Starwars: The Force Unleashed Impressions.

Ok..Heres my disclaimer, If you havent played this game but will begin to have massive cornary attacks if the plot is spoiled for you.Please by all means stop reading.

Now I'll assume you all knew that the game's plotline was being accepted as official Starwars canon. With that said I was only alittle dissapointed with the hugely over-hyped story,Unless of course you've seen all 6 movies and then you can fill in the plot holes on your own. The story in a nutshell goes alittle somthin like this: Darth Vader finds a boy who he can sense is very powerful in the force,and makes him his secret apprentice. Said apprentice begins undertaking missions to kill the fugitive Jedi who survived order-66. After killing said Jedi the apprentice (codenamed "Starkiller") begins to have doubts about Vader and his missions, He falls in love with his pilot (who is female thank God),Ultimately turns to the Light side and thus starts the rebellion.

Now..With that outta the way I can get down to the mechanics of the game which impressed me the most.I'll cover things like controls, sound, framerate, stuff like that in my reveiw. But now I wanna talk about the Euphoria engine, which absolutley shines in this game. Evertime you grip,push,slice,jump, Somthing in the enviorment will react to you. Wood splinters, metal bends,glass shatters,bodies flop,the physics of this game are nothing short of amazing. There's almost nothing in the world you cant destroy, and if you cant destroy it you can bang it up pretty badly.

All in all it was a decent game, I would definately recommend it as a rental,as it can be beaten pretty easily within around 4-5 hours. But its fun and accessable (my 6 year old brother beat it before I did and unlocked most of my acheviements for it).But if you're a Starwars fan you'll appreciate the canon ending, and maybe the alternate ending, which personally I thought was kinda lame. But hey, to each his own right?

P.S was I the only one to notice Juno Eclipse had buck teeth?
