Hype + Star Wars + Looks Amazing = Horrible?

Ah Star Wars, one of my favorite movies. Ah Star Wars: Forced Unleashed, one of my favori- wait did I say favorite? I mean one of the biggest letdowns ever for me in gaming! I really wanted to love this game, I really wanted it to be good, but no, wanting isn't good enough.

I'll point out the only good things about this game. Story, Sound, and that's about it. The graphics were decent, nothing special, the gameplay is fun at first but then just gets repetitive and boring, repetitive and boring, repetitive and boring.

In the boss fights, you usually have to finish them with a stupid combo which gets annoying after a while, and the game[on medium] is a bit of a challange. The achievements aren't to bad for 360 owners, and it's a shame their is no fight mode in the 360/PS3 versions. If you like Star Wars it's a good rent, other than that, for everyone else, it's a pass.

  I'll say it now, Force Unleashed is a bad game. It's buggy, it features an awful cast, it feels rushed, incomplete and in general compared to franchises like Jedi Knight and KOTOR is the weakest Star Wars title in a whil... Read Full Review
