Impressive, but it seemed rushed.

User Rating: 8 | Star Wars: The Force Unleashed X360
The idea of finally being able to fully realize the power of the force in a video game is something every Star Wars fan has been waiting for. If that is essentially what you're looking for in this game then it's definitely for you. The force powers are many and they are very fun to use all the way throughout the game.

As far as the gaming aspect of The Force Unleashed goes; it leaves something to be desired. The camera in this game is not the greatest, especially in tight areas. The targeting system leaves a lot to be desired as well, but this seems like something more and more developers are struggling with these days. The story is a Star Wars story: easy to follow with a few plot twists. I would have liked to see a few sub plots going on to create a more layered story arc. The main character seemed very out of place as a Sith apprentice, and as a protagonist in general.

The gameplay is fairly forgiving, but challenging at appropriate times. There was one level, however, that was intensely irritating. The "pull the star destroyer down" board. This should have been the climax of the story, but instead was an hour long exercise in repetition.

Anyway, I love Star Wars so I do have a somewhat biased opinion on this one. I loved it....now I'm looking forward to The Old Republic MMORPG.
