When I downloaded the demo for Star wars: the force unleashed off of the Xbox live marketplace, I put it on the top of my buy list. When I started playing, I progessively started liking it more and more. There are moments that can be incredibly satisfying, and some moments that are incredibly frustrating. For example, when you pulverize a stromtrooper by picking him up, whacking repeatedly against a tree or pole or whatever the hell you can hit him against, zapping him with lightning, and throw him at his fellow imperial buddies in a game that could be described as "Stromtrooper bowling." And some incredibly frustrating moments pop up in the game, like when you're surrounded by purge troopers who fire their homing rockets at you, knock you down, and wait until you get back up again before they knock you down again to add insult to injury. And on top of that, you have those dumb scout troopers who snipe you if you stay still, forcing you to stay mobile. Although, I will give credit to the game for the replay value. I'm not saying this is the only game that's had problems, but I've never seen my brother scream at the TV like that. Even when you've completed the game, you can still go back and grab all the secret collectibles to unlock extre goodies like costumes. and even when you've done all that, there's downloadable levels and more costumes on the Xbox live marketplace, so you'll be kept busy. The storyline is merely average. There's no real depth to it, just travelling to different planets hunting down remaining jedi. But I really enjoyed this game, and I would suggest itto hack 'n' slash fans who just like to blow off some steam by killing stormtroopers and drop-kicking Jawas.
