Ok, but once you get over all the new stuff, the game gets really repeptive.

SW: TFU can really amaze you with its destructive abilities, but the pros are outweighed by bad graphics and a mediocre fighting system. The new addition to the Star Wars series opens up a lot of new info in the time between the destruction of the Jedi and when Luke S. comes into the picture. Apparently, more Jedi than you think survive order 66, such as Shaak Ti and several new Jedi, like Kaazdan Paratus and General Kota. You play as Darth Vader's secret apprentice, Darth Starkiller, and are assigned to hunt down the reamaining Jedi without leaving any witnesses, no matter what side they're on (which sounds like more fun than it really is).
Unfortunately, you can only play as Starkiler, but the game features a good amount of customization, such as lightsaber strength and color, force abilities, combo attacks, etc. You can also unlock costumes by beating levels and finding Jedi "holocrons", which appear as glowing whiter boxes hidden in the levels.
The graphics aren't that good but almost everything in the levelcan be destroyed and you can go back and do levels over again. The game features a good amount of enemies, too. There are several familiar characters (Princess Leia, R2-D2, Shaak Ti, Vder etc.) but there are many new characers that have never been introduced. Juno Eclipse, Starkiller's ship pilot, seems new but was actually in the game Sar Wars: Jedi Starfighter.
Sadly, even through all the publicity such as through GameInformer mag, this game gets very repetitive once you learn all the secrets and moves in the game. Once you beat the game and get all the upgrades, the game is not really worth playing again.
