For this platform, this game has a lot going against it. Still, it came across a little better than anticipated.
User Rating: 6.5 | Star Wars: The Force Unleashed DS
LIke for most games that have a DS version available, the experience is not nearly as epic or intense. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed would be a classic example of how this platform displays that apparent cutback. Visually, it was not bad at all. However, with a couple well drawn pictures and several blocky animated sequences, the cut scenes and final actions were not nearly as impressive. Going to gameplay, it was pretty straightforward and easy to control. I did enjoy the combo system using the stylus instead of button mashing like other games would have you do. Still, the battles were highly simplistic and easy to get around. I played it twice just to see how the game ended with either choice made near the end.
Overall, it was not a bad game. It ran shorter than I would have liked, but with DS games, that is to be expected. If you're a fan of Star Wars, go ahead and check it out. It makes an interesting addition to the entire story arc. Other than that, I'm pretty much finished with it.
