Game Preview-Star Wars:The Force…..UNLEASHED!!!

Posted in Game Previews at 5:06 pm by earl

The second game I’m most looking forward to in 2008 (1000 points to who can tell the #1), Star Wars:The Force Unleashed looks to one of 2008’s crown jewels. Being headed by LucasArts, fantastic developers behind Star Wars Battlefront, and just pretty every Star Wars game, it looks to be in good hands. It’s also being helped out by Hasbro, Lego, and Dark Horse! Of course, the others will be mainly helping with the Comic and toys. LucasArts is definitely sharing the love and shooting the game for numerous platforms, including the PS2, PS3, PSP, Xbox 360, DS, and Wii. The game is basically a in-the-middle-quel with the story revolving around Darth Vader’s secret apprentice sent to take out the remaining Jedi after Order 66 in Episode 3 and before the events of Episode 4. Some have even said he was hired by Vader to take down the Emperor. But we’ll just have to wait and see. The game uses a super cool new game whosamawhatey called Digital Molecular Matter, where the environment really reacts like ti should. You set a Stormtrooper on fire, he’ll react as if he’s on fire. The environment just got cooler. You 360 fans can go with your fancy graphics, but is Wiiboys will be having way more fun with our motion-sensing. I’m hoping it will go lightsaber control with the Wii remote, and then force control with the nunchuk. Overall, this game looks super super sweet and will hopefully be hitting store shelves sometime in April.
