Star Wars Force Unleashed Impressions


Ok I have to admit that I have heard quite some mixed reviews for Star Wars the Force Unleashed so i had to grab this game and try it for myself. Let me start by saying that Darth Vader is a full fledged pimp. That being said I also think that the ability to force throw 7 foot Wookies needs to be incorporated into every game. Even better is using a Wookie as a bowling ball that you can hurl into other Wookiies.

The environments are for the most part fully destructible, which is a great touch for throwing enemies through trees. Targeting different enemies can be a bit challenging to get a hang of but once you get that down using the force powers like throwing your lightsaber is very fun. Fighting the first Rogue Jedi was an interesting battle when you realize that he is taking Tie Fighters out of the sky and throwing them at you.

So far the game seems to provide some open ended ways to dispose of enemies and interesting ways to use the force to get your job done. Cut scenes and voice acting are spot on and really provide great background to the game and pull you into the story. So far the Force Unleashed looks like a good time to be had.

Stay tuned for a full review of the game very soon.

More Star Wars in Soul Calibur 4, whoopie!

So you thought it was a bit silly to have Darth Vader and Yoda in Soul Calibur 4? Well, things get even cheesier now with the inclusion of Darth Vader’s young Jedi apprentice, Starkiller. Some may ask who the f*%$ is Starkiller? Well, the main character for the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, of course. Seems like a shameful excuse to plug the upcoming game. It was bad enough to have Yoda and Darth Vader in there, but now another character? Why not throw in Chewbacca while you’re at it? What do you guys think?
