Force Unleashed review(PS3 and 360 Vs)

[Lord Sidious II]

Well I had been waiting for this game since the concept art was first released. I gotta tell you i was very excited for what this game was bringing us;

1. The use of the force as we never have seen it.
2. a story line based on a sith or villain
3. it was one of the first games, barring darkforces, that explores the gap between the PT and the OT.

SO of course i Pre-ordered that S**t. Well i got it Tuesday and it was cool.

However (criticism starts here) I was some what let down.

My first complaint is that this game was WAY WAY WAY too short. The gameplay was cool but not as cool as they hyped it up to be. I guess i was expecting a little more......to do rather than just follow the path and kill whoever is next. Don't get me wrong it was cool to be able to lift/destroy just about everything, especially the mission on board the Empiricall, although it was short that was fun. The saber battles, the few there were, were awesome too. The story line really saved the game even though some parts seem to contradict established canon.

I give a 7/10, it was fun but did not live up to the hype.

What they could have done to save the PS3 and 360 versions? MULTIPLAYER!

That's all they had to do, was give us a decent Multiplayer, i dont even mean a LIVE version i just mean a versus mode like they did in the ROTS game, with the new engines and graphics it would have been awesome. A good Versus mode with a large cast would have given this game so much more playtime. Wii got one and it looks decent, why not give 360 and PS3 one? Really dropped the ball there guys!

Again it is an OK game, with a bit more effort and a multiplayer versus mode this would have been a Great game

What did you think?

I totally agree with you bro. Although I do disagree with your rating, as I gave it a 8/10. Some of the parts were actually quite challenging and made me think, which made it an awesome game. It was too short, you are right. In addition to this, I read that there was supposed to be an alternate darkside ending, hence the Sith Stalker Armor costume. So I have this to say...where the Hell is the alternate ending, huh? I wanted to do the aternate ending before I did the canon ending, and my plan flew out the window today when I finished the game. I had to use a freaking cheat code in order to get the Sith armor.

In my opinion, the one thing that truly saved the game for me was the final moments of the fight between the Apprentice and Vader. Tearing that hulking, walking respiratory system's suit up and cutting off his helmet was so awesome! ;D

When you get to the very end instead of going to fight Palpatine and saving Kota jump down to where Vader is to finish him off. This triggers a hard fight with Vader instead of Palps, giving you the Darkside ending.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks!

Shortest game I've ever played. I can't believe I beat it already.

[Lord Sidious II]

see exactly. Short story mode. BUT that would be well overshadowed by a decently fun vs mode. The wii game has everyone from Asajj to Luke to Sidious and several venues to fight in. WHY would you not out that in the 360/PS3 version?? Makes no sense to me.

[Marrek Exquisitus Korr]

They made every version "unique" in their own way. In my opinion, they kinda just made it worse than what they hyped it up to be. If they made every version the same, the game would have been a lot better. Not exactly the same, of course, because that would be basically impossible due to the differences for each system, but you know what I mean. But yeah, the PS3 version was seriously lacking...it needed a multi-player mode. I mean, I love replaying the game, which is what I'm doing right now, but with the way I am I'll get bored doing that over and over again. With games like Jedi Academy and KOTOR (1 and 2), I never get tired of replaying them. With the Force Unleashed, there's a pretty good chance that I might get bored of replaying it over and over again. If they had made a multi-player mode/vs. mode with various characters from each of the episodes and from the game with various fighting arenas, I'd never get tired of it and I could play the story mode over and over again. In fact, if they made the multi-player mode like they did the free-for-all mode in the Jedi Knight MP, that would be great! I would have loved that, but instead we get no versus mode. What's that all about?
