I’m not much of a star wars fan. I’ve seen the movies (kind of) and respect the fact that wielding a lightsaber is fun and flinging things round with your mind is just awesome.
So when it was announced that star wars TFU was coming out I was quite excited. Because it had lightsaber wielding, it had flinging things and people round with your mind. And as I am a fan of devil may cry and Ninja Gaiden it was a 3rd person action so this was set out to be a killer game.
I really enjoy it. It’s got the things you come to expect from a good 3rd person action game. It has the challenging end level bosses. It has the variety of slaying your opponents with a selection of techniques. This game does what it was inicaily set out to do which is being a decent 3rd person action game which any body can pick up and play.
The Force Unleashed - Doing Justice to the 3rd person action genre
On top of the 3rd person action you also have the basic customisation system. Basic it is but small it isn’t. By the end of the game you have a good selection of costumes to choose from. And (if you find them) a good variety of different colours and states of lightsaber. There are also the skill trees that you can power up while you play. This all kind of boils down to a simple create your own Jedi system which I love.
Even though I have only played a couple of levels I can tell that the story is going to be epic. Put it this way it’s star wars. Of course the story is going to be epic. Starkiller himself is a very in depth character which will no doubt become even more apparent as the story progresses.
The core game play itself is pretty good. The environments are stunning paying very good attention to detail. Even though the graphics may slip a little it doesn’t really bother me.
I have yet to play this game all the way though but to my mind first impressions always count and if you are a star wars fan this is the game for you.
Score: 8 out of 10
