    The admittedly cool storyline is wasted on infrequent text windows with motionless character portraits.

    "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" doesn't really offer anything special, but basic hack and slash entertainment people enjoy.

And even though the story is cool and atmospheric, the game is far too short. Special recommendation for all hardcore Star Wars fans! Full Review »

    This game is the least greatest port for the Force Unleashed. Combat is repetitive and still is surprisingly fun when you knock back a bunchThis game is the least greatest port for the Force Unleashed. Combat is repetitive and still is surprisingly fun when you knock back a bunch of Stormtroopers off the balcony in Bespin. The game can be completed within an hour and graphics look like graphics from the PS1. The story is really nice and the level layout, although basic, is still fun. Overall, a pretty bad game and I would recommend the console versions instead. Full Review »
