    DLC Only Review-The extra levels (Jedi Temple, Tatooine, and Hoth)

    I figured I'd focus in on the DLC considering that some people (like me) might be eyeing this edition over the standard version because the DLC levels are such a cool idea. The only problem is that they are not very well executed. The force targeting system is still terrible, usually it'll take a few tries to aim at    DLC Only Review-The extra levels (Jedi Temple, Tatooine, and Hoth)

    The force targeting system is still terrible, usually it'll take a few tries to aim at an enemy or object for a cool throw or lightning. It's a real frustrating time and a lot easier to stick with lightsaber strikes instead.

    The story isn't as awesome as you might expect. For all the levels there is about 30-40 minutes of slogging through endless groups of enemies with a fairly easy boss at the end and a few QT events to finish them off. Doesn't feel very epic.

    Also, this version is only available on current generation consoles through PSnow streaming, which is horrendous-but not the developer's fault. Just a warning to anyone who chooses to play it that way.    … Expand

    This game is basically God of War set in the star wars world but with none of the variety… You start the Game as Darth Vader and its perfect.. You’re walking slowly just destroying everyone and everything in sight… It’s a great way to introduce the fighting mechanics and I didn’t want it to end... honestly if all 6 and a half hours    Star Wars The Force Unleashed

    This game is basically God of War set in the star wars world but with none of the variety…
    You start the Game as Darth Vader and its perfect..
    You’re walking slowly just destroying everyone and everything in sight…
    It’s a great way to introduce the fighting mechanics and I didn’t want it to end...
    honestly if all 6 and a half hours of this game was the prologue… it would be pretty close to a 10/10 experience…
    unfortunately it isn’t..
    Sadly you play the game as Darth Vader’s Apprentice after something happens that I’m not gonna say... I don’t want to spoil it…
    The Story here is actually really enjoyable, easy to follow along with and I wanted to see it to its end…
    But you play through the 9 missions in total killing the Jedi among other characters…
    And again this is god of war with light sabers…
    As you progress through the levels slicing enemies and finding new light sabers so you aren’t stuck with sith red... you’re leveling up for skill points to spend in the 3 different skill trees…
    You’re completing tasks in these linear levels using the force where you have to pull items out of their sockets for the most part or zap them with lightning… using the force to grab and pull doesn’t really feel all too intuitive or responsive though…
    many frustrating moments trying to bend doors and grab onto items to fling them through the air…
    And at the end of each mission you take on a boss…
    Every boss is really about jumping out of the way and slashing them more times than they slash you.. And they all end in a god of war style quick time event….
    it’s cool meeting all of these star wars characters and visiting the different worlds…
    But beyond the prologue... the game feels generic…
    You visit no place interesting..
    so level progressing trying to build yourself up to the Vader status you started as is just no fun…
    you feel more like running through to the end rather than spending the time fighting enemies wanting to get stronger because it is so boringly designed…
    You never truly reach the god status the games beginning teases you with either which was so satisfying and fun even at the slow pace Vader was moving at…
    This games graphics are insane though considering it came out in 2008…
    Usually early ps3 and 360 games are hard on my eyes…
    But this game could easily be passed off as a late gen ps3 game or a downloadable game on the ps4..
    I was genuinely impressed...
    I just wish they put these graphics towards making interesting levels and environments to explore…
    Overall Star Wars The Force Unleashed is a decently fun game with an interesting story…
    Just not varied enough with its gameplay or level design to call it a must play for anyone not already a star wars fan..
    But if you are a fan even a little and you do play... you won’t be disappointed.. at least not extremely disappointed...
    I give Star Wars The Force Unleashed
    a 7/10    … Expand

    What's different from this game than the regular edition is 3 new levels that take about 30 minutes to complete each. Other than that its a good game but the combat can be stale and frustrating at times.
