    Fun jedi power fantasy. Force powers and slicing lightsabers never get old. Upgrade system is fun and impactful. Main story is pretty interesting overall, but characters are boring cliches for the time. Level design varies between great and mediocre. QTE boss fights are a real waste of potential.

    "The Force Unleashed" feels restrained despite its title. I never quite felt like a badass rogue Jedi that would give Superman a run for his money. In fact, while the combat is more often fun than not, it lacks a certain finesse. This is unfortunate. Especially since similar action games from the previous consoles ran a lot smoother (think "Ninja Gaiden" on XBOX). So while the story's"The Force Unleashed" feels restrained despite its title.

So while the story's concept is cool and the aesthetic of the Original Trilogy is perfectly re-created, the gameplay should've been better. Lengthy load times and tepid boss fights also keep the game from reaching its fullest potential. That being said, "The Force Unleashed" isn't awful, it just pales in comparison to something like God of War. Despite its shortcomings, this title is a must own for Star Wars fans. It's flawed, but fun. I would give it a 7.3 out of 10.… Expand

    To give this game credit the variety of levels and different types of enemies were quite good. Fighting a boss in each level was very fun. The combat was quite hack and slash and spam buttons but was still somewhat satisfying..

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Cons:
    - Facial animations are abysmal. They're not even funny like Halo 3 ODST ones were. Just creepy.
    - Controls are terrible: unresponsive and unsatisfying. Both combat and platforming feel like a crappy demo made overnight. Combat you can button-spam to some extent, but nothing will vindicate the platforming.
    - Active objects are highlighted inconsistently. Targeting is off. It's especially annoying during the gas chamber and Star Destroyer levels.
    - Progression tree is a list on the third level of menu (why?).
    - I was failing most of the QTE-scenes at the first try, just because they were starting out of nowhere.
    - Story is meh. Nothing new. Same bits of SW lore and themes remixed.    … Expand

What I got was a repackaged version of the Wii version with nothing, but an added dash of no mandatory motion controls. And even with all of that, I only beat the game in the 3 days I got it in, on the normal difficulty, and most of that time was spent spamming the force attack, Sith Lightning, or just the basic lightsaber attack over & over & over & over & over again. And while speaking of the gameplay everything controls fine, nothing too awful, but not great. The game is also really bare bones with both world progression and combat variety it mostly fizzles down to block for a little bit, then spam the attack buttons as much as you can. And the amount of attacks their we're, and how the upgrade system worked was terrible, yeah I get killing more enemies in a small amount of time multiplies the earnings you get by a lot, but that still doesn't fix the simple and boring combat mechanics. Which is sad because when you look at a game such as Devil May Cry, or even the Spider-Man Movie games on PS2 & GCN you can see that they both have in depth combat systems with lots of different ways to level up and get specific moves you want by engaging each enemy differently with different moves, with the added benefits of large open areas to pull of multiple attacks and still get combos going shows how disappointing this game is.… Expand

There is a lot of potential, but as a game, there is barely anything of quality to be found here.

I would almost go as far to say it rivals with Jedi Fallen Order, in some cases better as they are both very exciting. You will have the most fun in this game with Starkillers many force powers whether its playing with a Stormtrooper using the force or fighting walkers and even Jedi. The graphics as well even hold up in 2020 making it feel playable more than 10 years later. The story is also quite well in this game if not, better than some of what Disney has made. You will for sure feel connected to Starkiller and for some of his friends as they do give us some reminates and reminders that of Anakin and Luke. The real flaws in this game are with some of its small annoying mechanics and AI in the game. Some enemies feel repetitively annoying to fight some times as the game may force you (no pun intended) to patiently take out an enemy with a certain move and only that move. This somewhat removes the idea of having fun with combat in some scenarios however the game still has good combat either way. The one major flaw in this game however is its poor glitches. This is the main reason I cannot give this game a higher review as some of the glitches ruin the fun and take away from the gameplay. I saw this firsthand during a boss battle where the boss got stuck inside the map thus having me to restart the level. It also has glitches with you getting stuck in certain areas, crashes, and other bugs. Besides that, this game has a very well thawed out story and some fun gameplay. If the devs had fixed this games bugs and patched some of its other flaws, this would have been talked about by gamers for ages.… Expand

    The Force Unleashed has a very strong start thanks to the cinematic character introductory cutscenes and playing as Darth Vader.

    The Force Unleashed has a very strong start thanks to the cinematic character introductory cutscenes and playing as Darth Vader. The developer; Lucas Arts, certainly managed to capture the essence of Star Wars we know and love with characters such as Starkiller, Proxy and General Kota who had a real charm to them. Unfortunately, these few strong elements are drowned out by choppy character movements; plagued by terrible menu design and loading screens and although the game presents some visually engaging environments and basic platforming, it’s let down by its repetitive and mundane combat gameplay.

    ● Graphics [Okay]
    It’s tough to judge considering as of 2019 this game is over 10 years old. The game absolutely shines in some moments, particularly the medical bay Starkiller is taken after Vader attacks him in front of The Emperor; it looks photo-realistic, especially the textures on the floor. In-game cutscenes showcase painfully pixelated faces and almost facial expressions like that of a potato. The cinematic cutscenes, though blurry, look quite impressive. The general in-game graphics hold up well enough.

    ● Story [Good]
    I found the story interesting enough and it was greatly assisted by a strong cast of characters. Some aspects of the story were underdeveloped and forced, such as Starkiller’s Marry Sue abilities and the forced romance between him and the pilot. Cutscenes were made especially well and had me fully engaged every time. Lucas Film inserted quite a charm through them.

    ● Soundtrack [Okay]
    Star Wars music is always great however I did notice the tasteless use of a legendary track from Revenge of The Sith which is added to no great avail. The character’s were not developed well enough to warrant the use of such a meaningful piece and comes across like a try hard.

    ● Gameplay (Character movement, combat & enemies [Bad]
    While I appreciate the modernised, firmer character movement compared to the loose, wishy washy movement of past games such as Knights of The Old Republic, what was presented here was very clunky, unresponsive and unrefined. There was enough variety in attack moves, but it’s barely acceptable in 2019. The timing for pressing attack and seeing it on screen was wrong and seemed to lag as I would often switch between using Force Lightening and the Lightsaber attacks, only to become confused about which I was seeing on screen. Missions were almost entirely reduced to ‘go there and deactivate 3 generators’ over and over.

    Aside from the uncommon duels with Force sensitive people (which were impressively cinematic and challenging) and the completely dominating the regular Storm Troopers, the combat fell flat on its face. Different enemies and variants classes would appear in different levels, but they felt the same, notably the Felucian Warriors who were uninspiringly colour coded to highlight the leader and every engagement felt the same. The tank-like Imperial Purge Troopers were damage sponges who absorb an immersion-breaking amount of lightsaber attacks while barely reacting. Regular storm troopers provide the most rewarding experience as their weakness made for great lightsaber combos.

    ● Menus [Terrible]
    The pre-game and in-game menus are atrocious; some of the worst I’ve ever seen in a video game. The layout is clunky, navigation is slow, the font is barely legible and item information is accessed via a separate overlaying window rather than to the side of items being inspecting, making the task of upgrading skills arduous.

    ● Character Customisation [Good]
    Plenty of clothing and lightsaber customisation.    … Expand

Sam Witwer was amazing as Starkiller (Galen Marek) who in my opinion is one of the best Star Wars protagonists. All the side characters have their own lore and backstory to them as well. Kota was a respected general in the clone wars who rallied a group of rebels to form his own militia against the empire. PROXY is a protocol training droid who respects yet is programmed to kill his master. Juno is a highly skilled pilot who was trained to side with the empire from birth. I could go on and on but really the characters are all so great. Gameplay is fun and the physics engine is awesome when up against the effects of a force push or repulse. The game gets a bit repetitive around the end and has some fairly annoying enemy types and a near impossible "Sith Master" mode. Aside from these issues, I think this is probably up there with KOTOR and Shadows of The Empire as some of the best Star Wars stories ever made outside of the OT. Unfortunately none of this is canon any longer due to the fact that Disney has not a clue in the world as to what they are doing with the star wars universe. I think i'll just pretend this game is canon until it actually is again....if it is. Anyway yeah, this game is pretty flawed but really awesome.… Expand

You play as the Darth Vader's secret apprentice who has been tasked with hunting down the last of the Jedi that managed to escape Order 66 with their lives in a formerly cannon tale set between Episodes III and IV. An exciting prospect. One only strengthened by novelty of the combat system.

    The shear number of ways you are given to dispatch your foes is incredible. There's a lot of depth running beneath the standard hack n' slash formula. The further you progress and level up, the more exciting powers and combos you'll gain access to. The point of the game is to make you feel like an unstoppable killing machine and it succeeds well. It's not always the most difficult game as it's easy to exploit your way through most encounters by spamming the most overpowered attacks, but the game still provides more challenging encounters to keep you on your toes. The boss battles for instance, although they aren't the most balanced of things. Some you can just completely pummel with little to no effort. Others are outright crapshoots. They are the parts of the game where you most easily notice how not all of The Force Unleashed systems are the most reliable.

    With no lock on system you are left at the mercy of the game's auto-targeting when trying to use your force abilities. Suffice to say it's not always the smartest system. It has a habit of jumping around too much when things get crowded (which happens often) and develops a mind of it's own. You may shoot lighting at a crate instead the enemy you were initially targeting. Something that can be lethal during a boss fight. Swordplay is also a little floaty. Like I said, there's no lock on system and unlike other action games there isn't anything that pulls you towards your enemies and sticks with them. Sometimes you'll just be slicing at the air instead of your target. Something that's only amplified by the occasionally awkward camera. Platforming is easily the most flawed part of the gameplay. It's still and also suffers from camera issues and slipperiness.

    So it's worth noting that The Force Unleashed has it's issues. However, they don't ruin the game because when things are working right, which they usually are, the game is an absolute blast like few other Star Wars games have been. Your force powers are exciting and using a lightsaber feels great. The large levels are great and filled with secrets to find. Their design harkens back to Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, only not quite as archaic and there's a map onscreen to prevent you from getting lost. Plus, the game just has that great LucasArts feel to it that we just don't get too experience anymore now that they've been relegated to a strict publisher-only role.

    As if the gameplay weren't enough, there's also a great story here. It starts off really slow as you go about hunting the Jedi on different worlds, but opens up into something more after you best past it's opening levels. The characters are great and the quest of protagonist "Starkiller" may just be a huge loss to the Star Wars cannon. The presentation is also top-notch. Even today the world's you'll travel too are so beautiful that you'll be hard pressed to not be left with your jaw hanging. A lot of detail went into bringing these worlds to life and it shows. They've stood the test of time remarkably well.

    In my opinion this is one of the best Star Wars games out there. Yes, it's got some issues, but it's one of those rare SW games that truly makes you feel like a Jedi. You get the powers and the lightsaber, both of which feel great (minus those targeting inconsistencies) and one heck of a story to go with it. For Star Wars fans this is a must. However, it's not hard to see why those who aren't so keen on the galaxy far, far away might still have fun here. It's a well-made action game in it's own right.    … 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..

    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...

    "The Force Unleashed" is a mix of frustration and fun. Hayden Blackman's hack n' slash creation bridges both the original and prequel trilogies together with a good story that is no longer considered canon (since Disney bought Lucasfilm).

In it, Darth Vader assigns his secret apprentice (codenamed Starkiller) to hunt down the last remaining Jedi in the universe. The game's excellent presentation and cutscenes are mostly based off George Lucas' beloved original trilogy with a few nods to the prequels. It's got a few surprises and an ending that mirrors the conclusion to "Return of the Jedi". As far as the gameplay is concerned, it plays a lot like "God of War" only much clunkier. The targeting system isn't as smooth as it needs to be and the player will suffer plenty of cheap deaths because of it. Despite this, unleashing havoc with the force and a lightsaber is fun despite the repetitive nature of the battles. Boss fights are particularly terrible with the Star Destroyer segment being downright awful. It's these moments that make the game a slog to play through at times. And pointless QTEs also rear their ugly on occasion. But overall, "The Force Unleashed" is still a worthy "Star Wars" game due to its combination of a good story, excellent presentation and satisfying action. With four difficulty levels, optional challenges, secondary objectives and plenty of collectibles scattered throughout each level, it's a game worth playing through twice.… Expand

    Saying this is the best Star Wars game isn't saying much but that it's also one of the best action adventure games I've played is. Starting out with classic Star Wars opening with the great theme song got me excited and it wasn't for nothing. It's a shame Lucas Arts is no more. Now we can look forward to Visceral's unannounced Star Wars game.

Having to fight to get health can make the highest difficulty a real pain, but after beating the highest difficulty twice, I can say it's a fun experience that has several difficulty peaks that create aggravation. Like I said the story connects the trilogies together. As Darth Vader's secret apprentice you are sent out to kill the last of the Jedi that have been found. The story then moves into territory I consider Spoilers but the adventure reaches an end at an all to familiar location.

    The controls allow you to easily switch between slicing and dicing to smashing foes with the force and smiting them with lightning. Enemies don't attack with the same patterns outside boss fights so you need to learn to use all of your abilities at the slightest moments notice.

    Collectibles range from different light saber Crystals to costumes and exp. They range from in plain site to off the beaten path and past a puzzle, but once you see one you know it's there.

    Pros:
    -the graphics are great.
    -you have quite a bit of control over your character's growth and upgrades.
    -the story is awesome, really, its the only thing that kept me playing it!
    -interesting character, level and boss design.
    -achievements are easy and cliche (i.e. kill X amount of enemies using Y).
    -attacking lesser units like storm troopers can be really fun and/or hilarious.
    -you can collect "Holocrons" for power-ups and items and the game keeps track of "Force Points" based on who or what you kill.
    -there is a neat and challenging bonus objective in each level.

    Cons:
    -auto targeting is a joke (ie you're in a corridor, you use the force to pick up a barrel, there is a storm trooper and a service droid next to each other down the corridor, you aim for the trooper and throw the barrel, the game decides that the barrel should hit the wall to your right).
    -invisible walls everywhere and you can't climb on anything that you would normally be able to climb on (ie big rocks, tipped over tree trunks).
    -completely linear level design.
    -glitched level design; I almost found my way out of the level once or twice. In a boss battle I accidentally threw the boss below the level, the only indication of this being her light sabre sticking up out of the ground, causing me to have to start the level over again. In one level I found an invincibility power up, but fell off of a platform to what should have been a flaming death, but instead I survived because of the power up and was stuck at the bottom of the level, even after the power-up faded away.
    -inconsistent as hell! if I can pull a Star Destroyer from space, then why can't I pick up AT-STs or Dark Troopers!?
    -"finishing moves" in boss battles are reduced to God of War style "Simon says" button mashing...rendering some of the awesome combos you learned near pointless.

    To add insult to injury, the game was shipped with a huge glitch that took months before it was addressed; on some random level(s), the game will not keep track of Force Points, the number of Holocrons you collected or even tell you what your bonus objective was (it would say "DEFAULT TEXT") at the end of the level, this happened to me on the very last level and stayed that way until the patch for it was released.

Major gameplay slow down when nothing is occurring, physics issues that make push force powers weak or even stun lock Starkiller on higher difficulties, horrible AI that, at times will stand still during a boss fight while you remain unharmed until moving. The developers must have not learned to use triggers properly, as voice acting that plays during specific points in the game is tied to place, so if you walk backwards to get something you missed (holocrons, or enemies), the voices play again, and again, and again. Horrible lag in interface menus, and game must restart to apply something as basic as a costume. The light saber is of little worth on real difficulty levels, and you're forced to use the same cheap tactics and exploit the stupid AI to survive the poor controls. Way too many QTEs, and poorly designed levels that force user to trial and error jumps. The physics bites the user in the butt whenever they move something they have to walk on, as the game will treat areas as "slip off and fall" zones after touching them. Since most attacks stun you, you can die from excessive damage from standing still. The game's only saving grace is it's easily predictable plot. The game only enjoys any praise it has from intense fans of the Star Wars universe: a universe so devoid of innovation or actual plot that it survives solely on marketing and hype. I've completed the game for the sake of being a completionist, but I feel like this is the poorest $20 I've spent on a Xbox 360 game in a while. It offers nothing new to gamers or fans of Star Wars that couldn't have executed in a shoddy flash game/animation.… Expand

    360 version is full of glitches which quite frequently end in you losing the last bit of your health. Good storyline, but lacks the ability to have a fair fight, as the enemy mostly croud around your body as u lay on the ground and let them take turns beating the crap through u. Good game, but ALOT more testing is required for next time.

    I don't know what people are complaining about Bug & Glitch-wise, and i'm not much of a star wars fan, but i sat through and played this game non stop, and enjoyed every minute of it. the Fighting Combos were done much better then any other game that had used the system in the past, the Force Powers amounted to the pure amount of pwnage suggested by the title, and the fights I don't know what people are complaining about Bug & Glitch-wise, and i'm not much of a star wars fan, but i sat through and played this game non stop, and enjoyed every minute of it. the Fighting Combos were done much better then any other game that had used the system in the past, the Force Powers amounted to the pure amount of pwnage suggested by the title, and the fights were all ultimately satisfying, as well as the memorable and well done story line. 10 / 10… Expand

    Has lots of problems. Don't even really bother renting it unless you're okay with lots of glitches.

    A must for anyone who is interested in the Star Wars saga. Very good story. Too bad the game is short and has very little replay value.

    With its non-branching storyline and no multiplayer, Force Unleashed is certainly less ambitious than the classic "Jedi Knight" games - and ultimately, its design makes it feel more videogame-y and less of an all-engrossing Star Wars experience than Xbox entries like "Jedi Knight II" or "Jedi Academy." But when the game is on, it's on. [Oct 2008, p.70]

    By even allowing the choice between simple hack-and-slash gameplay and the more complex mix-up combos, LucusArrts has ensured that many will never view the title’s full potential. [Oct 2008, p.104]
