Geart review as always and just want to say cant wait to get it (tight on money as always) got to get the 360 version though.
I liked the force unleashed when I played it, but then I did play it on the PS3. A great review as always. Liked the put down of George Lucas. I had the horrific misfortune to glimpse on a tv show about the first films a small adaptation of them called something like Ewoks Christmas. It was only a clip, but it was far worse than even the prequels. Keep up the great reviews Yahtzee!
Rented it, and the camera is truly awful! I walked into walls because it was looking the other way!
the truth of the matter is there really is no continuity to star wars. oh sure they want you to believe there is with the movies but once you step slightly outside the original trilogy and the shitty prequels you are in for a realm of contingency errors that could kill a small dog. for example Shaak Ti, the jedi master on what i can only call the world largest fungus, has actually been killed three different times, which just feel like the people of Lucas Arts felt that they should take the term "beating a dead horse" and apply it literally...
as soon as i heard "to take down the emperor" i knew that it did not bode well for "star killer" (seriously wtf is with star wars and working the word "star" into anything sith related? is it just that the sith cant think of an original idea? do they just sit at a board meeting going "ok we need to name a 2000 mile long space craft, how about star... star.. STAR DESTROYER, it's so unique, unlike any other name we have given anything!"), as soon as he was starting to turn good, got all his affairs in order it was pretty much foreboding of that after crossing the laser tunnel of death (where sanity goes to die) he would basically have his neck snapped. which from the get go we could tell there would be no happy ending but it was still hours of build up for a quick ending (though there is a dark side ending where instead of trying to kill sidious you kill Vader, those who made the rebel alliance in the light side ending are all killed and all continuity is shot to fucking hell). but the fact of the matter is i didnt hate the game, no i rather enjoyed tossing tie fighters around like it was nothing for just the sole purpose of hearing a satisfying explosion, but really when you have fucked up all continuity as much as Lucas has it might as well have just been it's own stand alone franchise instead of the fan fiction delight that it is ( i cant unhear "parallel time line" being applied to this game... oh how i wish i could).
personally i wouldn't have minded having one of the first ideas for this being done, where you are a wookie warrior but it will never happen since lucas is hellbent to never let a wookie have it's own game calming it is because "characters need to communicate well"...

For the record, The Clone Wars WAS a two hour introduction clip. XD (That's not to say it was GOOD, by any means.)Yahtzee Croshaw said:
Here is an actual video of Darth Vader using the force to win a dance competition:

This did a jedi mind trick on me. I thought it was fun on release and then my beer goggles subsided and i was left only with hollow button mashing and pauses after combos. Weak.
The game was freaking 5 hours on the Wii, and the second playthrough was so easy, just max out force push and there ya go. I just waved the nunchuck around to kill everyone. This is why I got a PS3
Seriously, The Wii version and PS2 version made me belittle the whole game. I just got the 360 version yesterday and I'm 2 level's in and it's 10 times better.
