But by the time you reach the end of the game, he's incredibly powerful. When you first take control of Vader's secret apprentice, he's already pretty powerful with Force Push and Force Grip in his repertoire. You can Force Grip soldiers and toss them into oncoming TIE fighters, stab someone with a nicely tossed lightsaber that happens to be electrified for extra coolness, or use a good old bit of Force Repulse to shove a group of soldiers away from you and off the side of a suspended bridge (which will also result in the bridge buckling from the blast). When you go to push a stormtrooper away from you, he won't just fall over, he'll fly. This is a version of the Force that really hasn't been seen anywhere before, with over-the-top uses of things like Force Push. The Force Unleashed is built around giving players the ability to, as the name perfectly implies, unleash the Force.

Kudos to the team for crafting a story that not only extends the fiction, but in a few small ways even expands upon the existing content. It's hard to talk about exactly why without spoiling anything, but I'll just say that the tale does a very good job of tying the two trilogies together and nicely sets up the current state of everything that you see in A New Hope. The game's story takes place between Episodes III and IV (or the new and old trilogy for you number-phobic readers out there), though much closer in the timeline to A New Hope than Revenge of the Sith. It does enough things right, especially with regards to giving players the ability to wield the Force like we've never seen before, to make it a play-worthy effort for Star Wars fans everywhere, but it does so with a number of missteps that won't easily be overlooked. Featuring such technical buzzwords as Digital Molecular Matter and naturalmotion's Euphoria engine, the game has brought a ton of promise to the table.ĭoes it deliver? Yes and no.

#STARWARS THE FORCE UNLEASHED PS4 LICENSE#
LucasArts hopes to change all that with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, a game that's been hyped not solely on its license and story, but its technology as well.
#STARWARS THE FORCE UNLEASHED PS4 PC#
Raven did the PC right with a handful of Jedi Knight titles, but console gamers have been left out in the cold on Hoth for many years now. It's been a long, long time since we've seen a good action-based Star Wars game hit consoles.
