The Star Wars saga will continue in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, a videogame developed by LucasArts, which casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi - and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.

As its name implies, The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force. The Wii version will not only give you a solid story-line developed by LucasArts involving the Darth Vader's secret apprentice, but you'll experience a new style of gameplay only the Wii can offer. With the Wiimote and Nunchuk you'll be able to battle your way through your enemies utilizing your Lightsaber attacks and Force powers. Not only can you experience this new control system in story mode, but you can also try your Jedi skills against a friend in the Wii, "Battle Mode." Joining the Dark Side doesn't seem like such a bad idea after all.

Game Features:
  • During the period between Episodes III and IV, players hunt Jedi in the role of Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice.
  • Unleash and upgrade the Secret Apprentice's four core Force powers - Force push, grip, repulse and lightning - throughout the course of the game, and combine them for ultra-destructive, never-before-seen combos.
  • Examples of unleashing the Force in ways never thought possible:
    • The Secret Apprentice won't just Force push enemies into walls - he'll Force push enemies through walls.
    • The Secret Apprentice won't just Force grip foes to throw them aside - he'll Force grip them in midair, zap them with lightning, then drop them to the ground to explode like a bomb.
  • In addition to new adversaries created just for the game, such as fugitive Jedi and Force-sensitive Felucians, players will also confront and associate with familiar faces from the Star Wars films, including Darth Vader.
  • Visit locations such as Episode III's Wookiee home world Kashyyyk and the floral Felucia, the junk planet Raxus Prime, plus an Imperial TIE fighter construction facility.
  • The Wii system's "Battle Mode," a one on one fighting arena simliar to the classic game, Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi.
  • Use the Wiimote to slash and pierce your enemies with your Jedi Lightsaber while you use the Wii Nunchuk to disable other opponents with your Force Powers.
  • LucasArts is preparing an unprecedented promotional effort around the launch of The Force Unleashed, encompassing a full line of toys and game-based action figures from Hasbro, as well as a full publishing program from Dark Horse, Del Rey and Palace Press.

Meet the Cast
The Star Wars Saga will continue in 2008 with LucasArts' biggest-ever video game event.

The Cast of The Force Unleashed

The Technology of The Force Unleashed
With The Force Unleashed, LucasArts not only introduces a new chapter in the Star Wars saga, but also pushes the Wii's game engine to deliver amazing detail and realism only found in a Star Wars title. You will experience gameplay and the Force like you never had before.

2.0 out of 5 stars This is not the game you are looking for, 22 Sep 2008
By Lee Griffin "The unnecessary pedant" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Wii) (Video Game)
A long time ago, in a city far, far away I wanted to really have a light sabre and fight (nicely) with my mates. We played with brooms or brollies and made our own humming sounds. It was great. This, I thought, would be the same, only with a Wii remote and I could do force pushes and all that, and so you can... but it's still not right.
If you have Lego Star Wars, it's actually pretty much the same game, but lacking the Lego comedy value. Your character can do about half a dozen moves with the sword, and that's it. You can do force pushes on things a-la Lego. Oh, and you get force lightening too.
The problems are that you can never actually work out what's happening. The camera always seems to be looking the wrong way, the controls are slow, the sound really average, and it's just plain disappointing. It feels like it was written for the PS2, and then rather than use the "circle" button, you wobble the remote. Couple that to the fast realisation it is a platform game, just like Rainbow Islands (remember that?) or Chuckie Egg from the eighties, only in 3-D. That is lazy design. In fact, if you have Lego Star Wars just replay it and you have the same experience.
Dear George Lucas, if you are reading this, all we want is a proper light sabre duel game. One where my movement of the sabre is tracked by whatever character I am playing, not where I get to make him do one of four options. Better yet, one where I get to stand on the WiiFit balance board too for the full effect. Even better, allow me to somehow fight with my mates like I used to using a broom handle...

2.0 out of 5 stars Wasted Opportunity, 26 Sep 2008
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Wii) (Video Game)
This game promised so much but in the end it fails to deliver. The graphics are not great. OK, the wii is best used for cartoon graphics and can't compete with the high end consoles but some of the backgrounds and explosions are pathetic.

The camera is controlled by a drunken wookie and is quite happy to sit 2 inches behind a tree while you are battling someone on the far side of an arena. The first person mode is useless and I don't know why they bothered including it, unless it was for marketing screenshots.

Finally - the controls. Oh dear. I dreamed of the wii remote becoming the handle of my own lightsaber. I imagined swinging it and hearing the hum and crackle as my virtual lightsaber tracked the movement on screen. No - that is not what happens. You use the wii remote to chose one of four moves. Thats it. Up, down, left, right. There is no sense of battling an enemy, just twiddling a hunk of plastic as fast as you can. The programmers would have achieved just as much using the D-Pad for the lightsaber moves and keeping the wii remote for controlling the view.

This is a sad day for Star Wars fans. Very Sad.

2.0 out of 5 stars ultimately disappointing, 23 Sep 2008
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Wii) (Video Game)
I really wanted this game to be great, I'd have settled for good, I've ended up with disappointing.

There are some good points - the graphics aren't bad for the wii and, let's face it, you get to play with lightsabres and 'using the force'.

The story itself is linear - each mission has to be played in the order given to you, you can't choose destinations like you can in some other games such as 'Knights of the Old Republic'. And its the same planets over and over. I'm only half-way through and I've already had to go to the Jedi Temple three times and Kashyyk twice - in an infinite universe it seems a shame to revisit three planets endlessly.

It's not just the locations that give you deja-vu, the gameplay itself is repetitive. On the Kashyyk levels you'll battle through swathes of lightsabre fodder before meeting a couple of Rancours, then more fodder before the end-of-level guardian. On subsequent visit its just the number and size of the Rancours that change. On the industrial worlds the fodder are stormtroopers and the Rancours are AT-ATs. And each time you kill one you get treated to exactly the same cut-sequence - nice the first time you see it, but dull after you've destroyed five of them in the same way.

There really isn't much here to entertain for days, but it is fun for the first couple of hours. If you are going to get it, wait for the sales to get value for money.
