  • Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (PSP)

    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is the latest installment in the exciting and ever-expanding Star Wars mythos. The Force Unleashed offers an interesting take on traditional Star Wars storytelling by pitting the player in the Empire's Dark Times, where the sinister Emperor Palpatine orders the sinister Sith to rid the universe of all the Jedi.

    THE BOTTOM LINE: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is an incredibly original and rich experience, and may be the best handheld Star Wars game to date!

  • Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

    The basic premise of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a stroke of brilliance: in the years between Episodes III and IV, Darth Vader takes a secret apprentice and puts him to work mopping up the few remaining Jedi. Finally we can dispense with all the self-righteous moralizing and embrace the awesome power of the dark side, right? Sort of.

    Editor's Note: We looked at both versions of Force Unleashed and found no discernible differences between the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, so the review stands for both platforms. You can find the review of the PS3 version here.

    THE BOTTOM LINE: Killer force powers and intense action can't fully save an otherwise inconsistent effort. Still, it has its moments.

The Force Unleashed Wii

While Lucasarts focused mainly on the Xbox and PS3 versions of the game, the Wii version is much better, (I've played all versions of the game.) Yes, of course the graphics can be a little bit off, but what makes the game so great is it's story, voice/acting, and gameplay. What makes the Wii version overall better though, is it's content. You will certainly find new characters and levels exclusive to the Wii version. Also, the idea of your Wii remote being a lightsaber is pretty cool. In my opinion, Other than the original Battlefront, This star wars game is the biggest success yet.
