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 by taking full advantage of newly developed technologies that will be seen and experienced for the first time: Digital Molecular Matter (DMM), by Pixelux Entertainment, and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. Paired with the powerful Havok Physics™ system, these new technologies create gameplay only possible on the new generation of consoles. DMM incorporates the physical properties of anything in the environment so that everything reacts exactly like it should - wood breaks like wood, glass shatters like glass, plants on the planet Felucia bend like plants on the planet Felucia would, and more. Meanwhile, as a revolutionary behavioral-simulation engine, euphoria enables interactive characters to move, act and even think like actual human beings, adapting their behavior on the fly and resulting in a different payoff every single time.

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 homeworld Kashyyyk and the floral Felucia, the junk planet Raxus Prime, plus an Imperial TIE fighter construction facility.

The Force Unleashed is LucasArts' first internally developed title for next-generation consoles, and it represents the first in-game collaboration of talents and technology between LucasArts and Industrial Light & Magic, two companies now finally under one roof at the new Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco's Presidio district.

The Force Unleashed debuts Digital Molecular Matter from Pixelux and euphoria behavioral simulation from NaturalMotion Ltd.

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.

The Wii version will have a dueling multiplayer option, so you can duel your jedi against each other...

I'll have a pop on later.  If we're not on Football First.

Played it through a few times now...not much given away with regards to story & the camera tends to be a bit sluggish when caught up in the action. Looks promising so far...

they should make a cross between star wars and GTA and fifa 08 that would be awesome

Just bought this yesterday out of Woolies for £17.99, havent stopped playing it since ( except now )

Quite a good game, once you start its hard to stop though!

My type of games! The sub £20 ones!

Well played Swinton.

Completed it now.
Very good game with an alternate ending.
You can save your friends and fight the emperor or kill Vader in revenge.
Of course I chose to save my friends.

Bah! I would have killed Vader

Anybody played the second one of this? Heard it was nowhere near as good as the first but for £10 on PSN store decided to give it a go as I love Star Wars games.

I loved both but I'm a huge Star Wars nerd. Only downside is it's only a few hours long

Completed it in 2 hours. What a waste on money

I hope you dont feel that way about the game, and I hope you did everything you can in the game. It's a really good game, and a good story to go with it, number 2 is alot better for gameplay-length, and carries on form the first (as you would expect). But even so the first is a good game especially for starwars fans, and I dont mean the films, but the story as a whole
