Star Wars The Force Unleashed

but with a lot of bugs, especially in the achievements.

I think so. And since we have no other option for this generation consoles, yes! Story is pretty cool and the fighting mechanics are good. If you're Star Wars fan and still didn't play this one think again, are you a real fan? All SW fans will appreciate the game but don't expect anything new in this genre. All hail the Dark Lord!

I had my hopes too high for this game.
The concept, of both the gameplay and the story, had a lot of potential. Too bad the gameplay gets repetitive very fast, and the story is almost non-existent during most of the time. The main character being a fool for most of the game doesn't help, and neither do the many bugs in the game engine.

I'd recommend getting this only if you're a big Star Wars fan (the visuals and small bits of plot are great), or if it's on sale. A really good sale :P

Star wars the Force Unleashed while not a perfect game, it's pretty damn fun. The graphics are stunning, gorgeous stages, great character designs, every aspect is just beautiful to the eye. The gameplay is tight, a tad frustrating at spots but there is big fun to be had here. The soundtrack in a word "awesome", the sound effects best ever, and the engaging story line are all worthy of "10" status. Hard to believe, but this games story is even better than "Knights of the old Republic" which says volumes on how great it is, deserving of moving to the big screen, and blows episodes I-III right out of space. I can feel myself wanting to go through this game several times, so replay ability is very good, only time will tell if I'll still be yearning to play though this game a couple dozen of times like I have with both Kotor games over the years. The Force Unleashed is must own game, not just for Star Wars fans, but people who love great games. Buy this game you must!

For all of you Star Wars fans out there, here's a new tale from the epic adventure finally worth telling. You won't need to know much about the newer Star Wars prequel trilogy to enjoy this tale that has more connection with the earlier, more satisfying Star Wars films. The premise is simple: Darth Vader has a new apprentice, one that has been kept hidden from the Emperor, who is helping the Empire wipe out the remaining Jedi. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed answers many of the questions fans have been asking, like how Vader managed to kill off all the Jedi and if the Dark Lord of Sith ever had a pupil. Naturally, you play the role of the apprentice Starkiller, who finds out that his destiny with the Jedi and the Rebel Alliance is more connected than his Master would like. If you've read the comic book, don't worry - the game has elements not in the book. Aside from the storyline though, what would enthrall fans is the game's ability to control the Force, the special ability that is the crux of Star Wars. From Push to Repel to Lightning, the developers have greatly expanded upon the traditional notion of what a wielder of the Force can accomplish. The Force abilities here put those of previous Star Wars games like Jedi Knight to shame. Imagine being able to pick up any object with the Force and toss it at your enemies, or using the Force to split huge trees asunder and crack open hills to send timber and stones falling onto your hapless enemies below. Stormtroopers and other soldiers are more cannon fodder as you trek through the Star Wars universe trying to fulfill your Master's wishes. From the beginning, Starkiller is a full-fledged Sith and it takes him only a few levels to master new abilities like Force Lightning and Repel. Players are then required to string together combo attacks to score points which can be used to increase your abilities. As in role-playing games, you can choose if you want to learn more Force skills or increase the powers of the one you currently have, crafting Starkiller into the super-soldier of your choice. Enemies respawn as well, so you can effectively backtrack and kill more goons to raise your score. You will need all those skills as this game is not easy. Aside from the useless stormtroopers, the other enemies are formidable in that they will regroup and retaliate. However, the battle is hampered by poor, almost non-existent camera controls. Once cornered, there are areas where you cannot shift the camera to see what's going on. In boss battles, for instance, the game automatically pulls back the camera to give a full view of the battlefield but still, no camera controls are given. So imagine my surprise when I brought down trees during my fight with a Jedi, only to have the battle obscured by a tree trunk itself. While the graphics are rich, with each planet looking distinct, fans may not enjoy the audio. The new soundtrack sounds similar to John Williams' original score and the classic sounds of light sabres igniting and lasers going off are spot on. My issue is with the voice acting - hearing someone other than James Earl Jones as Vader just doesn't cut it, even if the game does.
