DESCRIPTION

The movie series may be over, but the saga lives on with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. The storyline takes place between films Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, with the Galactic Empire nearing the peak of its far-reaching power. You are none other than Darth Vader's secret apprentice, engaging in covert missions to defeat those with designs on dismantling the Imperial regime. The Wii version of the game includes motion-sensing lightsaber controls and an exclusive Duel Mode. The latter is a head-to-head battle with a choice of characters in a variety of arena-style environments set in familiar locales from the futuristic franchise. As in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions, the action is viewed from a third-person perspective with the apprentice holding his red lightsaber behind his back.

The protagonist will travel to various worlds in his relentless search for the few remaining Jedi who escaped Order 66. Featured locales include a TIE Fighter construction facility, the Wookiee home of Kashyyyk, a junkyard-like realm known as Raxus Prime, and a fungus-infested planet called Felucia. Each features groups of enemies that must be eliminated in stylish fashion, with Force power combos earning players experience points to customize their character. Accompanying the lead character at various points is a prototype "holodroid" called Proxy as well as a blond Imperial pilot named Juno Eclipse. The Sith Lord's apprentice faces several deadly foes throughout his mission, including Maris Brood, a Zabrak warrior bent on revenge, and the primary target: grizzled General Rahm Kota, who learned the ways of the Force under the tutelage of Mace Windu and Yoda. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“Other console versions do indeed look better yes, but I can't help but think other console players missed out here. So many overpowered force abilities that at times I giggled; nothing better than a force grip followed by a waggle to get all those...”

“Played a bit more of this, the graphics in this game freak me out because the character models are pushed to the limit, and still look a little freakish on the poor little Wii. The control gimicks...”

“Coolest use of Force powers and direct input control ever. Nothing better than thrusting my arm forward to really push some stormtrooper off a balcony.”

“Short but sweet. When I reached the end of the game, I felt like I wanted to keep on playing - a few more levels wouldn't have gone a miss at all. Other than that, great controls and outstanding graphics for the Wii. Don't be drawn in by the battle ”
