Star Wars for me has always been for me one of the games I'd play the most of, ever since one of the first computer games I have loved the excitement I get out of Star Wars games. Star Wars The Force Unleashed is the next in the series and for me this game shows how much Star Wars has grown in the development of their games.
The storyline of Star Wars the Force Unleashed is much more focused on running throughout the game rather than drifting of and coming back which I have felt before with previous games. The force unleashed has levels building on the storyline making the gameplay not so much addictive but gives a feel of involvement, I felt part of the world, the fighting between worlds, infact everything star wars has to offer in the films... Which is one of the main aspect of this game, space games like Star Wars should make you involved with the fantasy, for example the force powers are so realistic and involving, you feel in control of the game, its not a simple press x and go there and do this, you have to build the story and work out what, how and where to do it. Brilliant!

Obviously in the Force Unleashed you are the bad guy, (as stated above to keep in touch with the story), but for me this is also on of the 'coolest' aspects of the game, the game makes you really feel like you are a bad guy rather than just going around killing whatever as it builds and plays on the storyline you begin to learn and understand more about what being bad feels like, if you understand what I mean...

I am not saying the game has lost it's simpleness, or lost its excitement in being able to do what you, infact I think if anything this has bettered to previous versions too... The controls are the same to move your character and the other to controls what you see, (a normal ps3 third-person action game). Infact everything is simple, the controls are easy to use and run smoothly, offering lots of actions, fight moves... I am simply stating the gameplay and storyline is much more involved with you.

Overall I think Star Wars games have now come to perfection, as expected with how many released, but Star Wars the Force Unleashed is so much more than that, its a film, a game that involves you, makes you feel part of the Star Wars world. Which is brilliant when considering the exciting gameplay and so many levels that I can no doubt everyone will find superb. So go out and buy the best price Star Wars the force unleashed you can get, I well recommend it!
