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. There are 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.
Decisions made by players throughout the game will determine the path of the story, including multiple endings that will rock Star Wars continuity as they know it. 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.

So so
- Pros: If you're a star wars fans, its pretty cool. The different lightsabre colors and stuff is cool, but pain in the behind to get them all.
- Cons: Very short. Took 1 day to beat (around 8 hours). The expectations for this game were so much higher any everything. There's a really annoying level with the destroying the tiefighters and bringing down the star destroyer. Camera angles are pretty annoying sometimes.
- Other Thoughts: Could of been better and longer. If it was as long as metal gear solid4, then it would of been better! Overall game would get C+. Rent it, you can beat it within the rent time.
- Pros: It's always exciting to have a new star wars game and this one delivers on the eye candy. I haven't seen Jar Jar yet.
- Cons: Controls ruin this game. Everything is unresponsive, you can't aim consistently and the camera moves very slowly.
If you chop a stormtrooper 9 times with a lightsaber it seems like there should be some dismemberment. I'm not looking for a blood bath but the arms could at least fall off like they did in JK2 Outcast (a game the developers of Force Unleashed have obviously never heard of).
- Other Thoughts: I was hoping for a Jedi Knight game. Where's the PC version?

It's ok...
- Pros: Graphics, Story line, USE THE FORCE =)
- Cons: Well like someone mention before, i hate the loading time every time you have to do upgrades, the story line is good, but game is too short, they should've polish the game little more, the game looks good but controllers aren't that great, every time you try to lock into something to use your force powers and trow people or stuff away you always lock into something else, can get really frustrating, and even more if you are trying to grap a flying Tie fighter c'mon they could've done better with that... Also AI is not great, storm troopers are STUPID, they just stay there waiting for you to kill them there is a lot of this game that has no place being here... HELLO why they have to use a life system worth of a game from the 90's? what happen to run away and get you health repealed by itself? that would've been nice...
- Other Thoughts: This game is ok, but lucas arts offers a lot and failed to deliver not too nice!... They had the right idea with the game, i liked the story and the way it links with the movies, but good story line with mediocre game play is not that great... good try tho! JUST RENT IT FIRST (lucky my i got it really cheap in a auction website =) ) its funny how lego star wars is way better than this =(
Sweet.
- Pros: Game is better then i expected.
- Cons: Not a one.
Great game that could use a few small improvements
- Pros: The storyline is intriguing and interesting from the start. Controls were moderately easy to use and had a wide selection of moves, combos, and force powers. Pretty cool selection of light saber collection (even though I only stuck with one), as well as costumes. I liked the upgrade mechanics behind the game, but the upgrade screen should have been cashed so you don't have to load it every time you want to upgrade (if you play the game you'll understand). The storyline, to me, was the best part about the game and even though the game was short, the overall experience was pretty good. Also some of the finishing moves were pretty cool.
- Cons: It could definitely use some improvements. To me the most obvious are the graphics. Character graphics were a little... odd (not that they were bad, they just looked different somehow). Also the game had a few glitches. I had to physically restart the game twice because I fell down a bottomless pit and was supposed to die, but for some reason didn't. Also the reaction time on some of his moves was frustrating. You'd initiate an attack and sometimes he wouldn't even do anything and other times he would wait 2 or 3 seconds before starting the attack, in my opinion, poor programming. As others have said the game is short but I played it sparingly and it took me 2-2 1/2 weeks to beat the game. As I said some of the finishing moves are pretty cool, but they get old after a while, they should have made more of them.
- Other Thoughts: For those who complain about how they though this game was going to be a Jedi Outcast game and give it poor ratings because it was not, please read what you are buying. That's like you going out and buying a candy bar and expecting a popsicle. Also for those who complain about no blood please read the rating. If you must have a game that has gore and dismemberment and blood please go buy dead space (I bought that already - AWESOME game).
Overall the game is fun and entertaining that could use some improvements, most could probably be fixed through patches or updates. I'd say a lot of people would probably prefer renting it especially because it is a rather short game.
