Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Wii)

OK, I want to get one thing out of the way. If you own a PS3 or an Xbox 360 as well as a wii, get it for the HD console. Why? I'll tell you. The Force Unleashed suffers for the wii, mainly due to the fact it just looks a whole lot worse than its HD competition. If you play the PS3 or 360 version you're not going to want to touch the wii version. Now I know what you're thinking; surely the wii version will be good 'cos its got motion control. I've always wanted to swing a lightsaber around in a video game! Trust me, if you've heard the term 'waggle' before you'll know why I hate the controls. They're not terrible and the lightsaber controls are better than ...  Read the complete review

You're cast as Galen Marek, aka Starkiller, Darth Vader's secret apprentice. The Clone Wars have ended, and as Starkiller, Vader orders you to hunt and destroy the last of the remaining Jedi. The story is brief (expect to finish the campaign in less than six hours), but it contains multiple twists, features some friendly and not-so-friendly faces, and is both explosive and remarkably intimate. You'll interact with Vader, of course, but Starkiller spends most of his time with an android called PROXY and his female pilot, Juno Eclipse. Sharing the details of the trio's adventures would spoil too much, so suffice it to say, you'll grow remarkably fond of Starkiller and his ...  Read the complete review

First of all I'm not a big video-game person. I've had various consoles in the past but other people seem to be a lot more into them than I've been. So I don't know too much about consoles and stuff but I do know I liked this game a lot. Currently I only have a Wii and I hardly ever play it but being a bit of a Star Wars fan I thought the idea of swinging your Wii remote about like a light sabre and throwing people about with the force was too good to resist. The Game Story When this film starts off if you're a Star Wars fan it's sheer bliss. At first you get the usual crawl of text summing up what's going on in the galaxy. You then step off a ...  Read the complete review

Everyone couldn't wait for a proper Star Wars game to come out on the Wii. As soon as the Wii came out, all Star Wars fans had that idea in there head of using the Wii-Mote as a lightsaber - and it finally happened. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is set between the 3rd and 4th film, bridging the gap between the old and the new films. Unlike most games, YOU are on the dark side throughout the first areas of the game. To add to that, you start as the great "Darth" himself so you can learn how to play. Surly this all HAS to be good? All in all the game isn't bad. The story is reasonably good and has a very nice twist at the end but it is very ...  Read the complete review

Like any good geek I am a huge Star Wars fan and was eagerly awaiting the release of Force Unleashed for the Wii. What can go wrong: A fantastic universe already created with a huge fan base and a massive nostalgia factor on top of the ability to interact with aspects of the world created in some fantastic movies. So your telling me I can wave my Wii remote and its like a lightsaber, and I can gesture around with my hands and use force powers? Hold the pints guys I wont be out for a while. Except unfortunately somehow the force unleashed fails to unleash the excitable geek inside me. I spent a few levels giggling to myself at the ...  Read the complete review
