The Star Wars saga will continue in iStar Wars: The Force Unleashed/i, a videogame developed by LucasArts, which casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi - and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.brbrtable align=left width=200 cellpadding=10trtdimg alt="Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Logo" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/logo_SWFU.jpg" border=0 align=topbrsmallcenterbiJoin the Dark Side/i/b/center/small/td/tr/tabletable align=right width=250 cellpadding=10trtdimg alt="You are Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/SWFU_02_sml.jpg" border=1 align=topbrsmallcenterbiYou are Darth Vader's Secret ApprenticebrView larger./i/b/center/small/td/trtrtdimg alt="Use the power of The Force to disable your enemies" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/SWFU_04_sml.jpg" border=1 align=topbrsmallcenterbiUse the Force to disable your enemiesbrView larger./i/b/center/small/td/trtrtdimg alt="Artwork of the Jedi "Maris"" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/SWFU_01_sml.jpg" border=1 align=topbrsmallcenterbiArtwork of the Jedi "Maris"br View larger./i/b/center/small/td/tr/tableAs its name implies, iThe Force Unleashed/i completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force.

 My 7 year old son loves this game. January 7, 2009
My 7 year old loves this game. Had to take it away for a while due to him beginning to get a bit of tendonitis.
 the force unleased! January 6, 2009
You play Darth Vader's apprentice and go around beating up everything in sight. I got this game for my husband and he seemed to really enjoy it. The only problem I had with it was the screen was too dark so it was often hard to see where things were but other than that it was pretty good. Also, two-player mode has some issues - it didnt recognize the second remote which was really annoying but synching the remote with the wii during the character select made it recognize it.
 Good Times January 6, 2009
I bought this game for my brother and his two boys, ages 7 and 9. They end up embarassing properly everytime we get the chance to join in. They LOVE the game. They already have the game on Xbox, but it only offers it as one player. The Wii offers dual players, different levels from the xbox (which i was relieved to see), and light saber battles. It is good times for us all. I just have to get one of my own now so i can practice when they aren't looking.
Fun game January 6, 2009
We have a lot of fun with the dueling lightsabers. The game itself is fun, however, the longer you play the less game it is and more of a movie. It becomes very repetitive and the opponents don't get much more challenging as you acquire greater skills.
Forces Unleashed / played with lightsabers January 6, 2009
Lots of fun to play with or without the lightsabers. However, my teenage boys loved the lightsaber movements and sounds which gave it a more "realistic" atmosphere. We made it completely thru the game in just a couple of days with periodic playing. It was kind of disappointing to be able to make it thru so fast but then started going back thru and realized what all we missed. Don't rush thru and it will be much more enjoyable! Explore along the way!br /br /
