Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

[SWMAN]

9 out of 10 Wii games (at least it seems to me) are babyish or for too many people (Ican't always have parties)

That is true, but when it comes to first/third person games on the Wii, they aren't really babyish. I don't think you would consider killing stormtroopers with a lightsaber babyish. Plus, the campaign is single player, so you don't need a party. But, if you have a friend, they were smart enough to had a feature where you could duel each other as Jedi, which no other platform has. I have read some things that say the controls are neat buy get a little old and that there are a few graphic problems, but I am excited about the Wii version. After watching a gameplay review, I feel a little mislead about the graphics and such. You can't just pick up anything to use as a weapon, and you can't really destroy everything either. The people don't react as cool as I though they would, but it still looks like a cool game.

Its the PS3 version way outstanding above the Wii version? Because I can buy the game today for the Wii but for the PS3 I need to wait like 3 weeks until I get the PS3 itself . And I have another question: The Wii version does have good gameplay? or it is lame?

Well, let's say this:

PS3=Good graphics

Wii=Great gameplay

It may seem kiddish, but swinging that 'mote around really is fun!

9/10? Have you ever played the Godfather?

9/10? Have you ever played the Godfather?

Or Red Steel, or No More Heroes, or Call of Duty, or ... ?

Seriously, though, I agree that some/most of the first person games are pretty good. I like Metroid.

I'm gonna get TFU for the Wii today and am pretty excited! The only other options for me would have been PS2 and PSP, both of which would have had about the same graphics as the Wii, but not as great of a gameplay and none of the 5 extra levels or the duel mode. Although the PSP has the Historic Missions, they are probably not as good as the Wii's duel mode. Besides, the PSP is a far too small format for such an epic game.

I get extra Force Powers with my Force Unleashed

(It's a bonus from predording with GAME)

The earliest any member of the public can possible get TFU is tomorrow for the UK!

It seems weird to hear people wondering whether they want to go into town and pick it up when it's not released.

PS3 and Wii both have their strong ponts and weak points (I have both).

However, I must admit I barely ever play on the Wii because more PS3 games take my fancy.

I have a confession to make - I CAN'T STAND freakin' Super Mario!

I would't consider myself to be a "gamer" but I really like TFU for Wii so far. True, the game has its flaws, (graphics, no AI for multiplayer... although there is multiplayer!!) But I'd really recommend it for the amazing controls and storyline. I'm not done with it yet, but I'm really looking forward to the rest of it!

9/10? Brawl alone should knock 8 points off that...

PS The Rancor, I killed you baaad

Has anybody pre-ordered there's and gotten it already. I think it will get here this week, but I still have no tracking number or anything and it says it shipped on Monday and won't arrive until the 30th.

[The Kid]

Hopefully picking this up at lunchtime tomorrow to play it straight after work Looking forward to it, it does indeed look amazing. By the way, I sold Brawl for this. No, it's not sacrilege.

The game came today in the mail, a lot earlier than expected. I just played through the tutorial to get a quick feel for the game. It is awesome so far. The controllers are pretty easy and fun. The tutorial gives the basics of how to do everything from moving to the most powerful force powers. I can't wait to get playing tomorrow night and into the weekend. The one thing that might be a problem is that it seems like there isn't any way to change camera angle in 3rd person view on the Wii without moving the character.

Brawl is only really fun if you have people to play with. I like it, but it is like many Wii games as in it is only a party game. The single player it weak and kind of boring. It is only really fun to play with other people.

I totally agree with you SWMAN, the Super Smash Bros. Brawl is fun but when play with someone I own it but I not usually play it without anyone else. I prefer by far awesome games like Super Mario Galaxy and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (My favorite game in the Wii and second one of my all time favorites (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is my favorite game )).

EDIT: My 400th post, woohoo!

My neighbor got it for PS3, and I played it. It's a good game overall, but it gets boring. Once you play it through the story, you won't want to play it again. I don;t think I'll be getting it for Wii. But flinging around Stromtroopers never loses it's fun.

I disagree that it is a game you won't want to play again. There are two different endings to the game, depending on how you play. Part of the fun will being trying to figure out how to get both of the endings. Once I beat it I won't just sit down and start playing again, but I will definitely hit this game up a bunch. I am also a pretty slow video game player, so it will take me a while. I am finally gonna play the actual game tonight, after getting home last night, finding it at my house, and playing through the tutorial.

On a side note, I am not a big Galaxy fan. I played it and it is a little too confusing for me. One of those games where you can run around everywhere and never figure out what you are supposed to do.

My god this game is awesome

I bought it today and started playing it immediately when I got home, those force powers are amazing

And the graphics are very cool as well

Just one problem

I'm already stuck somewhere

I'm at that garbage planet, I think it's called Raxus Prime, anyway, after you beat the gigantic robot (Junk Titan, I believe) I need to cross some 'chasm' as the game calls it... but I can't figure out how

Could someone help me out with this ?

Greetings,

CF W

Edit: Never mind, I already figured it out

Got it today and loving it so far. It can get a bit repetitive at times, but the Wii controls keep things fresh. Although I'm not usually a fan of QTEs, the ones in TFU so far are intense and quite cinematic. I think if the game keeps up what I've seen so far, it should be awesome.

I disagree that it is a game you won't want to play again. There are five different endings to the game, depending on how you play. Part of the fun will being trying to figure out how to get all of the endings. Once I beat it I won't just sit down and start playing again, but I will definitely hit this game up a bunch. I am also a pretty slow video game player, so it will take me a while. I am finally gonna play the actual game tonight, after getting home last night, finding it at my house, and playing through the tutorial.

Five? I thought there were only two.

I got the game yesterday, been playing it almost nonstop since, and i'm at Imperial Raxus Prime. I hate the Star Destroyer.

You are right. For some reason I thought there were 5. I will fix that in my post.

[Lord Thrawn]

It was over very quickly but luckily you can play through again for max force power by the end.

[hewkii9]

Oh yes, the game was far too short. That room with the Shadow Guard [don't they look like Cylons?] right

before you fight Vader in the Death Star

was awesome though. Black lightsaber's in there on top of the highest laser emitter.

And PROTOTYPE in the insert code place lets you play as Proxy.

[The Rancor]

MANDALORE lets you mplay as Rahm Kota

[SWMAN]

I have a slight problem. I am on Raxus Prime the second time and have made it all the way to the boss. While playing it, for some reason he suddenly disappeared with about half the health left. There was no cut-scene, he was just gone, and I couldn't do anything. I had to start over. Anyone else have this problem. Also, when I save and then go back to that save, it takes me back to the beginning of the level instead of where I saved. How do I get back to where I saved.

You can only start back at the beginning of the level, even if saved. No idea what happened with the boss, though.

That is really dumb. Then, there's no reason to have the save game feature during the game. I wouldn't mind a ton if all of the troops were gone when you started the level again, because I don't really want to have to fight through a hundred storm troopers every time I have to quit and go do something. I have no idea what happened with the boss either. I used one of my force powers, he went flying, and the next thing I knew he was gone and I couldn't find him.

[The Kid]

Odd; the game lets me restart from the last time it saved (i.e. mid-level) when I quit/die. This is on PS3, are you on Wii?

Got it for free with my new XBOX Pro (Thank you, Future Shop!). Haven't started it yet, but my friend beat it in 8.7 hours.
