The Star Wars saga will continue in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, 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.

As its name implies, The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force. The Wii version will not only give you a solid story-line developed by LucasArts involving the Darth Vader's secret apprentice, but you'll experience a new style of gameplay only the Wii can offer. With the Wiimote and Nunchuck you'll be able to battle your way through your enemies utilizing your Lightsaber attacks and Force powers. Not only can you experience this new control system in story mode, but you can also try your Jedi skills against a friend in the Wii, "Battle Mode." Joining the Dark Side doesn't seem like such a bad idea after all.
Game Features:- 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.
- 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.
- The Wii system's "Battle Mode," a one on one fighting arena simliar to the classic game, Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi.
- Use the Wiimote to slash and pierce your enemies with your Jedi Lightsaber while you use the Wii Nunchuk to disable other opponents with your Force Powers.
- LucasArts is preparing an unprecedented promotional effort around the launch of The Force Unleashed, encompassing a full line of toys and game-based action figures from Hasbro, as well as a full publishing program from Dark Horse, Del Rey and Palace Press.
Meet the Cast
The Star Wars Saga will continue in 2008 with LucasArts' biggest-ever video game event. Set during the "dark times" between Episodes III and IV, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed portrays the previously untold story of Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice -- and now you can put a face to that mysterious character as well as the major supporting cast members as LucasArts unveils the actors set to star in The Force Unleashed. The Technology of The Force Unleashed
With The Force Unleashed, LucasArts not only introduces a new chapter in the Star Wars saga, but also pushes the Wii's game engine to deliver amazing detail and realism only found in a Star Wars title. You will experience gameplay and the Force like you never had before.
Product Description
The next chapter in the Star Wars saga, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, tells the story of Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice, a mysterious figure trained by the menacing Sith Lord, to hunt down the last of the Jedi. Set in the dark times between Episodes III and IV, the story is both a continuation of the prequel trilogy -- exploring the aftermath of Order 66, which called for the immediate execution of all Jedi, and focusing on the continued rise of Darth Vader -- and a direct bridge to the Original Trilogy. The Force Unleashed will forever change the fate of the Galaxy and explain key plot points that directly lead into events in Star Wars: A New Hope. With The Force Unleashed , LucasArts not only introduces a new chapter in the Star Wars saga, but also two completely new and innovative technologies -- Digital Molecular Matter by Pixelux Entertainment and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. These groundbreaking technologies combine with Havoc physics to create true next-gen game play and the Force like it's never been seen or experienced before.

My Grandkids came to town to visit, The Force Unleashed was one of their request. I was able to purchase at a great price, and have it ready to play when they arrived. Simple and cost effective way to be a great Grandpa

I have both the Lego Star Wars and this one I love both. This one is great for the duel mode where you can face off with a friend and just have fun. The game itself is one player only but the graphics are great and it really gets you moving when you are playing. I'm not an excelent gamer so it was difficult enough to make me work at it but not sooo hard I wanted to give up. I recommend this it anyone that likes to spend a night vegging out and playing video games just for fun.

I was really excited about this title. I'm a star wars nerd and what better way to act out childhood fantasies then wielding a plastic control pretending to be a powerful sith.
Unfortunately, this title falls short for several reasons:
1. The graphics are horrible. I have played plenty of games on the wii, some look amazing like Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros Brawl. Force Unleashed has very bad polygon rendering and at times reminded me of past games on N64! The presentation is just poor; this is not because of the Wii, plenty of games look great on the Wii - this is just a bad port.
2. There are a lot of combos you can learn for fighting with the light saber. However, they require voodoo like memorization to pull off. I can remember button sequences really easily (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a) but trying to remember A, wiimote forward, nunchuck up, Z, Z, wiimote left to right, nunchuck down C - that's more than I bargained for. As a result, I tended to use the force powers instead of melee combat. I think the force powers were way over powered, especially force lighting with force push. The game lost its challenge with using these powers.
3. The game was supposed to tout a highly specialized physics engine and AI decision engine. There were supposed to be all these interactions with the environment and enemies would react to the environment differently each time. What was actually delivered was a couple boxes scattered throughout each room that you can force grab to throw at enemies to instantly kill them. Some wall panels could come off but that was about it. The environment interaction was just not there.
I'm giving this three stars because it is always fun to play as a jedi/sith, even if the rest of the game is lame. Fans of star wars will appreciate the game a little more than indifferent players. Had I not been a fan, I would have given this 2 stars and said to skip it altogether.
Fun gameplay, sup-par story. August 20, 2009

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed delivers as far as fun game play. The light saber combat and the force powers actually felt fun to use with the Wiimote - pushing stuff out of the way with a flick of the nunchuck felt like a natural movement. Of course, gameplay can't account for everything - in a game that focuses heavily on story, the quality of the story is important. In this, Force Unleashed felt like it was lacking a great deal. The voice acting was terrible and the story felt like it was written with the same quality as Episode I. Die-hard Star Wars fans have already purchased this games, so I don't need to warn them to brace themselves for the apprentice's painful dialogue. For the rest of you, consider yourselves warned.
