The Force Unleashed Star Wars Game

For anyone who loves Star Wars, you are going to enjoy The Force Unleashed, the great new Star Wars game. I downloaded the demo on the PS3 last night and really enjoyed it, so a visit to Amazon now beckons in order to have the game for a session on Friday night.

Star Wars - The Force Unleashed

Long story short; there are still some Jedi in the midst even after The Emperor and Darth Vader thought they had eliminated them in Episode 3. The twist comes in the form of Darth Vader’s secret apprentice who has to remain anonymous to The Emperor.

The force you can yield is immensely powerful and you can kill people in all manner of ways including some effective force blasting and lightning.

I took great delight in splitting an AT-ST in half with the controller combo, and now I want to destroy more!

The only slight concern is this. In Star Wars Episode IV, Luke Skywalker discovered his power and learnt to use ‘The Force’. But given the sheer ferocity of Darth Vader, the mindful insight of The Emperor and the unbelievable skills of Darth Vaders apprentice, you have to say that Luke was a crap Jedi with little or no skill. I mean FFS, he could not accomplish simple tasks set by Grand Master Yoda.

Back to the game, the demo was good enough to warrant me wanting to spend some cash in gaining the full game.

MrBlack, will be getting this on his Shedbox 360, where as I will be getting the PS3 version to kick some Jedi ass, who cares? It’s a great looking game, buy it and may the force be with you! And a note to all the benders of the world, no you cannot bum an Ewok in the game!

Like yourself, I was wowed by the demo and pre-ordered my copy as soon as I finished it.
I will be getting it on my SexBox 360, and thanks to Game, they deliver the pre-orders the day before they are meant to be released to I’ll be slashing some Jedi on Thursday :)

You are one sad person. I’ve never read such a load of shite in all my life. Why don’t you get a life and do something useful instead of pissing about with such triva. This is the sort of thing I would expect from a braindamaged demented 6 year old half-wit monkey! ‘Don’t forget I am Jedi’. Not you’re not. You are stupid cretin with a peasize brain.

The bloke who played c-3P0 (Anthony Daniels?) use to live opposite me…a right miserable git! Always knocking on the door to complain about the local pub being too noisey or the bins being overfilled. I told him I’d only support his anti - pub campaign if he came round for tea dressed as the bledding robot! Suprisingly never saw him again!

A note to John Williams - the sit at home in the dark room with his radio equipment person.

You were obviously beaten as a child and subsequently cannot accept anyone having fun. Yes I like Star Wars, yes I use my PS3 to play the odd game, so what? It’s a social thing you twerp.

Am I jealous because you sit at home playing with your little knobs? No

Are you a twat? Yes

Do you have a stupid beard and look like a paedophile? Yes

You talk about reading shite, perhaps you ought to get your own blog in order before having a go at me.

As for the Jedi part, did you lose your sense of humour when your arse was battered by your step-father?

For anyone wanting to see what Sarah’s law is trying to protect children from have a look at the scary picture on http://adecentchap.blogspot.com/

Let’s not forget the fact you are ginger - my god, I’m surprised you have the nerve to go out, did you not read what I said about your kind, you are a freak of nature. Feel free to read my trivial rant on the subject of your malformed hair colour - http://www.mrcrip.com/blog/ginger-people-does-the-world-need-them/

May the abuse by with you!

360 version and ps3 version are exactly the same although I may add this:

Unlucky to all you ps3 fans who bought gta4, the new 360 only packs are coming soon so we can carry on playing more missions and use more weapons etc. Bring on star wars exclusive content.

But seriously bring on friday so both 360 and ps3 users can kick both rebel and imperial ass!

Re your answer to John “Ginger” Williams. Be very careful what you say to him. Who knows, one of these dark nights he might come round and slash the tyres on your wheelchair and paint Jedi symbols all over it!

I’ve never been into computer games, consoles etc., they have just never appealed to me except for one. I’ve always wanted a Flight Simulator, but every one I look at you seem to be at war with someone, and spend all your time dodging the enemy and getting shot down! I want one where you can just fly around and look at the scenery. Ithink the Microsoft Flight Simulator combined with Google Earth would be ideal.

Being a poor “old age pensioner” (Yes, we DO exist!) I cannot afford the price that Bill Gates is asking for his program. *sob*

Live long and prosper! (Oh sorry, wrong sci-fi)
