Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
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.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Reviews
Had to take it away for a while due to him beginning to get a bit of tendonitis. My 7 year old loves this game.
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. I got this game for my husband and he seemed to really enjoy it. You play Darth Vader's apprentice and go around beating up everything in sight. 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.
I just have to get one of my own now so i can practice when they aren't looking. They already have the game on Xbox, but it only offers it as one player. It is good times for us all. They LOVE the game. They end up embarassing properly everytime we get the chance to join in. The Wii offers dual players, different levels from the xbox (which i was relieved to see), and light saber battles. I bought this game for my brother and his two boys, ages 7 and 9.
It becomes very repetitive and the opponents don't get much more challenging as you acquire greater skills. The game itself is fun, however, the longer you play the less game it is and more of a movie. We have a lot of fun with the dueling lightsabers.
However, my teenage boys loved the lightsaber movements and sounds which gave it a more "realistic" atmosphere. Don't rush thru and it will be much more enjoyable. We made it completely thru the game in just a couple of days with periodic playing. Lots of fun to play with or without the lightsabers. 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. Explore along the way.
