The Force Unleashed is a game that I had meant no background knowledge that you have thrown it too early on the market and it still would take some years to develop. But this is not so. Originally it should appear in 2007 for the 30th anniversary of the saga, but was then on the start and finally moved the end of 2008. And always has been firmly asserted, there would be no PC port. The end of 2009 came the game for Windows; a Mac version is currently in development. Similarly, the "Ultimate Sith Edition" was released in late 2009 for both consoles and shortly thereafter for PC. Below I will devote myself to the first Basispisle "The Force Unleashed":
The positives of the game is really just Starkiller. Let him dismiss some as "Milchbubie" I can not get enough of me by the character. It easily fits into its environment and takes place truly outstanding. I have the first campaign played out on the beginner level. The stormtroopers, Rodian gangster Felucianer or even Jawas, with which you get to do it, are not real opponents and become dangerous only by their mass. However, the boss is not too shabby on the beginner level. Each has its own characteristics and with the classic Haudrauf one can not always the goal. Some places are still to despair. Especially the scene for the game earned so much fame early - to get a Star Destroyer from the atmosphere - is one of the trickiest. You have the power to tear down the destroyer and repeatedly arrive to TIE fighter squadrons, the one fought by the power. You can meet them throw garbage or they collide with other TIEs or can just crash. The imagination knows no limits in the destruction and everything is beautifully staged.
However, the power control allows the player to despair again. I lift a piece of junk and want to throw it to the left (ie, lead appropriate commands), but throws Starkiller the garbage to the right or up or drops it easy. In tricky situations, this has already meant that I had to play the level again. Due to the many storage points that makes but of not much. Another major drawback is the camera, which is also nocht permanently installed just in boss battles and the pitch often indicates in too large angles, so that the figures are barely recognizable. Nevertheless, the game can entertain in many places and just the freedoms as (evil and perverse) can impale his enemies, leaving a through hours of fun have. Throwing, squeezing, stabbing, sizzle ... to name just a few verbs.
In addition to the game there is the possibility to display the unlocked Zwischensquenzen separately, once you've unlocked them. When the German sound track I do not recommend this, however. Very interesting is also the lexicon, where you can look up everything about the characters, vehicles and planets that appear in the game. The lexicon is very detailed and factually correct. I have certainly discovered the canon no contradictory statements. Very funny are the tools with which you can change the color of his lightsaber and the Costume Gallery. You can select all unlocked costumes and fight so for example in the outfit on the Death Star, the Star Killer wore on Bespin, and the like. In addition, other costumes like a Republic Commando, Count Dooku, Luke Skywalker, Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Ben Kenobi, or even C-3PO are offered.
So much for the basic program. The "Ultimate Sith Edition" vary according to the equipment hardly from the original game. One has only the opportunity to play through three new levels. A mission in the Jedi Temple, which is part of the original game and two missions, justify the "Sith" in the title. Because there will be further spun the unkanonische evil end. Lord Starkiller has taken the place of Darth Vader and the Jedi hunts. In two missions to play the events on Tatooine from Episode IV and Episode V on Hoth from after, but with a completely different outcome. The spun here Ideas compensate the disappointing implementation of the potency rich basic story from The Force Unleashed. The possible implications arising from the events of these two missions, could have changed the Star Wars galaxy forever.
Otherwise there is not much to say except that even a sequel was announced for the game. But what "The Force Unleashed II" brings, is still in the stars ...
