The Force Unleashed Gameplay and Trailer
July 15th 2008 01:55
We've talked about The Force Unleashed before... it's the latest game from LucasArts, George Lucas' game studio, a Star Wars-themed game that allows you to step into the shoes of a Sith apprentice and wreak Force havoc on the universe.
Much talk has been made of the game, as LucasArts has developed an incredible physics engine to allow the player to interact with the environment. Check out this trailer:
You'll be able to play it on a variety of platforms, but the big consoles, XBox360 and PS3, will showcase the super-huge effects and destruction... the Wii version is downscaled somewhat.
Wired magazine has an interesting gameplay review, describing the action in the game.
"Of course, you've got plenty of other options. You can engage every enemy with your lightsaber or Force-push them away. This move can be charged up to unleash even greater destructive power -- at one point, the Lucas rep told me to stand in front of a massive covered bridge filled with Wookiees and charge up a Force push. I did, and the resultant wave of blue energy went straight down the bridge, flinging Chewbaccas into the ravine on either side and ruining the entire top of the structure. There's quite a bit of scenery that you cannot destroy, and for good reason: You can't ruin the bridge and make it impossible for yourself to get across and finish the level, for example."
Of course, Star Wars fans are up and excited for this. Finally, we get to destroy things with the powers of the Dark Side! Finally, we will get our revenge!
