    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 by taking full advantage of newly developed technologies that will be seen and experienced for the first time: Digital Molecular Matter (DMM), by Pixelux Entertainment, and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. Paired with the powerful Havok Physics™ system, these new technologies create gameplay only possible on the new generation of consoles. DMM incorporates the physical properties of anything in the environment so that everything reacts exactly like it should - wood breaks like wood, glass shatters like glass, plants on the planet Felucia bend like plants on the planet Felucia would, and more. Meanwhile, as a revolutionary behavioural-simulation engine, euphoria enables interactive characters to move, act and even think like actual human beings, adapting their behaviour on the fly and resulting in a different payoff every single time.


    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 Force Unleashed is LucasArts' first internally developed title for next-generation consoles, and it represents the first in-game collaboration of talents and technology between LucasArts and Industrial Light & Magic, two companies now finally under one roof at the new Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco's Presidio district.
    • The Force Unleashed debuts Digital Molecular Matter from Pixelux and euphoria behavioral simulation from NaturalMotion Ltd.
    • 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 New Technology of The Force Unleashed
    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 gameplay and the Force like it's never been seen or experienced before.

    5 out of 5 stars present for my son   January 11, 2010

    brought this game for my son as a stocking filler, although he completed it in a day he really enjoys it and keeps going back to it.worth the money.

    5 out of 5 stars A great game   September 16, 2009
    L. Richards (London, England)
    I LOVE this game. I was shocked to see so many bad reviews. One truth that leaped out at me: EVERY bad review mentions how hard the game is. I'm sick to death of the easy, just-click-enough-buttons-and-you're-done games released these days. This game is hard, and as such, getting good at it is extremely satisfying. This was the case in old games, back before games were made for idiots. Have any of you tried playing Donkey Kong? It's brutally hard. I love a game that has the balls to be a challenge, and I assure anyone considering this game that the aforementioned challenge is the primary reason for the negative reviews.

    I held off on this one when it first came out due to mixed reviews, but the fact is, this game is superb. Every level is immersive. You'll fight each boss with your adrenaline pumping, hence the difficulty being a good thing. The story adds far more to the Star Wars universe than the three prequels did, and the development of your character makes battling and leveling a highly rewarding experience. Not only that, but as a Sith you get to take revenge on some of the aweful, cheesy species George Lucas has subjected us to over the years. YOU GET TO SLAUGHTER JAWAS! I must have played that mission twenty times. I'd pay £2000 for a game where you play Darth Vader slaughtering Jar Jar's people. (Thankfully, I forget what they were called.) Bring on a game where you can kill Ewoks! Or perhaps one where you can kill the creators of Phantom Menace...

    Anyone who likes the star wars universe, and is up to a bit of a challenge (or may even *shock* ENJOY a game that takes a 3-digit IQ and a 2-digit age to complete) will love this game.



    5 out of 5 stars One of the best xbox360 games I've played for Under £20   September 8, 2009
    Steveo Stokes (Hampshire, UK)
    One of the best, most addictive games I've played on xbox for some time. Completed it in several evenings, you're thrown straight into the game as Darth Vader and then become his apprentice who turns on the dark side.

    Brilliant game, great cut scenes and a sexy pilot, what more could you want?
