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 Nunchuk 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 home world 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 Teraes Kaesi.
- 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.
Meet the Cast

Could have been so much more January 5, 2009
Mr. R. Cowley
I was hoping for a game like the old jedi knight series on the pc (outcast and academy) something where the force was a tool as well as a weapon. A game where finding routes through the levels required a little thought and some problem solving. Instead we have a game thats a little too easy to simply hack and slash your way through without really engaging your brain beyond finding interesting ways of finishing people off. Its fun - but it could have been so much more
 For me the best game for wii December 30, 2008
Jorge A. S. Mendes (Funchal, Madeira Portugal)
We have several games for wii, and this one is great !
The only thing that we are sad about is that it doesent have a cooperative mode.
For us, a must buy game for wii, you will be surprised with the graphics and it's very fun to play with the wii comand.
fun to play but its far too short and way too easy December 27, 2008
Sam (South England)
I was looking forward to this game ever since I heard about the new twist of playing as Darth Vaders apprentice. I was quite pleased with the game as I began to play but unfortunately it was overhyped and ended up being slightly disappointing.
The story was decent and the voice acting was well done, the gameplay was fun to begin with but after a while it did become very repetative- there really is no serious thinking involved in this game, mainly just a hack and slash with a saber. I wouldn't have minded this but the level of difficulty on the game is far too easy, even on the higher difficulty levels its not difficult to beat the game which left me wanting a lot more of a challenge.
Also I was dissappointed with the length of the game. I found it very short and completed the game in less than a week without playing it in excess. This may have had something to do with the level of difficulty but its my feeling that if they had put in a couple of tricky puzzles the game would have lasted a lot longer.
Having said all that, the game is enjoyable to play, the wii offers a great feeling of being in control and its always satisfying when you manage to cut down a wave of enemies with a blast of lightning.
Overall an enjoyable game but it was too short and too easy
 Disapointing December 7, 2008

It for 4 year olds!
far too easy and absolutley annoying becuase it does not save to where you were..... it saves to the beggining of that level...
This is so annoying that I did even bother finishing the game!
Was a little dubious......however not a bad game December 4, 2008

I read some of the reviews and was a little unsure about this... however its not a bad game. playability is quite easy - nothing too challenging. Some of the force moves are good but you do feel like the wiimote it not fully syncronised with the light sabre moves you expect to see when swinging the wiimote. Worth a play though... could have been a lot better!
