Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

World renowned franchise Star Wars once again reels out an intense game playing experience. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, takes place between the third film, (Revenge of the Sith), and the fourth film, (A New Hope). It brings a mix of lightsaber duels and mind blowing force abilities that bring out the action, and a plot so dark and intricate that only the creative minds from Lucas Arts could tell it.
The game follows the nameless apprentice of Darth Vader known only as Starkiller. Born from two Jedi knights, (one of whom Vader killed after the events of the third film), Darth Vader takes the young boy from his home and trains him to become a sith apprentice, weilding unimaginable powers. Struggling with his natural born instincts for good and his twisted training for evil, Starkiller is sent out into the universe to hunt down the remaining Jedi who escaped the extermination ordered by Emperor Palpentine in the third film. Along the way, as his powers grow, Starkiller is betrayed, and is left to decide his own path. Will he go down a path for revenge? Or will he choose to help the universe he brought chaos to?
Bringing forth a blend of dark imagery, expansive landscapes unique to each planet the player visits, and hundreds of different moves that blend lightsaber skills and force powers, this game is unlike anything Lucas Arts has ever brought before. I give this game a 10 out of 10, for it's quite unique and unlike anything I've played before, and for all Star Wars fans out there, this game will not disappoint.
