Star Wars - The Force Unleashed (Wii) Full Review

Hello! This is teh R2D2, with the full SWTFU review.

I finished the game a LOT sooner than I expected, if anyone's wondering why the pre and full reviews are so close together. Anyway, on with the review!

STORY:

The main character is the un-named apprentice of Darth Vader between episodes 3 and 4. While he starts out serving Vader, he slowly betrays him and eventually fights with him. With an original story and a tragic-but-heroic ending, the story is pretty damn good. However, it loses a few marks for one reason... I beat it in SEVEN HOURS and 20 minutes, split among three days. :0! Way too short.

STORY: 7/10

GAMEPLAY:

The gameplay seems good at first. The Wii-remote is used as your lightsaber and the Nunchuck is used to control your force powers. And throwing Wookies of high bridges with the force never gets old :). However, it sometimes gets irritating as you start to feel that the Wii-remote is a bit undersensitive, and the Nunchuck is a bit too sensitive. Also, the creators need to draw the line between "a Large Variety" of Force Powers and "An Excessively insane" amount of Force Powers. You seem to have so many, yet I probably used only half of them more than once or twice. The enemies and landscapes don't really change much throughout the game, and they get boring after a while.

GAMEPLAY: 7/10

MUSIC:

The music is taken pretty much directly from the movies. While it isn't bad, you'd think that they could be a BIT more original.

MUSIC: 8/10

GRAPHICS:

While the Graphics to a good job of animating flinging Storm-Troopers and Force Lighting Storms, the character detail is like that of a PS-2 game. Literally. Its detail is about as good as Star Wars BattleFront 2, for the PS2. They could be more detailed, me thinks.

GRAPHICS: 7/10

OVERALL:

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a C+ Game, nice if you want some mindless lightsaber-swinging action. However, don't expect it to be a 24-hour Epic, or a challenging game.

OVERALL: 7.25/10 - meh...

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Wii) Pre-Review

Hello! R2D2 here!

I recently got Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for the Nintendo Wii. So far the game is okay. Here are my draft - rough copy thoughts on the game so far.

Story - The story looks good so far. A bit corny at times, but good. (I will say what the story actually is in the full review :))

Gameplay - Good gameplay at first, but it gets a bit drab. Also, the Wii Remote (Used as your lightsaber) is somewhat unresponsive at times. Force powers are cool, though.

Music - Music taken straight from the movies, so I can`t really complain.

Graphics - Meh. Could be better.

That`s the quick idea of it. Much more detail in the full review, coming soon!
