Star Wars hasn't been known for having great video games. Knights of the Old Republic was my favorite title, but The Force Unleashed is better. Previous games hadn't had been able to capture fun use of the force, which is the coolest part of the series. This is the first Star Wars game where I actually felt the force. As an apprentice to Darth Vader, you learn how to control the dark side of the force. When you begin, you can use the force to lift objects and enemies, but as the game progresses, you will be able to choke enemies, shock enemies with lightning, and take out vehicles with a simple force push. Watching your enemies get eliminated by the force is incredibly fun, and it never gets old. The lightsaber combat in this game is very simple, and pretty boring, so you'll most likely be killing enemies with the force rather than with your lightsaber. Despite the fun gameplay, The Force Unleashed has an awful plot. It is unclear what the main character's relationships are with others and the plot isn't explained or built up very well. Although this game may have a lame plot, any Star Wars fans will love this title. It perfectly demonstrates the power of the force, and how much fun it is to use it.
