    Yeah now that i see this review again, it sucks lmao. He's way too picky and some of the things he's picky about is really stupid. This game is pretty awesome.

    Apparently this reviewer is not a Star Wars fan. He blasted this game. He's at least partially right about the frustration with the controls, though. I admit that the only reason I finished this game was so I could see the full story. If I get an Xbox 360, I'm getting this game for it.

    if the graphics were better and the game was compatible with wii motion plus this could be a very good game

    I definitely enjoyed the game more than the reviewer here. Flaws aside, it's just so much fun that it's almost hard to notice in the middle of annihilating a wave of Stormtroopers. The problems the game has aren't THAT bad, sure it's a waggle fest but again I barely noticed in the midst of the awesome action. I use the Force at least as much as the lightsaber anyways, lightning is my favorite. Not to mention the story is simply fantastic. Even if the entire game was a terrible mess (which it isn't) it would still be worth playing just for the story. They need to make a movie, that's all I'm gonna say.

    This review wasn't so good. Repetitive Wii Remote waving? Doing same attacks over and over again? This is a game that gets it's fun from doing a variety of attacks and moves. I'd rate this game a 8.5 because the graphics weren't so good and there are a few times when you do something that you didn't want to do.

    You see, it's not as good as the X-Box 360 version, but how can it be? The DMM and Euphoria is the main thing the game lacked. There was none in the wii version, so there's no real way to compare the two. The dialouge is really bad, but that's only because it was meant to follow the videos from the much better, hiarchy versions. The camera does get annoying, and you do see yourself getting frustrated by the fact that randomly, you can't see where your going, or where you enemy is, especially in closed, small passage ways. Now the lightsaber action is pretty bad, but the force action was able to redeem itself. It's also a very short game, and not near as difficult as the better versions. It also looses it's "wow" about the second to last level, when you can tell that it was just the gamemakers trying to come up with more stuff. But the games redeeming factor is the duel mode. It is so much fun. The review hardly focused anytime explaining the duel mode, and didn't even say if it is good or not. Well it is. You can choose almost every jedi of sith in the starwars saga, and duke it out in some of the most famous places in the saga. Overall, yes the game had many flaws, but this review chewed it up and spit it out. Deffinatly, I would recommed the game to any star wars fan.

    way too harsh, this game is awsome for wii, the limits of the saber controls are the wii's fault i think, and the fact that u can motion ur hand forward to force push is also awsome, this game was entertaining right to the very end, minimal glitches, a bit repetative, and they should have put more than one saber fight in each level.. he was right about the cutscenes tho, during battle, very very annoying

    What a terrible review.

    I am a huge Star Wars Fan and since this did not get released for the PC I will play this game on the Wii.

    i agree with cupdashind.I give it a 9.5.It is cool and fun.I want it so bad.I played the demo and I like it.

  • cupdashind

    this review sucks. i give it a 9 out of 10. the saber combat and force powers don't get old at all. and although the story was only 6 or 7 hours, it was a great story. the only part i didn't like was the no computer controlled opponents in duel mode, and the no level select. those 2 things only brought it down to a 9.

    Got this for my birthday the other day and it really surprised me. From Kevin V's usual crap review, I was expecting it to be at the level of Jedi Outcast II or something.

    Played Psi-Ops just two days before and I can honestly say that if that game deserves an 8.4, this game deserves at least the same (taking the faults of the remote into account).

    Sadly graphics in this game seemed pretty important...it was a game i was never really considering buying for the wii (unless of course the lightsaber fighting was well done) but since it never came out for the pc i'm considering it. ON any console it didn't live up to my expectations I was hoping for something spell binding and new, something that the kyle katarn series did when it came out, but nothing to good. It was fun but nothing special. Rent it or buy it after a price drop, and sadly (as i'm very much a nintendo fan boy) buy it for another system if you can

    senpepe, where did you dig up that analysis. "Nintendo wont give up the secrets of the wii"???? You mean the fact that its similar in most ways to a gamecube with motion sensing for $250?

    Its so much fun...nothing beats using the Wii-remote and nunchuck to smack up some storm troopers

  • NoSkillzGaming

    Posted Sep 28, 2008 6:52 pm PT

    The wii version of this game is slightly below decent and the Ps3/Xbox 360 version is really good.

  • Cerberus-

    Posted Sep 26, 2008 8:52 am PT

    It needs the new attachment they are making for the remote to make it more acurate. The wii isnt accurate enough in 3d movements to get everything out of a game like this without that attachment

    i got this game off the i-net today off toys r us.is it good?

    I've played a little bit of the game at a friends house, and I can say that the wii version of the force unleashed is easily the most disappointing game this year.

    WII multi are kinda being down,FLOP

    Kevin V., if I wanted to read your opinion I could check your blog. Who gave you permission to write reviews?

    All readers: this game is WAY more fun than this guy lets on! I love the Force powers and character customization options. It's so fun just throwing stuff around and destroying the Empire's nice, clean hallways! Yeah! Get it now.

    It doesn't look bad at all...

  • Recanter

    Posted Sep 22, 2008 9:05 am PT

    Plagued by the same problem as when they did Rock Star's Table Tennis on Wii. The Wii just doesn't have the hardware to detect complex motion... yet! Tried to do too much here, but on the Wii 2, it would be a blast!

    Yeah guess what BladeStrike, in one or two years, so are the other two, dimwit.

  • quintoncannatac

    This is the power of the Wii, ladies and gentlemen. I give it about one more year before it's finally dead. The controller gimmick can't help it anymore. By the way, can anyone guess the name of Nintendo's next console? The first person with a right answer gets a cookie!
