The Bottom Line:
"Worth playing"
Well for the most part everyone knows alot about the game, so Im not going into assive amounts of Detail.
For Starters to me this game is very worthy of being Cannon to the rest of the Star Wars films it ties everything together really nicely and introduces new characters which have become some of my favorite's.

The game itself is just a blast to play on the lower difficulties especially which is one the reasons its so much fun to play you really feel like a Jedi on Steroids, its when you bump up to Sith Lord then Sith Master the game gets drastically harder but still enjoyable.

Now the things keeping this game from a perfect 10 are there. Most notably the many glitches I myself have run into and from reading through the forumns Im not the only one, mainly the Defualt Text Glitch is the main enemy. THis glitch will stop tracking your progress through levels(i.e.The amount of force points you get from a level, Holocrons you goteen in levels, an your bonus objectives) which is a real pain since the only way to fix it is t start a all new file. Another glitch Ive run into is where enemies will just become impervious to my lightsaber so far its only happened when facing a regular old stormtrooper while not as bad as the above glitch its just annoying.

The last few things that keep it down the lenght of the single player campaign just feels to short I think I few more missions thrown in would have made it just the right length, and in my personal opinion the games could have done with a few more Force Powers.

Lastly, I know alot of reviews have compline about the Infamous Star Destroyer Battle but after playing through the game quite a few times I honestly do not see what they are complaining about so far the only I died during that fight was because I jumped of the Ledge by accident, though I will say it could have been done a bit better.

Well this is my review for Star Wars-The Force Unleashed hope you enjoyed.
