I downloaded The Force Unleashed demo, to see what the big deal was. The gameplay was fine, and I think I might have been impressed by the physics system had I not seen it in another game. Anyone remember Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspirecy? It had a physics system just like the one in Force Unleashed, except it was better. You could better control object when you threw them and it was just better all around. I guess people didn't remember this game, otherwise people wouldn't have made such a guss about Force Unleashed.

Force Unleased is a bad attempt to re-capture the awesomeness that was Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast. There, I said it.

I'm so happy that someone, other than myself, remembers the game Psi-Ops. It was such a great game, and I do think that TFU is borrowing some elements from the game. It's one of the reasons why I wasn't so impressed by the force powers in the first place; I have already seen something as such been done before.

Psi-Ops was a sweet game. The plot was lame, but the combat was awesome, and yeah, SWFU felt eerily similar. Besides the graphics, FU could have come out three years ago.

There was nothing really wrong with the game, it was just too similar. I wasn't impressed.

I've heard of this game, but have not played it myself. Though I must say that Force Unleash has some impressive physics and particle effects. Bending the metal in the way it does, manipulating enemies, breaking objects and all that looks really good.

With that said, throwing around things takes some getting used to...

Psi ops did not do physics better. you are thinking about the Telekenesis powers. The Physics in psi ops are nowhere near like the physics in TFU. I don't recall bending metal realistically, breaking woods and other materials realistically, and enemies trying to grab on to one another/other objects to save themselves in Psi ops. Psi ops was an awesome game, but you are being unrealistically harsh on TFU. Especially since you only played a dumbed down 10 minute demo.

If anything Psi ops copied Star Wars because Star Wars came out way before Psi ops was even an Idea.

That game was fantastic, so glad I bought it when it came out.

One of the best star wars games - singleplayer and online.

Ever.

I'd be more inclined to say PSi-Ops was "borrowing" elements from the Star Wars movies... which kicked off in 1977(ish).

How can the developers be ripping things off a 4 year old game when they are allowing you to do things we saw in the movies 30 years ago?

Yes, And I'm really pissed that they didn't make a sequel. Instead they made Stranglehold, which was really terrible.Psy Ops was incredibly fun to play, but it ended in a cliffhanger. I wonder why they never finished it?

Man, I loved that game! I still dig it out and reinstall it every now and then. It's hilarious listening to the stormtrooper chatter!
