Stephen Totilo OF MTV Multiplayer writes: "If you've played the downloadable Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 demo of "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" you haven't experienced what the game is really like to play. Consider this a head's up from MTV Multiplayer, where we've played the full game, that the "SW:TFU" demo is a bit misleading..."
DailyGame: As you read in our review, The Force Unleashed's story provides the level of intrigue we were hoping for in the prequels but never got. The narrative is really quite good, and its position as official Star Wars canon really fills in some serious holes. There is a bit of a non-canon Easter Egg, though, and it's a doozy.

Is the force with you? On September 15, in a galaxy not so far away, national video game retailer, Game Crazy, is celebrating the release of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed with Midnight launch costume parties (8:00 p.m. – 1:00 a.m.).
GameTrailers has announced that they have launched their new Star Wars: The Force Unleashed launch center. Interested gamers can also head to the launch center to see a variety of game videos and the previously released retrospectives.
Playstation Blog: The game is finally done, after several years of hard work by an incredibly talented team, and I can now just enjoy playing the game and begin to reflect on the experience of building it. When I do look back on the development effort, I'm amazed and humbled by the fact that we actually managed to finish the game. As the first internally-developed title from LucasArts in quite some time, we bit off several huge challenges, including: building a brand new game engine and tools from scratch for two new (at the time we started, anyway) platforms (including PlayStation 3); crafting a new story that bridges the gap between the two Star Wars trilogies; assembling a new team that had never worked together before; and integrating new and cutting-edge simulation-based technologies. Along the way, we also formed a new and unique partnership with our sister company Industrial Light & Magic, and worked closely with Krome Studios in Australia on the PS2 and PSP versions of the game.
TGR - "While we don't yet know when the next batch of consoles will be released, we do know that all three companies are already hard at work on the next-next generation, and as a result they're in the market for parts. According to recent reports, Intel has been wooing Microsoft in order to get its Larrabee chipset into the new Xbox 720. The company is eager to get a console deal (they are also reportedly in talks with Sony) so they can compete with other major manufacturers and drum up interest in Intel-powered PCs amongst the gamer crowd."
It would be hard to find a game more heavily hyped than The Force unleashed, but reviewers are saying it's easy to find better games.
