MTV Multiplayer's Stephen Totilo reports:

"Who should a game creator listen to?

Which criticisms of their game should they most take to heart?

When I interviewed "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" producer Haden Blackman recently about the game's upcoming downloadable content, I asked if we could chat about the reception that game has received. The game has sold more than 1.5 million copies, so it's popular. It's reviews were okay.

The game's story has been widely praised in reviews and among all the gamers who've played it that I've spoken to. Its gameplay hasn't been as broadly well-received, though it has fans as well.

But with the feedback being so mixed, which responses can you trust? This is what Blackman has decided..."

dailygamesnews.com - When we realised this was available we did think, "really... on the N-Gage" but turns out it actually looks pretty sharp for a mobile phone game... The game weighs in at a hefty £8.00 for a mobile game, ouch.

Haden Blackman on the PlayStation Blog writes, "Hello PlayStation Blog readers!

I wanted to take a quick moment to remind everyone about the launch party we're hosting at Best Buy (1717 Harrison St. in San Francisco) tonight. From 7pm to midnight we'll have the game available to play early, tons of great photo opportunities, and a chance to meet the cast and crew. Please stop by and say "hi" if you live in or around San Francisco; we'd love to meet you."

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.

Jeff Rubenstein on Official PlayStation.Blog:

"I'm pretty confident that any gamer with at least a passing interest in the Star Wars universe knows that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is coming to the PLAYSTATION 3, PS2, and PSP this month (September 16th, to be exact).

That's why SCEA is teaming up with LucasArts and Best Buy to mark the midnight release of the game in San Francisco on the night of September 15th - and everyone's invited to the launch party. Beginning at 7pm, the 1717 Harrison St. Best Buy location (that's my hood!) will feature appearances by Sam Witwer (Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice - and main character of the game), as well as a number of other cast members. From the game development side, Executive Producer Haden Blackman and others from LucasArts will be on hand. Attendees will be able to play the full version of the game in advance, and take photos with Star Wars characters."

"Star Wars: The Force Unleashed looks like it will be a good game. An amazing game even. It looks like EB Games Canada agrees, as they have a Gaming Guarantee promotion on their website right now that where they're banking you'll like the game so much, that they are willing to give you full trade-in credit within one week of purchase. As usual, this offer is only given to people who pre-order their copy."

Consider it "Star Wars III and a Half" - complete with a pivotal plot twist. When LucasArts releases "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" on Sept. 16, the video game will serve as George Lucas' official median between 2005's "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" and 1977's "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope." In the game, players become Darth Vader's secret apprentice and use The Force to hunt the remaining Jedi.

Phil Meza reports: "Star Wars The Force Unleashed, LucasArts' first current-gen adventure in the post - Hayden Christensen saga, has been slowly lifting its curtain over the past few months as we've gotten word on a release date and more. The Wii version's Duel Mode has been getting its fair shar of press lately, and the PSP/DS's wi-fi play is sure to notice soon; but the multiplayer component for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions (which was confirmed nearly a year ago), has been on media blackout."

LucasArts is "not shutting the door on PC", despite the lack of a PC version of upcoming Star Wars game The Force Unleashed.

Speaking in an interview with VideoGamer.com last week, Cameron Suey, producer of the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of The Force Unleashed, said that LucasArts wasn't doing a PC version of one of the most anticipated Star Wars games in years because of the vast differences in power of PCs in people's homes.

He said: "The PC being the gaming platform that it is, someone with a $4,000 high-end system would definitely be able to play the Euphoria, the DMM and really technical elements of the game. But someone with a low-end PC would have a watered down experience, they would have to turn all the settings down and it wouldn't be the same game.

"That said we're definitely not out of the PC market. It's just with our choice for this game, with the known quantity for the consoles, and every console is the same with the same processing power, it made sense for us to develop for those consoles."

LucasArts intends to make "less and better" Star Wars games in the future, the company has told VideoGamer.com.

Speaking at a Star Wars: The Force Unleashed event in London last week, Cameron Suey, the producer in charge of the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game, admitted that some Star Wars games "probably weren't up to the quality bar that we would have liked" but that LucasArts was now focused on telling "singular, excellent Star Wars stories with engaging and innovative gameplay and cutting edge technology".
