The Star Wars saga takes a dark turn in this third-person actioner, which takes place between the trilogies and casts you as Darth Vader's secret apprentice. This is a powerful story with delicious dark-side moves but has plenty of repetitive, mediocre action.

This is not the game you’re looking for. Yes, it’s a massive shame. We’ve been salivating over The Force Unleashed for two years, as have most of you, but the end product just doesn’t live up to the massive expectations it built up. Well, as a game anyway. ...

When it comes to the Star Wars universe, Haden Blackman is the most knowledgeable man alive (outside of George Lucas, of course). At one point in his career, he was the guy in charge of continuity across every single piece of Star Wars product in existence. Now, LucasArts has tapped his veritable font of wisdom and lore by making him the project lead for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, which takes place during the tumultuous-but-unexplored years between Episodes III and IV.

Okay, put the fanboy hat down for a second and let's be real: in your heart of hearts, you think Luke Skywalker is a whiny pansy with bad hair and Darth Vader is a towering bastion of too-cool badassitude. The good guys? Boring. They use their Jedi powers to do what, exactly? Dress in dingy bathrobes and maybe correct a bad X-wing parking job. They never even mind-control their way into a round of free drinks at the cantina or a hot night with a pair of Twi'lek babes now and then.

Ok I'm a big fan of the Star Wars franchise but dear god man this was a frustrating game. The controls where a mess and the targeting system had a agenda of its own. The story was fantastic and the visuals where stunning. This game was a classic testament to development companies being t hasty to put a title out. As a veteran gamer I'm looking for consistency not a speedy release.

I hate to say this but I found a lot of codes for this game from other websites but mostly from this one and the codes for unlockable skins don't work. The only one that worked is mandalore which allows you to play as general kota. The marajade combo code works but thats about it. this sucks because i would have loved to play as darth maul.
