Lots of Fun to Play,
by Voyager33, 2009-01-03

I've had this game for a couple of months, and still I'm addicted to it. There are so many ways to kill a storm trooper, its like a drug. If you're feeling like doing it the simple (boring) way, you can use your lightsaber a few times to slash through their armor. Or, as the game implies, you can "unleash" your force powers. You can strike your foe with a barrage of lighting, pick him up and choke him to death, use repulse to knock over your opponents nearby, throw your lightsaber, or simply pick up one foe and push him into another, killing both.

Although I feel as if I'm missing something by not owning the console version, such as more powerful graphics and more explanation of the story line, this game still has a powerful tale. Although many reviews mention slow loading times (and trust me, there are), I find that it doesn't take away from the overall experience. So what if there's a wait? Its fun all the same to pick up enemies on certain levels, tilt the joystick in the right direction, and then release them while they fall to their death.

While the game is challenging, neither is it impossible. The hardest part about killing the bosses at the end of each level is the time it takes. They have just as much health as you, if not more.

So, if you're looking for some portable entertainment, I would definitely recommend this game.

Great and Awsome Star Wars fun For the PSP,
by kelli miller, 2009-01-02

This game is great for the PSP. The game has 2 storylines, but you dont choose the one you want to play. The 1st time you do the story you do the more true one, they are both excacly the same except the end, the 1st one is, when you defeat vader (not kill) you push him into the emporers place then you fight the emporer and defeat him (not kill) the apprentice (the player) has the emporer at saber point. Then the pilot of the rogue shadow(love intrest) busts in and lands and saves everyone then the apprentice leaves the emporer but when he is about to go into the rogue shadow the emporer kills him. Then it shows the birth of the rebellion. The second one I really hate he kills vader and when the pilot bursts in the emporer throws the ship down and it explodes and everyone dies except the emporer so then emporer takes the apprentice and then turns him into this sick version of vader and the emporer tells him that the rest of his life is going to suck. That is why I gave it 4 stars in total.

STAR WARS THE FORCE UNLEASHED,
by ALEMAC, 2008-12-30

ESTE ES UN REGALO DE NAVIDAD ES UN JUEGO MUY DIFICIL PERO NO SOLO HAY QUE PELEAR CON LOS JEDI TANBIEN TIENES QUE USAR LA FUERSA Y USAR LA MENTE EN TODOS LOS NIVELES Y TODOS LOS QUE VAYAN A COMPRAR ESTE JUEGO HAY QUE PENSARLO BIEN...ME LO REGALO SANTA,YO TENGO 7 AÑOS Y ME GUSTA MUCHO LAS GUERRAS DE LAS GALAXIAS.

Feel the force,
by Samuel B. White, 2008-12-28

The lightsaber combat is excellent , but the best part of the game is the force . In other games you simply use the force to open doors and to move small rocks . In this game , you can pick up whole statues and throw them at hundreds of miles per hour . you must buy this game .

CAMERA LACKS. OVERALL, GREAT GAME,
by jebandpooky, 2008-12-06

I can honestly say the camera is my biggest beef. Other than, that I think it is great - Crisis Core and Chains of Olympus in one.

I believe the Star Wars franchise has been milked enough. It is through games like Force Unleashed that it will continue live on.

Another reason I like FUL, is you can use force powers. Also, this game would have been great if it had the CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE feel to it, meaning you decide at certain points the out come of the game for unlimited endings.

This is Star Wars. Take advantage of the video game universe.

There are still a lot of unanswered questions - LIKE THE WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, AND WHY OF THE TRUE ORIGIN OF "THE FORCE" ITSELF, NOT THE ONES WHO HAS AND USES IT.

I hope CRISIS CORE, CHAINS OF OLYMPUS, AND FORCE UNLEASHED GIVES THE "FFVII REMAKE" SOME INSPIRATION.
