Product Description The Star Wars saga will continue in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, a videogame developed by LucasArts, which casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy.
Amazon.co.uk The Star Wars saga will continue in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, a videogame developed by LucasArts, which casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi - and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.
 Join the Dark Side |
 You are Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice View larger. |  Use The Force to disable your enemies View larger. |  Artwork of the Jedi "Maris" View larger. | As its name implies, The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force by taking full advantage of newly developed technologies that will be seen and experienced for the first time: Digital Molecular Matter (DMM), by Pixelux Entertainment, and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. Paired with the powerful Havok Physics system, these new technologies create gameplay only possible on the new generation of consoles. DMM incorporates the physical properties of anything in the environment so that everything reacts exactly like it should - wood breaks like wood, glass shatters like glass, plants on the planet Felucia bend like plants on the planet Felucia would, and more. Meanwhile, as a revolutionary behavioural-simulation engine, euphoria enables interactive characters to move, act and even think like actual human beings, adapting their behaviour on the fly and resulting in a different payoff every single time.
Game Features:- During the period between Episodes III and IV, players hunt Jedi in the role of Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice.
- Unleash and upgrade the Secret Apprentice's four core Force powers - Force push, grip, repulse and lightning - throughout the course of the game, and combine them for ultra-destructive, never-before-seen combos.
- Examples of unleashing the Force in ways never thought possible:
- The Secret Apprentice won't just Force push enemies into walls - he'll Force push enemies through walls.
- The Secret Apprentice won't just Force grip foes to throw them aside - he'll Force grip them in midair, zap them with lightning, then drop them to the ground to explode like a bomb.
- In addition to new adversaries created just for the game, such as fugitive Jedi and Force-sensitive Felucians, players will also confront and associate with familiar faces from the Star Wars films, including Darth Vader.
- Visit locations such as Episode III's Wookiee home world Kashyyyk and the floral Felucia, the junk planet Raxus Prime, plus an Imperial TIE fighter construction facility.
- The Force Unleashed is LucasArts' first internally developed title for next-generation consoles, and it represents the first in-game collaboration of talents and technology between LucasArts and Industrial Light & Magic, two companies now finally under one roof at the new Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco's Presidio district.
- The Force Unleashed debuts Digital Molecular Matter from Pixelux and euphoria behavioural simulation from NaturalMotion Ltd.
- LucasArts is preparing an unprecedented promotional effort around the launch of The Force Unleashed, encompassing a full line of toys and game-based action figures from Hasbro, as well as a full publishing program from Dark Horse, Del Rey and Palace Press.
Meet the Cast The Star Wars Saga will continue in 2008 with LucasArts' biggest-ever video game event. Set during the "dark times" between Episodes III and IV, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed portrays the previously untold story of Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice -- and now you can put a face to that mysterious character as well as the major supporting cast members as LucasArts unveils the actors set to star in The Force Unleashed. The New Technology of The Force Unleashed With The Force Unleashed, LucasArts not only introduces a new chapter in the Star Wars saga, but also two completely new and innovative technologies -- Digital Molecular Matter by Pixelux Entertainment and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. These groundbreaking technologies combine with Havoc physics to create true next-gen gameplay and the Force like it's never been seen or experienced before.

The Force Is Strong With This One October 8, 2008 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I was slightly skeptical about buying this game due to some of the negative reviews saying that it is boring and repetative. But being a huge Star Wars fan I decided to buy it anyway.
As the famous 'A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...' appeared I could feel the excitment building up inside me. It never disappeared, only grew more and more as the game went on! The opening cutscene is absolutley stunning! It completely captures the feel of the Star Wars universe. It's not just the opening cutscene that does this, it's every single cutscene in the game.
I wont go in to too much detail as I do not want to ruin the game for people, but on the first level you get to play as Darth Vader! How cool is that?! As Darth Vader you arrive on the Wookie homeworld searching for a Jedi that escaped the dreaded 'Order 66'. Along the way you cut down Wookies with the most awesome weapon in the Universe, the Lightsaber. Or you can choke them with your Force Grip, or my personal favourite Force Push them and watch them crash through walls and watch trees uproot as your Force Push hits them. I've read people moaning that the bodies disappear after you kill them. So what?! It's what you can do to them before that that counts!
I never go bored with this game once, and if you are a true fan of Star Wars then you won't either. Beautiful levels and stunning graphics add to the true Star Wars excitement. Trust me, buy it! It's fantastic!
It makes you feel like your an Jedi!!! December 11, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Theres so many Lucas Arts Games, especially the infamous Star Wars Series..
But to be honest, i have found or heard they are just made to darn hard. Secondly is that some of them dont particularly sound too appealing either. But there are and have been some great Legend Star Wars games, like X-Wing Alliance, Episode 1 Racer, and Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, I have played a few others and read up far too many.
Now, When i got the demo of this game, the demo was an instant Guarantee that its a Must buy, well for me atleast, considering that i couldnt stop playing the flamming demo, it was just soo involving, it made you think like you are a jedi, always using your feelings towards an enemy, This game is brilliant, becos it lets you feel the force, and you can slay your enemies in so many ways, so it lets you slay how you feel..
Infact, this is the first game i have for my ps3 that I've only not been able to stop thinking about the game lol. So much, so much force is beyond recognition for Star Wars.. Come on, feel your anger, fear leads to hate, Hate leads to anger and anger leads to.. the dark side !!! lol
this game is just too addictive to put down the controller for, including Lunch!!!!
ONE TO BUY!!!!!!! September 11, 2008 3 out of 12 found this review helpful
I have like many on you probably have, downloaded the Demo from PLAYSTATION Network. The Demo plays solidly and smoothly. The graphics are stunning and the sound through a Dolby Surround/DTS is amazing and should be the only way it's heard, if possible.
Although the demo only takes you through a short section of the game, the controls and powers available in the game are something completely new to Star Wars Gamers. From what I have seen, I would definitely recommend this game and I have already pre-ordered this game for 19th September delivery.
