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. The Wii version will not only give you a solid story-line developed by LucasArts involving the Darth Vader's secret apprentice, but you'll experience a new style of gameplay only the Wii can offer. With the Wiimote and Nunchuk you'll be able to battle your way through your enemies utilizing your Lightsaber attacks and Force powers. Not only can you experience this new control system in story mode, but you can also try your Jedi skills against a friend in the Wii, "Battle Mode." Joining the Dark Side doesn't seem like such a bad idea after all.
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 Wii system's "Battle Mode," a one on one fighting arena simliar to the classic game, Star Wars: Masters of Teraes Kaesi.
- Use the Wiimote to slash and pierce your enemies with your Jedi Lightsaber while you use the Wii Nunchuk to disable other opponents with your Force Powers.
- 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 Technology of The Force Unleashed With The Force Unleashed, LucasArts not only introduces a new chapter in the Star Wars saga, but also pushes the Wii's game engine to deliver amazing detail and realism only found in a Star Wars title. You will experience gameplay and the Force like you never had before.

Mmmm, Much Profit I Sense in You Gamer!!!!! August 22, 2008 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
Ok i haven't actually got my hands on this yet but did get to see a demo version in LA at the games expo for the PS3. whilst there i took the opportunity to speak to one of the reps and he assured me that game play would be similar on all formats but that the Wii would probably be the most fun due to being able to swing the remote around like a real lightsabre (however you have to add your own sound effects..).
That said you would not beleive the queues and interest in this game (or perhaps you would) anyway they were only showing one level which was set in some sort of imperial factory and wow it looked the dogs biscuits. the level shown was fairly early on so the character had not at that point achieved many powers other than force lift/move & force push which we're hilarious to watch especially when picking up stormtroopers and slinging them across the room.
i suppose that i should be wary in assigning this high marks but given the small demo i saw this game is going to rock.
OH! MY! GOSH! August 10, 2008 6 out of 22 found this review helpful
Just came back from playing this in Wembely, London. i literaly do not know what to say..i am completley speechless. all the force moves are so out of this world wicked. you can blow down trees cut anything in half, blast your way around and set things on fire. the storyline is almost as good as watching a star wars film, they could'nt have made it any better! the characters look so realistic and the graphics looks real life. by far the most fun you can ever get on the wii, 360 and ps3. on the wii was the best, then xbox and fianly playstation. 10/10, defiantley reccomended. i want to thank everyone at the lucas arts team who made this game, for making my dream game come true! xxx
