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.

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 Nunchuck 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 homeworld 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 Teräs Käsi.
- 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.

 Star Wars game January 8, 2009
Wendy Braden
I bought this for my husband for Christmas, he really likes it the only thing I would recommend is make sure you have 2 nunchuck controllers if you want to battle someone else it is impossible with only one (we had to buy another) and they make light saber attachments for the Wii that would probably be nice to have with this game.

My boys love this game. They play it almost daily. My 7-year-old didn't like it at first because he was trying to get used to the Wii controllers but once he got the hang of it he really enjoys it.
Excellent, fun game January 8, 2009
Andrea L. Shuirman (Riverside, CA)
It was fun - although my son completed most of it in a short amount of time, and he's only 6. My husband completed it even faster.
 Decent game, creative dual mode January 8, 2009
Yo Mama (Albuquerque NM USA)
The game is what it is, and as expected toned down a notch for the Wii. Fun, but not the best Star Wars game ever. The multiplayer dual mode is cool, and is overlooked in most reviews. It may be the best feature of this game - being able to use a light saber and the force to fight your friends is great, especially with Wii motion controls.
If you don't already have this game, you obviously aren't fanatical about Star Wars, and so you probably wont find it worth more than $40. If you can pick it up for less than that, you should have fun playing this game with a friend a few times.
GREAT Game! January 8, 2009
Katharine B. Manning
This is a great game (according to my son) He loves it -- the only complaint he has is that it's too short -- there weren't enough missions on the game for him but he would recommend it!
