View Full Version : TFU Reviews
Gamespot and IGN I think have their reviews out for it.
I must say, the Wii version looks and sounds like utter crap. The graphics look fit for an n64. And the sound on it is supposedly compressed beyond belief. The 360 and PS3 look and sound better but still are reported to have lots of annoying bugs.
GG Lucasarts, you fail.

I'll be trying it tomorrow, I'll post what I think of it then. :)
I reserved the Wii version...is it so bad that I need to cancel the reservation?
EDIT: After reading reviews, I don't think I need to spend $50 on it. I'll be renting it from Blockbuster for $7, and I'll probably still finish it before it's due back.
Now I'm disappointed.
disappointed? you mean you didn't know it was going to suck? I've been saying it for a long, LONG time now. :rolleyes:

Ditto.
Anyway, the demo made the game feel like a rental. So maybe one day when I decide to go down and finally rent MGS4 I might get TFu as well.

Indeed. If the best criticism you can come up with for a Wii game is it looks and sounds bad(Compared with other platforms.), I'm still eagerly awaiting my copy. :P
Even the complaints of the game being short don't matter much to me. Duel mode ftw?

As a Star Wars video game, The Force Unleashed just takes too many missteps to be a masterpiece. But as Star Wars canon, The Force Unleashed does very little wrong.
I literally spit out my drink all over my monitor reading that
I wasn't drinking anything, so I just spit all over my monitor.
You mean you didn't know it was going to suck?
I'm disappointed at how apparently bad the Wiimote saber is.
That's the only reason I wanted the game, by the way....
I find the 360 version pretty kickass. Not the best game, but still loads of fun. (:

I found the game to be really fun. Yes, it may not fit in with the Star Wars saga very well, but the gameplay was random and new each time. Each time I played, I found new cool things. I loved the demo and have played it like 8 times. Each time has been fun. :D
All versions seemed to have gotten too low of a mark.
Seems a bit negative biased to me. 6.5 replay value yet you do nothing except talk about hundreds of collectables, plus two separate endings, and you'd have to play through a few times to try out all the different customization options?
The endings both suck, and the collectables are supposedly wicked easy to find and rather boring.

Not the point. Since when was running around game worlds looking for hidden items fun for anyone?
It's still technically replayable.
Replayability is judged by the desire to replay.

Hehe, I don't own the game, nor am I going to buy it. But it's kinda annoying how cynical your posts have been in this thread. And we both know what you were implying with that post ;)
No, I seriously was not implying anything. Learn to read and see how my post relates directly to Assassin's. :rolleyes:
I guess you haven't seen many of my posts on the subject of The Force Unleashed, but I'm a bit direct in how much it sucks. There's no reason for me to subtly imply anything.
Well, okay, I admit I rarely visit the OT forums here. I don't think it's so bad, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion of course.

I played it last week, full version (Mates brother reviews games and gets them early)
Heres my review:
This game is boring as ****. Its a God of War rip off minus the gore and limbs flying off.
The main character is a pansy and too nice from the start.
The levels look amazing but feel really long due to repeatitive game play.
Its boring.

Well that's a special case. They released a new pokemon game every bloody year since that's been practically the same, there's no reason to replay the old ones.

They release a new Pokemon game every new handheld console actually.
Gameboy - Blue, Red, Yellow (Green) in Japan
Gameboy Colour - Gold, Silver, Crystal
Gameboy Advance - Ruby, Saphire, Emerald
Dank **** - Pearl, Diamond
Slightly different in that you have to spend another £120 on the new console + game if you plan on waiting a few years for the sequel in order to "replay" the game. Much easier to just play the real, original game again, which nobody does, because "all the collectibles can't amount to **** when the gameplay is identical," (like with TFU.)
Only way in which you were remotely close to a year between releases is if you take into account that the Red and Blue releases in the US and Europe were in fact remakes of Green and Red in Japan (which were released yonks before Red and Blue.)
Yellow, Crystal, Emerald are all ****ty remakes to cash in moar and its not like you even need em to "capture and maim them all." No serious person buys them instead of just replaying the old one and catching pikachu in the bloody forest.
Yellow: "OMFG! Pikachu is stalking me!"
Crystal: "OMFG! I get a top down view of a female sprite... SCORE!"
Emerald - "Yo! I'ma green sprite now! HAHA!"
Remake of the DS Games: "Woot! I'm apparently, called Platinum, which is much less effeminate that a diamond or a pearl."

I have a little brother who collects them... all, plus I collected them up until Gold (which I got from the USA, months before anybody in the UK.) Gold was great, but with nobody to battle or trade with it got lame quicker. 6 months later, Pogeyman was dead.

That's 12 games, not 4.
Sure, they're practically the same but the point is rather than play Blue twice you'd play Blue and then Red or whatever.

So I just played this game (rented) in it's near entirety, and I honestly like it, I don't see a lot wrong with the game... maybe its just cause I never get bored of smashing people into things and punting jawas. That's probably just me...
Story was alright. Force powers were alright... I still don't agree with the star destroyed thing though.
I do agree, however, that there needs to be dismemberment... :)

17-09-2008, 04:29
I agree they need a g_realisticsabercombat 4 command in that game.
Ive begun playing it a bit and I actually enjoy it. I think the physics engine is excellent, the controls for the wii are fairly good minus the camera work, and i enjoy doing different force combos.
Just played F.U.
****ING SICK GAME.
The reviews make it seem like ****, but damn man this game has a load of plot twists. tbh, this is now one of my favorite games. Its just down to earth (or whatever ****in planet their on at the time) the character development is spectacular, not topping kotor of course but hey this is a completely different type of game, and the fact that they included such development is astonishing.
I purchased it on Wii btw, I took the graphical sacrifice for the fun gaming experience, and it ****ing paid off.
But honestly, for the time this game took to MAKE it should have been longer, however as far as the wii version goes..
10/10
And Starkiller is the ****in ****ttttttttttttt.
Lol AgentX. I feel the same way. I got it for the 360, and in all honesty, it's one of the best games I've played. The story is amazing, graphics are amazing, sound/music are really good, AI is smart and challenging, the gameplay is ok, and the new characters are amazing. I haven't beaten the game yet, but I plan on beating it tomorrow when I get home from school. So far, it's a really fun game. I still love punting Jawas/Uganauts. :D

The story wasn't too bad, but only if you can distance yourself from the rest of Star Wars canon/EU and the numerous inconsistencies/plot holes.
I've rented it, and so far it's beyond any hope I had. It has a nice story, it's challenging to the point of being fun, but doesn't step beyond that into the realm of annoyance. I've died quite a few times so the worries I had heard of it being a simple, easy force spam fest aren't true. I've also used my saber quite a bit, and while it's not THAT complex of a system, it is nicely done.
Ultimately I highly recomend playing this. I don't support BUYING games, since I find it a waste of money. But whether you choose to buy or rent, it's a good game to play, and deffinently worth whatever money you put into it.

The EU has mostly managed to forget about stupid crap that became canon during the YV war. I'm sure it can weather another round of lame ideas from the game designers.
~Gabriel
Can someone please inform me what in the game ruins canon so much? I mean really, I've gotten to the Bail part in the game, and so far I haven't noticed one thing that contradicts canon. The closest to it would be the apprentice himself, but then EU never said Vader never had one, it didn't specify, so that doesn't contradict canon. All this "This game rapes canon" stuff is really annoying, so someone please explain.
Vader starts the rebellion. Nuff' said.

Are you serious? There's never any mention of him in the movies. He's not a very secret apprentice if he starts the rebellion.
Not only that but he's more powerful than Vader and the Emperor; he brought down a Star Destroyer by himself, and the rebllion thing.
There's already a story about how the rebellion was formed, and there's no Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice in there.
For me it's less of the holes that it forms that make the story fail, and more of the fact that it's just a sucky story that doesn't FIT canon... as in it stands out like a sore thumb more so than Ep 2 and 3.

Just because there isn't any mention of him doesn't mean he couldn't have existed. They never went "Vader never had a secret apprentice" in the movies either, leaving it open. Nowhere has it ever specified Vader didn't take on an apprentice, not one canon source. So how can they break canon if it wasn't ever canon?
Not only that but he's more powerful than Vader and the Emperor; he brought down a Star Destroyer by himself, and the rebllion thing.
So far in the game he has yet to bring down an ISD, nor shown himself to be stronger then Vader or Palpy. Thus far I've only seen his ass get kicked by Vader.

Actually, so far the whole Apprentice thing fits in with the formation of the Rebellion. The rebellion started by a group of senators and whatnot getting together and organising the hundreds of scattered rebel sects throughout the galaxy. In the game the apprentice basicly nudges those senators to do that, so it doesn't break canon it merely expands on it.

I'm not sure what you want in a game, to be honest. I mean you obviously can't ever be satisfied with anything. I mean granted I haven't beaten the game yet, so all of what you've said may happen, but really. So far not one of those things breaks canon. So I still have yet to hear how this game ruins canon.

Do they stretch the canon to make the game more fun, ya but so does mb2. Sometimes gameplay and the enjoyability of the game are more important than adhering strictly to the canon. That's part of the game making process, you do your best to work within the confines you are giving while still making the game fun and worth while.

I don't remember the actual story of how the rebellion was supposedly formed; it's been a while, but I'm pretty sure it was pretty thoroughly done out as the originator's ideas/plans, and it was created on Corellia with the Emperor and Vader unknowing. Again, I could be remembering it completely wrong, but ifthere's truth to anything I just said, that is completely shattered by TFU's less-than-mediocre story, which you'll see as you complete the game.

wtf? lol. Gab was right in what he said.

Btw, I could be wrong here, but I thought the knowlege of who was part of the rebellion was largely secret? Doesn't quite seem to fit in with them all being captured and all.
trust me, I'm not whining. I was thoroughly entertained by watching the cinematics on YouTube. I will admit I'm confused as to why people here are fooling themselves the story doesn't suck. The gameplay I can't say sucks because I haven't personally tried it, and that would be terribly ignorant on my part. Reviews have said it's choppy and games like Psy Ops or whatever have done it better, but everyone has different opinions there. The story is just to laughable for me to comprehend (m)any people thinking it's good.
Like I said, though, it was entertaining. I laughed almost as much as I did when I watched Stomp the Yard, but TFU was much cheesier.

TFU is a boring boring game. Its God of War with star wars graphics. Except God of War was 10x better than this game.
The combat is repeatative and just the same old button mashing over and over.
The story is boring.
The main character, for a man who was raised by Darth Vader acts like a nice guy. I was expecting him to be maul like.
The only good thing about this game is that the levels look really really nice. But thats spoiled due to repeatative gameplay that makes them feel 3x as long.
The camera is horrible too.

Why should they mention him? He didn't make up the rebellion, he just nudged it along. He saved their lives? Who ****ing cares, HUNDREDS of people have died for the rebel leaders, what makes that one so special? Just because he wasn't mentioned doesn't mean he didn't exist. It's an entire galaxy, lots of things are left un-mentioned until someone comes along and mentions em. The Clone Commando series is a perfect example.

As far as this goes, it allways seemed pretty obvious the empire knew WHO was leading the rebellion, they just didn't know WHERE they were. And what happened was there was hundreds of small rebel groups fighting the empire. And the senators Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, and Garm Bel Iblis rallied them all together and formed the Rebel Charter (Or something like that) to signify a united rebellion against the empire.
Nowhere does that contradict the apprentice doing what he did. All he did was nudge them forward, all TFU did was give a glimpse at what happened BEFORE the senators rallied together, it showed what the catalyst was for them to rally together, and why it took them 18 bloody years to do so. The apprentice was that catalyst, he pushed the senators forward. That doesn't break canon, not in the slightest.

By that logic you could argue that Hitler and Stalin were nice guys.
Nor did I say that killing people defines your personality, its the manner and circumstances in which it was done.
I have played the game, I must say, PS2 version beats out 360. I got both versions to see which was better.
anyway, I liked the story. I thought it did a great job at bridging together episodes 3 and 4.
so? Killing people has no reflection of your personality. That's like saying anyone who's ever been in war is the biggest ******* ever.
I'm at the ISD part, and while I do agree it's not realistic to SW, I can over-look it for one simple reason. It's a game. And any SW fan would know that this sequence was merely added to increase gameplay, and spice things up. So while the rest of the story remains accurate to canon, I can over-look this. Unfortunently it's pissing me off :@ I spend the entire time between waves just turning the bloody thing, let alone bringing it down.

And the senators Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, and Garm Bel Iblis rallied them all together and formed the Rebel Charter (Or something like that) to signify a united rebellion against the empire.
Nowhere does that contradict the apprentice doing what he did. All he did was nudge them forward, all TFU did was give a glimpse at what happened BEFORE the senators rallied together, it showed what the catalyst was for them to rally together, and why it took them 18 bloody years to do so. The apprentice was that catalyst, he pushed the senators forward. That doesn't break canon, not in the slightest.
*sigh* you'll figure it out when you beat the game. Unless your IQ is double digit. In the meantime, I'll just /facepalm every time you post.
By that logic you could argue that Hitler and Stalin were nice guys.
Nor did I say that killing people defines your personality, its the manner and circumstances in which it was done.
They might have been. Evil, twisted maybe, but I don't know whether they were nice or not.
EDIT: oh, and you kind of did. Dave was commenting on his personality, you told him he was wrong because he killed people... how can you say you didn't say that?

I haven't finished the game, but it's very enjoyable, my one problem with it is that force gripping objects into people is rather difficult to control, it seems sometimes i'll release an object and it get's sent flying in a completely opposite dirrection of where my cursor was pointed.
I don't really care that you're whacking your enemies with your lightsaber like it's a bat rather than a sword that can supposedly cut through any solid substance. The point of the game is a focus on FORCEPOWERS, not a lightsaber. If you want to fight like that you can play battlefront II, Moviebattles, Jedi Knight, or lego starwars. The focus on the force powers and the physics of total destruction is what makes the game unique and special.
Still undecided whether to get TFU or Mercs 2, Keep in mind that i've only got a PS2 atm. :|
Mercs 2 is garbage. It's like Just Cause on crack.
Anyway, I haven't played TFU, but from watching the cinematics..
I'm perfectly fine with the story. I think it's a bit ridiculous that you're going to try and bash the game's story, especially given its Lucas approved. I mean, there's no saying you can add in additional details to an existing storyline. We're filling in gaps here. There's a lot of space in between not only the movies, but the trilogy sets as well. There are no rules adhering to what can be done and what can't, with the exception of any recurring characters' deaths.
Pilo T likes to bitch in general, though. You really can't please him unless you stick to the same old ****. Change is impossible and blasphemous.
haha, I love you too Myth.
I had no problem with Starkiller being made the motivation for the rebels to officialize their faction and gather more members. Because that's what happened. No more, no less.
The Rebel Alliance already existed but in small scale and in an unnoficial status when Starkiller came along. All that he did was delivering them a logo and an old jedi master for their cause.
Btw, KOTOR games had main characters that were really powerful and you liked the story and yet, you see one really powerful character in the Prequel/Old Triology and you go haywire ? What happened to the hole Exile and the vergeance in the Force storyline ? Or is that one ok since he didn't had to fight Vader ?
Not to mention that this Vader is still getting used to the suit he was thrown in. Took him years to get it all together and to learn how to use his weakness to his advantage.
The kinda BS moments from the story were the hole flesh hologram technology droid and him having a ****ing Darth Maul program with him (!!!) without even having no almost no chance of knowing of him since he was a silent killer, he only showed himself in Episode 1, and I somehow doubt Proxy was there to record his fighting style.

Playing Devil's Advocate here but considering the droid was given to Starkiller by Vader, who programmed all the personalities into said droid, probably heard a few stories about Maul from Palps, and there you go.
Hell, when he just magically turned into Maul, which I knew I was going to fight, was one of the rare awesome moments I had in the game, (second only to playing Stormtrooper Bowling with the DBZified Push move.)
The one thing I really, really hate about this game is the overabudance of QTEs, now, I understand the theory behind them, but they just take some of Ommph out of the game, I mean, I'd rather be the one crushing AT-ST's into the size of suitcases, myself, I want to do the moves, I want to choose to do either the crush move, or the slice into two move, or hell, do something completely different, not watching a cutscene play while I'm playing Simon.
And QTE's give me bad flashbacks of Indigo Prophecy, so....yeah....

How do you mimic his looks and styles if you never saw him fight ? I mean, Anakin had a glimpse of the Episode I duels but that doesn't let you make up a full set of moves, plus the fact that we was so small he would hardly remember the small details.
Anyway I digress. Maul, playing as Vader and some other stuff were included because of the initial ideas for this next gen game. At one time it was going to be a Darth Maul game and later on they considered having Vader as the main playable character.
They had two awesome ideas like that... and somehow we got THIS? Were they high? Had Vader been bringing down Star Destroyers and ****, that would just enhance the OT. Instead, there's confusion and irritation.

Why would Vader bring down a Star Destroyer tho ? I somehow see Palpatine more capable of doing this instead of Vader. He might be the chosen one but it would Vader look superior to his master which would then makes us wonder why the hell doesn't he kill the old fart already.
A Maul or Vader game would have been a MUCH better idea. Maul better than Vader, I think, though he was more a martial artist, and less a force user... he's got more story to explore, though.
Maul wouldn't allow for the physics orgasm that they wanted to display tho. And already has some books with his story.

We'll lets be honest this isnt the first occurance of star destroyers being owned by the first. In the jedy academy books the academy students basically force push a fleet of SDs into a different sector.

Yeah, and that was a bunch of Jedi focusing together, and using an ancient Sith amplifier thing (Sith the species). And the guy who channeled most of that force was almost killed in the process.
Either way, you guys are looking too much into the power levels of the apprentice. Yeah he may be strong, but I don't think ANY SW fan would go "Oh yeah, he was stronger then Vader". They'd just accept his uberness comes from the gameplay style is all. While he is quite powerfull, he's still weaker then Vader.
I like what they did with the game, they explored a time period rarely ever touched, and didn't go the route of tacking on new stuff to the Clone Wars. They gave us something fresh, and new, that ties in very well to canon to make it feel like one fluid story. They couldn't have done this if they used Vader, or Palpy, who'd be the only uber forcers at the time. So they made a new one, no biggy.
Pilo you need to just accept that this is a game, and games are one of the worst sources for canon since you need to account for gameplay features. The story is canon, but some of the things in it aren't. Him pulling an ISD for example, it was simply a gameplay feature to make the game more fun, and shouldn't reflect on the story if you've got any sense at all.

That's not that hard of a feat, to be honest. I mean he's lost several times before now, he may be a badass but inside that suit, he aint all that powerfull. He lost like half his power when Obi diced n sliced, don't forget the force requires organic material, Vader's half machine.

He got beaten by Obi-Wan...and that's it. Honestly, I don't see where you're coming from on this one. As a kid who grew up in the 1980s with Vader being the ultimate badass (he killed the Emperor, after all), I probably have a different view on things than people who grew up more recently, with all the BS they've come out with to change the story (games, books, the prequels, that sort of ****). To me, Vaders getting his ass handed to him by his own apprentice is just absurd.

Actually Vaders gotten beaten several times, I can't give specifics since it's been a while since I read up on Vader, but I do know he's lost atleast a couple fights during the Empire's reign. And he only killed Palpy by surprise, Vader woulda never beaten Palpy in a fair fight, so that really doesn't give any credit to his badassness. Vader is a badass, and NOONE will dispute that. He's also incredibly powerfull, but after what Obi did to him he's not the most powerfull guy in the galaxy.
If anything, Luke far surpasses Vader in raw power. Some of the stunts he's pulled off are even better then anything the Apprentice has done. So yeah, it's not unreasonable that the Apprentice coulda become stronger then Vader.

I'll have to recheck the EU for the original story regarding the creation of the rebellion cause I'm pretty sure this game breaks it. Might be hard to find, though, now that this **** is everywhere.
This game also doesn't fit in with the original trilogy. If this is supposed to bridge any sort of gap between Episode 3 and 4, it's a very old, rickety bridge. I don't plan on crossing it any time soon either.
Okay. We get it. You don't like the game.

They added in TFU segments, but I noticed they didn't REMOVE anything. This clearly shows that TFU doesn't break the Rebel founding, it merely expands on it. These two combined actually explain things the game itself didn't. For example, why were Garm Bel Iblis and Mon Mothma there? The apprentice didn't get them, so how did Bail know them? He knew because they've been talking about rebellion for a while, and were finally pushed into open, armed rebellion by the apprentice. It all works quite wonderfully, and I applaude the game makers for making the story fit canon so well.

If Vader and Emperor knew that Bail Organa was part of the Rebel Alliance, they never would have allowed Leia Organa to remain Senator. Not to mention which, Bail continued to live on Alderan. Not the move of a man hiding from the law.
TFU may not break continuity, but it certainly violates common sense with a bloody vengeance.
~Gabriel
Yeah, this isn't like the modern world. If the entire founders of the Rebel Alliance were there and ready to be killed by Vader and the Emperor... first of all, the Emperor does not operate within the bounds of red tape as in modern politics. He could do whatever the **** he wants. Second of all, why would they continue to be public figures knowing he's a Sith lord and that he wants them dead? As Gab said, it destroys the life out of common sense.

That wasn't Garm, that was General Kota :/
As for the Rebel thing, well it really doesn't break common sense if you think about it. So what if Bail stayed on Alderaan, Vader n Palpy might not have known. It's a big galaxy and he could be anywhere, it's also a big planet.
I mean people tend to make things seem small in sci-fi, when it really isn't. Even if they knew Bail was on Alderaan, it's a big planet. For simplicities sake we could say it's the size of earth. Now SW doesn't have fancy star trek life signs detectors, if Bail wanted to hide on Alderaan, the Empire would never find him.
So yeah, just because the empire knew who the leaders were doesn't mean they could just run out and find them willy nilly.
As for Leia, well there I agree. Palpy has hurt family members to get at someone before, no reason he wouldn't go after Leia. But I guess the arguement could be made that since she was a senator, and Palpy still had to play mr. nice guy to the senate, he didn't make a move until he disbanded the senate. If you watch EP4 the senate was disbanded soon after Leia was aprehanded.
But anyways, TFU really doesn't screw up canon at all, and it really doesn't mess with common sense either. Some things are amiss, but that's to be expected when you're adding new content to something as big and diverse as SW. Luckily they're small and insignificant.

Wrong
AT-ATs first saw use at the Second Battle of Jabiim
but they started getting used very little as they were slowed down on muddy battle fields and that A5 and A6 juggernauts where prefered over them.
They were later used again during Battle of Orion IV (0.5BY). After the battle of yavin Veers resurrected the Walker program, upgrading them and deploying them on multiple battle fields such as Corellia, Chandrila, and Gormen.
Later it was used at Hoth.
There is a book though called Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader (Read it, its a good book) which takes place straight after the aftermath of EP3 focusing on him, getting used to the new suit and hunting down a pack of jedi hiding on Kashyyyk.
The last half of the book focuses on the battle of kashyyyk and im surprised that the people who did the story for this game didnt use the book for their first level.
So I started playing, and I got very frustrated at the camera and the saber controls. Also the little interactive cutscenes. But I like using Force Push and Lightning. And the non-interactive cutscenes.
It's really easy to ignore the story. Just pretend its an alternate universe where vader and palp are nothing more than punkass bitches.
One thing that seriously puzzles me. They overpower the force powers and then underpower the saber? I can bring down a starship but my laser sword that's supposed to cut through anything is basically nothing more than a glorified baseball bat that just happens to glow?
That makes so much sense. Like it'd really make a difference if the saber could kill in one hit and chop people to bits on the first go. God mode is god mode.

Story: 3/5 - I liked it up until the end. I'd have preferred it if instead of defeating Darth Vader, you instead trap him somewhere so that you can confront the Emperor alone (this is for the Light Side ending). Starkiller kicks ass and all; but toying around with Vader, the Chosen One, like a doll? Nono.

He throws the Emporer around like a Rag Doll, this game only served to ruin the orginial trilogy by having Vader and the Emporer look like pathetic nobodies. As far as I know with the Clone Wars series and this game, I am done with star wars and need to find a new hobbie.

SPOILERS: (spoiler tags should really be a part of the buttons on the post window)
Why? I rented the game and the storyline is awesome. I mean, choppy at points, but being the birth of the rebellion? That's awesome.
No moar spoilers
The wii version looks like the PS2 version and that's garbage being that it's several times more capable, however it's far from an eyesore as these reviewers have made it out to be. Great controls or not, the "heavy" console (360, PS3) versions are FAR better.
Glitchy as hell though. I would imagine that, with all the time and bottomless pockets they had to make this game, they would get out major bugs like doing an aerial slam on an enemy, falling through the floor and into a JKA-style void. That's downright pathetic.
Edit: In addition to the above, I've seen AI failure (like a stormtrooper just standing there, spacing out, not attacking you until you smack him around with your saber) more times than I can count.
As far as gameplay in general goes though, the game is ****ing awesome. I'm guessing the reviewers played it on zygote mode with god mode on and bitched about "how it's too easy, push one button and win, you don't get to use your combos". Bull.
Play it on Sith Lord/the unlocked difficulty after beating it. It's freaking impossible. If you don't approach every situation tactically and carefully, you die faster than a kid being dropped into a giant meat grinder (and pretty much 80% of the combat in the game is the enemy throwing absolutely everything they've got at you, especially the final level.)
Am I the only one who never got a ST to grab onto a ledge? I've flat out hovered a ST next to a ledge and let go and he just fell to his death. I wanted to see him hang on for dear life :(

Yes. Try pushing them off the ledge and watch them battle against inertia, and let go in fear of having their arms ripped off.

so dont push as hard:p
Every action they do is Euphoria, btw.
But as for saving themselves, yeah I barely saw any of that. But really, if you were in their position, how would you react? You're a regular guard on duty, and then all of a sudden a dude lifts you up telekinetically and tosses you 100 MPH through the air. I think you'd **** your pants.
I saw one cool instance where I tossed a stormtrooper off of cloud city, and he landed on the slanted area. He tried climbing up Jango style but slipped off and fell to his doom.

If only stormies had spikes in their arms.

I've made stormtroopers hold hands so many times, it never gets old. Even the omega commando stormtroopers near the end of the game holding hands with shock troopers to keep from being flung into an abyss. It's hilarious.
I've never done that lmfao
I just finished the game.
Those flying stormtroopers that were there with the AT-ST at the end? I've never raged so hard at a video game before.
Yeah, that part on Hard was frustrating as ****.
It took me an assload of tries, since I've never upgraded my lightning shield. :(
I've rented this. Actually found it really fun. Some of the level design is awful though, especially the junk yard levels, urgh.
Yeah Raxus Prime was beautiful but sucked really hard.
Bumped for seriously lulz

Its more of a Wii rant than a TFU review

FISH NEEDS TO SAY SOMETHING.
TFU WAS POOPY.
A buddy of mine rented it and wanted me to try it out with him. Normally I refuse to play on silly consoles, but I was bored. We got to the part with that mando guy Chopp'a, and I said to myself "SAY, THIS SEEMS A TAD BIT FAMILIAR."
Thats cause the game is really really repetitive.
You get in the level, button mash to beat up all the starting enemies, run around a little, then something a bit bigger pops up. You kill it, run around more, and have to beat up something bigger. THEN, you have to go fight a boss. Its like this pretty much every level.
Raxus (thats what the junkyard place was rite? D=): Fight the lil droids with swords, fight the dog droid thing (walks on all fours), fight the junk bohemoth (massive speel chek) fight the boss droid with the sword, fight the jedi.
Felucia (SPEEL CHEK): Fight the warrior people, fight the rancors, fight shaak
Cloud City: Fight the bounty hunter/thug people, fight those annoying headbutting axe wielding pig things, fight the big robot thingy, fight chopp'a
And for people who say "BUT FISH, THATS ONLY 3 LEVELS LOL!", those 3 levels seem to last forever, at least for me.
So yeah, poopy. Most fun I had was slamming imps into each other.
Was the PS2 version btw.

Indeed. Misses all the actual good and bad points of the game in favour of ranting about the Wii. If you're an anti-Wii sort, I'm sure you'll get a laugh out of it. I still enjoy mine though, so...

A major bad point of the wii version is that it doesn't have difficulty levels and it's just insanely easy. Why the hell would they take out difficulty options?
because each version is unique.

And? Taking out options = Bad.
Yeah, but we're talking about TFU. That's what they excel at.

I actually liked the game. Although i got it for Xbox, not Wii.
I like the concept, of course, the euphoria engine and the effects and what not. However i the game was lacking somehow. if you took a copy of the xbox engine and set it for PC, a few private developers could really take this game to an extent that would make it as epic as lucasarts tried to get people to beleive it would be.
