Product Description
Amazon.com
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.

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 behavioral-simulation engine, euphoria enables interactive characters to move, act and even think like actual human beings, adapting their behavior 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 homeworld 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 behavioral 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 DMM is mind-blowing. I replayed the Cloud City level so many times, just to smash the Ugnaughts through those glass monitors in the cantina countless ways. Then, when I got tired of that, I'd play with the Euphoria, and force lift them up a column, where they'd grab and hang and flail for a few seconds before giving in and falling into the abyss of Bespin. No wonder I ended up with the surprise "Bully" trophy. (Did the same thing in the Prologue level with Vader torturing the Stormtroopers, and ended up with the "Worst Day Shift Manager Ever" trophy, which made me guffaw.) This game floats around 20 bucks now--it's worth it for the technology alone, please believe me--although I admit I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff (DMM and Euphoria).
I LOVED the Jedi fights in this game. I'm not a huge hack-and-slash fan, and I adored the way the game promoted mixing up your attacks between saber slashes, force pushes, and lighting--and throwing lightning-infused level objects at enemies too. This game is so much fun. PLUS, bonus, the much-maligned Star Destroyer "fight" isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It's pretty intuitive--but it IS the one time in the game I got annoyed with the targeting, when it came to destroying the TIE fighters. But, hey, it only took me about 10 minutes on Easy, on my first try--and I'm not particularly "good" at games. So don't let the Star Destroyer horror stories scare you off.
This may very well be one of my favorite games of this generation, right up there with GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, and Red Faction Guerrilla. Just know I NEVER bought this game thinking that would be the result. I thought I'd have a little fun with the engines in it and put it away eventually...fortunately, the game turned out to be a COMPLETE surprise, and a shiny, underrated gem-of-a-game.
I loved it so much I bought the overpriced DLC. My friends, that is a true ringing endorsement from a cheap-skate like me.
judged a little too harshly. Its a very, very good game -- not perfect, by any means, but a very
satisfying experience, without question, an excellent Star Wars "fix". After the classic 90s game
"X-Wing", this is probably my favorite Star Wars title to date (and I've played everything from KOTOR to
Jedi Academy to Star Wars: Battlefront). Graphics are very good, story and music are excellent, fact that you
can play Darth Vader in the first sequence is a nice bonus, but its the great repertoire of force powers
and lightsaber techniques at your disposal that really make this game memorable. The one criticism
I had with the game has been brought up by others and it is perfect valid: the targeting system is weak.
You get used to though as the game goes on and eventually you really don't even notice it.
With the advent of the PS4, a lot of these older PS3 gems are falling in price and you can basically have
a great game like this for a song. Time to load up!
Once it did, I bought it and have really enjoyed it. There are a lot of things to like about Force Unleashed. Interactive environments (very interactive environments), enjoyable force powers, good story line, even some humor thrown in. The graphics are good, not trailblazing, and the game play is not all hack and slash; you need to problem solve and use your force powers creatively. But when you want to unleash your light saber you can.
The game was well thought out and has if not super highpoints of the best PS3 games, a lot of solid and enjoyable points. At the greatest hits price, must get for a Star Wars fan and a very good get for anyone who isn't.

ストーリーも良いし、なによりフォースとライトセーバーを駆使して戦うのがすごく楽しいです。
PS3版では日本語版がありませんが、ネットで翻訳Wikiがあるので、それを見ながらストーリーを理解しました。だから英語版でもなんとかなる!
もちろん音楽も映画と同じです!
一度クリアしても、主人公の能力を引き継ぎできるので、引き続きレベル上げしつつ、強い状態でプレーできたりできるのもいい。
ぜひいろんな方々にプレーしていただきたいです。
フォースと共にあらんことを。
