OVERVIEW

This entry in the Star Wars saga casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice", unveiling 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 by taking full advantage of newly developed technologies only possible on next-gen consoles that will be seen and experienced for the first time anywhere in videogaming.

General 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.
• Decisions made by players throughout the game will determine the path of the story, including multiple endings that will rock Star Wars continuity as they know it.
• 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.

According to Shell, the demo will be a special version of the Tie Fighter Construction Facility, where players will have access to extra force powers and a "super secret" ending to the level not found in the final version of the game.

To entice people that wouldn't normally play the game to play the demo and find themselves enjoying it enough to purchase the full version.

[JLaSoul]

if it don't have it included in the game if I like that extra I will just keep the demo installed in m ps3 so I could have it.

[dpomp]

i will download this the day it comes out!! i download every demo anyway.

That sound like a good reason. I'm looking forware to the demo next month.

[kuliddar]

Cool...looking forward to that one. Could be one of my rare purchases that I will pay full price for lol.

[JonD7]

I kinda stopped caring about this game after I saw all that InFamous footage, haha... heres hoping the demo's good!

[Gamekid]

I haven't played a real star wars game in a long time. I've played the lego series, but this one looks cool. I have yet to play a star wars game on the wii. The motion control plus would hopefully be put to good use if the attachment is used in the wii version of the game.

It's an interesting attempt to solve part of the problem currently with demos. Present a scenario that isn't in the game itself, so you can have it pace differently from the game version and give a broader scope of the game.

Will see how it works out.

[Gamekid]

From what I have seen so far, the game looks promising, especially with the option of lightsaber duels on the wii version, something that we have all wanted to see.

Best Star War games are the Knights of the Old Republic games

And people wonder why I'm excited about the game and wanting to buy a wii. I just hope they use the speaker for the lightsaber sound! *fanboi squeel*

[BigFoot]

I am seriously looking forward to this.

First one had a better story IMO, but the second had better action and powers.

LOL! I wouldn't need the Wii version for this particular aspect as I already have Darth Maul's dual lightsaber and Darth Vader's lightsaber in the Master Replica's ForceFX series, but power to ya!

I collect the master replicas lightsabers as well. I really just put them up for show, although I have played with them a little bit.
