Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you waited a while and haven't yet bought The Force Unleashed, well consider yourself lucky and pick up this addition.It's a lot more addictive and fun.I own both versions.I had The Force Unleashed for Xbox 360, and I bought this Force Unleashed Ulitmate Sith for PS3, as well as owning The Force Unleashed for PSP (what can I say I own all gaming consoles).This adds three levels to the original game that to me I enjoy more than some of the games regular levels, this game is made to answer the "what if" question; like can you imagine Luke Skywalker becoming the apprentice to Starkiller (who killed his father Vader)?
Now the Sith Edition for Xbox 360 contains 2 disks, the first is just the regular game that's been out for a little over a year, with a bonus disk featuring the 3 new levels.On the PS3 version you get one disk that contains everything.I also wanted to clear this up, you don't get 10 collector cards, you get one (of either 10 different) card and a book that shows you the other.It's nice thou, it's foil stamped, etc.And what I think is really nice, is the case this game is in, it's not plastic it's a tin case.Makes for a dramatic look.Certainly a nice christmas gift for any Star Wars fan, even if they already own the Original Force Unleashed as I did.

Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is without question the best Star Trek game ever made - period - and the first-person shooter aspect makes it even better. The graphics are very nice to look at (it utilizes the Quake 3 engine), as are the weapons and dialogue between the characters. This game will probably be a little on the easy side for experienced gamers, since it offers few challenging puzzles. At the same time, however, the pace is quick enough to keep veterans interested and keep inexperienced players on the edge of their seat. Very well balanced for everyone concerned.
The only downside to this game is the system requirements. You have to have a very sweet computer to run this game. I have a P III 750 mhz with 128 megs of RAM and a Voodoo 3 and there were still a few instances when the game action got very sluggish. Anyone with an older computer should probably stay away from the game, unless you want to set the graphics detail to the lowest setting, but even then you'll probably run into problems. It's too bad, really, that the game is so demanding, since it could have been almost perfect if it weren't for the system requirements.
All in all, if you have a good computer, it is definitely a great game to purchase, regardless of if you're a Star Trek fan or not.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all, you should know that this game is kind of short.I received it yesterday and it took roughly 10 hours on standard difficulty to complete.

Yet the fact that I didn't move the entire 10 hours is testament to this game's ability to be loads of fun to play, regardless of game-length.

THE GOOD:
The opening level places you in command of Darth Vader, giving you a preview of the absolute power of the force... that you realize you can't match at first with the apprentice.As the developers have stated, this is to give you a chance to realize what you can become.

The absolute awesomeness of this level really sets the tone for the game.Marching down and eliminating Wookies while ATAT's walk down below from the cliff and Star Destroyers, troop transports, and TIE Fighters fly all around left me feeling like this was really Star Wars.

The leveling in the game gives you a chance for character customization once you take control of the apprentice.Want your force-grip to be able to grab two enemies instead of one?Spend your force points in upgrading force-grip.Also - you can wear various costumes, make your lightsaber one of nearly 20 colors with various special effects, and really make your character your own.

The gameplay is solid, with a few questionable level designs toward the end of the game.

THE BAD:
The story is 'good' but as I gave the writer of the novel a hard time for not delving deep enough - I have to say that the cutscenes were chopped down to the point where you really can't grasp the full impact of the story which was more clear in the novel.

The Romance:
The love dialog/romance is worse than George Lucas if that gives you any indication.These characters develop feelings for one another despite Juno Eclipse being little more than a 'professional imperial' who forgot to button the top 5 buttons on her uniform and having no dialog really outside of a few sentences in the cut scenes.

Then again - if I saw a woman dressing like that I suppose it wouldn't take much romance for me to develop feelings for her either.

Multiple Endings?There is a dark side ending and a light side ending, but this isn't Knights of the Old Republic. 99% of the game is the same regardless of what you choose to be/wear/do.The final 'choice' is made 30 seconds before the final boss fight.Regardless of how you play the game - it comes down to what you do 30 seconds before you fight the final boss.I was hoping for a variety of missions or at least a change in objectives.

Frustrating objectives:
Sometimes your objective is very vague.I spent more than one level wandering in circles and jumping off cliffs trying to figure out what to do because the mission objective was something like "Pick out the hydrospanner from the flexoregulator" which is probably something you would know if you were an uber-geek who knew what either was.Guesswork and trial and error.Also - in the second Raxis Prime level the force controls at the end LIE to make you die quicker.

Bugs:
Few and far between, but I had some ATST decide to despawn (which was good for me) and a few hiccups.For the most part the game was solid.OVERALL:
Despite the flaws, I sat through the entire 10 hours and couldn't stop because it was extremely addictive.The game is simple - but it works and is fun.You can tell a lot of love went into this, but you can also tell that the cutscenes feel disconnected from the rest of the story in terms of dialog because of spotty editing which leaves you wanting more.

This is better than anything else LucasArts has had in a while, and you really feel like this is Star Wars.

Bottom line: A step in the right direction.A+ Gameplay, C- Story.
