Force Unleashed!

Nah, it is annoying especially when you half kill them and then you die or something to that effect...

Agghhhhhhhhhhaaa!!!!!! Bleep! Bleep! Bleepiedy-bleep-bleep!!!!! I hate the Star Destroyer level! You have to pull three or four times until it finally works (which I haven't achieved yet). In between these stages, you have to take out the tie fighters. This got easier the longer I played it, but I can't seem to bring the Destroyer all the way down.... Just one more time and it'll slide to a stop at my feet. Problem is I keep having to do it over and over again. If you die you start over from the top! I read somewhere online, that I should ignore the prompts that tell the player which direction to pull and push... In stead, it said to line the Destroyer up with the character, so that you can see the bottom of the ship. At this point the sticks are supposed to glow green and you can start pulling it down. I haven't tried this yet, but I think after I chill out I'll give it a shot. I've played a lot of difficult games but this level is a giant pain in the rear! An even bigger pain in the rear than playing Mass Effect on difficult with a crappy sniper rifle! :taz

Jen you should video tape you playing the game on that level and post it up for Anomaly or just on Youtube. I'd like to see that! ;)

I've heard on all the reviews (especially on SWAN) that that is by far the most frustrating part of the game.

I heard their review...but I just remember Arnie complaining about the "jumping puzzles" which I HATE too...but I'm a problem solver by nature and was able to figure it out eventually.

You are a lucky man if your wife is bringing home video games. She's a keeper Meds.

Do you have a video capture thing to hook up to your 360? if not then you may need to get one or not showing the TV, it may be bad quality

I completed this game a long time ago...and now I'm starting it over on a higher difficulty level. I am enjoying it. Check it out if you haven't had a chance to yet. I'm sure the price has come down on it since it first came out.

I bought the Jedi Temple mission pack, but it didn't show up in the menu choices on my 360. Has anyone else purchased this? Is it something you play independent of the story line or does the level get shuffled into the ones that have always been apart of the game?

Did this ever make it to the PC? My boys tend to control the XBOX'es.

No PC version, according to developers:

"LucasArts opted not to develop a personal computer version of The Force Unleashed because doing the game well would be too processor-intensive for typical PCs, scaling down the game's procedural physics for the PC platform would have fundamentally changed The Force Unleashed's gameplay"

I've seen people cite piracy concerns for the reason as well.

billybob476 · July 07, 2009, 06:10:45 AM

I'd be shocked if Lucasarts couldn't make the game run on PCs nicely. I guarantee it was a marketing decision. I think the money just isn't there for platformers in the PC market.

The PC gaming space is more MMOs and real time strategy these days.

What a load of hooey! There are much more graphically and physics intensive games that have been released for the PC. I'm with Joe - this is a simple marketing move.
