The Force Grab is a catch and release system, so you pull the Right Trigger to grab whatever you have targeted, and you release the Trigger to let go. Once you are dangling an opponent in mid air, you have a few options, you can either throw your light saber at them and impale them in mid-air, or you can force push them away from you, or just drop them over the edge of whatever platform your on. There is no penalty for killing any of your own troopers, so I was able to go insane and use Clone troopers as projectile weapons. I was also able to pick up most objects in the environment, as well as Wookies, and yes even Clone Troopers.

Quickly pressing the Force Push button would release a moderate burst, which I could fire multiple times to clear enemies away from me if things got crazy.

This created some really cool moments with blaster fire zipping past Vader's helmet, as I casually raise my arm to choke an unsuspecting Wookie.Īs I approached a wooden platform with about 5 or 6 Wookies running at me, I started holding down the Force Push button, charging it up to unleash a burst that sent all of the Wookies over the edge and to their doom. Vader walks because Vader doesn't need to run. The pacing of the first level is really set by speed at which Vader walks. This helps to give an instant action feel to the game, as well as, deliver some fan service to all those you really ever wondered, 'What if.?'. The developers have cleverly thrown you into the game as Darth Vader to provide you, the player, with a glimpse of what you can do when you're at full power. The character models are really well done which helps to deliver that authentic Star Wars feeling. The first thing I noticed once I had control of Vader was how gorgeous the game looked, the greens and brown of Kashyyyk really blended well together and provided a nice backdrop for this level. Order 66 has been issued, and I have a job to do. At least I think it was 45 minutes, I had lost all track of time before the guys at Lucas Arts told us that our time was up.Īs I landed on the planet of Kashyyyk, I step off of my transport ship into a small war zone of Clone Troopers vs.

I was able to play the first 45 minutes of the game. From what I was able to play, the game completely delivers on this.

To be honest, I have been looking forward to playing this game since the original concept video was released 2 years ago. Recently I was able to visit Lucas Arts to play a current build of The Force Unleashed for the Xbox 360.
