- FUN?!
I'll be brief on this review. The controls are simple and easy to learn, the story is fantastic and especially good if you're a star wars fanatic like me, the levels are fun, the graphics are very good but not the best. The sound is great, like a lightsaber is in front of me. But its repetitive and seems a bit linear, but it does what it says on the cover you can unleash the forces, blow away your foes, hurl them like rag - dolls, shock them, stab them, stomp them, and crush them.
A fun game, but is now collecting dust on my shelf after a month of button bashing, the story can be done in a week if you savor it, or 1 day if youre a hardcore person. A good game if youre a fan or not.

Rating: - So nearly a great game
As a huge Star Wars fan... I had seen teasers and trailers for this so long ago, thought this would never make it..... so was it worth the wait? Well, yes for a SW fan, but maybe not for anyone else. Firstly, I don't think I could ever be bored playing a game where you have Jedi powers, and some really great ones at that! Secondly, this is probably the best story on a game that I can recall (Wing commander comes close), it links episodes 3 & 4 so well that there is even talk of a movie based on this. The graphics are great if not the best I have seen, and the soundtrack is of course great (especially on a surround sound system). Now for the bad points... there is the most annoying *default text* bug that means you don't know what the bonuses are and your current status for the last few levels. Next is the lack of locations, you re-visit a few, and that seems a bit of a cop-out. Then the length of the game, completed it twice in a week since I got it... and without on-line longevity not sure how much I will play it again. In essence a must for any SW fan, and maybe a sale purchase if you are not. So close to a great game, but just missed the mark.

- Should be better!
This game was a major reason why I bought a PS3 at the end of August. The hype and video's around it made it look superb.
I'm a massive Star Wars fan but was sadly left under whelmed by The Force Unleashed.
Overall the story is reasonably good, but with one or two disappointing parts (don't read this bit if you don't want to know). Subject to which side you join on the final level, why if you choose to face Palpatine does he pathetically float around the Death Star throne room? Very poor!
Secondly, Vader is always portrayed as being one of the most powerful Sith's ever (and rightly so!). Therefore, why does/can Starkiller wreck him up so badly at the end? Just wrong!
Now the game itself. Graphically it's superb, as is the animation. The manipulation of the Force is revolutionary and nothing any Star Wars game has ever come close to, it's certainly satisfying to use the force to fling opponents around at great distance.
I completed the game (admittedly on the easiest setting) in just over five hours, with no multiplayer or anything else afterwards, it's really disappointing. Unless you want to go back and do missions again to do holocron hunting to build Starkiller up further (not necessary at all).
Additionally, given how large the Star Wars universe is, you revisit too many planets, Kashyyyk twice, Felucia twice and Raxus Prime twice etc. Although the levels are slightly different, you would expect more.
If you're a big Star Wars fan with £40 burning a hole in your pocket, then sure buy it. Otherwise I'd wait a few months till the price drops. I cannot help but think that despite the delays in the release of this game, it's still been rushed out and if Lucasarts had more time to tweak it, it could be so much better.
Rating: - Its no star wars knights of the old republic
Don't get me wronge its a good game, but it is far to short. And the money Lucas art spent on it would have been better spent on Star Wars knights of the old republic 3. It would have also been alot better if it had a good story line as well.

- Great game
This game is the best I ever played, even though i wish it could be longer.
