Product Description

Platform: Nintendo DS | Edition: Standard

The next chapter in the Star Wars saga, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, tells the story of Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice, a mysterious figure trained by the menacing Sith Lord, to hunt down the last of the Jedi. Set in the dark times between Episodes III and IV, the story is both a continuation of the prequel trilogy -- exploring the aftermath of Order 66, which called for the immediate execution of all Jedi, and focusing on the continued rise of Darth Vader -- and a direct bridge to the Original Trilogy. The Force Unleashed will forever change the fate of the Galaxy and explain key plot points that directly lead into events in Star Wars: A New Hope. With The Force Unleashed , LucasArts not only introduces a new chapter in the Star Wars saga, but also two completely new and innovative technologies -- Digital Molecular Matter by Pixelux Entertainment and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. These groundbreaking technologies combine with Havoc physics to create true next-gen game play and the Force like it's never been seen or experienced before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Game Yet for the DS, September 28, 2008

Too many people are comparing the DS version to the Xbox 360 or PS3 version. You can't do that and be unbiased. There is no way the game can be rendered or played the same way on the DS as it is on the stationary console systems. I own it for both DS and 360 and it's a great game for both. But I think as far as DS games goes it really shines. Beautifully rendered graphics for the DS, excellent sound, and a wonderful storyline. If you're a DS buff like myself and enjoy portable games more than console games this is a must own for your favorite pocket pal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the best, but certainly not the worst, August 6, 2009

This review is from: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Video Game)

I've been the market for a while for a awsome star wars game, I have seen lethal alliance; to kidish there is no challenge to it. Lego starwars was fun, but for a true star wars fan such as myself, it's non canonical therefore its not the one I'd be looking for.
Jedi alliance had a good storyline. But I'll let everyone out of the dark: Asoka is not real! Anikan had no apprentice (exept for starkiller of course) also nightsisters usualy have energy swords, which are lightsaber proof but defenately not lightsabers. Plus I don't believe nightsister's where powerfull enough to do such a thing to coruscant. So that one is not perfect either.
Of course it would take to long to discuss every star wars game for the d.s but those are the most popular.

For you non star wars gamers who just want some star wars authenticity just by this one for starters. It's the only star wars game that really stays in the ground rules (that I have played anyway) here on amazon you can buy it for only twenty dollars. Everywhere else is thirty five dollars so buy it here. Secondly it has great combos you can do to your enemy's for example you can push them into the sky and land on their friend's, or throw them into a ball of lightling. Plus the enemy's (yes even the stormtroopers) are hard to take down unless you do a really powerful attack on them. There are more than one bosses in each level and they come when you least expect it.
You can unlock costumes such as sith stalker armor or jedi adventurer robes. Your ship the rouge shadow has a nava computer, which enables you to find interesting facts about the planet your about to land on. I your journey you start out with the red lightsaber crystal and you must search for the rest and believe me they are not easy to find.
Now all this time I have only shown you the pro's now its time for the con's. The bosses are not too hard and the graphics are not all that good. But that's all, so I hope this review will be helpful to all who read it.

p.s May the force be with you always.

This review is from: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Video Game)

I saw A steal on this game on amazon.com so i bought it ,i was impressed by what i saw. I began the game as darth vader on a misson on the wookie planet: to kill the remaining Jedi. after a deul between the Unnamed jedi and vader the jedi suffers his fate.when vader saves his son the young boy becomes the apprentace of vader. the game follows the story of the boy till his end. there is a good storyline to this game along with a twist at the end. the grapics of the game are good for the ds about that of Iron man or guitair hero. the gameplay is good with ever changeing combonation moves you unlock and new enimys in every level this game is a top in my collection. i would not reccomend this game for young kids because of the gameplay it sis all touch screen and it is hard to master.the T rateing is not needed the violence is not very intence you mainly fight aliens and plant creatures, the only people you fight is the storm troopers and lets be honest the needed to be beat up and taught a lesson! this game is a top buy may the force be with you.
