It's good to be bad...
By Scrimble (1 review) from Teddington , 23 Sep 2008[Highly rated reviewer]
Jedis might get all the attention, but the real stars of the Star Wars universe have to be the Sith. Think about it: who’s more awesome, the goody-two-shoes farmboy, or the double-ended lightsaber wielding horror clown? Exactly. Now you don’t get to play as Darth Maul here, but you do get to play as a brand new apprentice to Lord Vader, and abusing the Force to decimate wookies, rebels and Stormtroopers alike is the pinnacle of evil fun.
The graphics and physics are exceptional, so when you use Force Grip to throw and enemy through a space station’s window and out into the vortex of space, it looks as awesome as it sounds. Chuck in a genuinely well-scripted and well-acted story, complete with beautiful cutscenes, and you’ve got the most impressive Star Wars experience since Knights of the Old Republic on the old Xbox.
The in-game camera occasionally places itself rather unhelpfully, and the Wii version's graphics don't compete with those on it's more powerful rivals, but Force Unleashed remains a great game even on the weaker platform.

Star wars: The force most deffiantley not unleashed on the WII
By wiiboarder (2 reviews) from York , 17 Feb 2010Having played this game on the PS3 i was quiet impressed, however this hasn't passed over to the Wii platform particularly well. It should have been a joy to wheel the wiimote as a light saber but this is just not the case with difficult controls to master and trying to combine the nunchuk and controller together just made this not an enjoyable experience and while i would score this game far higher on the PS3 it just doesnt live upto expectations on the wii.- Was this review helpful to you?

Episode 3.5
By Gavlovesfilm (45 reviews) from Nottingham , 21 Jan 2010Lego Star Wars set the precedent in this area: and this can't touch it.
This is little more than an interactive cut scene. A lot of the coolest bits are animated footage and not something you can control yourself
That said though I didn' t hate it.
It's good fun to throw the scenery around, destroy statues and slam enemies into each other.
BUT: the light saber action isn't particularly responsive despite boasting 5 different attacks. The graphics are rather ropey - a couple of times I ended up stood INSIDE a door and some of the larger monsters/robots stand in mid air if one foot lands on a raised platform.
The bosses are defeated by a combination of waggling either the wiimote or the nunchuk. It looks more like wii-maracas than fighting for the darkside.
Go and play Lego Star Wars instead- Was this review helpful to you?
