For some powers, like the initial Force Grip, the gesture is shown on the screen above the target - a helpful reminder. Each is activated by a unique gesture we need to draw on the screen at the appropriate time. That's our job, deflect laser fire, and show boxes, Droids, Storm Troopers, Rebels, and Jedi alike the true power of the Dark Side.Ī tutorial starts off the game to teach us the basic Force Grip (a choke) and Throw, and as we progress, new tutorials teach us Force Push and Pull, Force Heal, Mind Trick, Dark Force Lightning, etc. So what can we do? Stand there, get attacked, and have to deal with defense and counter.

Like Space Ace and Dragon's Lair (Wikipedia them) and some of the older Star Wars PC games, cut scenes and the computer move us from situation to situation. To their credit, THQ has leapt headlong into multi-touch.Ī word of warning (and potential deal breaker to some): We don't have any influence over where our Sith anti-hero goes.

I played the PS3 demo over the weekend, which uses a conventional control pad scheme. for a mobile game, and outstanding for a phone game. Not that the game as a whole shoots for realism, just that it doesn't present a unified feel.Īlso, I did have the same jitter issues I had with the sound, and while the force quit memory clean-up helped, it didn't make it perfect.īottom line though? This game looks great. Vader in the beginning, the lush yet animation-style (i.e. With regards to the art direction: some aspects are.

I'd say Xbox and PSP were a bit of an overstatement as well, but having played me some Goldeneye 64 back in the day, these are on-par in the polygon pushing department, though the text-mapping is predictably - and happily - more advanced. It's nowhere near the PS3 version, of course, so if you're expecting that, check yourself into real-hab immediately. Given that split focus, how do the Force Unleashed's graphics hold up in the actual mobile world? Surprisingly well. That's all fine and dandy in the theretical, but the iPhone isn't dedicated - it's pushing your data, managing your networks, and doing all sorts of other things behind the scenes because, game or no game, you want the phone to ring when you have a call. (Although given the poor excuse for James Earl Jones the big consoles get, it could actually be a blessing!)ĭevelopers, including some big-timers, have thrown out comparisons between the iPhone and the Nintendo 64, Xbox, PSP, and other dedicated gaming consoles and handhelds. It's strange to see on a device that can easily handle hour upon hour of podcast, but let's just assume it's a limitation of mobility and move on.

Instead, we get text screen dialog after text screen dialog, in tiny, thin font. Strange that an iPod-based device could have sound issues, unless games are handled differently? I had some issues with stuttering, but a force quit (hold down Home for 10 seconds) cleared it up. It all comes through well on the iPhone's "casual listening" speaker, and better still with earphones. Except for the aforementioned Jawa theme, it still works for me. That's either made it endearing or maddening, depending on your point of view. Now, the themes and effects are all classic to the point of being repeated pretty much endlessly for the last 30 years.

It's John Williams and Ben Burtt, you nerfherders! Of course we wants us some sound! While it's nice to have options, and absent ear phones maybe it helps a little with battery life, but. Right from the start, we can choose whether we want sound on or not. Think of it as the Force Unleashed: Crib Notes Edition. The Mobile version is cut way down from its big platform brothers, and ultimately doesn't last as long as we'd have liked. If you've seen the game trailers, however, where whole Star Destroyers get pulled from the sky, you know this isn't n00b Luke or aged Yoda or wasted Windu. Keeps things nice and simple, at least to start. We play said apprentice, and right from the start, we're told not to leave any witnesses alive - Imperial or Rebel alike.

Anakin is Vader and in grand Sith tradition, he has taken on a "secret apprentice" and begun his schemes to kill the Emperor. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed takes place after the events in Revenge of the Sith and before Star Wars (a New Hope).
