See the excerpt below and click here for the full perview. "...After playing through a few levels of The Force Unleashed last week, it appears that LucasArts may indeed deliver on its promise and give us a new look at the Force like we've never experienced..." "From the start, it's immediately evident that the control setup is put together in a way that allows you work with both your lightsaber and Force powers in a very smooth and cohesive manner. Two face buttons work your saber with quick and heavy attacks, while another unleashes a Force push, which is an incredibly effective way of finishing off a lightsaber combo. The right trigger makes use of the Force grab (releasing it then uses Force push), while the left trigger acts as a modifier for Force powers. For example, holding the left trigger while enacting a Force push will unleash an area push, shoving everything around you away from you, while using the left trigger with a lightsaber attack button will perform a lightsaber throw. The cool bit about the lightsaber combat system is that while you can quickly mash on buttons to dispose of an enemy, steady and timed presses will reward you with better combos. It's an interesting system that isn't apparent at the start, but once you start experimenting with it, you'll wind up finishing off enemies with a few more twists and slashes from your trusty saber." Source: EUCantina.net UPDATE: Click here to check out "Updated Impressions" of The Force Unleashed on the Wii over at IGN. Excerpt below... "Coming back to the controls, it must be said that movement control on Wii isn't as smooth as it could be at this stage (and with the game coming out in late September we're assuming it's not going to change much), with camera control in particular a bit of a weak point - one of the disadvantages of only having one analogue stick we guess. You won't always have the camera facing where you want, and there'll often be enemies shooting at you from off screen. This makes the dash move a little less effective than it could have been, and certainly impacts on the rhythm of the boss battles (despite the ability to 'lock on' by tapping down on the D-pad). Thankfully, we didn't have too many problems adjusting, and aside from mounted gun emplacements, which can mow you down pretty quickly, enemy blaster fire doesn't pose much of a threat from close range and is automatically deflected from a distance. Hooray for the Force. It's far from perfect, but you'll get used to it. You're also able to go into a first person free look mode by holding up on the D pad, which is useful for getting your bearings but still pretty clunky." email this story discuss in forums Select Date 2008, August 2008, July 2008, June 2008, May 2008, April 2008, March 2008, February 2008, January 2007, December 2007, November 2007, October 2007, September 2007, August 2007, July 2007, June 2007, May 2007, April 2007, March 2007, February 2007, January 2006, December 2006, November 2006, October 2006, September 2006, August 2006, July 2006, June 2006, May 2006, April 2006, March 2006, February 2006, January 2005, December 2005, November 2005, October 2005, September 2005, August 2005, July 2005, June 2005, May 2005, April 2005, March 2005, February 2005, January 2004, December 2004, November 2004, October 2004, September 2004, August 2004, July 2004, June 2004, May 2004, April 2004, March 2004, February 2004, January 2003, December 2003, November 2003, October 2003, September 2003, August 2003, July 2003, June 2003, May 2003, April 2003, March 2003, February 2003, January 2002, December 2002, November 2002, October 2002, September 2002, August 2002, July 2002, June 2002, May 2002, April 2002, March 2002, February 2002, January 2001, December 2001, November 2001, October 2001, September 2001, August 2001, July 2001, June 2001, May 2001, April 2001, March 2001, February 2001, January 2000, December 2000, November 2000, October 2000, September 2000, August 2000, July 2000, June 2000, May 2000, April 2000, March 2000, February 2000, January 1999, December 1999, November 1999, October 1999, September 1999, August 1999, July 1999, June 1999, May 1999, April 1999, March 1999, February 1999, January 1998, December 1998, November 1998, October TFU Demo On Xbox Live And PSN Posted By Mike on August 20, 2008: Updated!
