The Force Unleashed: More Reviews

Posted By Jay on April 1, 2008

On sale now is GamePro magazine's May 2008 issue, which features a cover story on The Force Unleashed. You'll find your standard descriptions of the game play, but this is also a Wii-centric article. There's the breakdown on the 27 different characters you can play in Duel Mode, including the double-bladed lightsaber wielding Darth Phobos, a punk looking female alien with big 80's hair, Darth Maul, Qui-Gon and about eleven different versions of the Secret Apprentice.

The article also shows the various ways the Force can be controlled with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, as well as side by side comparison screens of the Wii and XBox 360 versions. They admit the 360 version will look better, but the Wii has the advantage with the controllers. The article then focuses on the multiplayer advantage of the Xbox and PS3 versions.

You also get a sneak peak at some screens from the other Star Wars video game, or at least video game cameos, of Darth Vader and Yoda in SoulCalibur IV.

This magazine can be found at book and magazine stores across the states, and retails for $5.99.
