Unfortunately, the difficulties of the earlier console version are along for the ride, too, such as the imprecise targeting that makes it too difficult to pick up the object you intended.
The best moments come by way of the Force grip power, which you use to lift objects and foes and fling them around, leaving a trail of death, destruction, and Wookiee corpses in your wake. As Galen Marek, aka Starkiller, you execute your foes by carving them up with your lightsaber, using your Force push ability to propel them down corridors and zap them with jolts of Force lightning. When the action comes together, it's hard to stifle your excitement.
For more details, check our full review of that version, as all of the ups and downs of the original release still hold true. The Force Unleashed's main campaign is the same as the one that appeared on consoles in 2008. The only thing that stinks more than the trash on Raxus Prime is this port. You might be lucky enough to avoid this troubled port's technical flaws and experience the full pleasures of The Force Unleashed, but be warned: Picking up a copy of this physics-heavy action game is one gamble that may not pay off. As Darth Vader's secret apprentice, you slice through grunting Rodians with your glowing lightsaber, go head-to-head with slobbering rancors, and punt jawas into the distance as if they were pigskins. It's too bad that so little respect was shown for the platform-and to those that will spend money on this product-because the underlying game is rather good. And frame rate troubles will haunt your every saber swing.
There is no antialiasing and no way to enable it. Aside from resolution and brightness options, there are no visual options to tweak. On its own, this isn't an awful fact, but it's an omen of bad things to come.
The first sign that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a mediocre port comes as soon as you boot up the game: you can’t navigate the menus with a mouse.
