Xbox 360 - if you could post a link on your site that would be very much
appreciated.

*/There's been a deliberate structure built in to this review and of the
three pages you've just read you'll have probably noted that the first
two say that The Force Unleashed is a good game. The last page however
doesn't, getting stuck on the issues that plague the game.

The reason for this is quite simple and that's that this is what playing
/ /The Force Unleashed is like. Two thirds of the game -- the cool
effects, the story, the graphics and the sheer joy of it all -- is all
very well done and enjoyable. It's engaging and you really want to play it.

The final third however isn't quite so graceful, proving to make use of
all the elements of game design that gamers have come to hate over the
years. Arcade style bosses who swarm you with cheap bully-tactics and
who don't let you recover during a fight? Inescapable cutscenes and
pointless quicktime events that add absolutely nothing? Check and
double-check.

It's a shame really, because / /The Force Unleashed is a pretty good
game. Not essential playing perhaps, but enjoyable certainly and with a
faithfulness that makes it as worthy of accolade as //Jedi Knight. These
few flaws make parts of the game really annoying though and in the end
that does hold the final experience back./

*Cheers guys!
