NGamer article…Who wants to be a Sith Lord?…

January 30, 2008

NGamer magazine has released a great article on The Force Unleashed. This article talks about the differences between the consoles it’s going to be released, which inlcludes, the PS3 and 360 versions, and the Wii.

“Saber the light fantastic

As for controlling all of this destruction, the lightsaber isn’t mapped exactly to the remote, but on the plus side the remote and nunchuk act as your in-game right and left hand, respectively controlling the lightsaber and force powers.

There are five lightsaber movements with the remote: right to left, left to right, downswing, uppercut and stab. They respond extremely well, not to mention accurately, and getting your timing right results in some spectacular saber combos.

All of the force powers (with the exception of throwing the lightsaber) are controlled with nunchuk movements – the force push, for example, is triggered by thrusting it forward – while holding buttons switches to lightning and grab attacks.

The powers also upgrade, and can be combined for a variety of attacks. Special mention also has to go to the DS controls, where icons on the touch screen represent your powers and actions: you tap to activate them, but drag them together for 14 different combos.”

A new webdoc has been released which includes some plot decriptions as well as new footage! This game is looking better and better!
