April 2, 2008 · Print This Article
This a great review article that GameSpot.com has posted. The review mainly deals the Wii version. The main points are the following:
- Duel Mode: All Secrets Revealed
- Control the Force
- Multiplatform Force!
- Wii vs HD: Do Looks Matter?
The duelmode looks really badass!
“Having had extensive hands-on time with The Force Unleashed for Wii, we can indeed confirm that the combat makes great use of motion-based lightsaber attacks.
Perhaps the most enticing feature of the Wii version is a new Duel Mode, which brings together almost every Lightsaber-wielding Jedi and Sith in a fast-paced versus fighting mode that incorporates all of the single-player mode’s moves into Power Stone-style brawls that take place in some of the most memorable settings in Star Wars history. Duel Mode was a happy surprise, and ended up being one of our favorite experiences in the Wii version of The Force Unleashed.
Your favorite characters. Your favorite planets. The Duel Mode in The Force Unleashed is the best Wii fighting experience outside of Smash Bros.”
Some of the characters you can use are:
- Apprentice (Bounty Hunter Disguise)
- Apprentice (Corellian Flight Suit)
- Apprentice (Father’s Robes)

Gamestop has even posted some of the controls for the Wii you’ll need to know! You can view them below.
The article then goes on to explain the graphical differences betweet the xBox360, PS3 and the Wii.
“It’s obvious that the Xbox 360 and PS3 have much higher graphic capabilities than the Wii, but seeing is literally believing. The character models are simply phenomenal (The Apprentice’s many costumes look gorgeously realistic), the effects of your Force powers pack a bigger punch thanks to elaborate special effects, and the environments look like they were practically ripped off the Star Wars DVDs. But don’t take our word for it; check out the “Do Looks Matter?” visual comparison on the next page.”
Be sure to check out the full article here. It was definitely a great read! Thanks for GameSpot for the terrific insight!
