Gamespot has posted the Wii version of the developer walkthrough for The Force Unleashed. The Wii version looks pretty cool to and I am rather excited to test out the multiplayer mode.
LucasArts will be kicking of The Force Unleashed release with a party. Sounds like it should be a pretty cool time. Too bad they wouldn’t give out some free copies, but it’s not a total let down, you’ll be able to score some time playing the full version before it’s release.
“SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Sept. 5, 2008 — LucasArts, Sony Computer Entertainment America and Best Buy will commemorate the release of the upcoming videogame Star Wars: The Force Unleashed with an exclusive launch party, offering eager gamers a chance to celebrate the Saga and get their hands on the first copies of the game. The party, which will be held at the Best Buy store at 1717 Harrison St. in San Francisco on Monday, Sept. 15, will run from 7pm until midnight and will feature appearances by several very special guests, including:
Sam Witwer, who plays Darth Vader’s Secret Apprentice in the game and who also joined the cast of The CW’s “Smallville” this season; Adrienne Wilkinson, who plays Maris Brood, a dark and mysterious Jed; and Cully Fredrickson, who plays Jedi Master Rahm Kota, a militant General who is the target of one of the Secret Apprentice’s early missions
Executive Producer Haden Blackman, Art Director Matt Omernick, Lead Engineer Cedrick Collomb, Lead Content Designer John Stafford, Lead Systems Designer Rich Davis, and dozens of other members of The Force Unleashed development team at LucasArts

An entirely new chapter in the Star Wars Saga, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed casts players as Darth Vader’s “Secret Apprentice” and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The game’s expansive story is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist Vader in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi — and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.”
[...] for now, I’m gonna bone up a bit on the game — who knows, I might actually read the instructions this time! — and [...]
I’ve just got the game – enjoying it but the view/camera seems to jump about to much (on the Wii). The graphics are amazing though. And I feel bad about being on the dark side lol!
