GamesRadar: The Things The Force Unleashed.. won’t Unleash

This was a very interesting post from GamesRadar.com. I guess the last time they got to preview play The Force Unleashed, they felt a little, “stifled” because there was no blood, brutality and evil. Well in all fairness, mostly everybody loves blood, brutality and evil in games, but this is Star Wars not Nightmare on Elm Street.

Anyway the have put together a top list of things that The Force Unleashed should have, regardless, it is a good read. It’ll be interesting to see everybody’s comments.

In the long run-up to the release of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed this September, developer LucasArts has been making a big deal about how the star of the show will be the Force itself, cranked up to ridiculous levels and with no limits or constraints. Packed in along with that destructive awesomeness is a darker-than-normal storyline, which puts players into the role of Starkiller, a secret Sith apprentice raised by Darth Vader to travel the galaxy, hunt down surviving Jedi and murder them.

During our latest play session with The Force Unleashed, though, we couldn’t help but feel just a little stifled. TFU puts some hyper-destructive Force powers at your disposal, sure, but where’s the blood? The brutality? The evil? If you’re going to put nigh-unlimited Force power into the hands of a badass, totally amoral Sith lord, then you need to go all the way. With that in mind, here’s a wish list of things The Force Unleashed should include, but almost definitely won’t.

The list includes:

• Exploding heads
• Using the Force to get laid
• Lightsaber dismemberment
• Breasts
• Curb Stomping
• Mundanity
