So I just bought Star Wars: The Force Unleashed last night after some hesitation concerning some poor reviews.

However, I can confidently say that this game is awesome and everything in it makes you feel like a badass. You do a force push and five enemies go flying while structures shatter and bend away from the power.

so who else bought this electronic video game? or video juego, if you will

    I'll probably buy it when it gets a price drop or greatest hits edition.
    The demo didn't do it for me.

    I do hate it when we agree on stuff, Nevs.

    I was excited for it, then I played the demo and I was less excited. Now I'm not sure.

    There were certain parts of the demo I really liked
    Example: Throwing a TIE fighter down the length of the hangar with Push

    As someone who can't afford to buy every game that interests them, I don't think I will pick this up. I would definitely want to rent it with a friend though, as some of the aspects of it sound great.

    I will say that the level they gave you in the demo didn't really display how awesome the force powers are

    the very first level where you play is Vader more accurately shows how many things you can destroy and how awesome it looks. I was pretty disappointed by the demo myself, but the full game really is a blast.

    You're always on the fence. Sometimes I just think you like sitting on fences.

    I'll buy this if they make a wii version. And it doesn't suck.

    They did make a Wii version!

    it probably sucks though

    so, 50%

    I don't want to yank it out. I want it to fly far, kill a lot of people in one throw, and return to me.

    Weirdly, The Xbox 360 and Wii versions have gotten the exact same score on metacritic
    http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/starwarstheforceunleashed
    http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/starwarstheforceunleashed
    Both average but for different reasons
    Xbox 360= Fun to watch
    Wii= Fun to play

    so I think the best part about this game is when your friend saves over your game

    and you get to do it all over again

    it's fucking great guys. so. fucking. great.
