It really doesn’t matter how you fight enemies until you get later in the game when it’s imperative to master all the skills.Īt the end of this level, your character enters as Darth Vader’s secret apprentice doing his will in destroying the remaining Jedi. If there’s a couple enemies coming at you, just force push one off the balcony and force impale the other. There is a lot of diversity with the way you can approach each enemy. The first level is mostly a tutorial mode where you play through the level as Darth Vader slowly picking up the various controls and force powers. Darth Vader is sent to the wookie homeworld of Kashyyyk, to hunt down one of the remaining Jedi. The game starts off with the classic Star Wars scrolling text that explains how the galaxy is in turmoil and the galactic Empire is the new order. Despite the lack of visual flare, I couldn’t stop playing through the many areas in the Star Wars universe we’ve come to know and love. It looks like they used PS2 graphics with barely any added particle effects except for maybe some of the cutscenes and the lightning.

The game runs in 16:9 widescreen with decent visuals, but the Wii can definitely do better. One of the first things Wii owners will notice about the game, is it’s lack of visual polish. I’m not usually deterred by what game critics say about a game and I couldn’t help my urge to swing the Wiimote around in crazy patterns to ‘unleash’ the force. Last Tuesday morning, I picked up my copy of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, even after seeing many mediocre reviews for the game.
