Topic: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

You're really powering through.  I tried to stop and check every room.  You should have at least got unstable red.  They showed you were that one was.  As in the camera panned around the holocron.

Im a bit of a hot head like that...go in and kill everything and get my objective done as fast as possible...I might go and replay a few of the eariler levels before i finish the game.

(which im sadly quite close to)

Holy Crap!  I havn't even seen it on a shelf yet, and you dudes are amost DONE??????

ALMOST DONE!?!??!? Don't tell any spoilers....I'm getting it on Sunday and I don't want you guys to ruin it for me :P

Never... I dont want it ruined either....

I got it, but I've got to go, so I'll be short.

I'm on Raxus, and using a Gold blade. I've got a gold, yellow, and yellow compressed (what does that mean?). Thats all. I don't like Raxus though. Confusing and the enemies are tough. There are SO many Jedi holocrons in the manufacturing plant.

Finally beat it.  Dark side ending isn't all that great but the reward is freaking amazing.  The final costume is way better for dark side than light side.

I was excited when they had my voidsaber (they call it a black crystal lightsaber.  Lame. I found it and have been using it since. 

Revolutionary things going on in the canon ending though.  Still 50/50 on my feelings.  Won't reveal spoilers yet.

You didnt like the dark side ending?

Or did it freak you out to much?

(like it did me :P)

I just thought if you take the time to beat down the freak Vader, then you should be rewarded with an ending that is rewarding to you.

*SPOILER ALERT*

I hate how Starkiller is turned into a minion.  Although it does say something about Sidious.  He likes to be in control of his apprentices at all times.  He should have been able to destroy Sidious instead of being smashed by the Rogue Shadow.

On the plus side, Sith Stalker plus black lightsaber crystal is about as epic as you can get.

*END SPOILERS*

Nice. I'm now on Cloud city, and have since picked up unstable red, unstable gold, and blue. And a power crystal (the lightening one). I'm not doing that good for achievements, though. I loved fighting Shaak Ti. She was fun, but a bit easy.

I'm gonna get it tonight and I can't wait! It's gonna be awesome. I got the Order 66 book last night and I'm halfway through it too.

I have got it and while I have really enjoyed laying it on the Wii (The controls are great for this game) I hate how that when you save the game and then exit it puts to you to the start of the level again. I am still on the first level (the first level as starkiller)

I do not have the time to complete a level at a time. It has put me off playing it to be honest. It is totally unfair to those who like me cannot play the game for any length of time.

Also while I have been enjoying the game there is disappointment as well. I feel that this game could have been so much but like Darth Vader it has not reached its full potential. From what I have read about the game so far, there is no thinking involved, just killing. And while this is fun for a bit I was hoping that there would be more to the game than just this.

What EU characters are there for the Duel feature? Anyone unique?

I've not got....unstable and regular gold, unstable and regular red, compressed and regular yellow, purple and either unstable or compressed purple, and green. And 3 power crystals. No new costumes outside of level based ones. I'm on Felucia, Act two. Love this game.

You sound like you are getting on funkily WV :D

I think I am going to set aside a night or two a week where I can hopefully get a level done. (I really wish that the save system was better)

Its different for the 360 (the save system). And I'm actually taking it slow, compared to a lot of people. I'm fine with that. I'll probably beat it dark and light, in that order, with Dark as my main guy.

Its such an awesome game.

I was talking to a friend of mine today who rented the game and beat it in one day (six hours to be exact apparently)*  I'm definitely going to only rent the game now due to the lack of multiplayer as well.

* This is up for debate, as the guy may or may not have been high during the conversation.

I should have just rented it

It was fun, but more of a Episode 3 fun....Not worth 60 bucks that could have went towards something else

It gets repetitive, especialy in the big thing kill area, ive seen the same events for just about every big creature at least twice, if not a whole lot more. Dont get me wrong, its fun, but the lack of multiplayer is a let down, and all you can do is kill the same types of dudes over and over after you beat it. Not much replay value....

SHUN THE NON-BELIEVERS!  SHHHHHHUUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!

But seriously the lack of anything to do after the campaign like you said was a huge letdown.  I don't understand why it would be so hard for the developers to add a duel mode.  You already delayed the game 500 times what's would have been another one delay?  *twitch*

Replay value is really only collecting holocrons and that gets dull very fast.  Most of them weren't even challenging to get.

Somewhat, but I'll definitely beat twice, and replay a number of levels. Multiplayer would have been awesome, but...

I found some holocrons REALLY hard to get and just had to leave them behind...:(

Now im STUCK trying to bring down the SD and I cant get it done before i have more TIEs after me.... then by the time i get them taken down i have to start over with the ship....

its so hard....

I want to cry...

@ non-replay value: The game has challanges in the START menu, (i suggest playing them on hardest difficulty to make them last longer)

Try beating the game on the hardest difficulty (the difficulty setting you have to unlock to get)

Check out the differnt kind of combos that are avalible, I still havent been able to pull all of them off.

Max out you powers and go PWN everything insight

*SHUN*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

anyway yeah I would of liked a duel mode, and even a survial mode on co-op, but anyways...deal with it. I did :P

Wow, you guys are obsessed......The thing about this is that theres nothing to do after challenges. and theres nothing to do after campaign. No multiplayer. So unless they make more levels, which they wont when they can just make another game and make $60 off of it, i might as well just sell it. It was fun, but i feel like I wasted $60 bucks i could have used on, I don't know, clothes or something like that

All the holocrons can give you is a few costumes I guess and lightsaber crystals. Oh and EXP but you can get that by smashing stuff :P

I got it for PSP and I am going to get it on 360 soon. THe PSP version is so much fun! The graphics aent amazing (duh, it's a PSP) but all of the extra modes that aren't on the consoles make up for it. You can be a ton of characters that aren't in the console versions too, such as:

*Mace Windu
*Obi-Wan Kenobi
*Qui-Gon Jinn
*Anakin Skywalker
*Darth Maul
*Darth Desolous
*Darth Phobos
*Asajj Ventress
*Aayla Secura
*Count Dooku

And more.....

Nice. I don't even recognize Desolous and Phobos.

Found the Sith Robes, and they look awesome. I barely got to play today, though.

Thought you'd like to see photos of the Lucas Arts - Natural Motion The Force Unleashed Release Party for the Game Programmers in Oxford. This was an event attended by KOTE and KOTE Mandos.

Hope you like them.

cool pics. i won't get this game unless they release it on PC. i'll gladly go to my friend's house and play it there, but unless it goes on PC, no buy from me.

I too wish they had released it on the PC. I would have been able to play it without too much troubles (the save problem with the Wii has really put me off :( )

Having said that I cannot play it on the Wii at the moment anyway, as my darling daughter decided to ram a disc into our Wii. And while we have managed to get the extra disc out The force unleashed can not be unleashed from me Wii (sorry I could not resist that one ;) ) I will have to take the Wii apart tomorrow to see if I can get it out. Hopefully it has not been damaged.

Thats not good. I hope its  fine.

Beat it today, light side. The ending was good, and the darkside ending (via youtube) wasn't half bad either.

The Jedi Adventurer robe and Jedi Ceremonial Robes are both awesome, and while I have the black saber, I lost my Sith Robes, and want to use it with them. So yeah.

The thing I liked about the Xbox version were some of the achievements you could get.  I've become addicted to trying to get a bunch of the achievements in the Xbox 360 games now.  I finally almost got them all in Halo, and they all of a sudden decide to add a bunch more you can get.  I almost screamed.  I also love trying to find all the "Kilroy was Here" graffitti in the Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway game.  Some of those are hard to find.  Anyway, off on a tangent.

Anyway, at the opening of the game, when you're playing as Vader, you can get the aptly named (if anyone's ever watched Chad Vader: Dayshift Manager) "Worst Dayshift manager ever" achievement if you take out enough stormtroopers. 

Have you guys seen any of the easter eggs in the game?  When you're in the first level, in the Tie Fighter manufacturing plant, when you first go out into the open walkway where they have the TIE's flying around and shooting at you, go to the end of the first walkway on the right, jump up on all those boxes at the end of the walkway, and there is a Scorch helmet hidden on top of the area up there.

They also have an X-wing on Raxus Prime you can lift out of the muck, a nod to the Dagobah scene in Empire (it just sinks again after you let go----do or do not...there is no try), as well as some C-3PO pieces on the ground when you first land on the planet, in pieces like he was in Empire.  When you escape from the Imperical, they announce that "subject 1138" has escaped.  On Imperial Kashyyk, check out the hut with all the trophies.  It has Jar Jar in carbonite (justice is served), and some other famous Star Wars creatures heads mounted on the wall, like Salacious Crumb, those mosnters from the Ewok Adventure, a Krayt Dragon, a Dionoga, and some others.  On Imperial Raxus Prime, you can also see a Millenium Falcon style freighter in the wreckage, as well as some of the prequel style star destroyers.  Very nice touch. 

So, which level do you like the least?  I know trying to kill off that 2nd Jedi was hard as crap for me.  What sicko designs these things?  First you almost kill him, then comes the trash monster droid, you have to almost kill him again, then another monster droid, then you finally can kill him for real.  I almost put my controller through the TV on that one.  Shaak Ti was surprisingly pretty easy.  Haven't gotten to the Star Destroyer yet, but they said the thing to do is hide behind the pylons so you don't get hit from TIE Fighter fire, then catch one when it gets close enough, then hurl it into another TIE fighter until they're gone, so you can force grip the star destroyer.  Rinse, repeat, until it comes crashing down.

I saw the trophys and thought they were great! Jar Jar especially.

Im STILL stuck on the SD. I think they should have made part a bit different. Like less TIEs, or easier to get the ship into position, or have it stay where to put it. Thats really whats got me kriffing mad and made me want to stick my fist through the 360.

This is my open call for tips! ( or cheats even... i just want past it at this point....)

I beat the game last Tuesday, and then I spent a while sniffling and feeling depressed.

I have the Wii version, and I love it! My favorite power is anything to do with lightening. :D heheh... burn, buuurrrnnnnn!!!!!! fire fire fire burn burn burn heheh....

I'm reading the book now and it's very good!!

I had a question about a level, but I'm not sure what our spoiler setting is right now in this thread? Anyway, just in case: SPOILERS BELOW!!!!

Why were there Mandalorians in the Cloud City level? Especially seeing as how in that point in time there were no Mandalorians...

What Mandalorians? I don't believe they were in the 360 version. But they were around then. They were just weak. The Mandalorians never really died.

Si, when the TIEs come, go off to the sides, and grab them as they go by, and try to throw them into each other. That's what I did. And you don't even have to get the SD to Raxus's surface, just grip it a bunch, following the arrow directions, and eventually it comes down. Pretty randomly too. Like it was floating up there, I grabbed it, and was wrestling it, but it was still straight in the air. It was weird.

I didn't like Raxus, Act 1. Kazdan Paratus was one of the harder bosses in the game. Umm...some of the Imperial levels weren't as fun.

GOD this game is the BEST! I cant believe the detail in the game! The gameplay is extreemly fun as well! :D I beat it yesterday on my friends Xbox.........and I chose the CANON side.......which is the light side. This is probably one of the best Star Wars games ever made.

What me and my friends find interesting, is that if you choose the dark side........you become Sidious' servant until a new apprentice comes along. Of course this isnt canon, but it brings room for a whole new Non-canon Force Unleashed game. It would probably start off after your in the suit you aquire after killing Vader, and you start missions for the Emporer. That would be cool.

TW

A Mandalorian was the boss for that level, and you have to take down several other ones throughout the level. I don't know why they wouldn't be in the 360 version, who's the boss in that version? In the Wii one he's riding a Basilisk (or whatever, the flying droid things) and everything.

I havent read the book yet, but I have played that level on the 360, are we sure they are Mandos? I thought that they were more of like sith acolytes, like in KotOR. Or they could be special Imperial Guards as their helms have slit like helmets too.

I've taken a break from it to calm down. I was getting crazy obessed with it, wasnt passing the SD level yet so ...... I'll be trying again as I HAVE to beat this game.

Nope, just some of Palpatine's Senate Guards and a Shadow Guard. Nobody much.

one thing we should have all learned by now is theres never "no mandalorians"

The Basilisk thing is the Uggernaught and driven by ugnaughts.  I'm pretty sure that's what you mean...

Nope, Wii version has totally different gameplay locations. The Mando she's referring to 's name is Chop'aa Notimo. He also did make use of a Basilisk War Droid, sucks he wasn't in PS3 or 360 versions. :(

Yes, it certainly does.  That's the level I'm on now, and I was looking forward to seeing what they look like.  Anyone have a screen shot of these guys?  I'm surprised they don't have one on here yet.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Chop%27aa_Notimo

Later.

so its only on the ps2 version?

And Wii, at least. Not sure what else.

Notimo is on the PSP version too.

(This is my 900th post. Just 100 more until my 7th star)

And Si, the easiest way to bring down the TIE fighters is to double jump and then use force lightning when the targeting icon appears.

Good, so I wasn't imagining that they looked like Mandalorians and had the word "Mandalorian" as their enemy target title.

Nope. That'd be hard to imagine. :D

On the Destroyer part, I actually found it easy to run to the right, grab them and throw them into each other. But I hadn't tried lightening.

Same here...cept i ran to the left.

I still havent killed a TIE fighter with lightning yet...

I never tried throwing them into each other.

The cutscene after you bring the SD down is awesome though.

I like throwing, because its at least one, sometimes two, with one grab. And I tried lightening on one in the Tie Factory, and it just sparked. I dropped it, and two hundred yards down it was still alive.

I might play through as dark, on Sith Lord, but I'm not sure.

The lightning sometimes chains between the fighters when they attack you, so you might get 3 if your very lucky. Most of the time I got 1.

Well then I knew I wasn't crazy for wanting the Wii edition.....
