In this action feature you get to play on the other side, in the guise of Darth Vaders secret apprentice – Villian or Anti Hero?  Your role:  To assist your evil master, Darth Vader, remove the Jedi influence from the universe, and allow Darth Vader to rule supreme. 

While the game has come into criticism for not being the hard core gamers action, it is easy to play allowing all of us lesser mortals to play and enjoy.  The controls are much easier to use, requiring only the Wii control and Nunchuck and instead of having to memorise hundreds of button combinations or commands, simply relies on your ability to use your wrists.

Just a word of warning, when it comes to the devastation by Light Sabre, you may want to ensure that you have some room to move.  The action can be fast paced, and you may find yourself on your feet leaping and lunging your way through the pack. 

With the game play, you really can get swept away with the action.  The game gives an enjoyable experience making you a real part of the on screen action.  The Wii Mote acts as your light saber, allowing you to slash your way through your opponents and still seek more. 

Turn on the Dual mode, and you are ready to pit your light saber skills against your friends (or are they really the enemy?).  Once you have your skills down, you sould have a line of friends just waiting for their chance to challenge you.  The dual mode is only available on the Wii platform and not on other consoles.  The Force Unleashed’s combat mode is worth getting the game for alone, apart from the cool graphics, sound effects and general game ness of the total package.

As with past games, the visuals are fantastic.  Each world you visit is well detailed as one would expect from the Lucas crew.  Each villain is extremely well done leading to a great graphic experience.  Similar to previous Star Wars games, there is always a little frustration at some points with loose camera angles and the few occasions where you will find your self in a corner fighting some what blind and some repetitiveness is to be found.  However the game as a whole is worth while the time to play. 

If you are familiar with Mortal Kombat, then Star Wars, The Force Unleashed, has better graphics, light sabers and force powers – and don’t forget – You are on the Dark Side in this latest Lucas release.
