REVIEW: Star Wars Force Unleashed

I finally played the demo that was out for about a week now. I wouldn't say I'm satisfied but I wouldn't say I'm disappointed.

Right off the bat, my only complaint about the demo is that the 'force grip' took a little bit getting used to which I wasn't. There's even a tutorial to help you get used to it but I felt it wasn't enough. I still played through the demo hoping I'd finally get the hang of it, but I still didn't. Although it was fun throwing objects and lifeless bodies of stormtroopers around, it was still a little hard to aim for a direction you wanted it to go in.

There's a force meter which limits to how much 'force' you can use at one point, but thankfully it only takes about 3-5 seconds for it to be back to normal.

The gameplay is fairly easy and takes a bit getting used to. I found myself abusing unleashing the force (see what I did there?) too much to where I want to smash objects with each other to the point where I got kind of bored.

I'm a big Star Wars fan, and I'm most likely going to get this game when it comes out but I feel it might be a waste because there's a crapload of good games coming out in the third quarter of the year and I want to be able to play all of them without going broke.
