The Star Wars saga continues in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. You are Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice! The Dark Lord of the Sith himself has trained you to use a lightsaber and unleash the power of the Force, but now your destiny is your own. Will you join Vader as the next great Sith, or will you choose to defend peace and justice as a noble Jedi Knight? The expansive story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.
True to the Star Wars theme and there's lots of lightsaber wielding action for the Wii along with some button combo special attacks reminiscent of Street Fighter. You're not swinging the remote and having it appear on screen the same way but it's good enough with the special attacks to at least make you feel you are controlling the action.
My only gripe is there are times during fights with especially tough characters (i.e. other jedi) where the nunchuck does not respond correctly. I know it's a problem with the game and not the sensor bar because I have to use the Wii Remote the same way and it works perfectly.
In spite of that annoying problem I still recommend.

I purchased this game for my 8 year-old cousin who is a new star-wars fan. He was ecstatic. I've not spent much time with the game personally, but all the children in the family seem to thoroughly enjoy it.

We got this for my son for Christmas and he loves it. He is almost 13 and I was afraid that it might be too young for him but he has spent hours completely engrossed in this game. Great value!

I am not one of those guys who are all instincts and reflexes; I do not excel at arcade/action games. I found Unleashed pretty challenging right from the beginning, and I haven't gotten very far. Unleashed requires you perfect specific combos and moves in order to succeed. You must always push forward - there's no real opportunity to sit back and consider your moves, or retreat and regroup. Upgrades happen through enemy defeat and failure (death) penalizes you. I'm not very far along, but my enjoyment is waning.

Quite a challenging game! Being a novice, there was a lot to learn and a lot of digital manipulation required to master the "force"! I did get stuck in a corner by a door I can't open... sigh. But it was fun.

I'm enjoying the game thus far. The story is compelling and you'll see new and familiar faces from the Star Wars universe. The beloved Star Wars score is thankfully intact. Gameplay is fun. The swordplay is not without fault but then again I'm still getting the hang of the controls in general. Using the Force feels more natural. Although I'm only a couple of stages deep into the game I am impressed so far and am eager to play it until the end. I am in good shape but admit I was winded after slaying the first "boss." My parents enjoyed watching me wield the Wii'mote as much or more than the action on the screen.

Review 16 for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Wii)
Well this game is a very addictive game for sure. It has a very intense storyline and I feel it could easily climb the ranks IF it were made into movie form.
There are several different lightsaber hilts and many different color crystals. Which make the game more interesting. There are cheat codes available for this game, HOWEVER, I recommend playing through once w/o cheats and going back through with cheats and trying to find everything. The only complaint I have is that sometimes your combos don't register as combos. You will hit maybe once or twice and then stop even though you are still swinging your Wii Remote. That is not a big enough problem to keep from playing the game.
4 out of 5 stars

Fun New Star Wars Game

Fun new aspect of Star Wars. Is fairly challenging and as is standard practice for Wii games, this will get you on your feet & swinging. Good action quality, though there are some 'cut-scenes' that require little input from the controllers. I felt that these scenes would be a little more gratifying if they required more specific input from the controls rather than generic motions. Most force controls are very intuitive. All-in-all, a fun new Star Wars direction that puts the force in your hands (literally).
