So after playing TFU for about 3hrs. last night, i’ll have to say that I was (very) satisfied by the end product save for the minor and insignificant details that were overshadowed by how great the experience was.
This is the best SW game I’ve played since “Battlefront II” for the regular Xbox. It’s definitely better that any of the Jedi Knight games. The games’ more like Jedi Knight on steroids with really good gameplay and replay value.
The Force powers are incredible. They’re unlike anything I’ve seen before. Sure they seem overpowered but that what the games about: The Darkside of Force unleashed at its fullest potential and fury. There are dozens of Force power and moves to unlock, as well as other goodies.
The story’s really good too. Even thought I know what’s gonna happen cause I read the graphic novel, it still draws me in cause it’s interactive now.
So my apologies if I’m not following the SW hate trend by saying it sucks just because it’s has to do with SW even if it’s good game, just to seem different and rebellious cause I has a huge fan base with how obviously popular SW is. Think what you want but I say this games’ great. The graphics on the second stage were crazy on that junk planet. I was so amazed by the visuals on that stage that, before starting the stage, and right where I stood, I looked around to view the landscape for about 10 secs.
I liked that the games not your average/generic hack and slash game. The A.I./npc’s in it really engage you and make you think fast (if you put in on hard like I did, anyway) You have to block, engage many of them at the same time or lose energy fast. Sometimes you have o use all you got with them. Like for example it was me against like 10 of them and they got me a couple of times until I had to rethink and really engage them much more effectively and faster than before with all I could by slashing twice at one, turning completely around behind me to use force push on someone else, then I’d jump and turn and electrocute 2 others, land, slash them to death, jump away, land, Force pick up someone else, throw him into the group, dash at them and it just keeps going on and on from there with different ways, from of the top of your head, till you off them all. And that’s good gaming when it happens like that.
What I didn’t like about the game were the loose controls. But you got used to them and soon enough you end up playing just as well as if they were tight. You’d naturally adjust. I also didn’t like the camera with how it acted up. It got frustrating having to simultaneously adjust Starkiller, the camera, and that blue Force indicator that’s on objects, that flickers and disappears if your not positioned just right sometime, all while getting stomped mercilessly and dying, at times, while trying.
I’ll admit, I like SW (kind of alot) so I may seem bias with this post but I think id’a enjoyed this game very much even if I ‘ve never even heard of SW before cause it’s just a really fun game to play, imo.
I give this game a 9/10. That’s the highest rating I’ve ever given a star wars game.
