Description: Over the decades, Star Wars has grown from a simple film into a cult space saga with legendary heroes. Star Wars is a whole world full of amazing mysteries and secrets. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed lifts the veil of secrecy and provides answers to many exciting questions.
A revolutionary game for the series, it serves as a link between George Lucas’ two trilogies, connecting the third and fourth episodes. The master personally worked on the plot, so be prepared for intrigue, surprising discoveries and shocking endings. The ultimate embodiment of evil in the Star Wars universe has always been Darth Vader, but now a new persona is entering the scene. The dark lord’s secret disciple is still young, but in strength he is hardly inferior to the most experienced warriors.
The Empire entrusts its offspring with a responsible task – to destroy all the Jedi in the galaxy and destroy their famous Academy. Will the young follower of Darth turn into the same monster as his mentor, or change his path? Thanks to the latest technologies, unique solutions and an exciting plot from George Lucas, you will often feel like a participant in a spectacular film!
Features:
• Missing link. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed serves as a bridge between the two trilogies of the famous space saga and sheds light on the events that took place between the third and fourth episodes.
• Imperial intrigues. Darth Vader’s secret apprentice is sent on a fateful mission that could change the course of history. He is ordered to burn down the legendary Jedi Academy and destroy the noble knights. However, no one knows how his mission will turn out in the end…
• Power of the Jedi! Move objects through the air, strike enemies with lightning, grab and throw them into walls, deflect laser pulses with a lightsaber and master other incredible techniques! You haven’t seen anything like this even in films!
• New faces. For the first time in Star Wars history, new heroes are taking the stage. Unfamiliar Jedi and never-before-appeared villains harmoniously complement the fantastic picture.
• Familiar characters. You will meet your favorite characters, among whom Lord Vader himself occupies a place of honor.
• At the cinematic level. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed uses the latest technology to make the world around you look frighteningly realistic. Any object obeys all the laws of physics: a tree burns, water floods the available space, plants break from impacts. Features of the environment can be used to advantage in spectacular battles.
Review: Playability
More than a year has passed since the release of this game on consoles, and the PC audience no longer hoped to see this project on personal computers. But a miracle happened, recently an expanded version of this project was released on PC and a short time later it was published.
The game has many features that are inherent in Star Wars: travel through distant, distant galaxies, battles with laser swords, the use of unrealistic Jedi strength in various variations and a wide variety of other features inherent in this universe. The player can choose his own character from the rich universe of Star Wars.
The playability of the game is at the proper level – an interesting and simple plot, easy to understand controls, various levels. The developers have released a very successful and atmospheric slasher film that fully conveys the spirit of Star Wars. The game will allow you to have a good time and leave only positive impressions. This is especially true for Star Wars fans, who will simply be delighted with it.
Review: Game Graphics
The game graphics are not at the highest level and leave one wishing for a better picture. But despite this, the locations are quite meaningful and incredibly detailed, the lighting effects are not stuck in vain and create a pleasant perception. The character models are made at a quite acceptable level and leave only positive emotions.
I’m pleased with the good implementation of game physics, but it’s a pity that it does not apply to all objects, but only to those with which the character can interact. But still, even such a narrowly focused implementation is a little pleasing. They could have left her overboard…
In general, we can conclude that the game graphics look at a very average level and, coupled with good gameplay, will allow you to leave only good memories from the game.
Review: Resource-intensive game
The developers have not set very democratic requirements for the game, but we can please gamers and report that they are somewhat inflated. But there is an exception – to install the game on your hard drive, you really need 25 gigabytes of free space. The rest is very democratic: a Core 2 Duo 2.66 processor and about 2 gigabytes of RAM.
Testing at maximum quality settings at 1920×1080 resolution
All modern game accelerators can handle this game without any problems. But there is one small fact – the game has an internal limit of 30 frames, which may upset some gamers.
Conclusion: The game is made quite well and of high quality. The gameplay very vividly conveys the spirit of Star Wars. Due to its low resource consumption and excellent gameplay, it will appeal to many gamers.
