Star Wars: The Force Unleashed has been a much anticipated game. Coming out right across the board on DS, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii and Xbox 360, players were wondering what kind of experience they would get due to the variety of platforms.
Well, during E3 Media & Business Summit they unleashed some more info about the game as well as a few videos on the different systems. We have videos on the PSP version, PS2 version and Wii version, that were all made at Krome Studios in Brisbane, and some behind the scenes stuff as well.
We got a heap of info from all the guys working on Star Wars: The Force Unleashed including this video showing off the engines used within the game. You can find more videos like this as well as other trailers for Force Unleashed in our File Library. If 'how it works' isn't what you're after, check out the Wii gameplay video at the end of the page, to find out more about that side of things.
You want the facts and we have them right here. Some of what you can expect from the game due out September this year.
The biggest talk about this game has been with the Wii version and the Wii-mote control system with the light saber. Well here is the video with some of the game play from the Wii.
(Remember you can also check out gameplay on the the PSP version or the PS2 version, if Nintendo's not your thing!)
I have a fear that the controls aren't what we were expecting, then again fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate. So maybe I'm starting to hate this game before it even comes out. The way the lightsaber moves didn't seem like someone was controlling it. More to the point there was barely any lightsaber action at all. I know force powers are cool and everything, but why have the lightsaber if you don't even need to use it? Maybe I'm being over critical, what are your thoughts on this? Do you think Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will live up to expectations? Or are you also starting to worry about this game? I would love to hear as many people's thoughts on this game as possible.

Force Unleashed Features
- During the period between Episodes III and IV, players hunt Jedi in the role of Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice.
- Unleash and upgrade the Secret Apprentice's four core Force powers - Force push, grip, repulse and lightening throughout the course of the game, and combine for ultra-destructive never-before-seen combos.
- Examples of unleashing the Force in ways never thought possible:
The Secret Apprentice won't just Force push enemies into walls, he'll Force push enemies through walls.
The Secret Apprentice won't just Force grip foes to throw them aside, he'll Force grip them in midair, zap them with lightening, then drop them to the ground to explode like a bomb.
- In addition to new adversaries created just for the game, such as fugitive Jedi and Force-sensitive Felucuians, players will also confront and associate with familiar faces from the Star Wars films, including Darth Vader.
- Visit locations such as Episode II's Wookiee home world Kashyyyk and the floral Felucia, the junk planet Raxus Prime, plus an Imperial TIE fighter construction facility.
- Decisions made by players throughout the game will determine the path of the story, including multiple endings that will rock Star Wars continuity as they know it.
- The Force Unleashed is LucasArts' first internally developed title for next-generation consoles, and it represent the first in-game collaboration of talents and technology between LucasArts and Industrial Light&Magic, two companies now finally under one roof at the new Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco's Presidio district.
- The Force Unleashed debuts Digital Molecular Matter from Pixelux and euphoria behavioral simulation from NaturalMotion Ltd.
