Star Wars: The Force Unleashed NDS Review

Hello Kingdumbheartness here with another review, this time on a Star Wars game...This is it, The shit-stopper, one of the shortest games ever made...even shorter than Super Mario Bros on the NES...this is...
Star Wars Force Unleashed 2-NDS: Review made by Thomas Griffiths/Kingdumbheartness/Arceusavenger
GRAPHICS AND REPLAY VALUE: the graphics are worse than MJ The Experience on NDS, its basically just 2d graphics and not that many cool special effects. The Backgrounds are dull after the first 3 levels and get repetetive. Unlike the other versions of the game This one has no unlockables, so no collectibles so there is no point replaying levels. The Cutscenes are basically drawings, with sound and on the rare occassion a home console like videoclip of Starkiller killing something.
You Think This looks fun...it isn't
the graphics of the characters and robots are badly constructed and the only relative replay value in the game is replaying the final to get both endings.
So the graphics and Replay value are rubbish....what about...
THE GAMEPLAY: You use the stylus to slash people with a lightsaber by drawing lines repeatedly on your foes, the problem with this, combined with the force powers is that its incredibly easy to kill anything in the game...so instead they toss loads of them at you at once...which would be alright, if it wasnt for the fact that you could blast them all with force lightning, stunning them for a second, which would give you plenty time to kill lots of stormtroopers...in fact there are only 9 types of enemy in the game...Stormtrooper, Starkiller clones, Vader, Some giant Monster thing, red coated stormtroopers (i think), a giant robot boss (see screenshot above)some teleporting trooper, Carbonate shooting robot, Rocket firing robot...Each of them easy (Especially vader)
The force powers are accessed using icons in the top right corner of the touch screen, select each on and tap or drag the stylus to use them. There are certain areas in the game which require you using force powers, which would be interesting puzzle moments....if not for the fact that they tell which power to use and where.
The game has a XP system which is pointless because, whenever i level up, i notice no difference in my stats, Health or Force Bars or force powers.
So Yeah, so far there is nothing really redeemable with the game but since its Star Wars it must have a good
STORY: This has to be, the single, most crappiest Star Wars storyline ever, also the shortest...in fact, this version is even smaller than the Home console versions, which had about 9 levels...
The story begins with Starkiller, who doesn't know if he is a clone or not, so he runs out of Kamino in a fit, killing stormtroopers on the way.He aims to find Juno Eclipse (His Girlfriend) and prove he's still alive, Meanwhile saving Rahm Kota from a Gladiatorial arena, then he goes to Dagobah and meets yoda, who is like "mmm Vision you have...Piss Off" so Starkiller does what Yoda says and finds Juno's starship under attack by Imperials and Boba Fett, who then kidnaps Juno and takes her to Kamino, luring Starkiller to Vader...So Rahm summons a rebel fleet and they all bombard Kamino, which is weak for some reason, he then confronts vader, who you attack a bit, defeat starkiller clones, repeat a couple of times then cutscene of Vader throwing Juno out of a window, then you fight for the final time, when he attacks, dodge and wait till he finishes the attack, then you have to use a certain force power to hurt him, but to actually hurt him, knock him into a lightning tower and he will be electricuted, repeat and eventually he will fall...then you have a choice, for light ending let Vader live, for Dark ending Let him Die...It doesnt matter which you choose because you can just replay the boss fight and get the other ending easily.
Anyway all in all the plot doesn't focus much and goes all over the place so that is why i rate it overall...
Next Review...Sonic Colours Wii

  1. Yet again, a very informative review... and you pretty much summed it up. I think 1/10 is a bit to generous personally, -1/10 in my opinion. Can't wait for the sonic colours review XD
