Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was marketed as an opportunity for players to live out their ultimate (Dark) Jedi power fantasies. Did the game succeed? Well, it certainly did commercially, leading to a sequel just two years later. Leon, Brian, Jon and community contributors polish their holocrons in a bid to convey what was successful and what wasn't about LucasArts' brace of stormtrooper-flinging lightsaber-fests.Music featured in this issue:1.

What a great show. It is quite strange that a game from 15 years ago can now feel like coming from a simpler (“more civilised”;-) time. A time where games were actually fun! Your summaries are quite charming as they illustrate how joyful these games from this console generation that feels recent but is actually quite a while ago now can be a blast despite all there flaws. It would have been great to delve into the differences between the PlayStation 2 and 3 versions which are quite substantial. For example the impressive opening scene where you play as Vader is set during night time on the old system. Maybe to hide more details. I have just started playing this old generation version recently and am looking forward to compare the versions for myself.

For anyone who enjoys The Force Unleashed I recommend Lord of the Rings The War in the North from 2011 which is a similar third person action game set in a beloved universe. I have very fond memories of this game that seems to have been forgotten. But similarly to Starkiller you can brutally and joyfully hack and slash through hordes of enemies - mostly orcs, who would have thought that. The story is the typical ridiculous fan faction like in the Star Wars case but again: the game is fun! My wife who is a non gamer generally played this game twice with me coop which says a lot.
