Product description
-------------------
The saga of Starkiller, Darth Vader's secret apprentice, is far
from over as the best-selling Star Wars game ever continues along
the dark path. Apparently killed at the end of the last game, a
new clone of Starkiller has emerged and is being hunted by Darth
Vader and the Empire.
Building on the all-action gameplay of the original you'll be
able to take control of one of the most powerful Force users ever
seen in the Star Wars universe. Wielding twin lightsabres you can
now dismember enemies and use even more powerful Force powers,
including mind tricks and the new Force fury.A new targeting
system, more complex puzzles and even the chance to pilot a TIE
Fighter create a more varied and nuanced game than its
predecessor. With new state-of-the-art graphics and the darkest
and most emotional storyline ever in a Star Wars game the Force
will definitely need to be with you this time.

The Star Wars saga will continue in Star Wars: The Force
Unleashed, a videogame developed by LucasArts, which casts
players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to
unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive
story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during
the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge
of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players
will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe
of Jedi - and face decisions that could change the course of
their destiny.

As its name implies, The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines
the and scale of the Force. The Wii version will not only
give you a solid story-line developed by LucasArts involving the
Darth Vader's secret apprentice, but you'll experience a new
style of gameplay only the Wii can offer. With the Wiimote and
Nunchuk you'll be able to battle your way through your enemies
utilizing your Lightsaber attacks and Force powers. Not only can
you experience this new control system in story mode, but you can
also try your Jedi skills against a friend in the Wii, "Battle
Mode." Joining the Dark Side doesn't seem like such a bad idea
after all.
Game 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 lightning - throughout the
course of the game, and combine them 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 lightning,
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 Felucians, players will also
confront and associate with familiar faces from the Star Wars
films, including Darth Vader.
* Visit locations such as Episode III's Wookiee home world
Kashyyyk and the floral Felucia, the junk planet Raxus Prime,
plus an Imperial TIE fighter construction facility.
* The Wii system's "Battle Mode," a one on one fighting arena
simliar to the classic game, Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi.
* Use the Wiimote to slash and pierce your enemies with your Jedi
Lightsaber while you use the Wii Nunchuk to disable other
nents with your Force Powers.
* LucasArts is preparing an unprecedented promotional effort
around the launch of The Force Unleashed, encompassing a full
line of toys and game-based action figures from Hasbro, as well
as a full publishing program from Dark Horse, Del Rey and Palace
Press.
