My excitement has grown for the upcoming game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, after they put the demo on XBL. September 16th can't come soon enough.
The day the demo came out, I had some serious internet problems -- which didn't allow me to download it. I could see on my friends list all my friends playing it -- and they were all messaging me telling me what an amazing demo it was (short, but sweet). One even went as far as saying it's the best game they've played all year, and it's just a demo. I was in tears over the deal, incredbily upset over the fact I couldn't play it.
The next day my internet was still messed up, so I lugged my 360 over to another persons house and downloaded it there.
From the first moment that the Lucas Arts logo comes across the screen, I was holding my breath.
There were a few things I disliked and liked about the demo,
The Unlimited Power and Increased Damage were pretty neat -- I went through the demo a few times without picking up the triangles and it was significantly harder. Makes me wonder what other power ups the game is going to have.
Being able to drop a Tie Fighter in the hanger on unexpecting Troopers, was awesome. Actually, scratch that. Everything there is to do in the hanger is pretty sweet. You really get to test your powers out with everything in there.
I wasn't a fan of the targeting, until you got ahold of the how to use the camera angle in order to change the targeting it was kinda difficult. (That was frusterating the first couple of times trying to move the walk way braces in order to knock down the Tie Fighters after Eclipse announced to keep an eye out.) But as far as the other controls go, the game is incredibly smooth.
The first few times I played it, I had issues with the first cutt scene and the voice acting not matching up. But it only happend a couple times and might just be my 360 (It's a launch system and it's starting to act up a bit..)
And the amount of attacks you have, hopefully as the game progresses you'll have the ability to really change and alter the different attacks and styles you have based on how you level him.
And I played it on the three difficulties that weren't locked. Apprentice, Sith Warrior and Sith Lord -- and to me there wasn't that big of a difference as far as the AI went.
And the last thing I didn't like? And this my friends, is the biggest one.
It was too freakin' short. :(
I've probably played the demo close to 10 times now -- probably more than that by the time you're reading this. 24 days is too far away, but I've already taken off the 16th and the 17th. I'm ready to play :)
What's your views on the demo? Are you excited about the game? Pros and Cons? I want to know :)
[EDIT: they actually put up the themes and gamer pictures up for it. so you can rock the characters as your theme or even your gamer picture right now. :) ]
