GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

Just getting started in the Force Unleashed and have to say I understand the 7.5 we gave the game. . . it's gorgeous and fun and I like where it's going, but I just beat Kazdan Paratus and there were times when I wanted to hurl my controller at the screen.

I've never been in a battle where I felt so confined and trapped, and it was because I was constantly trying to move around the arena and the game wouldn't let me off of the immediate screen, even though there was plenty of room within the arena. That made it feel really cheap, because I'm trying to avoid things and can't.

I beat Kazdan on the third try, but it wasn't very satisfying, I felt like I hadn't ever really figured out the trick to beating him, I'd just been lucky. That's not a fun way to beat a boss. Regardless, props to Kevin for being willing to admit that it may have some great Star Wars and gameplay elements, but there are some things that are so broken that the score *must* reflect them.

I thought it was a very fair score. I got extremely frustrated at a few parts, and I'm pretty sure I did hit a few things. When I was fighting Shock Ti, I must have had to replay it about 6 times. SO damn annoying!

With the hype and all, everyone probably expected the ratings to be higher than it should. It is still a good game with minor flaws. The review definitely takes away the "overrated" comments.

I love the thought of you throwing the controller. A full grown man tossing controllers in frustration amuses me

Im passing on TFU so I can save my cash for some of the great games coming out next month. Fallout 3, Fable 2 and Saints Row 2 are must buys for me.

More and more, I'm being glad I held off.

The Camera on that fight is particullary bad. The other fights are okay though.

That game's camera and targeting glitches were infuriating...

I managed to beat kazdan by jumping around the arena and using force lightning on him whenever my force power recharged. It was not very fun.

Force Unleashed was a disspointment for me.... It won't sit alongside DarkForces/Jedi Knight Series but it will sit along with Rebel Assualt. I enjoyed the story more than Phantom Menace and some of Episode2/3..... which allowed me to keep playing because I was enjoying the story.

The gameplay I found was frustrating at times, and bringing down the Star Destroyer was bugged, I tried for 2 hours quit tried again and it took me 20 minutes. I did some research on the web and many had the same problem..

The decision at the end was annoying as it just felt anything you done had no bearing on the this moment like Jedi Knight Series or KOTOR... but for its faults, I had to play it because I thought the story was very good
