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 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.
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
