Force Unleashed demo unleashes soon photo

According to 360fanboy, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will be available on the Xbox Live Marketplace August 21st. Despite all of the recent issues with staffing, it seems as if LucasArts is still on schedule with the game considering that the demo was promised to hit about this time last month. The demo will have a tutorial mode that demonstrates how to use the infamous Force Grip power and will take place in an early level dubbed TIE Fighter Construction Facility. Apparently, it’s up Vader’s apprentice to hunt down a Jedi General named Rahma Kota who is leading a siege against the facility and to leave no witnesses in the process.

Dyson had an opportunity to check out the game last month at LucasArts and his impressions were decently favorable. We all know that fans of Star Wars will eat this game up like candy, but I’m becoming very cautious with this title. A lot of Star Wars titles have had great concepts but almost always boil down to very little substance. Hopefully, this trend can break and my brain can finally forget the travesty that was Star Wars: Galaxies at some point.

"A lot of Star Wars titles have had great concepts but almost always boil down to very little substance."I don't see this as true- maybe if you were a galaxies player (which I wasn't- I am not into level grinding mmo's) or battlefront(which I do play and love), which wasn't meant to be a substance oriented title, but the jedi knight, republic commando, kotor series among others were all very substance filled even if kotor2 and jedi academy had holes they were still good games and atmospheric enough to still be damn good

I've really been looking forward to this game. Especially since the Wii version seems to be a worthy addition to the other console builds. Nice to see a third-party Wii game that (hopefully) the developers have put some time and effort into.

This is based on that Star Wars movie where Bob Hoskins makes Jet Li wear a dog collar, right?

You can't be serious. Star Wars Galaxies and the prequel-based games aren't the only SW games in existence....

So, I assume the PS3 demo hits a day or two after the 360 one.

Now, now, Brad...SW:G was good until it became WoW with lightsabers.

Also, when you had to work to be a jedi.
