Star Wars: The Force Unleashed demo hits Xbox Live photo

Microsoft has just announced that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is now available in demo form. The demo has already won praise over at Penny Arcade for its incredible physics and ability to turn everything into a playground of death, so make sure to try it out. I've been told there is some "unique" ending to the demo as well. Intrigue!

This is definitely one of the year's must-have titles for me, so I'm going to stop talking to you arseheads right now and go download it. Go on, bugger off, I have some Stormtroopers' days to absolutely ruin.

My little brother has been waiting for this game for about 3 years. Its OK but the explosions are too small and the bodies disappear as always (nitpicking i know) Also at least for robots pick they up then put them down n they still explode. Its quite funny.
Mercs 2 is out before this n will hold me out better till the winter titles come out.

Great fun.
Launching barrels into TIE fighters and blasting stormtroopers out of windows into space is fucking awesome.

Badass Secret Sith FTW

It was okay. I was expecting more though. Really abrupt ending. Pretty short demo. I wish I could've played more.

not impressed jedi outcast was wayyyyyy better. the lightsaber combat is very shallow. I understand it is the force unleashed however it feels like a copycat of DMC and god of war with force powers. the only reason im gonna RENT it is to hear the story which sounds good.

Can't wait. This game's story looks way cooler than the latest trilogy.

I watched Star Wars last night. Obi Wan was a pushy SOB.

The demo is pretty fun. You get used to the controls in a minute or two. It really is just a "force hard-on" game and that's why it works. So far the best Star Wars game since KOTOR.

Fun demo. People looking for deep lightsaber combat will be disappointed. Force powers seem to be more available, though. I was Force grabbing just about everything and rarely had to let the meter recharge.

Reminds me of Jedi Academy, a bit, except with more wanton destruction. I like it, but I don't know if I'd buy it. I want another KOTOR already.

Was the QTE the "Unique Ending"? I didn't really see anything unique about ending a demo with a miniboss.
