Vader in The Force Unleashed: Choking Wookiees has never looked so good

Sure, Darth Vader has been a playable character in games prior to Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Let's not forget that PS3 owners will have the chance to control him even before The Force Unleashed is released, by picking up Soul Calibur IV this Summer.

But, when was the last time you got to massacre Wookiees with the Sith Lord himself by using his plethora of Force powers? Though it may only be for the first level of the game, you'll be able to do just that come this September.

Every new screen, trailer, and bit of info surrounding The Force Unleashed has me salivating over the game. I'm already sold on the concept, so please, LucasArts, keep the content coming!

Actulally they had a video on IGN of Vader force choking and throwing the shit outta a wookie about a month ago maybe more sooooo this may be the first non beta game shot in that technical kinda way but I have seen it before.

I can't wait 'til George Lucas goes back in 20 years and rerereleases the Star Wars movies and fits in a little scene/cameo appearance of this secret apprentice into Episode III.

You heard it here first. It'll happen.

Good idea Sith masterminds, put your all-star in a situation where two dozen dumbass sacraficial cronies can do the job. It's like having David Ortiz take on the Columbus-Thompson Community College baseball team.

Please tell me why being in close communication with George Lucas is a good thing?

Otherwise, looks not bad-ish.

To bad it's just the first level. The game still looks awesome. I'm think I might get the Wii version if the controls are just right and the gameplay doesn't suffer a lot from the downgrade.

The Wii version isn't going to be anything like the 360 or PS3, sadly. All the common things like Graphics and physics, are being scrapped.

But there's still that one small ray of hope that a lightsaber game will be as good as the one everyone dreams of. But yeah I doubt it's this one

@Whipple

That's why Microsoft is getting into remote production! Their prototype senses that there's an enemy in front of you, and will shoot magnetized forcefields at you to replicate resistance in a saber battle. Known side effects are nausea, sperm loss, 360mote-itis, and casual games.

Or you can just get Soul Calibur 4 and play as Darth Vader through the whole game.

Even though I've known about this bit of info long ago, and despite Geoff's constant attempts at claiming exclusivity on all information game-related, I did find the gameplay video of Darth Vader's powers in action AWESOME...

DO WANT?
Yes.

I want to be excited for this game, but it makes me uneasy that it's coming out for every platform and their respective stunted children.
