Thankfully, these powers are well represented, including everything from force lightning to force push. With a title like The Force Unleashed, one would expect force powers to play a major role. The ease with which you control Starkiller, and the speed at which he moves, helps make the games combat all the more satisfying. Starkiller, on the other hand, is an incredibly nimble character, able to dash, turn, attack, and jump very quickly and responsively. Playing as Vader, the air surrounding you feels as though it is made entirely of molasses. That isnt to say that the Vader level isnt fun, but once youve played a few levels as Starkiller, youll quickly realize just how cumbersome controlling Vader is. So once youve made your way through the sluggish and lumbering Darth Vader level of the game, it is time for you to control Starkiller and prove your worth by seeking out and destroying the Jedi who managed to escape death following Order 66. While Vader is eager to overthrow the Emperor, teaming up with an untested apprentice wouldnt be incredibly bright. Without spoiling what is one of the best Star Wars storylines in the past decade, I will say that fans will surely not be disappointed.

Sounds vaguely similar to his plans with Luke, I know, but it really is an intriguing story full of unexpected twists and turns. With the help of his new apprentice, Vader hopes to one day destroy the Emperor and rule the galaxy. It does so by having you control Darth Vader, first level only, and later his secret apprentice, Starkiller. The Force Unleashed effectively bridges the gap between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope. What Lucas Arts has accomplished with this game is nothing short of amazing, especially when you consider the nature of the games storyline.
Instead of The Force Unleashed being just another proverbial nail in Star Wars coffin, it actually has revitalized my interest in the universe prior to the original trilogy and as a whole. I can now say that perhaps it has, but not in the way you might expect. After the disappointing new trilogy of Star Wars movies, I began to wonder if the Star Wars that I once knew and loved had failed me for the last time.
