The Official MM Video Game Review Thread!

Anyone tried the new Star Wars Force game? I'm a nerd for that kind of stuff but it looks really cool... I think I might rent it this weekend. I was big into the SW: KOTOR games, beat 1 and 2 a couple of times.

I downloaded the demo but haven't bought the game (yet). I thought the demo was pretty fun. There are a lot of parts of the environment that are destructible and you can use force grabs to throw stuff. I think the thing I like most abotu it is that you can really kill people in mean and nasty ways if you like. Throw them over balconies, slam them against walls, stab them on the ground, throw your lightsaber at them, force choke them to death, you name it.

The targeting system is a bit weak but I only found it to be an issue when I was trying to force grab something or someone. Camera work isn't bad either.

Really the only major qualm I have about it is from the Star Wars nerd perspective. Starkiller is just too powerful. I mean, if this apprentice is this strong who needs Vader or the Emperor? I mean damn, the guy can bring down a star destroyer.

Oh, and the lightsaber should kill any storm trooper or whoever in one blow. I wanna see heads rolling and torsos split. In the game you've gotta slash two or three times to kill someone. So it makes it more like you're hitting them with a bat, rather than an all-cutting plasma sword.

Other than that though it's worth a try. One of my roommates bought it and he said he really likes it.
