A New Force Will Be Unleashed In 2010
Star Wars: The Force UnleashedOkay, so we weren't the biggest fans of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, but we know it has a large following 'cuz it sold 5.7 million copies through February 2009.
Therefore, we imagine many of you will be excited to hear that a sequel has been confirmed, and although we don't have any concrete info just yet, we know the game is a true sequel; i.e, it picks up where the first title left off. In other words, you should expect to step back into the boots of Galen "Starkiller" Marek, apprentice to Darth Vader.
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
If you played the original, you know Marek should be dead (he apparently sacrificed himself at the end of The Force Unleashed) but according to the trailer that showed up at the VGAs, Marek is prominently featured. Oddly enough, though, he may now be a Jedi; he's shown holding the blue-light sabers and fighting a huge, Rancor-eating beast. The trailer included both Vader and Yoda speaking to Marek so maybe there's some pushing and pulling going on...maybe Marek isn't entirely convinced of either side's benefits. If you want to see more, visit the game's teaser website.
We'll let you know when LucasArts nails down a concrete release date, which should be some time next year.

Loved both games. The Jedi StarFighter games on PS2 were OK, but never really captured the feeling you got in Tie Fighter (or X-wing).

i won't be looking forward to this game... i've only liked two star wars games... LEGO star wars and star wars: shadow of the empire for the nintendo 64... nothing else holds my interest or looks good... i guess i am just not a big star wars fan to begin with... but, those two games i mentioned are fun to play...

That said the trailer on the VGAs did look awesome. Maybe this will be a game that lets you choose your side as you make decisions.

In my book, the best Star Wars game to date is Episode III. Decent graphics and controls, plus a fun multiplayer aspect to the game in duel mode (why this has not been revisited is beyond me).
Anyways... I would love to see this technology transfered to games based around Episodes I-VI. Hey, I can dream right?

how could i call myself a star wars fan without playing knights of the old republic?
i was being sarcastic about the once, just once please.
obviously, because there are a few games that let you be the villain but very, very, very few.
i want to be the ultimate bad a$$ like in GOW2 where you have to kill the scholars to clear the way to the fates.
stuff like that,i have to be a nice goody two shoes in real life so i need a place where i can be a bad a$$

I enjoyed the first force unleashed in some way except for the glitches at times but for the price I paid for it , it was worth it. Lets hope they get all the bugs out first before release the next one.

you sir need to go play assassins creed 2.
i loved TFU, it may be buggy and short but it was allot of fun trying to make a storm trooper chain.
loved doing that.
it was so funny how every time you pick a enemy up he would grab onto another enemy.

1 it sold very well.
2 lucas arts spent a HELL of allot of money developing DMM and the euphoria engine, there licensing it to other developers but you dont spend that type of money for a one off game.

I was glad that they decided to do another one. I think now they have heard what people didnt like about the first one, and hopefully they will have had time to hammer out the bugs and make a nice finished product.
