Star Wars The Force Unleashed (Ultimate Sith Edition) Review for Mac OS X

Reviewed August 24, 2012 by Ninja Foodstuff

The story is set prior to the events of Star Wars Episode IV, and sees you take on the role of Darth Vader's secret apprentice, "Starkiller". You control the apprentice from a third-person perspective as you make your way through a series of levels, armed with a lightsaber and the ability to "force push" various objects. Later on you'll develop other powers such as force lightning and lightsaber throwing, but by far the most useful is the ability to use the force to move objects around. Sadly this also proves to be the most frustrating power to use, both because the control scheme leaves a lot to be desired (especially when using mouse and keyboard) and because you'll remain immobile (and therefore susceptible to damage) whilst using it.
