With its non-branching storyline and no multiplayer, Force Unleashed is certainly less ambitious than the classic "Jedi Knight" games - and ultimately, its design makes it feel more videogame-y and less of an all-engrossing Star Wars experience than Xbox entries like "Jedi Knight II" or "Jedi Academy." But when the game is on, it's on. [Oct 2008, p.70]

By even allowing the choice between simple hack-and-slash gameplay and the more complex mix-up combos, LucusArrts has ensured that many will never view the title’s full potential. [Oct 2008, p.104]

An ambitious--yet ultimately dissatisfying--effort. [Oct 2008, p.82]
Holy smokes, I had really high hopes for this game, I was expecting around 80% so scores like these are really disapointing (Unless they are the true scores all games should get and other higher rated games are just over-rated) It will probably still sell reasonably well based on advertising and IP...
Tease.
