Disappointments of the past couple years

[Smeags]

I know it's somewhat of a duh statement, but I was pretty disappointed with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed...

I mean, I was having a pretty fun time. I actually had a "wow" moment while playing the game, when I first used the nunchuck to use force push. Seeing my forward gesture make the enemy fly into the wall with a satisfying thunk actually made me whisper "wow". That doesn't happen very often. And other than that, I couldn't complain while playing the game. The action was decent (albeit a tad monotonous), the graphics were tolerable (at least the lightning looked decent), and the leveling up was a nice way to make sure that every stone (person, robot, etc.) wasn't left unturned.

But the most redeeming factor was the story. LucasArts actually made a worthy bridge between Episodes III and IV. As Darth Vader's apprentice, everything started to make sense. How the rebel alliance was created, the reality of your existence, the corny love story between you and your pilot... I mean, for the most part, it kept me coming back for more. And man, it was really starting to get good... and then the game ended. I mean, right when your existence was revealed (create the Rebel Alliance so that they could be rooted out by the Empire), the game ended. Man! They could have gone so much farther with the story...

But in the end Star Killer died and the Galaxy went on like nothing happened. The end!
