Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

 

Its an action game. Not hack 'n slash.

Right.

Castlevania is hacknslash though.

what's the difference? Force powers?
You hack and slash things with you're lightsaber no?

You get guns in Devil May Cry.
You get stars in Ninja Gaiden.

The difference is that most of the enemies are ranged shooters attacking you from far.

Hack 'n slash is about the physical battle between primarily blade wielding protagonists and enemies who attack the same way bar some ranged attackers (to mix it up a bit) with 70% of the game being focused on combat and less on puzzles and exploration and pretty much everything else.

If The Force Unleased is hack 'n slash, I guess Fable would also be. Hell, even prototype would be. Its an action adventure game. Fable is a WRPG and Prototype is another (open world) action game.

Haha your the hack n slash guru aren't you
