This was a feature that I was highly anticipating, but now I think it's gonna suck.  Check out this hands-on article.  It's a little old, so I guess it's possible that some things have been fixed, but there's 2 things that really stick in my craw.

http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/15/joystiq-hands-on-star-wars-the-force-unleashed-duel-mode-wii/

"These fights require two human players -- there's no AI option..."

WTF!  How do you create a fighting game/mode without a single player option?  LAZY!

"...their moves are all about the same as in the single-player game, so Luke uses the lightning strike alongside the "dark" characters."

Again, laziness!  I don't want Jedi to use Sith powers.  This is gonna blow.

Your first mistake is using an old article.

Current reviews of the game are scoring it pretty well, so the problems probably aren't as bad as you fear.  Besides, I never expected the duel mode to be 1-player.  I guess it'd be nice...

 

 

 I never expected it to NOT be 1 player.  What kind of fighting game doesn't let you play 1 player?

 

It's not a fighting game!

It's a damn action game with a bonus multiplayer duel mode!

You're second mistake was assuming that Star Wars Force Unleashed on Wii is a fighting game.  It's just the same action-adventure game as the others where it's bonus content is a multiplayer duel!

You guys seriously don't have ONE friend to play against?

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

I'm not saying it's a bad idea to have duel mode be playable in some one-player form, but to dismiss the entire game because of it?  Stupid. 

I for one, can't wait to play that with my kid.  He's gonna freak out!

You could always get some friends over.. I think the point was that you would play the single player mode of this game and if you had friends over, you have a multi player section..

The single player game is the adventure, if you want a fully fleshed out star wars fighting game, Clone Wars wants to say hello to you :)
