The demo for the highly anticipated Star Wars: Force Unleashed is available for download on XBOX360 and PS3. I downloaded it a week or two ago and played through and I give it a meh.
Maybe it's the fact that I don't really give a shit about the Star Wars francise any more - except for the Battlefront and Knights of the Old Republic series - but the demo really wasn't that impressive. It looked amazing and it was a lot of fun using the Force to clobber foes in spectacular ways but it didn't really capture my attention. Maybe I didn't give the game enough play to develop the finesse needed enjoy the subtleties of using the Force. For me the game is a button masher. Most certainly not worth the full game price of admission.
Played the demo also, can't make up my mind on this one. It almost seems like it would be a better game to watch than to play. The force powers are pretty cool and interactive in a way that has been completely nonexistent in previous SW franchise games but that does not a deep and interesting game make. Meh, I'll wait for it to go down in price and pick up Bttlfld: BC in the meantime.
