    Re: The Force Unleashed Demo - THIS THURSDAY!

    Thoughts?

    I thought it was pretty good and left me wanting more. I think the target lock on was tricky, but then I probably should change the controls to toggle it instead. It also seemed pretty hard to position objects, but maybe it gets easier as you get more powerful? Or maybe it's not designed to throw a barrel targeted at a specific person?

    Overall, I can't wait for the full game .

    Going to have to play through the demo a couple time more just to find more combos I think.

    I rather liked it as well. Agreed, the targeting is a bit iffy and the idea of combos seemed a bit lame (I just don't like that style of game) but it all managed to come together really well in the end and left me wanting more.

    hmmmm,
    It was ok, but it reminded me a bit of the Episode 3 three games, I was expecting it to be a bit more RPGish like KOTOR, mind you chucking stormtroopers around is always fun.

    Really? I always had in mind that it was going to be along the lines of the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games, and from that point of view it doesn't seem to disappoint.

    Because it'd get pirated to hell and back and Lucasarts wouldn't make any money on it? Just a thought...

    Re: The Force Unleashed Demo - THIS THURSDAY!

    Downloaded it last night for the PS3. This is the first game that's crashed my console!

    Great fun though. Blocking is a tad naff since you can't move and block at the same time. Targetting as said is a bit hit or miss, but I love the force powers and the sound is superb. I've got a decent home cinema rig, and the missus was *not* amused when I was playing.

    Defo on the buy list for me. I think it was developed on PS3 as well (correct me if I'm wrong) and it shows. No slowdown or dodgy framerates here.

    Re: The Force Unleashed Demo - THIS THURSDAY!

    Hmm, it appears that when walking slowly towards someone shooting the odd pot shot, you auto block the blaster shot. It's only when running that you don't seem to do it, and obviously a full on barrage requires you to stop, in which case you're better off just Force rushing your way around or zigzagging to dodge the onslaught.

    How do you kill the walker thing? Haven't had much luck with that yet, blummin thing keeps stomping on me.

    Re: The Force Unleashed Demo - THIS THURSDAY!

    have to say it left me a little dissapointed, i was expecting quite alot from this game and maybe its because it is a short demo but I felt rather let down...

    This game can't surely rely on the "force power" i want depth, graphical beauty and a proper story.... is that too much to ask?!
