The Force Unleashed

OK then...

I rented the force unleashed and have been playing it for a bit. Mostly I rented it cause I wanted to rent Little Big Planet and they didn't have any copies so I picked up this one, cause I have been curious to see how it is. However I can say that while it looks very good (amazing how they can make a video game look that good and the new clone wars movie looks like crap), the game is rather repetitive and gets dull. Basically you waltz through a level swinging your light saber randomly (cause there doesn't seem to be a good aiming system) then zapping lighting at people. Then you get to the boss where you swing your light saber and zap lighting at one guy instead of a level full of guys and the background doesn't change.

More and more I am becoming increasingly less accepting of anything new that George Lucas puts out with a Star Wars title on it. I am still willing to buy the original trilogy on Bluray provided I get the theatrical cuts, but beyond that there must be a really good reason for me to support any new Star Wars stuffs.

So yes, I've said it before, I hope I don't have to say it again, leave Star Wars be, if you take 20 years and craft a truly good story and make that a movie, I might go see it, otherwise I'll be ignoring it.
