If Nier can combine shoot'em ups, brawling, platforming and RPG gameplay, then so can The Force Unleashed. Gameplay can still include brawling, but far be it from that being the only element. It's as if millions of voices cried out in pain. Yes, it may upset some fans that it is so absurd, but it can't hurt worse than this: What about the Death Star? Let's make it the final boss! If you come across Han Solo, then have a section where you combine your Force powers with your gunnery skills and go Star Fox 64 against the Imperial Navy. When we fight Darth Vader, the game shows us just how powerful he and the protagonist are, tearing apart an entire battlefield as they duel each other. This is a game where insane set pieces actually make sense as a primary focus. A perfectly calm starting point, an utterly insane climax on par with the likes of Bayonetta and Azura's Wrath. No, if anything, the Force Unleashed should be more akin to a Star Wars It's A Mad, Mad World. Not done in a Scary Movie "hey look, we just.


The plot should be full of winks and nods to the audience. The Force Unleashed should be a crazy, messy, silly expression of Star Wars fandom. Let's include a "defeat as many Ewoks/Gungans as possible" mini-game! After having a massive duel tearing apart the entire Death Star throne room. You grab him with Force Grip, and send him straight into the Death Star's laser beam as it fires off a shot. If you can tear down a Star Destroyer with your fist, you do not chicken out before Emperor Palpatine. With anyone on par with Starkiller's power in the mix, there is no way you can believably explain them not just winning the day for either the Sith or Jedi. No more shying away from real good guys and bad guys dying and/or being involved with the plot. Whether it's crazy or grounded, The Force Unleashed could be so much more.įirst off, let's just not make this canon. Don't get me wrong, there was fun to be had, but the series never really hit the right tone. What did we get instead? Two okay-ish brawling platformers that didn't really unleash the Force, inasmuch as add a bunch of new melodrama between the two trilogies. It hinted to a new take on using the Force that we never saw before. Remember this image above? It looked amazing, and crazy.
