It would be hard to find a game more heavily hyped than The Force unleashed, but reviewers are saying it's easy to find better games.
The reviews for the greatly anticipated title The Force Unleashed are coming in, and coming in around average. Xbox Magazine gave it a 7.5 out of 10, saying it lacked polish. And horror of horrors, Nintendo Power said playing with the Wii motion controls is not that fun.
Do you have any idea how many gamers probably bought a Wii just for the chance to swing controls like a lightsaber? Electronic Gaming Monthly's review is particularly scathing. James Mielke says the whole thing feels like a "mediocre action game from 1999."
It's sad, as gamers and Star Wars fans alike were looking forward to this one. We may have to keep waiting for that Star Wars game that really makes us feel like we've unleashed the force.
