From the previews of SWTFU,you wouldn’t expect much.I was pleasantly surprised when I sat down last night and played it for several hours. If your a fan of Star Wars,then this is one of the better games to show up in quite a while. Although,there are some technical issues with the game and a few plot points that make you go” What the hell?” You’ll certainly be entertained with the game.
Pros:
The graphics are pretty impressive and the locales are pretty varied
The Storyline so far(little over half way through) is one of the better I’ve seen ,save for a few moments
The powers and upgrade system are fun.It’s a blast just whacking the Wookies!
Plenty of enemies and nods to the Star Wars Universe
The Cutscenes are excellent!
Cons
Glitches. Yes,there are some glitches. Fighting at a point in the Junkyard planet the game wouldn’t save,so I played it over and over for 8 times till it did.I almost broke a controller.
Some enemies are resistant to the Force? Never heard of this.Wow
The difficulty ramps up quick later.Which isn’t that bad really.
So,in short,If you are a Star Wars fan,then I would probably pick up the game.It’s not a amazing game,but it is a very title to play.In fact,I’ve had more fun moments in playing this game than many others in quite a while.I’ll give it a B- right now at where I’m at,but I might revise it as I finish it up .I’m still enjoying it though.
Grade: B-

Next week,I’ll be playing through the newest Lucasarts game.I’ve played the demo on PS3,but I’m not sure what copy we’ll be receiving next week. I’m thinking it’ll be for the 360,so look forward to a little hands on for you folks that are unsure of what the game will have to offer or if you are just not sure after playing the demo.Stay tuned.

Yes,it’s true. The most anticipated Star Wars game in quite some time drops a demo on 360 and PS3 next week. It will be on Live and PSN on Thursday,Aug 21st. It’ll be a level from the game involving a Tie Fighter factory and a battle to find a Jedi General.The ending to the demo is supposed to be different than what is in the game.I can’t wait personally,as this is a day one purchase for myself.
