Star Wars The Force Unleashed preview for Xbox 360

Set between Episodes III and IV, you control a new apprentice of Darth Vader, tasked with helping the Dark Lord of the Sith rid the galaxy of the last remaining Jedi. Yet with screens and videos showing players attacking Stormtroopers and the like, we wouldn't bet against the possibility of wandering from the path of the Dark Side and turning good, if the player so chooses.

What do we know?
The first level offers a jaw-dropping experience right off the bat - the chance to play as Darth Vader himself! It's a remarkable turn of events for a Lucasarts Star Wars title, the company thus far resisting temptation to really use the Sith Lord's Jedi powers. Set on the Wookie planet of Kashyyyk, you're able to unleash a devastating force blast which will send the walking furballs flying - with the game's Euphoria physics engine seeing them topple from bridges and platforms and even making distant Wookies stumble and sway.
