Star Wars: The Force Unleashed preview PS3

We never get tired of Star Wars games, and the good news for all fans of the Force is that there'll e a new offering from Lucasarts next winter. We've had the enormous good fortune to get a glimpse of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and we've got a full preview in this issue of P3Zine where we can tell you all there is to know about the game. Set in the period between episodes 3 and 4 in the movie saga, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed lets you play a serious baddie - Darth Vader's right hand man no less. Much of the plot's still under wraps, but we've had a good look at the gameplay and we like what we see. Find out why in our full preview of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed preview PS3

We've just finished watching a demonstration video of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and, like everyone else, we're amazed with what we've seen. We've known for ages that Lucasarts have been quick to push this latest game, or, more specifically, the buzzwords for the technology that's inside it, but not once have we truly seen what it could do, in the specific context of a game. Now we've seen what they're planning, we only want more.

The Force Unleashed is set in the rather large blank period in between Episode 3 and Episode 4, and casts the player into the Sith boots of Darth Vader's secret apprentice - the man who eventually becomes Darth's right hand man, and does all his dirty work, including the slaying of hundreds of thousands of Jedis. Nice chap, then.

But while a lot of the story may remain clouded in mystery, the lid's finally been pulled from the gameplay, and what we've seen is nothing short of amazing. Looking like a cross between Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight (a good Star Wars game if there ever was one), and the physics engine from Crysis, The Force Unleashed could end up being the best Star Wars game ever.
