Star Wars TFU: I've Heard Enough Bad Reviews

As you may or may not know the Force unleashed has recently hit the market. In this canon (meaning it is part of the Star Wars Universe, not the expanded universe) game you play as Darth Vader's secret apprentice, with the promise from the developers to "Kick ass with the force!" But there is a big problem lurking beneath the awesome premise....

Hype and glitches

Hype: Being a star wars game it has some things to live up, games like KotOR, were games that although not canon redefined the star wars expanded universe. But this game being the only canon game to grace the star wars series it was kinda a big deal

Glitches: this game has quite a few but nothing game breaking the biggest glitch i found was during an autosave where if it is turned off your entire save is gone, and i was on the last level of the hardest difficulty it was very sad.

Here is where the problem arises though nearly every review i've heard was about how terrible the game is, Video game show spent several minutes telling you the demo was too far in the game for an accurate representation of how the game plays, which is false as that is the first level. Yes your powers were SLIGHTLY higher than they are at that point in the actual game but nothing huge you just had force lightning.
Gametrailers gave it a 6.9 because it got too repetitive... which is only true if you the user choose to just use the same moves over and over. At this point i began feeling like Lono and too human

So i decided the best way to fix all this was to show an actual I finished the game, I experienced the glitches, and I know what score it deserves

I give Star Wars the Force Unleashed a 8.5 out of ten

my biggest complaint is that the promise of getting to choose your path was very limited and the dark side ending was not only stupid but not even worth the work it takes to get
