E3: Star Wars: Force Unleashed

Check the awesome new trailer for Star Wars: Force Unleashed. Coming from LucasArts, and expected to debut on April 8th, 2008, anticipation is running high after a series of teaser trailers were released over the last year showing what pretty much every Star Wars gamer has wanted to do; using the Force to smash, grab, and hurl anything in sight...including a Star Destroyer.



The game, comic, novel and other materials are currently scheduled for release in Spring 2008. Releases are expected for PS3, Xbox 360, PSP, Nintendo DS as well as PS2. There are no plans to release a PC version of the title (!) although Amazon still continued to list The Force Unleashed as a PC release as late as the 19th June.



While a game that involves using the Force to throw around a Star Destroyer might sound like it could sell itself, The Force Unleashed will also explain your access to these powers with a storyline that will fit in with the six movies of the series. The game is set in the time period betweens Episodes III and IV, during which the Empire scoured countless star systems to exterminate the last remaining Jedi and finalize its hold over the galaxy. You'll play as an as-yet-unnamed Force-adept character toiling secretly under the auspices of none other than Darth Vader to seek out and destroy the Jedi stragglers who could threaten the Empire's power. giving players the chance to mess around with some exquisite over-the-top Force powers never seen before.
