The latest Star Wars craze is coming to the Wii.
The Force Unleashed is Lucas Arts' next installment to the Star Wars universe. Players take on the roll of Darth Vader's secret Sith Apprentice who's power with the force is nothing short of Vader's expectations. The apprentice is charged with hunting down the remaining Jedi in the galaxy (remember order 66 in Episode III?) and will encounter a number of contrasting opponents.
The player however, is well equipped to handle challenges. Developers give players the ability to use household "force" powers, and then go even farther by including a combo system that incorporates these force powers into powerful melee attacks, making the title, "The Force Unleashed" all the more fitting.
The story is said to tie the two trilogies together as it caps off the modern prequel trilogy as well as provide key plot points that open the classic trilogy.
The game will be a multi-platform release, meaning it will be available on the Xbox 360 and the PS3. But the Wii version comes with a few perks for flavour. One is the addition of five new missions/quests that allow interaction with new characters/story lines not present on the competition's machines. Duel mode is the other, which is a multiplayer battle simulation that has plenty of variety.
This title is due to at video game stores on September 16.
