Star Wars The Force Unleashed 1.0.9 for iPhone and iPod
The Force Unleashed certainly looks and sounds the part of a Star Wars game, complete with John Williams theme music and laser blast, TIE Fighter and light saber sound effects. Graphics are beautiful for a portable game, albeit prone to polygonal “jaggies.” In order to conserve size, however, there is no spoken dialogue. Instead, characters communicate through line after interminable line of dialogue, cast in an odd-looking, narrow font that’s rather difficult to read.
Gameplay is entirely “on rails,” if you will, similarly to the Don Bluth-animated laser disc arcade games of the 1980s like Space Ace and Dragon’s Lair. You have absolutely no control over where the apprentice goes or with whom he interacts; your job is to simply make sure he reacts appropriately to the given situation.
To that end, the apprentice learns various Force power techniques that you’ve seen demonstrated in the movies and other Star Wars video games—using your light saber to deflect laser blasts, using Force Grip to choke foes, pushing and pulling objects, using lightning bolts as we’ve seen the Emperor do, and more. You have to make your way through scene after scene of troopers and other nasties attacking, culminating in a series of boss battles against Jedi refugees and others.
