'Star Wars: The Force Unleashed' Game Doesn't Play Like Its Demo

Stephen Totilo OF MTV Multiplayer writes: "If you've played the downloadable Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 demo of "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" you haven't experienced what the game is really like to play. Consider this a head's up from MTV Multiplayer, where we've played the full game, that the "SW:TFU" demo is a bit misleading..."

I doubt it changes the crappy camera and targeting system ...wich is one of the game's biggest flaws .

I feel like every dev says that, "The game is better than the demo" when is the demo going to be as good as the game?

Why would they even release a demo for a game like this? The name practically sells itself. All the demo did was made me thankful I wouldn't be wasting my hard earned cash on this title.

I liked the demo but why in the hell would I listen to someone who works for MTV. They are starting to act as if gamers are retards.

Though I believed that the game was overhyped for its own good, I could care less about gaming reviews. I'm still going to get this game after work tomorrow.

Boy, it would be long, work day tomorrow for me!

Get out of here, and go rent the original trilogy right away! You're comments are futile until you've seen them. No joke.

11 - "Pleeeease don't buy this game!" cries the Internet.
Once again, proof that someone big wants this game to bomb. First the early reviews said the game played like crap. Gamers on the internet said, "Huh. The demo was fun. I think I'll still try out the full game."

Now the reviewers say, "This game isn't like the demo at all. It's WAY worse. God of War clone! Forget the videos you've seen of huge, open levels and cool design! This is a corridor crawler in disguise."

Thanks anyway, internet. I'm buying this game immediately after work today. If it sucks, then I will have made a bad decision. But at least it will have been MY decision.

(Disconnects from wireless network. Internet shrieks, "NO! WAIT, DO YOU LIKE CANDY? I'LL BUY YOU SOME CAN--")

Edit: Why in the world is MTV telling me what video games to buy?Didn't MTV stop being relevant in about 1989?

11.1 - Update
Played through the first two levels. While the first showed a bewildering lack of polish--lots of pop in, and one of the wookiees actually disappeared when I picked him up--the second level was dynamite. Challenging and fun.

Just in case you want the opinion of a regular old gamer.

13 - Ummm.....
Quote in the article was a little bit off base.

"So if the demo made you think that the game would feel like a “Star Wars” adventure that jacked “Half-Life 2″’s gravity gun, then you were misled."

Ummm...wouldn't it be the gravity gun was jacked from the Star Wars Universe. You know using the force to throw items at people ala Darth Vader vs. Luke in Empire Strikes Back? Nothing big, just saying...

14 - The game does not suck.
It's not an amazing game, but it's a good one.

There's plenty to like about it.

I'm glad I didn't pay 60 bucks for it, but it's a great rental.

I can't imagine someone being disappointed with it as a rental.

If you're a Star Wars fanatic, you'd probably love it even as a purchase.

14.1 - QTEs stink
Killing the boss in the demo with a QTE was lame. QTEs should never be used in a video game.

a clone of god of war ?

Well, in GOW, you feel the power and the rage of Kratos, in The force unleashed you feel the awkward controls and crappy camera.

The game is different from the demo. But it isn't unusual, really. The Crackdown demo had you level up much faster than the real game did.

In this case I don't think it was false advertising. I think I got pretty much what I expected from the game. I'll be playing it again later tonight.

On a side note, I thought it was pretty interesting how many people were coming into Gamestop earlier today to claim their copies. I bought mine from Walmart, but I went next door to Gamestop and in the 20 minutes I was in the store there were 12 people who picked up reserved copies across multiple systems. I think that regardless of the reviews this game is going to do well.
