Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition combines the original Star Wars The Force Unleashed videogame with three entirely new single-player levels and a host of new costumes and character models. The three new levels introduce an exciting new “what if” scenario into the Star Wars Universe and send players on dangerous missions to iconic locales such as the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, Jabba’s palace on Tatooine and into the thick of battle on the ice world of Hoth. New character models allow gamers to play as a legendary Star Wars character such as Luke Skywalker or Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Summary: A fun game for Star Wars fans. Clunky controls removes one star.
Comment: I no longer consider myself a gamer, but every so often a game captures my attention such as Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. I attended the panel at Celebration IV where they introduced the "actors" and pretty much announced the plot of the game. As a rabid Star Wars fan, I waited in long anticipation of this game to find out that it wasn't planned to be released on the PC. I was bummed but I heard mixed reviews and I didn't lose too much sleep over it.
But when I saw it released on the PC and the low price on Amazon, it was like a dream come true. Needless to say, the majority of the reviews for the consoles apply to the PC version.
First of all, this game is just badass in my book. The things you can do with the Force and the Euphoria engine are amazing and just entertaining. There are so many ways to kill someone...it's just fun to try different combinations. Targetting is horrible...even with the auto-assist. Too many times, I'll throw something at the wrong something and get frustrated. But overall the game is rather easy and there are enough auto-save points that you don't really have to re-do much even if you did manage to die.
The complaints about the linear storyline are clearly from those who don't realize that the game was meant to be a story that bridges the gaps between Eps 3 and 4. Overall, it's a little easy and repetitive for the hardcore gamers. But for someone who plays casually, it's a nice break from the daily grind to go home and smash things.

Summary: The Force Unleashed
Comment: I'm a big fan of any SW game where you control a Jedi/Sith, so buying TFU was a no brainer. It took me several months to purchase it (namely because I have a Macbook Pro and couldn't find a solid answer anywhere online or through Aspyr as to whether or not my system would play the game.) I know it has been released in a Mac platform, but when the price is $40 for a Mac DVD-ROM and $17.99 for a PC DVD-ROM, I figured I'd try it out for the cheaper of the two versions.
To answer anyone (like me before you) who questions if their Macbook Pro will play this game. YES. Nowhere online could I find anyone who had purchased the game with a Macbook Pro trying to run it on Apple's BootCamp software. It does work and it works wonderfully. The game does lag a bit in some of the gameplay's more demanding and intense battles, but it clears up after 1-2 seconds.
A lot of people have said the storyline is short, which it is, but aside from that, it's a great game, great story, and (to me, personally) has plenty of replay value. I'm on my third time through and I've only owned it about 4 weeks. I enjoy it quite a bit.
Hope this helps. Get ready for TFU:2 in October!!!

Summary: what were they thinking?
Comment: First this is a review for the PC game. Second, for those who played Knights of the old Republic 2, you can remember all the bugs in there. Well this game puts that game to shame! My own little fun bug is during the cutscenes you can't hear what the characters are saying. During the rest of the game the sound is fine. Do a search on google and take a look and take a look at all of the fun people are having with the bugs. Or even go here [...] and you will see the bugs that people are finding, everything to unable to load the game. To game crashes to sound issues. Do NOT bother with this game. If you find it for 5 bucks give it a try. Otherwise don't bother. if i could i'd take this thing back. maybe (yeah right) maybe someday they'll bring out another patch and fix this thing, by the way they already have to patches. I'm not saying having to patches quickly is bad. Sometimes that shows that the company cares. But the patches aren't really fixing the big problems in this case.

Summary: Worst SW game ever...
Comment: Every other major release (Crysis, Fallout 3, etc...) works great on my gaming rig.
This game crashes at the splash screen, the options screen, even the beginning credits.
The frame rate is horrific (I'm used to 100+fps) with this game it's about .5 yes 1 frame every 2 seconds.
No official help, forums, or even a patch to address basic issues. And yes I'm using the latest drivers, fully defragged drive, etc...this is the ONLY game I have these kind of non-repairable issues with.
Pick up a copy of Jedi Academy or Dark Forces III: Jedi Knight if you want to really play a Jedi. This game is craptastic. Especially after you realize that this game takes 25GB of hard drive space and still looks like crap. Oh it's got great eye candy...if you like playing at what is basically a screenshot every 2 seconds.
After 2 hours (NOT INCLUDING THE INSTALL TIME) I've managed to get this game started. And when you finally get in...you get a great view of Vader's full black cloak from the rear. And that's it...don't know why they bothered rendering his front or his lightsaber since the only times you see that is during the camera trying to catch up to you turning. And don't forget the Teen rating...your weapon can cut a heavy mech (AT-ST) in half...but it takes 3 blows (nothing living gets cut up, unlike the movies) of your glowstick to take out a single stormtrooper.
Save your money DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.
