An awesome game worth renting

4 out of 5 starsScore: 80/100

The good : one of the best facial animations ever , intriguing storyline , ambitious game play 

The bad : the game is too short , occasionally frustrating elements , some weird glitches  

Star wars : the force unleashed was nothing but pure satisfaction for me from start to the end . even though the game is not perfect by any means it still delivers a memorable experience through an amazing story that stays with you long after you finished the game .

The game follows the hack and slash formula but due to the fact that Star killer the game’s protagonist can use two types of ultra-physical powers (force and lightning ) you can feel that there is something unique about this game .

The game play mechanics are not always perfect and sometimes you get frustrated but eventually things get much smoother once you learn how to  handle the game properly .

Visually the game looks really good , everything from lush forests to gigantic space ships are truly impressive . the voice acting is also good and this coupled with the quality of Facial Animations make cut-scenes realistic and enjoyable .   the game has good amount of replay value due to various unlock ables and costumes . also the game features two different Endings .
Unfortunately the game is short  nevertheless and a complete first play-through would not take you more than 8 hours (in second play-through I finished the game in 4 hours ) though at the end you still feel that you had enough .

Over all SW:TFU is a really amazing game that definitely worth renting
