Review

Let's face it, games based on films are usually rubbish. Only a few are worth playing, and fewer still that actually good games in their own right. Part of the problem is that publishers tend to be so busy worrying about making sure their games are released at the same time as the film that nine times out of ten there isn't a decent game underneath. The other common difficulty is that games and films by their very nature have different narrative structures, and what works in one medium doesn't automatically work in the other. Mr Uwe Boll please take note.

As you read this, the Lego Star Wars series has sold in excess of 15 million units: no small feat, even for a game based on both one of the world’s most successful toys and most popular movie franchises at the same time. We suspect it was a case of high-fives all round when the news of their achievement broke at Traveller’s Tales. However, for a developer to live up to that level of success requires something very special indeed.

Preview: Star Wars Force Unleashed by Dave Cook | 19-08-08

With the core Star Wars movie series done and dusted, you may think that there are no more tales to tell from that galaxy far, far away. However, the circle is far from complete, as developer Lucasarts presents a much darker version of the universe that has captivated fans for the last four decades.
