I'm having great fun with this one folks. I'm not a Star Wars fanatic but I had star wars toys in the 80s and love the 80s Ewok movie. I've seen some of the old movies and only a couple of the newer ones.

As far as games go, I think the first Star Wars game I played was probably one of the Tie Fighter games on dos in the early 90s. I don't know for certain. One of the first wow Star Wars games I remember was when I watched my cousins and his friends play Shadows of the Empire on the N64.

I may have had others, but the SW game that really sticks in my mind is Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2. I had that on pc way back and loved that game. I never beat the game but I got close and I spent countless hours on that one. The thing I remember is that the world and map levels just felt huge and atmospheric. I later had Jedi Outcast and Academy but never really played them much. I also tried that rpg Star Wars game for the xbox but didn't like it.

I was curious about these Force Unleased games because they are more next generation and use physics engines now and the Euphoria engine. I decided to go ahead with the sequel. I figured it had more fixes and features. Man its been awesome fun. This is really my first next generation Star Wars game.

It has really nice graphics especially in character modeling. The whole Star Wars and Jedi subject matter is really starting to come to life now with today's current technology. The havok physics and Euphoria animation system really lends itself to the Star Wars world. You actually really feel like a powerfull Jedi now with your metal scarring light sabers and telekenisis powers that can fling storm troopers over a ledge or grab a Tie Fighter in mid air and and crush it.

Sorry for the long winded post but this was a pleasant little find. Does anyone haver experience with these games? Will I like the first one?

The first is better than the second so I would say get hold of that as you will definately like it.

I played the first one the PS3 and I really enjoyed it. I have not tried the second one yet but I will eventually find time for it. I'm thinking of playing the first one again, on the 360, just for the achievements but it was enjoyable enough to play again anyway IMO.

There are more good Star Wars games than movies. LOL
The Battlefront games were excellent, just not much for storytelling. Good action though.
KOTOR was really good, but takes a while to get into. First game I got on the Xbox, I was pretty disappointed until I went back to it later on. I wish it would get remade with the Mass Effect treatment and dialogue.
Lately I've been enjoying the heck out of SW: Empire at War. Very cinematic, a lot of fun.
I tend to prefer the non-Jedi side of SW.

No way, those all sucked. The one and only good SW game was this one...





LOL... j/k.

LOL
I think the first flight "sim" I ever played was that wireframe X-wing game. Absolutely awesome, cool yoke control.

Damn I loved that game! Played that one for hours on the ole Atari.

I think FU1 might be a nice title for my initial PS3 purchase go go with. It's a title I never could fit on my PC Hard Disk
