| The
Star Wars saga will continue in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for Nintendo
Wii, a videogame developed by LucasArts, which casts players as Darth
Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to unveil new revelations
about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive story, created under direction
from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between
Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV
A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest
to rid the universe of Jedi - and face decisions that could change the
course of their destiny.
As its name implies, The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the
scope and scale of the Force by taking full advantage of newly developed
technologies that will be seen and experienced for the first time: Digital
Molecular Matter (DMM), by Pixelux Entertainment, and euphoria by NaturalMotion
Ltd. Paired with the powerful Havok Physics™ system, these new
technologies create gameplay only possible on the new generation of
consoles. DMM incorporates the physical properties of anything in the
environment so that everything reacts exactly like it should - wood
breaks like wood, glass shatters like glass, plants on the planet Felucia
bend like plants on the planet Felucia would, and more. Meanwhile, as
a revolutionary behavioral-simulation engine, euphoria enables interactive
characters to move, act and even think like actual human beings, adapting
their behavior on the fly and resulting in a different payoff every
single time. |

Unleash
and upgrade - the Secret Apprentice's four core Force powers
- Force push, grip, repulse and lightning - throughout the course of
the game, and combine them for ultra-destructive, never-before-seen
combos. |

Examples
of unleashing the Force in ways never thought possible:
The Secret Apprentice won't just Force push enemies into walls
- he'll Force push enemies through walls.
The Secret Apprentice won't just Force grip foes to throw them aside
- he'll Force grip them in midair, zap them with lightning, then drop
them to the ground to explode like a bomb. |
