Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

You've got to feel a bit sorry for George Lucas. Having hit the jackpot with the original Star Wars trilogy and then Indiana Jones, pretty much anything he'd try to do afterwards was always going to have to be utterly brilliant to stop the moaning fanboys. Instead he gave us the Ewok movies, the prequels and then – my personal frothing at the mouth moment – The Clone Wars film. The Star Wars franchise is like a horse being flogged to within an inch of its life. But there is still life in the beast yet – at least if you're a gamer.
Star Wars games across the years have been a bit of a mixed bag. For every Knights of the Old Republic or Lego Star Wars there were half a dozen movie tie ins to milk the fans dry. And let's not even mention Jedi Knight.

There are some games which I pick up with a heavy heart. While they may be brilliantly coded and exciting for their core demographic, the basic premise doesn't appeal so I play them grudgingly.

If the last few months are anything to go by then it would seem decent RPGs for handheld consoles are like buses – you wait around for ages and then loads come along at once.

As inevitable as the school holiday friendly children's films are the game tie ins aimed at encouraging the friovolous spending of pocket money.

This is one of the hardest reviews I have ever had to write. Not because the game is especially difficult to explain, or rubbish, but rather because dragging myself away from the 360 long enough to come to work and actually type something out has been very difficult indeed.

The thing about growing up is lots of things that you thought were brilliant in your formative years never seem to be as good as you remember them.
