swaaye Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 ...but c'mon TFU makes you feel like you are actually participating in the fight and have a lot of ways of killing your opponents. Jedi Knight 2 and Jedi Academy really did it better though. I just did not like TFU's gameplay or controls. I'm glad I don't own it. Played a friend's copy. TFU actually reminded me a lot of the Super Star Wars games. It has similar missions really, and gameplay mechanics in many ways. I'm not really looking for more of that kind of shallow arcade-like play. I greatly preferred the Jedi Knight games to what TFU offers. Would much rather have seen LucasArts make Imperial Commando. Too bad it would've been more prequel era stuff though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralPloKoon Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 If a sequel is made to TFU, they are going to need a huge load of content instead of 7hour gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Vougalot Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Not one bit. It gave me everything I was expecting: an enjoyable little adventure with fun gameplay, amazing graphics and imaginative and unorthodox functionality. I never expected a phenomenal story akin to the movies themselves, as LucasArts and Lucas Film attempted to make us believe during the marketing process. I think anyone who played the game with such high expectations were in for a disappointment, really. I had high expectations as far as gameplay went, and they were fulfilled; but as far as the story and characters were concerned, I wasn't expecting much. Thus, I was not disappointed.

LordOfTheFish Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 If a sequel is made to TFU, they are going to need a huge load of content instead of 7hour gameplay. QFT. The one of the major let downs TFU had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Destruction Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 yeah it was good the first day i played it but after that day it kept going down and down on the cool meter and very bad graphics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW01 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 very bad graphics A criticism I have rarely heard of TFU! I am curious as to which console you are using, as I for one was astounded by the next-gen graphics. Last-gen, well, you can only expect so much. PSP, well you must expect awful graphics!

Jeff Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Yeah, which console did you play on LoD? On 360/PS3 I think the graphics are phenomenal, but on Wii the graphics are extremely disappointing, I would go as far as to compare them to early PS2/Xbox titles.

Lord of Destruction Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Wii but a saw all the commercials on TV i thought that it would have better graphics. I've actually seen better in different games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
On_Your_Six Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Finally got around to playing it myself (360 version), it was probably good that I played it around this time, after I heard everyones opinion on this (somewhat) lackluster entry into Star Wars gaming, however, and this doesn't apply to Wii. Does anyone else think this game could have been a hell of a lot better with the small addition of a crosshair (and slightly better camera)? I'm talking phenomenally better. I was slightly disappointed with the saber system, but then again, I knew this wasn't a saber focused game, but with the crosshair it would have made utilizing the grip/throw/push so much better. I can clarify at a later time if needs be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW01 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Does anyone else think this game could have been a hell of a lot better with the small addition of a crosshair (and slightly better camera)? From an aesthetic standpoint - crosshair=no. However, there is no doubt that the camera could have tried to be the slightest bit more helpful at times...

On_Your_Six Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Aesthetic? Care to elaborate on that note? I just think it would have been nice to have been able to use a crosshair to specifically choose the targets you launched your attacks at rather then the sort of center the camera (or object) and hope for the best action that seemed to be the way the game worked.

That's a fair - and actually quite a good - point you have. Thinking back on it, I rarely managed to pick up the object/person I wanted to. Hmm... Anyway, by 'aesthetic' I merely meant that I don't really like having a crosshair in the middle of the screen unless it's really necessary for the likes of a shooter. I think it would spoil the 'atmosphere' of the game to some extent. Just a personal choice, at the end of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
On_Your_Six Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Ah, see, that's the unfortunate part, this isn't exactly a shooter. I rather prefer to think of it as a showcase for the utilization of (intense degree) force powers, and I find without the ability to specifically direct them, a severe blow is made to the players interactivity with the environment and enemies. The simple addition of a crosshair would greatly increase the players involvement in this game, and I think would have gone a long way toward allowing a feeling of control in the environments, as it stands it feels kind of like once you've gripped something you've got the proverbial blast shield down and can only hope for a best case scenario. I truly think this would have pushed an otherwise mediocre game (with great presentation) into a rather good game. All I would have asked beyond this is about three missions as the Emperors Sith Stalker. That would have been solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crush1800 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I was dissapointed in the fact, at least in the wii version, when you play as a different character you dont get their lightsaber. It's kind of weird running around as darth maul with a single bladed lightsaber, even in duel mode. I was also dissapointed that the lightsaber was only able to be held backwards in the ps3 and 360 versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noizer Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 just finished the game in one day. dissapointing to say the least. story didnt grab me and the game was repetitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaris Vynn Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 When I finished the Game, I was a little disappointed. I played on the Wii and I knew ahead of time the graphics would suck, should have bought the PS3 but the kids wanted the Wii, anyway enough of that, back to the reasons that I was disappointed: The game was too short and I personally feel they created some huge plot holes.

Shem Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 People who complain about the game being too short should consider the file size of the game. On the Xbox 360, I put all my games on the hard drive for performance and anyway, it still to this day the largest game I've ever installed. Basically what I'm saying is I don't think it could have gotten much larger than it was which means it couldn't have been as long of game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saenjaina Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I tried it shortly at a friend's house. I was immediatly disappointed. For some reason, the game is cool to look at, but when you get the controller in the hand, it suddenly loses some of its charms. The story I liked. At least if it was completely true to the comic, which I've read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironheart Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 It was fun. The PSP version is pretty cool. Kept me busy for a couple of days. And then I beat it and.... I think I did a Luke style "Nooooooooo!" when I saw how it ends. That was a wee bit disappointing yeah. Cool in that it was different. But...

spartan181 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Like a lot of my friends, I was disappointed by the length of the game. Too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Too short but otherwise fulfilled my expections until a Battlefront III comes out on PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Vader Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 The story sucked, the game is too easy, the graphics are piece of crap, there's no pc version. That's true opinion. I really waste my money for buying that game. I thought it was good from the title, but it turned out crap. I thought this game is kinda of DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 but SW themed, but it turned out to be Spidey-like game. It doesn't even worth to be played 2 times. One time and I'm already sick of it. The only good point about the game is the new saber style. Well, it's not very cool, but it's an invention anyway. Overall 1/10, and that 1 point comes from the saber style only.

Which version of the game did you play? I far from adore the game, but you should give it credit where credit is due. The game won multiple awards for story including a Writer's Guild award for best story in a videogame. And I think the graphics for the 360/PS3 version are on par with most other games this gen. There are no difficulty settings on Wii/PS2, but on 360/PS3 there are 4 different settings, and I thought the Wii version was frustratingly difficult at points so I don't think being too easy is a complaint. Definitely no replayability though, agree there. After playing the Wii version once I didn't even get through the 360 version because while the gameplay was more fun it wasn't enough to make me want to finish.
