swalden Oct 12, 2010 11:43 AM	@ELECTR id rather get it on xbox, i find these sort of games suit controllers over mouse/keyboard
phatbeat Oct 12, 2010 1:12 PM	I agree Electro the port was bad. @swalden the PC has xbox controller support, thats how i have been playing it. Man they make good trailers!!
sirtrancealot Oct 12, 2010 1:35 PM	I'm sure it at least looked better than the wii version. some of the nastiest fps graphics i've seen on a console. >.<
swalden Oct 12, 2010 2:06 PM	true, but my pc also doesn't have a surround sound system, or couch for that matter. there was a wii version? that would have been horrid
sirtrancealot Oct 12, 2010 2:43 PM	the motion controls we kinda cool, and there was a light saber duel mode that was Wii only. just hard to get past the wanting to rip your eyes out over the nasty graphics.
hectorbustnuts Oct 12, 2010 3:11 PM	I just hope the gameplay isn't as boring and repetitive as SW:TFU1
GeekyTalon Oct 12, 2010 3:49 PM	Gotta admire the story for teh star wars theres always something to tell :D. Wish the squeal will UNLEASH the potential of the game.
Camotec Oct 12, 2010 5:23 PM	MMMM Starwars goodness. I just got the PS3 Move, I wonder if this title will support it? and if so the Move will definitley show up the wii owners. If you haven't tried it, try it first before commenting. :) (yes its the best out there at the moment)
Mordecai Oct 12, 2010 6:11 PM	Electro: By the sounds of it the PC version was developed at the same time so hopefully should be designed with keyboard and mouse support from the get go rather then that crappy port they did from number 1.
alexdtree Oct 12, 2010 11:38 PM	see beautifully rendered starwars games makes me wish could see the movies just the way they are but with amazing CGI!
somemadcaaant Oct 13, 2010 4:31 PM	Agreed; games like this are designed for consoles, tho the original PC 'Jedi Night' games where some of the best games I've ever played and played multiple times, why didn't they jus upgrade those titles instead of starting from scratch again, the force unleashed was an on rails, dry and boring and mediocre game to say the least. Should have been called the ‘bore unleashed’. Companies are milking the trickle releases these days, maybe after the 5th title we might find something remotely worth while. -SMC
Electr0 Oct 13, 2010 6:02 PM	Yeah, I just finised playing it. I started off with a keyboard, but after the first level I had to borrow my mates Xbox controller. It was a lot easier after that. However there were a few gripes: the targeting system didn't work very well and the sound dropped out on a few levels, just to name a few. I guess we're all hoping for something a lot better.
