It's pretty fucking amazing, best ending I've ever seen in a game as well.
I played a demo of it and I found it a bit boring to be honest. A good idea, but just not really up my street.

It's quite difficult, it's a puzzle game that consists outside of nothing but puzzles. Colourful, stonereffic as well. I really like it.

It's great. My only complaint was that it's too short.

Yeah, beleed' dat. You know there's actually a sub-quest in the game which involves the correlation of stars in the backdrop on the world-choice thing?

What did you think of the ending?

Just bought Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Probably a bad move, but hey, I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff.

Yeah man, the one where you can pick up TIE fighters and chuck them into stormtroopers. It was out today. I'll try to remember to provide some sort of summary on Monday.

Sounds like a homophobe. game for girls.

Whos played that game, Call of Duty 4 on xbox?

Yeh man, 51 kills 8 deaths on ground war...Apparently Ice Cube and Xzibit play xbox. Ice Cube's gamertag is Lord187x. I have yet to add him but hopefully he will let me get down with the SMG crew.

haha it does sound like a girls game whats it about?

I hadn't heard good things about 'The Club' on ps3 but found it really enjoyable to play especially since there's few multiplayer games without having to network on the ps3

Sure did. It's a pretty enjoyable game to be honest. If you're a fan of Star Wars, then it's definitely worth investing. There seems to be a lot of attention on using the force for picking people up and throwing them etc, this play seems the to be the best way to get the skill points rewards and stuff. The lightsabre fighting is pretty cool too, there's some good combos that you can put together. It definitely lets you get into the frame of mind of an all powerful Sith/Jedi - once you've upgraded the character a bit, you can happily steam into a room full of baddies and kick the shit out of them (once you've got used to the sometimes quite dodgy targetting/camera system).

Visually, the first few levels of the game are very impressive, and really get you into the game, although I'd say thqat the quality of the levels does drop a bit (you play through some of the worlds twice). Some of the characters are pretty good and the storyline is reasonable for a computer game too.

It has to be said though, that there are some very annoying little bugs. It left me wondering sometimes whether they'd even bothered with playtesting. Stupid little things like getting stuck on scenery, or things failing to load. A couple of times I actually needed to reload the game because I got so badly stuck. But I can forgive these mistakes cos in the main, it's good fun, and I'm a Star Wars geek.

I'd say a solid 7.5/10 I prefer it to Devil May Cry because I prefer the subject matter, but I guess in terms of pure quality, DMC 4 wins.

Ah cool, blazed a twenny twen twen ?

Yeah I'd hope so, but it doesn't excuse lazy programming really. It's unforgiveable to have so many bugs on a final version of a game.

True, with a queue of people wanting to test it out. Pure lazy, sort of reminds me of GTA4.

Have to say, I haven't experienced any bugs on GTA4.

Both. I experienced no problems with the stroy mode, and aside from lag, there weren't any problems with the online modes either...

Have I missed something?

You're probably like the only one on this planet who hasen't.

The online was horrendous for a while... it's fixed up ALOT since release.. even the last month or so i'd say its been pretty much flawless... saying that i havent played it in a while..

And before FeasWeas comes in

, the same problrems were occuring on both consoles...

The forthcoming PC version will be flawless,and over shadow both versions.

*imagines the mods*

gta4 was a real let down for me. got 40 percent through and got very bored of just capping people and running away from feds.
