The more I see, hear, and read about LucasArts Star Wars: The Force Unleashed the more excited I get for the highly anticipated all major platform release on Sept 16th.  There are 2 big reasons I see gamers piddling by the front door for it: the tech & the tale!

• The Tech

Two major players, DMM and Euphoria, jump in and shake hands with Havoc physics to team up an play a balls to the wall contest of game realism. 

Digital Molecular Matter (DMM) from Pixelux Entertainment is taking us to new environment heights.  We reached the concept of destructible environments and moved into their realistic physics by which materials have natural behavioral properties; glass shatters, liquid spills, concrete crumbles, etc.  

Euphoria by NaturalMotion.  A behavioral simulation that adds unpredictability and the uniqueness of realistic chance! How your character moves is not scripted, there is no key frame animation!  It’s done on the fly in a simulation engine making it will be different every time.  Adapting to experience and changing the nature of your character’s interactions and responses gives a truly fresh gaming experience, every time you play. 

• The Tale

To be frank, I’ve had one major problem with the infamous and beloved sixtology.  Both Luke and Anakin were, quite simply, whiney bitches.  That aspect notwithstanding, it’s an epic adventure that every person, child and adult alike can easily get absorbed by, and this tween sounds equally as exciting! 

Somewhere between episode III and IV, the continuation of the prequel released after the 2 sequels to the original which turns out is a sequel itself *whew*, the dark Sith Lord trained a secret apprentice, and I do mean secret; he doesn’t even have a name! This mysterious guy travels from chewy’s Kashyyyk to Raxus Prime and Felucia, with his droid pal Proxy, a proto holodroid.  Throw in a beguiling Juno, the imperial pilot, and characters like Maris the token padawanian hotness, Jedi Mastress Shaak Ti, and General Rahm Kota and take them all through a great dark destiny and a hunt for a rogue Jedi!  mmmm had me at hello, you did…mmmm!

The trailers look AWESOME!   Some of the force actions are so fly they match some of the all time best game moves.  Take me to the Dark side!

Kiss Kiss,
