Zero Punctuation: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

[Illuminatis]

The other versions arnt really better lol. But seriously you should have known that when a multiplatform game that comes out on the wii its usually garbage, if you want to review a wii game try De Blob, its fantastic.

Wow, that was an awesome review! Couldn't help but crack up damn near every 8 seconds.

George Lucas causes cancer.

A. It's far too soon, since its just got out
B. Australia banned SH: Homecoming and Yahtzee can't get his hands on this game.

Australia is so weird. But bans never stopped people from importing games before.

Nice one yahtzee, but you just ignored the "review" part of the review more than you usually do. But in my mind ZP is less about reviews and more about the great points you make, like about things ruining the market and how a buissness that makes GAMES is too company-run. Reviewing your "reviews" with the wrong mindset can lead to viewing you unfairly, because you don't give a score and things (cough, mailbag showdown, cough) But overall you kind of repeated the same thing over and over closer to the end, instead of making a lot of great points supporting one big one. A great review as always though.

So don't say he's not actually reviewing and just crucifying the games for laughs (kind of ironic) he's just trying, subconsciously maybe, to make points. So look at him more fairly.

I also agree the prequel series is atrocious and most of it's games (or, pretty much almost ALL of the star wars games)don't turn out too well. Though this game might not be prequel series, it still gives us that kind of material.

I didn't think the chick was that unusual. I mean, my eyes, too, oscilate rather than do any of this so-called "blinking" nonsense.

I thought that was the norm. Apparently not. Perhaps I should see a doctor.

Man, I'm so grateful I get down on my fat white knees and thank God and my lucky stars every single day that I'm not, nor ever have been a starwars fan.

wii sucks the forced unleashed is a good game well at least for the 360 and anyone who thinks other wise doesn't know good games long live the 360

 

[Khanco]

To be honest, from what I've heard George Lucas Didn't actually have much to do with the game. Krome came up with the idea, he said he liked the sound of it and then they bounced ideas off him until they came up with a complete storyline.

Please note that this is not a comment defending George at all.

 

[Jack.B.Nimble]

Anyone else think his voice sounds different in this one?

I don't mean like he had a cold or something; more like a different mic or different compression or somesuch.

 

[nightfish]

Quite true about the SW franchise, its getting worse and worse I think.

Bring back the good old days when SW games made you drool i.e. Tie Fighter.

 

[Stammer]

*applause*

 

[ntnimara]

well.. the idea of the game was an interesting one..

but I suppose my fav part was when Yahtzee pointed out how odd it is that Luke is so weak when compared to the super pimped out characters from these games.. and even the characters in episodes 1,2,3

anyways.. good review.

I'm also kinda sad about the Wii scene quieting down.. I'm already waiting for the next Zelda game.. hopefully in Wind Waker graphics

 

[S_K]

*claps* man that was the best episode I've seen in a while. I especially loved the jab reference to the wii's soon to be released but should have been included from the start penis extension wiimote plus attachment which half the people commenting seemed to have missed so far.

This is a fanboy game with a fanfiction like storyline for fanboy star wars gamers, I mean the main character has a force push shockwave for gods sake! How much more fanboy then that can you get? Oh yeah every other new force power they added just for this game XP

P.S.

why do poeple hate the Prequels the 1st one had a good lightaaber sequnce the second one had a good battle and the 3rd one had both you can just skip the rest, anyone great reveiw glad i bought the PS3 vesion

A better question is you need to ask? Oh wait your alias is Spacewolf well that partly explains it...

 

[internutt]

The criticism was spot on and the review itself was hilarious. Zero you do not get old!

Bring on next week!

 

[Jarfis]

I still can't comprehend why Star Wars is held on such a hig pedestal by so many people who expect so much more for it, accept that Star Wars is essentially a story about magical space wizards with laser swords, turn off your brain, and enjoy it for what it is: fun.

 

[bartos]

this review sounds more like a direct insult to the wii. lol. now I think about it... thats probably why he picked the wii version of this game

 

[ElephantGuts]

That's what he gets for buying a game for the Wii. If the Holocaust had Wiis it would be so bad it would have had to been wiped from the history books and forgotten about forever just so the human race could go on. I just thought of that now. Not sure why.

 

[COR 2000]

Okay, the review of the game itself was decent, but the last Minute of it was the usual bullS(explicit) ranting that I've come to expect from the escapist.

I too blame Lucas...and not just for this game, for everything that's wrong in the world.

Idiot. That's the same thing as "Video games are responsible for fat kids and increased violence."

It's funny how you assume the 360/PS3 versions are better, the game itself is just bad

Okay, not to get all ranty, but the game isn't really that bad.

 

[Rath709]

So much Wii hate in this thread. Careful you don't get vertigo on the way down from your stilt-walking high-horses, foam-mouthed as they are with rabid fanboy-ism.
