Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Message Board  

Simply put, is this game well optimized? installation problems? bugs? crashes? does sli work? 5.1 sound?

any info would be appreciated...thanks

Game is fun, Bit arcade like.
Camera points can be an issue from time to time, but nothing to serious.

Finished the game on apprentice difficulty. (Without cheats, wasnt released yet)
Not to hard. And if you get pushed of something, you usally just respawn at the last checkpoint, those are alot of.
Now I'm using the CH Trainer on Sith Master difficulty. See if I missed anything

I play with 5.1 Surround, but can't answer if its good. Simply because my speakers arent set to the right position.

Had only one crash till now. No serious glitches.
Tho i think the mouth of the characters look a bit odd, same as the eyes. But that is just how the programmers did it.

Installation took a while (imo) but no errors what so ever.

And havent been able to test SLI, but as in the start up ads, nvidia is presented, it should work just fine.

I can play at 1680x1050, max setting with ease. And I have a computer of about 2 years old (extreme at the time).

So i figure most people won't have alot of trouble playing this game.

Biggest downside, the game is to short

Any idea if it could run reasonably well on a Radeon HD2600 Pro 512MB video card, AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core @2.2GHz, and 4GB of 800MHz Ram?

It took FOREVER to install for me (as it takes up 24.6 Gb), it isn't really optimized for the PC only graphical option you can change is the resolution, nothing else. And the camera is a b***h. Feels like they just took it from the console and threw it on the PC.

While that's the negatives, the positives is its extremely fun to play, and while its short, it def has some replay value to it, you have tons of character skins to choose from, including both heroes/villains like mace windu jango fett, darth maul, etc. And like all other SW games where you can play as a jedi... you can change your lightsaber color (tho there's only a couple to choose from in TFU compared to other SW games).

Overall I recommend it.

BTW it lagged a bit on my PC at 1280x1024, in order to play it at decent frames I had to lower it to 1024x768. (Still looks wonderful tho)

PC specs:
Intel Pentium D 820 (2.8 Ghz)
ATI 3650 1GB (9.10 drivers)
2GB DDR2 800 Mhz RAM

i think u'll need atleast a C2D system and above to run this game properly with nVidia GTS250 and above.

i love the idea playing with "the force"
but damn the control system ruins it, the camera is simple bad feel like another bad port, and there are several other things like getting chain knocked down and beeing unable todo anything
the lightsaber feeling like a glowing stick, not the cutting tool it was showed in star wars jedi knight, especially vs humanoids ,
finished the game in little under 8 hours
had a good story tho, cool that there is a new suit for every part

well it was over all a "ok" game, a dissapointment...

The english version, is allready released??
German version will release on 19.11.09.....

But it's OK, i've allready read it..... ^^

install took forever oversized "HD" vids are the prob
it plays alot better if you use a controler luckly still have a 360 controler so using that, first game in some time ive had to bring res down for but i think its more down to CPU than G card coz the most obv slow downs is when lots of stuff is flying and as it isnt Physx am thinking a quad core will easly take this game
