Star Wars : The Force Unleashed (PSP Review)

As most of you may know Star Wars : The Force Unleashed is a new release from Lucas Arts about Darth Vader's secret apprentice. The story begins as Darth Vader looking for a Jedi hiding in the Wookie island. When he kills the Jedi and finds the Jedi's son.
The son becomes Darth Vaders secret apprentice and is a slave to Darth Vader.

Gameplay: 7/10
The gameplay of The Force Unleashed is alot of fun. You can do alot of things with The Force and as you keep killing enemies you gain Force Points with which you can unlock more force powers or upgrade what you already have.
And of course, Jedi on Jedi battles are AWESOME.
Something cool is that you can customize your lightsaber with different colours, hilts ,etc.
The camera is a bit frustrating at times but its not too bad. And every 30 minutes or so it stops at the frame and loads sometimes in the middle of a battle which is annoying.
First playthrough will last you ~8hrs or so.

Sound: 10/10
Nothing to complain about this really. The sound brings back old memories from Star Wars movies which is great. All sound effects sound great even through the little shitty speakers of the PSP.

Graphics: 7/10
Not as good as Chains of Olympus but they're still good for the PSP. Charecter models look a bit edgy.

Story: 9/10
The story is great but i dont want to give spoilers. It has everything - love, deceit, action, adventure, twists and turns, etc.

Overall: 8/10
The game is alot of fun with alot of extra content. The action starts when you start the story mode and it ends when you get bored of frying Jedi's and Robots (which is a bit hard to get bored of) And the multiplayer mode is good too you can battle your friends. Its a great game.
