Not too bad. I thought the dynamics were a little clumsy and that the camera needed some work but all in all I enjoyed it. I will be buying this so that I can get into the story and the additional force powers. This demo only allows force grab, push, lightning, sprint and double jump but I am sure that there will be more. :thumb:

Got the demo and played it a few times. I like it alot and can't wait to get the rest of this story. I loved the destructibility of everything and the AI is pretty funny to mess with. I thought it was silly that you couldn't block blaster bolts and walk at the same time. They probably want to encourage charging right in to the thick of things and not being defensive too much. Fits the character better I suppose.

Can't wait till the 16th to get this game. I've got it pre-ordered at Gamestop and only need to pay a little more before picking it up. Gonna so be playing that at night after work.

Well, you guys get multiplayer and I won't. Is that enough love for you? :(

Played the demo yesterday, and I really like it. I'm interested to see what the new story plotlines will be that are supposed to be so important.

I played through the demo yesterday. Pretty sweet. The controls weren't the best, though. There were a few times I had trouble throwing boxes at the troops I meant to. It was pretty sweet when you got a direct hit by force throwing one of those boxes and killed a whole squad in one smack.

A couple cool things - I liked how the new apprentice holds his lightsaber, kind of "backhand". It always looks like he is about to kick butt.

I also liked how in the cut scene with vader and the apprentice, Vader tells him to "kill them all, federation or imperials", and the apprentice has this moment of doubt before agreeing. I hope this game has a good story!

Ok I've been playing this everyday for the last few days and I am impressed. Althought I am biased because I have yet to meet a Star Wars game I didn't like. But after being dissapointed with no KOTR 3, I was a little upset at Lucas Arts, but this may make me feel better. It this game will keep happy with Star Wars games for a little while longer while Lucas decides on whether to make KOTR 3 a online RPG or just put out a RPG multi platform.

I can't wait for the full realease of unleashed!

The story in this game seems interesting from what I have heard, much moreso than the clone wars, at least.

The animation for the game sure looks better than the cruddy style they used for the movie, that's for sure.
