After reading some of the reviews I just can't get myself to go out and buy this game. I am hearing that the entire thing is only 6 hours long.

I would expect that from a $20 game, not a $50-$60 game.

Has anyone played it yet?

Awesome. Encourage them to pad out good games so that they become interminable, crappy games.

I'm probally going to rent it, but I will buy it after a while just to say, "Ya, I own that game and it kicks ass/sucks ass".

In GP's defense, I think he's right. People expect at least 20 hours of gameplay out of a game, and that's a low estimate. Anything else is a rip-off.

I would assume its a joke, but since nobody ever can tell with you, I thought I'd ask anyways. Are you saying that even if the game sucks when you rent it, you are going to get it anyways just so you can brag about owning it and how much is sucks?

What a disappointment. I also heard the controls were really clunky. I'm not typically a fan of Star Wars games, but this one seemed promising.

If its a sucky game, probally once it hits the bargain bins. If its a good game I'll buy it right away. The demo kicked ass in my opinion.

If you still like it, that's fine. But if you thought it sucked, why would you get it anyways?

Syd, I don't even plan on releasing video reviews. Yes, I would right reviews down in a note book to look back on them to see if the game was shitty or not, but I would still play it anyways. I collect games, because I love games, not because I want to show people if a game is shitty or not and make money by releasing DVD's.

I don't think they should pad it, they should reduce the price of it.
6 hours of game play does not justify a $50 price tag.

In the future, please link to the thread that you believe that this should be merged with. I must have missed it.

It was a thread started by you.

Not a real thread.

Aye Carumba! You're really on a roll. It is practically impossible that out of all the star wars video games out there that any self-respecting fan of video games couldn't find at least one that suits him. Theres racing, rail shooters, rpgs, action/adventure, vector games and more. That, and the entire star wars franchise is not based soley around the popularity of light sabres.

I don't know what game you guys are playing, but Force Unleashed is awesome. Granted, I'm only on the third level so I can't say whether it's really six hours or not but it's fun as hell to whip people around the room with the force, throw things through space station windows so everyone gets sucked out into the void, rip TIE fighters off racks and send them crashing into groups of enemies, etc. And the character designs are cool, I just beat a Jedi master of the Aleena race (remember that guy in the pod race sequence who goes "Waaagghh!" right before he blows up? One of those guys) who has an armature system that lets him run around like a frickin' spider monkey on crack and hurl engines at you. It's fun shit.

So ok, I defended something everyone else thinks is unpopular and mentioned the prequels in a positive light, five seconds or less before Uncle Joe is in here saying I don't get laid or creating flimsy insults from my sig image which apparently he thinks looks like a penis though I think he just sees what he desires most...

lol man. You sure are an angry fellow. What gets me is that you're busy chastising people for having an opinion on the game (which I think sucks based on the demo). And you make out one silly little comment that I made as if I've been bothering you for years. But it's cool, keep it up.

You got to admit, the one on the right does look a helluva lot like a cock.

This sounds like one of those "I love it"/"I hate it" type of games. I think I'll grab the demo.

Add to your collection? That works. It make no less sense than somebody paying insane money for a copy of Bubble Bath Babes.
