For a first look at the Wii version, Star Wars: Force Unleashed is showing some serious potential. We’re anxious to see more of the game in action, and find out just how accurate and entertaining the duel mode will be with all characters and options unlocked, but thus far it seems to be a great offering on Wii, especially considering that Nintendo’s console is short on pure action brawlers. The force powers are fun to use (even if they area a bit simple for our liking), the combat is fast and reliable with the Wii-mote, and the Wii version is pretty pleasing to the eye, pulling off some better visual effects than the PS2 version, and running in 16:9 and 480p. It may not be the 1:1 “virtual lightsaber” that Star Wars fans have been dreaming about for decades on end, but it’s a fun beat-em-up, the control works and is very dependable, and the first mature Star Wars experience on Wii. This one is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
