Smack around Wookies as Vader in Star Wars: Force Unleashed

The first level of the upcoming PS3/Xbox 360 game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will be a Jedi-hunting trip to Wookiee planet Kashyyyk, where you get to assume the role of Darth Vader. It's like a childhood fantasy come true!

According to Vanity Fair, Vader must battle Wookiees using his full range of powers, simulated by the various technologies that make the game look so special.

Speaking about the level, Vanity Fair writes, "Then, pushing another button, he hurls that energy at the furry, fanged Wookiees. A bunch of them go flying off into space, causing the D.M.M.-enabled bridge to start rippling like a water bed. This sends more Euphoria-infused Wookiees toppling over the sides while those that remain struggle to regain their balance."

Between this and the tech trailer, it's hard not to get excited over the game's potential. We're still somewhat doubtful it actually plays as well as it seems to. It can't possibly live up to this, can it?

Looks cool. I guess this is the first game to use Havok+euphoria+DMM but no doubt other games will start using all of them too. I would love to see those three engines plus unreal 3 engine and see what a game would be like.

Can't wait to get it for my Wii, and yes despite that article not mentioning the Wii, it is indeed coming out for it.

I am tempted to get it for the Wii due to the MP aspect of the game, but I doubt that the motion with the lightsaber will react to my motion frame by frame instead of something similar to how Link's sword worked. That is really the only reason I will get it for the 360. I would rather have the better HD graphics.
