One thing I did know for certain, having played the game for countless hours as a lad, was that the controls were far too complex to map to a gamepad. What am I supposed to do, dig out my old Gravis and put it on a dinner tray? Play on my shitty little laptop and let my big screen go to waste? As incredibly excited as I was to play these games again, I just wasn't sure what I was going to do control-wise. Sadly this was not the case, but it would have really made the time investment more enjoyable and worthwhile.With X-Wing and TIE Fighter having been unexpectedly re-released this week, and me with my gaming PC in my living room hooked up to my TV, I found myself in a bit of a pickle regarding how I should play two of my favorite PC games of all time. More importantly, the threats should have increased in order to make the upgrades worthwhile to players. It indeed makes sense for Starkiller to start out as a talented overachiever, but the gameplay should have been adjusted around the level of play to make it more enjoyable. Regarding gameplay, however, it did not work.

It is understandable that the Jedi/Sith hand-picked by Vader and Palpatine would be a formidable foe. Quite simply, Starkiller is incredibly overpowered. This defeats the point of having stat upgrades in the first place. The basic stats that players start off with are quite effective and overpowered throughout the game and the upgrades do little in way of affecting any major changes within the stats. Leveling up, or earning and utilizing upgrades, make very little difference as you progress through the game. Unfortunately, it was yet another missed opportunity. Seeing a polished combo or dueling system in this revamp would have been a welcome sight indeed. Starkiller being overpowered kind of helped balance this issue out, but in doing so, the "epic duels" still remain short and shallow. Sure, Sith masters are more inclined to chaotic dueling led by their emotions, but it has always felt like there was a lack of control in the controls. With lightsaber battles, however, there needs to be a lassoed feeling of control.Īfter all Jedi masters are very disciplined and tactical. It was fine to play against minor characters with Devil May Cry-esque chaos. Constantly hitting the same button obviously offers very little variation and enjoyment to a franchise that is known for epic duels. If just button mashing the "X" or "A" button delivers effective results without having to implement combos or level-ups, it makes for a weak experience regarding swordplay. Yes, the lightsaber mechanics are still incredibly dull. With a few polished graphics and a bit of tweaking, surely players would have a nice distraction while awaiting the Knights of the Old Republicreboot. Surely, the Switch release of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed could indeed use some sprucing up.

Naturally, when word spread about a re-release of a decently accepted member of the Star Wars gaming franchise it was only natural that fans of the series would feel a sense of intrigue. Star Wars Video Game Characters Who Could Take Darth Vader in a Fight Many games were scrapped, some sequels trashed, or put on hold for an uncertain amount of time. Since then Star Wars games have been very hit-or-miss. It looked that way at first, until a rushed sequel later, and in 2012, Disney took over. Surely following the success of Knights of the Old Republic, Jedi Academy, and Battlefront II (the original) the future looked bright for the company. P>LucasFilm Games was planning to emerge from the ashes of financial struggles with the release of 2008's Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
