It may not make sense to you that you’ll get to play as Darth Vader in the upcoming Soul Calibur game. That’s alright because we have news of a remedy for your geek torn heart. Stage 1 of The Force Unleashed is a Jedi-hunting trip to Kashyyyk. And who better to hunt Jedi than Darth Vader, the role that players will take over. Holy crap you will be force choking the crying bitches like Bobby Brown on a coke bender.
According to Vanity Fair Vader will take on the Wookies of Kashyyyk with all the force powers available. The beauty of total destruction will be a sight to behold, and should entice players to continue on the journey. This tactic has been used before in games, of course. Metroid has been notorious for starting you out with Samus’ complete array of armament, only to have it snatched away at the end of the first mission. The difference here is you’ll be playing as frickin’ Darth Vader.
I promised myself that I’d remain reserved about the title. But the tech trailers from last week, and now this news is testing my will. There doesn’t seem any way for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed to live up to its promised potential.
