posted August 5th, 2008 11:52 AM EDT by arn in News, Upcoming Games
THQ Wireless has released eight new screenshots of the upcoming iPhone version of Star Wars: The Force Unleased. The game was shown at E3 and offers a gesture-based interface to invoke “the force”. The light-blue paths seen on the screenshots represent gestures that can be used.
An early video provides a look at the gameplay with samples of the gesturing interface.
The game is expected to be released on September 16th for the iPhone and iPod touch. No pricing information has been released.

this is my number one game that I can’t wait play. Maybe cause I’m a starwars geek, or maybe it’s because it looks slick. Probably both

This could be a fun MMORPG

Call me a hater, but I just think this isn’t the right platform for this kind of game. It’s like putting God of War on the iPhone. It just can’t work out to be a good game. With the complete lack of tactile controls, it creates a huge disadvantage right off the bat. Gesture based is kinda nice, but I have a feeling the game will be repetitive and somewhat unintuitive.

From the video, it looks like all the player is doing is moving from screen to screen and doing the gestures that are shown. I agree that it seems like it will just be very repetive. I’ll wait and see what others think when it comes out.

Well, this will be a definite buy. Hope that it is not repetitive, too.

Man i gotta say this game looks sick!!! I love how they make you do figure movements to do cool a$$ combos with your lightsaber.
100% buy for me…
The only way it could be cooler as if they made you swing your iPhone around like the Free LightSaber app and thats how you did combos…
Although at some point i’d most likely hit some big a$$ wrestler in the head and get my a$$ kicked… not so cool then… lol

Nice, the gestures are a good idea. I agree with Chris, an MMOG version of this would be cool, but let’s at least hope for a 2v2 LAN mode

Gameplay kinda reminds me of Dragon’s Lair

How the heck do they get an actual release date when most other publishers submit their stuff to Apple and wait weeks on end? Maybe that’s when they’ll submit it, or perhaps they just have a fast-track review with Apple… I’ll go with the latter. It must be nice to be a multimillion dollar company - just another perk, I suppose.
