Star Wars: The Details Unleashed

Folks have been watching the console version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed because it looks like it's going to be the benchmark for kicking ass with The Force in video games. The DS version hasn't received much focus in the discussion revolving around the game, so little has been said on exactly what DS owners should expect from the handheld title. That is, until now.Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will supposedly employ a third-person perspective when playing the game, much like the console versions, but there will be 2D animated cutscenes instead of the highly-detailed snippets found in the game for consoles. Moving your character around will be handled with the d-pad, while interacting with the game will be handled primarily with the stylus. Also, there will be a multiplayer mode allowing for up to four players to enjoy over wireless, though further details on that are not currently available.
Sounds good to us, we hope the control scheme can be pulled off. We'd like to be able to kick ass with The Force outside the comfort of our own home, as well as within in.

I'm really glad you brought this up. I've been really disappointed by the lack of news about the DS version of this game which will probably be the version that I will buy as I don't have a Wii, yet. Anyway, it sounds pretty good. I'm glad they're going with a third person perspective. I hope it will be true 3D, though. I also wonder how they're going to work in those special new elements they've talked about. I forget their names, but you know--the stuff that makes the environment and enemies act as you'd expect them to.

well I know for the Wii all the new AI stuff won't be in it. instead its just cool animated moments. only the 360, and ps3 can handle all of the new technology for this game.
