The trailer is absolutely epic, however I do have one complaint about these games. Every single time they bring out a sequel to games like this they just keep putting in more and more powerful force users. I hate to be the type of person that complains about these things but come on.....by the time these games go any further one of Vader's apprentices should be able to force crush an entire planet.....why bother wasting time and resources to build a death star when you can just get Vader to train a guy for a year or two?
That's it for my rant.....so glad to see it's coming out for the Wii though I dread seeing that cinematic intro then being stuck with the wii's ****** graphics.
Thanks for posting that link, very enjoyable.
Well, I wouldn't think of the game as really "canon". I totally agree with you there. The game designers aren't really creating Siths or Jedis anymore. They gave this apprentice godlike powers in these games. The apprentice can destroy a Star Destroyer with one simple swipe of his hand, easily wipe out a whole garrison of Imperial Stormtroopers, (Including Imperial scout walkers & regular Imperial walkers) destroy squadrons of Imperial TIE fighters, and kill a herd of bull Rancors, and even monsters bigger than the Rancors. (And he can do all this before breakfast.)
Why would Vader also abandon someone who is actually several times far more powerful than Yoda, Palpatine and himself combined? The game designers would also keep adding super new cosmic powers to this apprentice character, that eventually the Death Star would become obsolete! They made the apprentice so powerful that he could take on the combined forces of the whole Jedi council and even the Mandalorian army without sweating. This would also invalidate the prophecy of the "Chosen one". His powers are almost on the same level of cosmic galactic powers as the galactic planet destroyer, "Galactus" from Marvel Comics. (The novelization book of "Force Unleashed" is even worse.)
Don't get me wrong, while the game is really cool, and the trailer is awesome, I think that the game designers really, really, really went overboard with the apprentice's powers. So what will we see next? Apprentices that can destroy a planet with his or her pinky finger? Whole star systems destroyed with one slash of their lightsabers? And if they get really mad, they can destroy millions of galaxies by a mere snap of their fingers?
The nice thing about the Star Wars universe is that we get to see Jedis, Siths, Mandalorians, Imperials, Bounty hunters, and Rebels with human limitations. They all know that they can get killed in combat, but they are willing to take a risk for their cause. Even Vader & Yoda as well Palpatine had limitations. When your remove those limitations, the game designers are basically creating a god. (They should rename the title as, " A cosmic god unleashed!")
This really isn't really Star Wars anymore...
