'Star Wars: Force Unleashed' for iPhone Now Available

Monday September 15, 2008 3:33 pm PDT by Arnold Kim


THQ Wireless Inc has released Star Wars: Force Unleashed [App Store] to the App Store. The $9.99 game offers a companion game to the full version due for release on September 16th. The game is described:

Experience the Star Wars universe as never before. The devastating power of the Force is in your hands. You are Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice, trained by the menacing Sith Lord to hunt down the last of the Jedi. Unleash a barrage of Fource Powers - including Grip, Lighting, Jedi Mind Trick and much more - at the flick of your fingers as you tap, touch and swipe your way through enemies using the intuitive touch-screen mechanics and exclusive CellWeaver feature. Your journey will take you across the galaxy to clash with powerful enemies, yet you are destined to clash with powerful enemies, yet you are destined to become something far greater than just Darth Vader's servant.

We'd previously seen screenshots and an early video of this major gaming title.

It's $9.99; no surprise there. Here's the direct link:

Didn't know how to create a phobos link but i noticed "Star Wars The Force Unleashed" was on the main banner for the app store. Clicked to investigate and says that it was released on the 10th. Never seen it before...

Thumb resize.

Strange thing is that a search doesn't bring it up nor does having a look at THQ's other games. Maybe iTunes needs updating. I couldn't do a review either. Awaiting reviews before purchasing.

Should just make this free...for the sake of promoting a bigger price tag item.

Seems like the whole game is gesture-based (draw shapes to kill different enemies) - it's an interesting idea, think I'll wait for a review first though!

It is. It's an on-rails gesture-a-thon. I'll have a HD video shortly up on my site showing how it plays.
