    Has anyone played this? Is it any good?
    I've been seeing some mixed reviews, mainly due to a buggy game, but it got some decent reviews on ps3/360. Not sure if this is worth the 30 gb of hard drive space.

    well its a beautiful game and they did release a patch. so its a little more stable now but will require a highend system.
    i play with everything maxed but i do get a bit of lag sometimes.
    great story but id rather play batman:aa instead

    I really enjoyed playing this one, particularly found the physics and messing around with the force powers really fun. You can use the force to throw your enemies around, smash them up and down or push obstacles into them. As mentioned before it is not very optimised so a high end system is recommended.

    I heard you cant change graphics settings when it came out, does the patch allow that?
    Im on a mid-end laptop

    core 2 duo t5750
    4 gb ram
    mobility HD 3650

    Played it, loved it, played it four more times. Never dropped below 30 FPS, never went above either as it appears to be locked there. Goes to 60 in cut scenes. The PhysX is really amazing, and the AI is pretty good too, they try to grab objects or each other if you lift them. AI will lose balance on some unstable objects and trip. Beating a character against a metal door till it opens is very satisfying. lol I would post pics but I can't cause of the language filter... lol This is an album of pics.

    edit: In fact after I finish S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat (Probably the greatest game I have played to date) and BioShock 2 (pretty good sequel I am enjoying it, worth the $118 I paid for the Collector's Edition) I am loading up Force Unleashed again. XD

    You can play on your system but only with patch. I have weaker laptop than yours with same graphicks and less ram (2GB) and just a little better processor and the game runned flawessly . With disabled high details FPS was 50 and withaut 30-35. Play it it is amazing game.

    I just finished the first level and the jedi fight gave me about 5-15 fps on average, really really unplayable but i finished it. Are there any performance tweaks for this game? Because it has potential but the horrible port just ruins it.
