The Star Wars Empire


It was not too long ago when the Nintendo 64 was the biggest game system on the block. At the time it had everything, from graphics to great games. But one of its greatest games was the Star Wars games. Now everyone knows that Star Wars has been around for years, mainly in the movie department, but as the years went by so did the Star Wars games for the new game systems. Over the years, the Lucas Arts Company has promoted many Star Wars games. Some of these games are Star Wars Knights of the old Republic, Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2, Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace and Star Wars Pod racers. Star Wars Battlefront 2 is the sequel to Star Wars Battlefront 1, but it is way better because not only do you get all of the clone and storm troopers, but you also get the main characters from Darth Vader to Anakin Sky Walker. But the latest installment to this great empire is Star Wars the force Unleashed. In this game, you get to play as Darth Vader's apprentice Galen Marek or better known as Star Killer. As you go on in the game, you have to hunt down some of the remaining Jedi after order 66 and at one point, begin the rebel alliance at the will of Darth Vader. As you gather the remaining enemies of the empire, you get betrayed by Darth Vader and become a Jedi with a mission: save the leaders of the rebel alliance. One of the final bosses in the game is Darth Vader himself and you have to battle him until you get to the final boss: The Emperor. When you defeat the Emperor you free the rebel alliance and they escape before The Emperor tries to kill them and Galen Marek Chooses to sacrifice himself in order to save them. In the end Galen Marek is the one that gives Senator Bail Organa, Jedi master Rahm Kota and Princess Laya the hope to finish what he started and that is free the galaxy of the empire. Overall the game play, graphics and storyline was awesome and I give it a 15/5.
