Did you buy Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II in a GAME store today? Then you'll also have been given a free DVD boasting a "cinematic movie" version of the original game. In reality, its a compliation of all of the cut-scenes from the 2008 title, but has been put together well enough that at first you may not notice. The traditional opening crawl of the saga remains intact and establishes the epic nature of the videogame, but quickly you'll notice how old the title's graphics engine looks two years on! No matter: the story was easily the best part of The Force Unleashed, a fact which remains true today. If you weren't there when the first game was released, then here's the premise: Darth Vader recruits a Secret Apprentice to hunt down the last Jedi and ultimately overthrow the Emperor...or so Galen Marek thinks- and that's where the plot starts to twist, big time. The 'movie' itself is well crafted for the most part, but sometimes the lack of a lightsaber fight taken from the actual game after a clip with two enemies brandishing sabres (then seeing one lying near-dead on the floor) is jarring to say the least. Overall, though, this re-cap is a neat free bonus, and should persuade you to get the sequel at GAME.
