A new character named “Starkiller” makes his debut in the game. Trained as Darth Vader’s covert employee, he is a strong Force user tasked with finding Jedi survivors of the Great Jedi Purge while attempting to hide his identity. However after being given the responsibility of sowing the seeds of the Rebel Alliance, which Vader aims to use to remove the Emperor. Starkiller starts to doubt his ethics and gradually turns the page on his life. Critics gave this game mixed reviews overall, praising its physics, story, voice acting, artwork, and soundtrack but criticizing its linear gameplay and specific issues. With more than a million copies sold in its first month, the game was an immediate hit in both Australia and the United States. With over seven million copies sold as of February 2010, the game was the fastest-selling video game ever.
Gameplay
Firstly, the Force and a light-saber are the player’s character’s weaponry. The main character’s lightsaber was handled through the developers like any other Force power. It intended for each button push to cause “something visceral and cool” to occur. A combination method is included in the game to combine lightsaber strikes with Force powers and to string lightsaber strikes together. Starkiller’s abilities and characteristics can be upgraded with experience points obtained from defeating opponents and discovering objects.
The improvement t team included “horrible” players to make sure the game is accessible, and the gameplay is meant to be simple to pick up. While players are free to run and gun their way through the game. The game rewards those who adopt a more strategic and undercover method. This game has easy-to-beat foes but the challenges come from how frequently the player must defeat these opponents. It can tire out the player’s character.
Secondly, the only PSP version comes with five more “historical” bonus levels that recreate key battles and moments from the Star Wars saga. In addition, there are unique scenarios. That can be played as various Star Wars personalities with the same capabilities in the mode of a single-player. Like all other crucial editions, the Nintendo DS version has 3-D graphics but no voice acting. Three of the five Jedi trials that Starkiller finishes at the Jedi temple in Coruscant to develop his skills are purely interspersed with some levels. These trials are all part of a DLC pack available for the PS3 and Xbox 360 editions.
Thirdly, the developers encountered challenges in organizing the more than fifty foes across the game’s diverse environments. Each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. When using extremely powerful Force abilities, players must also be mindful of how they use their automatically regenerating Force energy. If Force energy is used excessively, this can cause the Force meter to fall below zero and even go negative, resulting in Force debt that prevents the player from using any Force powers until the auto-regeneration clears it. However, the more Force debt a player accrues, the longer they will be unable to use Force abilities.
