yesterday, THQ has announced that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is available on mobile phones around the world, not just on the iPhone and the N-Gage platform. This is great news for Star Wars fans, since the game will become available for over 850 handsets.
The mobile game will put players in the shoes of Darth Vader’s secret apprentice, during the long and unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. This is a period spanning almost 20 years, since at the end of Revenge of the Sith Luke Skywalker was born, while in Episode IV A New Hope, he was about 20 years old. This is indeed an interesting period, and the game promises to be up to the challenge.
Players will have to assist Darth Vader in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi Knights – and also make a decision that could change the course of their destiny. The whole game offers truly cinematic action in really well designed and breathtaking 3D visuals.
With this game, the CellWeaverT mobile control system (that was created by THQ Wireless’ development studio Universomo) is introduced. It allows players to form sequence patterns through the phone’s keypad, thus making it possible for them to feel and use the Force.
