Why must Star Wars video games suck?

by Jeff Email

Despite the craptacular history of Star Wars video games, I was really looking forward to the new Star Wars video game "The Force Unleashed". With the promise of a fully-realized story, the Euphoria graphics engine promising lots of flailing-stormtrooper goodness, and just general bad-assery, release day was tantalizing.

Then I saw this review:

Sometimes a review makes you think "well, maybe my experience will be different", but it looks like the game is just a shotgun full of fail. Hell, there's one point where the game testers obviously just ran out of time ("Bonus objective: Default Text" WTF?) but they figured "Ah, ship it anyway".

I'm ever so disappointed.
