of Jedi - and face decisions that could change the course of
their destiny.

.As its name implies, The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines
the and scale of the Force by taking full advantage of
newly developed technologies that will be seen and experienced
for the first time: Digital Molecular Matter (DMM), by Pixelux
Entertainment, and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. Paired with the
powerful Havok Physics system. DMM incorporates the physical
properties of anything in the environment so that everything
reacts exactly like it should - wood breaks like wood, glass
shatters like glass, s on the planet Felucia bend like
s on the planet Felucia would, and more. Meanwhile, as a
revolutionary behavioral-simulation engine, euphoria enables
interactive characters to move, act and even think like actual
human beings, adapting their behavior on the fly and resulting in
a different payoff every single time.

then drop them to the ground to explode like a bomb.
* In addition to new adversaries created just for the game, such
as fugitive Jedi and Force-sensitive Felucians, players will also
confront and associate with familiar face s from the Star Wars
films, including Darth Vader.
