LucasArts made an announcement regarding its highly anticipated title, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. As it turns out the game will be released on September 16, 2008 in the United States, September 17 in Southeast Asia and Australia, and September 19 in Europe.
"Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is one of the most ambitious projects LucasArts has ever launched.

Looks nice but i'm sceptical of this-
"great new Star Wars story with revolutionary new technology and game play means more fun than you've ever had in the Star Wars universe,"
of course there going to hype it up, while i wasn't a fan of the more recent storylines i.e attack of the clones etc, but i expect this to be good once the levels/world is because it will depend on that with this dmm tech imo..

bahahaha! not only did europe's release date get shafted by the U.S. but they're behind Australia and Southeast Asia as well! why does this industry always test the patience of europeans? be it PSN store updates, video games, or just about anything else gaming related... europeans are always getting their patience tried
