Gamers and Starwars fans alike got a new taste of the film classic on their game consoles as LucasArts released Starwars:The Force Unleashed Wednesday. Associated Press reported that the game has garnered mixed reviews, but a toy industry analst, Anita Frazier predicted good sales for The Force Unleashed given the iconic stature of the Star Wars franchise. Some complaints that have been gathered so far include the inability of the Wii controller to be used as a light saber. The Star Wars game was released in many platforms, "including Microsoft's Xbox 360; Nintendo's Wii and DS; Sony's PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, and PSP; and even Apple's iPhone and iPod touch." In doing so, Lucas Arts accomplished two milestones. First, it was the first time the game developer ever released anything for the Playstation 3 and Microsoft Xbox. Second, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is the first time that a game of such iconic position was ever released for the Ipod and the Itouch. The goal of Lucas Arts is obviously to increase their bottom line, and that remains to be seen. But at least for now, they can bask in the historical victories of their accomplishment.
