We've been told that the demo gives players "a taste of one of the early levels in the game: the TIE Fighter Construction Facility, under siege by a Jedi General named Rahm Kota.

The Secret Apprentice has been sent by Darth Vader to hunt down and destroy the General, but is also told that, in order to remain a secret, he is to leave no witnesses.

Also included in the demo is a tutorial intended to teach players how to use their Force Grip power.

Wow, thanks Dark, I appreciate the update. That's my next game.

Can't wait for the 16th of next month.

The Demo is available NOW (downloading it this very second) and its 904.62Mb which is very reasonable.

The 900MB trial lets you try out a 'special' version of the Tie Fighter Construction Facility level with extra force powers unlocked.

What's more, the demo features a "unique ending" especially for trial players, which we confirm isn't Darth Vader begging you to buy the final game.

The PSN version is expected shortly - perhaps even in tonight's update. We'll let you know if it turns up.

EDIT* The demo is short but the controls are really easy to pick up and i enjoyed it.

The demo is good, but not that great, it was fun, but after a while it got a little tedious.
Graphics are good, smooth, controls are great.
But, after a while of Storm troopers and red lasers it got boring.
The force powers were cool, especially the force push, can't wait for the full game though.

I just played it, seems pretty good. I probably may end up getting it when its cheap, not something i would go out of my way to spend £40 on it.

Dude, it won't go cheap for like 3 years.

Games like that stay the normal price forever.
Just look at Gears Of War.
I decided I wanted to get it 2 years later that it came out and I dished out 50 bucks!
WTF!

Hopefully, it'll be a B-day present, then I won't have to pay for it.

I love the realistic look of how things break. You can see splinters from wood, glass shows pieces falling, and medal looks and sounds real when hit. The combos look great.

It looks good but I'll let some one buy me it for christmas!

had a gander at the demo - pretty and no overly complex button combos though it took me a little while to get to grips with, erm, grip - at least just the throwing forward onto target type stuff as my spatial awareness is not great.

Like how the characters you attack react to you and sometimes cling to other stuff to avoid being thrown about...but looks like it may get a little tedious is there is no further variation in terms of combat. I dunno...would have to play the full game to appreciate it but so far it's not one I'd rush out and buy any time soon.

Albion Knight · 08-29-2008, 07:10 PM

At first I thought the demo was just ok. Then I felt the need to play it again, and again, ang again. I wish that he were more powerful but I'll just have to get the game for that. It was fun when I ripped a TIE (Twin Ion Engines

) fighter from the rafters and threw it at the troppers

So many good games to get this fall

Exactly how I felt about the game

There was just something about it that didn't give me the "HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THIS GAME IS AMAZING" effect.

I'm sure as soon as the full game comes out I will get what I wanted.

greatest game the demo, you can just pick up enemys and throw them like in halflife 2 awesome, just awesomw, i am defiantly getting this

Dark Drakan · 08-30-2008, 01:28 AM

At first things felt basic but soon as i was mixing all the combat together and learning to chain things together it was a hell of a lot of fun.
