Star Wars: The Force Unleashed DLC Review


The Force Unleashed just got its first downloadable level and it is called the "Jedi Temple Level Pack." The pack is available at the Xbox Live marketplace for 800 MS points or about $10. The DLC includes a new single player level and several new characters including Mace Windu, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Darth Maul. To play the level you need to start a new game and there will be a list with the normal game and with the Jedi Temple game underneath it. You don't get to use your player from any saved games that you have however they start you with a character with almost all of the powers and abilities and you will level up several times.


The level itself is fun but a little short when you figure out what to do, it is not as long as the normal levels in the game and that was a little disappointing. The story is simple, Starkiller is going to the ruins of the Jedi Temple on Courscant to find a hologram and hopefully learn more about his father. There is a very cool boss character and the action is just as fun and challenging as the rest of TFU so if you liked the game you will like this DLC. The level is also more destructible than the majority of the other levels in the game so that is a nice element.


The level doesn't bring anything radically new but it sticks to what worked in the game and that is a good thing. I would recomend it if you liked the game, if you didn't like the game than this won't change your mind.


Overall: 8/10
