I hope they get to work on a different game so I can ignore the atrocity that is Starkiller. He stinks get rid of him.

There's so much to explore in the SW Universe and they picked just a crap character and storyline.

Any expansion stuff should focus on good characters.

I'm still a bit sad we didn't get: "REVAN: THE FORCE UNLEASHED", honestly. It'd have been great to just kick ass all the way to the Sith Emperor... then cripple him before he could launch his attack on the Republic and thereby set him back three hundred years.

Or whatever.

Just more Revan, basically. My fanboyism must be sated.

Revan... action game... TFU engine... drooling

I'm still astounded they haven't added him in a costume download. Bring on the PC mods! not_talking

Continuity aside...

Revan vs. Katarn.

The mind reels.

( If a Sith dreadnaught can travel thousands of years into the future... so can Revan. grin )

He went forward in time to fight THE Sith, the TRUE Sith... on all his shadowed worlds... DARTH SIDIOUS.

How did he do it? Well, he met this girl called Shmi and introduced her to his knight of the old Republic. tongue

Holy Karking Sith.

I was on the Imperial Kashyyyk mission, just after you meet Elderhett, and that chicken walker started coming at me as usual. So, I picked up a single (albeit big) rock and threw it, like I always do. Only this time, it went much, much faster than normal. So fast, in fact, that it utterly destroyed the walker and smashed it clean off its legs!

On Sith Master difficulty. silly

Still, it was probably my "crowning moment of awesome" with this game.
Did u find the Firaxan Shark above the Wookiee cage? (must wreck the entire cage) I tried bringing it down off of the cables to no avail... after I stopped and admired frozen binks...

TFU:USE... I feel cheated.

Maybe I should have picked up the PS3 edition. The 360 version is on two disks. Why is that a problem, you ask?

Simple: unless I'm missing something somewhere, I don't think you can use the new Hoth costume back on the ordinary TFU disk. And that's all the ordinary TFU disk is: an ordinary TFU disk. It has all my old saves and everything. The new bonus disk is the one that has the Jedi Temple, Tatooine and Hoth on it. Maybe the TFU disk has all the costumes on it or something, impossible for me to tell as I have them via DLC anyway.

But... yeah. Does anyone know how to get the Hoth costume across? Maybe you can install the extra disk onto the hard drive or something? I dunno. Never actually done that with a game though.

So, apart from the fact that an already extortionate buy for a single new bonus level is now a single bonus level that doesn't even interact with the old game at all, the actual level itself is so-so. For what it does, it does well. The cutscenes are fairly good, and I particularly like the initial appearance of Starkiller and the way it parodies the airspeeder flyby from ESB. The Luke fight was fun, and the ending has left me wanting another Infinities DLC to finish the ANH/ESB/ROTJ sequence off.

Aside from that though... not a lot to say. If you haven't bought the DLCs, maybe it's worth it. If you have? Well, all it was ever going to mean was an extra costume... and it doesn't even seem to deliver that on the 360 version. I assume since the PS3 is all on one disk that won't have the same problem, but 360 wise I feel cheated out of my chance to beat people up as "Lord Starkiller". not_talking

So, I had a further mess around to see whether the Hoth costume can be used back in the original game...

As far as I can tell, the answer is No it cannot. So that's that then. plain

I should have bought the PS3 version. frustrated
