i agree with most o f the opinions here. FU looks way too over the top & very un Star Wars-ish. What made the force so cool back in the day was its SUBTLETY, a word lost on the masses of today it seems. Ben Kenobi fooled stormtroopers with a wave of his fingers. Vader choked people across the vastness of space & hurled heavy objects at Luke without moving a muscle. Luke saw visions of the future and demonstrated super human (but still within the realm of believability) jumps & reflexes. There was no excessive flourish (which, having studied several forms of swordfighting, i've quickly learned flourish in combat just gets you killed faster) & there were no fancy colored "auras" or "halos" or "energy blasts". Personally, i think Jedi Knight & Jedi Outcast came the closest to capturing the proper "feel" of the force for a video game.
