This is the kind of game I bought the Wii for. I've been disappointed so far that it's gotten so little usage, but I've continued to plan on getting the Wii version.

Hell, why wouldn't you go for the waggle this time?

Looking at this title, I would have expected it to not be multiplayer.

Apparently the Wii "multiplayer" is only Duel Mode, which is 1v1 same console only. The PSP and DS version have 4 player WiFi multiplayer, but I believe those games are rather different than the PS3/360/Wii ones.

I'm in the crowd that didn't expect multiplayer anyway.

I'm still a little ticked off that there won't be a PC version, but I'm going to have to at least rent it for the Wii.

Whaaaat?

I'm just worried with the insane amount of hype this game has gotten, I won't have any option but to be disappointed when it comes out.

Where have you been? PS2, PS3, PSP, 360, Wii, and DS only. No PC version for this.

I wasn't expecting multiplayer so I'm fine with it. I've always considered multiplayer a bonus, not a requirement.

That's what I was really hoping for too since another game in the Jedi Knight/Academy series seems unlikely at this point.

I didn't even know there was supposed to be multiplayer until now. I couldn't see them doing anything revolutionary with it anyway. I'm still very interested in the single player. I think too many games try to tack on multiplayer so they can say they have it, only to have it never utilized anyway (see The Darkness.)

Jedi Outcast. Oh my Lord, did I play the hell out of that game. JA ruined the multiplayer saber combat. Superior single, FAR inferior multi. I played no-force saber-only 1v1 duels to the exclusion of any other gametype, and any other game, for the better part of a year. I placed third in an international tourney. Probably the only game I've ever been genuinely really good at.

It is a shame, but not a deal breaker.

The main reason I was disappointed was not that the game simply will not include multi-player. I'm all for having a rich single-player experience. There's no better example of this than Bioshock. The problem here is that the MP had already been created, the dev time was put in, and then scrapped so they could push it out the door quicker. Not to mention, this is a game simply built around, "Kicking someone's a$$ with the force." With a design mantra like that, why wouldn't you want to put in some kind of MP.

I'm sure it wouldn't have been revolutionary, but I was looking forward to throwing people off cliffs with my awesome physics based force powers. I'll play the game, as it still looks great. But having things removed from the overall package simply makes me a little sad.

Oh, I agree that Wii can do physics but what they've been planning for FU (...hee hee... FU...) is closer to CellFactor than Half-Life 2. Materials that break dynamically based on physical structure rather than pre-programmed break points, splintering wood, that kind of stuff. There's a neat trailer about it floating out somewhere where they throw R2D2 at a plank. Now, maybe it's possible they could do that on the Wii if they optimized the hell out of their code. I mean, Havoc is one fine piece of programming. From my understanding they aren't really even trying and they've simply cut that feature. I can't say I really blame them... it must be hard developing 5 games simultaneously.

If that's true (about the three physics engines) then I would agree the Wii wouldn't have a chance.
