Anybody know what character skins you get with the SW:TFU mission pack? I'm borrowing the game, so I don't feel too guilty about throwing a couple of bucks their way on DLC.

Plus, how awesome would it be to tear shit up in this game as C3PO.

There is a link above with the character skin information. Looks like you can have your fun unleashing the force as C-3P0.

If any one was actually still playing Star Wars Unleashed.. I'd hope it's DLC would fix a few of the bugs, there's plenty to choose from.. & maybe even adjust the powers so they did actually feel unleashed.. my fable 1 character was so much more powerful..

V8 I still mean to download past the trial, I remember playing it back on Sony's best effort, the little grey box

They did release a patch.

Can't speak for your playing ability, but I felt badass when unleashing the force as Starkiller.

I won't be getting the other character packs, but the mission DLC comes with a skin for Darth Maul. Shame it won't have any of his move-set but should still look awesome.

Even with a maxed out Starkiller, & playing the easiest setting.. using lightning & force push, it honestly felt.. restrained. On Fable 1, using the 'same' powers, I felt more 'badass' before they were maxed out..
Some point, I'll go back through the hardest difficulty, to see if the achievement unlocks this time, but I'm in no rush...

Did you have to DL an update when you last played though? It may make a difference. Also use force grip more, nothing better than flinging around 3 stormtroopers at once. Personally I love the game, although I do love Star Wars.

I did hard first,, then easiest.. then back to hardest, which bosses felt overly cheap, felt like the old days of hit & run.. I was running in to every book in the book, like taking 30 seconds to get back up (not even being attacked), or whwn sliding into a wall from a hit, dropping through the non-existant gap, the odd 1-hit death, clipping problems when jumping/dropping to other platforms.. my experience of the game was pretty broken..

I suppose it's like Tomb Raider Underworld, that only had the odd issue.. but then it was installed..

has it being installed to the drive made much difference??

See they all sound like pre-patch problems, I got it after the patch and didn't encounter anything that annoying.

Hey, maybe I was just lucky. I havn't tried installing the game onto my HD though, may give it a try and see if it helps. Gotta be able to get those loading times down, haha.
