Yeah, that's right.

First of all, sorry for no new updates lately. Anay and I have had a lot of things to do. Now, on to teh review!

Fracture is the new third-person shooter from LucasArts. Yes, the same LucasArts who made the ever so disappointing Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. The demo came out the 18th of September and I finally got it and beat it.

The big hook of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was that The Force was a powerhouse of… well… power. The big hook in Fracture is what they call Terra Deforming. Let me clear it up for you:

Terra Deforming is the opposite of Terrforming. Terraforming is the act of creating terrain, hence the terra. Terra DEforming is the act of destroying terrain. Here’s an example.

The Terra Deforming in Fracture is actually real cool. It’s easy and quick to use (coughunlikeforceunleashed’sforcepowerscough) and you can use it in a variety of different ways. You can use the Left Bumper (I played it on my Xbox 360) to lower (if I am correct) the ground and the Right Bumper to raise it. That easy. Of course, there are the weapons that Terra Deform in a more fancy way, but to just do a simple raise or lower, that easy. The shooting is very good. It’s just what you would expect from a shooter game. Now, when you mix those two, it makes for the need of a strong mind. You can raise the ground to act as a wall to fire from or you can lower the ground and hide in the hole. You can raise the ground around an enemy to trap him or lower the ground he’s on to make him fall. You can use it to your advantage in many different ways.

Now, with all this said, it’s not all good. The demo suffers from the same fate as The Force Unleashed, IT’S. TOO. SHORT. You can finish it in about 5 – 15 going straight through. Now I took about 20 -30 minutes because I explored a bit, messed around with the weapons, and even found a few secret areas. It was also a bit too easy, but I was only playing on normal.

So, from what I have played, I would say this would be a rent for me when it comes out. It’s fun, but not so fun that I am like “I NEEDZ IT!” It still needs some tweaks and if they tweak it right, it will be a good game. Fracture comes out October 7, 2008 on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
