Lucasarts have announced that the all powerful Darth Vader will be playable in The Force Unleashed. However, he will just be available in the game’s first level, and from then on you will instead take the role of Vader’s apprentice – which is the guy you have most likely seen in all recent screenshots and videos of the much vaunted title.

As Vader you will apparently get to play with all the force powers available, causing as much destruction as you want, thus getting a good taste of what’s to come further on in the game. If you ever played one of the Metroid titles you should be familiar with mechanic, although in this case you won’t be losing your powers, but instead switching to a different character to build from the ground up.

Sounds exciting, but it was recently announced that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will be released this September, so you’ve got a bit of wait before you can grab your red lightsaber, and truly understand the power of the Dark Side.
