Force Unleashed mission pack will delight Boba Fett fetishists

Force Unleashed mission pack will delight Boba Fett fetishists

The Tattoine Mission Pack is available now for Force Unleashed. Here's the official word.

Artoo-detoo and See-Threepio have crash-landed on Tatooine carrying important data that the Apprentice ("Starkiller") must intercept. After fighting Jawas, Tusken Raiders, and Jabba the Hutt's minions, Starkiller must battle the famed bounty hunter Boba Fett before engaging in a final confrontation with one of the galaxy's last remaining Jedi!
Boba Fett is one of the original scams perpetuated against Star Wars fans, right up there with separate Bespin outfits for all the action figures. The guy is a tool who somehow got the reputation of being a bad-ass. He's the Eminem of the Star Wars universe. I'm also a little worried that they're spelling out R2-D2 and C3PO. Is that canon now?

Anyway, I'd much rather Lucasarts did something to add some replay value to Force Unleashed, or fixed up the sloppy targeting that made the lead character play more like the Tasmanian Devil from a Bugs Bunny cartoon instead of a jedi. Here's my take:

Tattoine. Frak, I'm still only on Tattoine. When I finished the game, it was worse. I'd wake up and there'd be nothing. No multiplayer, no replay value, just a C-3PO skin. I hardly said a word to my 360, until I said "yes" to an uninstall. All I could think of was getting back those six gigs. I'm here now... waiting for a mission pack... getting softer. Every minute I put up with this game, I get weaker, and every minute Lucasarts dibbles out content, they get richer. Each time I looked around my Microsoft point balance got a little smaller.
Was that too Forced?
