You may remember that the April edition of the Playstation Official Magazine had a huge feature on The Force Unleashed. Thanks to The Force Unleashed.org, we have gameplay information for the PS3 version of the game via the Official Playstation’s Magazine. According to the feature,

• “Hitting the jump button while in mid-air does the double-jump, and you can also alter your body direction in the middle of a jump
• “When using the lightsaber if you button mash quickly you’ll do quick strikes, but if you’re more deliberate you’ll do more damage in the area of effect”
• “Your force meter is drained by using your powers (the more powerful the power, the more it’s depleted), but with even a liver of energy you use any power, even the most powerful, for a final desperation attack”
• “A “pay-off” camera view will follow a flying body or other coll incident if you pull off a spectacular move”
• “Blocking laser fire with the lightsaber is an automatic defense, but if you press and hold L2 the probability of blocking and reflecting that shot back at the enemy increases”
• “Exploration is encouraged and rewarded by finding holocrons. Sith holocrons grant power-ups (the exact type and format still to be determined), and Jedi holocrons are treasure chests, unlocking new costumes, lightsaber hilts, and lightsaber crystals”
• “A mini-map on the HUD will highlight enemies you know about and also have icons directing you to the next objective. It includes a snapshot of the map taken directly from Zed, the game’s level editor”
• Connect with a powerful lightsaber combo and you’ll slug a target into next week”Also of interest, the magazine has the game for a July release date…..
