Kick ass with The Force. That's apparently what LucasArts is doing with last week's release of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. LucasArts tallied the first five days in unit sales of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. It has sold more than 1.5 million units in the first 5 days, becoming the fastest selling Star Wars game and LucasArts game to date.

“The record-setting sales of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed shows the undiminished power of Star Wars and its popularity across all media types, including video games,” said Darrell Rodriguez, president of LucasArts. “We’re blown away by the response to the game.”

We'll see the individual breakdown by platform in the September NPD results. I can tell you I contributed to the Xbox 360 and PSP platforms. Why both? Besides the obvious portable format for the PSP and the greater HD experience of the Xbox 360 release, LucasArts and developer Krome Studios added variety in the game's features. Keeping the core story the same, the PSP version by Krome Studios offers an additional mode of play with the Historic Missions. If you want to play as Darth Vader against Luke in one of the most memorable scenes of the saga, you can only do that on the PSP release. The level designs of the story mode are also fairly different. Just about every platform offers something different. Looks like that move has paid off. I'm enjoying both the 360 and PSP release now. Which one have you checked out and what features did you like best?

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is available for the Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3, Wii, PS2, Sony PSP and Nintendo DS. Also on the iPhone!
