Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a mostly underappreciated gem, though there's one mini-game that's left fans irate ever since the game's release.

In one level, protagonist Starkiller has to use his Force abilities to literally tear a Star Destroyer out of the sky, as was a memorable component of the game's marketing campaign.

Sadly the scene itself is painfully annoying, as the player has to switch between using the Force to manipulate the Star Destroyer - with a set of needlessly fiddly and obtuse controls to boot - and keeping waves of TIE fighters at bay.

As the game does an incredibly poor job of explaining the Force controls to the player during this set-piece, fails-a-plenty are certain, made all the worse by the fact that it's totally unskippable.
