Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

My anticipation for Force Unleashed still simmers, although now some condensation of doubt is beginning to trickle down my over-extended metaphor. Recent videos have shown quite a bit of the game's combat, and though there are definitely some very cool parts of it, I am struck by two distinct negatives as well - namely, the hordes of brainless enemies, and the lack of gore or dismemberment.

I, along with I'm sure countless other nerds who grew up with Star Wars, have always wanted a Star Wars game that both pushed traditional gameplay formulas (rather than rehashing an existing template "in space") and allowed me to be a total badass with a lightsaber. With its heavy promotion and dark motif, I was kind of hoping Force Unleashed would be that game; but now I'm not so sure. Of course this doesn't mean it won't be fun. Really I just want to lop off Stormtroopers' arms. Is that such a bad thing?
