Lightsaber Unleashed - unleashed!

As predicted earlier this week, TheMacBox’s Lightsaber Unleashed (aka PhoneSaber 2.0) has been released today in the App Store in a new and improved form, and is now the official Star Wars version of the product.

Lightsaber Unleashed allows you to use your iPhone like a Star Wars Lightsaber weapon.

To quote the iTunes product description:

As you swing your phone, a range of Lightsaber sound effects will be emitted from your phone’s speaker (or connected audio output). Not only that, but you can also drawn and withdraw your Lightsaber.

You can choose your Force Unleashed character of your choice, as well as playing some duelling music to get you in the mood!

Last but not least, you can enter a full screen Lightsaber mode, to enhance your lightsaber experience!

Lightsaber Unleashed is available here for free in the iTunes App Store, compatible with iPhone and iPod touch (requires iPhone 2.x software update).
