Trying to beat one of the most difficult (and most complained about) part of The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition (for Mac): Imperial Raxus Prime, for the Star Destroyer.

Basically, how the challenge goes is you have to pull a Star Destroyer out of the sky. It is consistently tilting one way or another, and you have to align it vertically and horizontally, before you hold S and start dragging down your mouse. There are intervals in which TIE fighters come out of the distance and open fire upon you, forcing you to eliminate them before they eliminate you. I have become rather effective at this. The main point is that you have to stand out in the open to drag down the destroyer, and you can't resume dragging the destroyer until all fighters are destroyed.

The main problem which I am facing is that once I get the ISS down to the point at which it would only be a few moments of dragging (almost to the ground), it tilts so far to one side and down, that by the time I just get it aligned, the TIE Fighters are already able to shoot me, and I have to let go and deal with them.

By the time I get back to the ISS, it has the same amount of "tilt" that it initially had, and I have to realign it, only to have fighters get upon me before I can drag it down.

Help? :confused:
 
Sorry, did this quite awhile on the 360. I remember it being a pain in the butt, and the most despised part of the game, besides the costume ( if you are not wearing the appropriate costume on the final level it glitched your achievements you got no credit for finishing the game & wherever there was text would just be lines of garbage text ) glitch.

What you need:
Max health bar
Max damage taken
Max force bar
Max force recharge speed
Max (min) force recharge delay
Max force lightning

Tactics:
1. Take out Ties ASAP
2. Grip destroyer, point it up all the way, and to opposite side of where it was, hold until next wave of Ties is about to fire on you. Do not pull it down at all on this grip.
3. Take out Ties ASAP
4. Grip destroyer (should be almost in position to pull down), follow control stick guide, pull down. Take 2-3 hits by the next wave of ties before releasing.
5. Repeate steps 1-4. Cross fingers you bring it down before the next wave of Ties hits you 2-3 times.

Additional info:

With max health and damage taken, you can get hit 3 times by the Ties, hit #4 = death.

By taking down 2 waves of Ties between the rounds of pulling the destroyer down, your health will recharge more (hopefully to full) before you start the second pull. You can always position it an extra time, to get more health from a third wave of Ties if you want.

With max force bar, force recharge, lightning, and reduced delay in recharging force, you should be able to take all of the Ties out on their first pass by you (left or right side). One quick jolt will cause the Tie to fall from the sky and crash. If successful, the destroyer will be about half way back to where it wants to go (so almost head on at you) if you took it all the way up and to the opposite side of where it wants to go.

The control stick guides work fine, but only for the first two times you pull the destroyer, regardless of how much you pull it each time, or how many times you grip it and reposition it. If you cannot bring it all the way down on the second pull, you can either attempt to line it up without the guides, or let yourself be killed. By gripping it and positioning it to the opposite direction before each pull, you will have the maximum amount of time to pull it down (hopefully no time needed to line it up before pulling).

If you miss a Tie and the destroyer is too far from being head-on when you grip it (and was going to pull it down), just reposition it back to the top corner and try to take the next wave of Ties out faster so you have more time to pull it down.

Personally I find dashing left (behind a podium) and double jumping up as the Ties make a pass make it easier and faster to take them out. When I shoot lighting from the ground or a single jump, I always hit the random debris floating by. When double jumping, you are closer to the Ties than the junk, and stand a better chance of hitting them.

That was from xbox360achievements.org, hopefully it may help.
