Comparing Every Version of The Force Unleashed 

Ive only every played the ps2 version and now im so curious about the other versions. My experience is basically the same with the original Tony Hawk Pro Skater games (1-4) ive only played the ps1 versions and just recently within the last couple years i found out about and saw the huge differences in the in the ps2 versions that ive never played

I've played 4 different versions of this game with the 360, wii, psp and that el crappo phone version shown right at the end. Honestly would say that all in all the PSP version is the single greatest version of this game by far. It has the greatest content available at the cost of low end graphics. This game displays the absolute embodiment of why modern gaming sucks. The content is all there and it's all amazingly good fun to play.

You just brought back so many memories. I remember renting the wii version and a few months after it was returned I wanted to play again and bought it for the Xbox. I was so confused when it was different.

i experienced the same thing except it was the force unleashed 2 and I first played it on the wii and later on ps4 game streaming

@@panthastaa34 I played it on DS, PS2, and Xbox 360 I think the 360 version was better

Agreed it was badass

I liked he held the lightsaber forward

The final fight with palpatine was intense man :^]

Plus if you know what your doing, you could do a infinite lightsaber combo

I liked it better when star killer held his lightsaber forwards and not backwards

Did you ever try to keep as many clones alive as possible throughout the mission? Cause that’s what I always tried to do as a kid

@@cr2031 yea I remember restarting the level cause I either killed one of them or they died

PSP one also had nice feels. Like GUN: Showdown, it is a rare case of the portable version having more content.

its true that fans more liked ps2 i had ps2 abd pkayed that before flagship it feels great with more content

PSP gang anyone? 💀

The cutscenes and gameplay are so painful on the switch! The PS3 games look more similar to what we would play if it was released today!

@@broadwayfreak2007 Ps3 is identical to the Xbox 360 and while the gameplay is more smooth I still think it is inferior story and setting-wise. PS3 and 360 had too many dumb gimmicks like the Death Star puzzles and crashing the star destroyer that I never wanna replay. There are pros and cons to both games though and no version of this game is jank-less by modern standards.

@@broadwayfreak2007 Even still, you gotta admit the line delivery is waaaaay better on the PS2/Wii version

Only thing that sucks about the switch port is that since the wii version never got the dark side story missions dlc they aren't in the port

@@user-ue8il6jx3b Yeah that's the sole reason I bought Ultimate Sith edition for the 360 back in the day. The Jedi Temple levels in the port blew the jedi temple dlc away though in my opinion so it balances out.

Definately. I remember playing late in to the night, desperately trying to win 66 and I don't think I ever got it

As someone that played the PSP version, I’m disappointed that it wasn’t in the Switch release.

Same i also played the psp version but want to get the switch version

I never owned a psp, but ppsspp is my favorite emulator by far. I might have to check it out that way.

Agreed.

Is it better that way?

@@iris089 maybe not better, but it definitely entertained us when we were young!😂

I don't know if I'd consider that "genius" tbh. 🤨

That's why I prefer art styles in games that don't try to be "photorealistic".

@@ltb1345 I'm conflicted on that part cause like how fallout looks cartoony I HATE that, breaks immersion for me that one should be realistic, I would like it to be more like cyberpunks people, they're stylized a bit but look so good they kinda trick me into thinking it's real very well

@@a.o.skurtt I definetely prefer graphics and the world of Fallout 4 over the previous titles, I like how they took Boston with the Victorian buildings and color scheme, added in the 1950s color schemes of "modern buildings" rising over a older Town, it's gloomy but it just work with the colors. The colorless grey of 3 and the Yellow cowboy tint of Vegas didn't do it for me. Still enjoyed these games ofc. A lot of games from 2014 on did a lot of things prior decade did badly and improved it, but failed at what made games good before 2014 on. What makes FALLOUT 4 works is the Artstyle. The power armor was an amazing improvement and so was a lot of things, but all the improvements cut in on the story creation and instead of taking the assets and create a new game with a good story, Bethesda opted for a Online experience 😒 which is why MS bought them, they want that Online money grad game that they can milk like GTA5.

@@birdsteak9267 Fallout 4's art style is bad. The game manages to be both colorful, and washed out.

@@Nevergofullretard321 And i love it. Real life is both colorful and washed out. Opposed to Fallout 3 which was grey and bland and New Vegas which was yellow tinted and bland, these are the two aspects that makes it hard for me to go back yesrs after, though I am 100% entirely burned out on all the games to be honest due yo at least 500-700 hours in both but at least Fallout 4 visually have a draw whereas F3 and FNV does not.

I remember that too! The code was either Cortosis or Vergence I can’t remember which! Great memories!

I still have an old notebook with the cheats written down in it

I remember the cheat to unlock and upgrade all force powers was “Katarn”, which was incredibly exciting for me because at that point Jedi Knight 2 was the only Star Wars game I had played, so the Easter egg was amazing.

I had the wii version and then I played the Xbox version. The graphics were pretty but it wasn't nearly as fun.

Yeah lol I beat the Switch version recently and wound up with all combo moves maxed out and unlocked and near the very end a million points to max out all my unlocked force powers and what-not

Damn that’s actually super cool, I wonder how much those would be worth nowadays

😊 😢😮

Secret memory unlocked, the leftovers littered the game isle for years after release

An old friend of mine had those and when we would do the battle arena he kept hitting me in the back of the head because he would swing too wide.

Why should anyone be surprised that children are stupid and shallow?

The PSP version is the one I played, it was a little surprising the differences these versions had. God I had so much fun.

Lets everyone request the developer to bring back this game. Just imagine how better it can be in todays day and technology got so far. They can make a super game.

That and Nar Shaddaa is previously seen during the Tie Factory level (its the planet the factory is hovering over). I assume Flandrew knew all this but just wanted to Segway into the next bits of the game (albeit a tad weirdly).

In the krome version, he finds him at nar shadaa, but kota later says he was saved at cloud city. In the lucas version, he saves him at cloud city but starkiller just says “head to nar shadaa”

Me personally, I think that both versions were supposed to have the same amount of content, but something happened during development for the flagship version so they slightly rewrote stuff so it made sense in the game.

@@NC-cf7kl The Cloud City mission in the PS2/PSP/Wii version is one my favorite levels in the game.

Yeah but content vs gameplay… whats more important for a GAME that you PLAY!?!?

@@jilliebean6312 content, i couldn't care less for the PS3 version tbh, the PSP mechanics were more than enough

@@jilliebean6312 PSP/Wii’s gameplay actually has more variety including stuff like controlling turrets and other moveable objects, plus it reduces a lot of the bad QTE stuff like the terrible Star Destroyer mini game so I say it wins on both counts.

@@AVGNROCKS1996 This. Bosses actualy fight you instead of being 3 phases of attack, defend, heal. Thats for YOU by the way. You have a phase where you can attack. A phase where you have to dodge a bunch of blows, then a Phase where something spawns in and you destroy it for health. Try attack outside of the attack phase will just get you rekt. Its incredibly boring compared to the other versions. Also less force powers and combos, less enemies and much weaker enemies. PSP version was the best by far.

@@AVGNROCKS1996 Ngl tho the QTEs on the flagship version almost seems better, I remember playing the Switch version you had to outright restart any failed QTEs

Yeah but who talks about SoulCalibur 4?

@@Unethical.Dodgson Listen Soulcalibur 4 was fun

Shortly after Disney bought Lucasarts they pulled all dlc related to star wars related to sc4.which means you cant buy yoda or vader on xbox or ps3 anymore.

@@Unethical.Dodgson talim fans who are salty she was cut from sc5. Yes i am one of those, why do you ask?

@@danielgertler5976 In my case was my dear Amy. The character I used the most, simply vanished. (I didn't like Viola, neither her fighting style or her aesthetics )

I would prefer that version, because Starkiller being so strong just always felt like a Canon killer for me. Or that he manipuled the controls inside the ship, which also would make much more sense, though such things would rise questions why Vader didn't do that to Luke, you know, just hijack the stick with the force 😬

That's actually how it happened in the book too, which is the official version of the story.

Yep i remember that

Your comment is great! I am actually getting the DS version soon through the mail(probably this week) CIB at a very reasonable price. I have the Xbox 360 version and really enjoyed it. I really don't care what people are saying about the DS version. The DS is my favorite hand held gaming console and I'm looking forward to the game.

@@TANKTREAD Oh, yeah! I understand why people throw shit on the touchscreen controls in this game, but once you 'adapt' to the scheme, it really serves their purpose very well, and the possibility to link the force moves to make another ones is really entertaining.

Obviously I'd have bought the 360/PS3 version had I owned either console in '08, but the DS version was a rare example of a handheld alternative that didn't feel like a complete waste of money compared to the home console version to me.

I loved the ds versión too, got great memories of it, trying to find all the crystals etc. Liked the story, the combat the force powers, the time on the ship between levels and everything. I loved the xbox version I used to play with my cousins for the graphics and chaotic gameplay but the ds ones got a place in my heart

I got the DS version for Christmas, I loved it, probably my most favorite DS game of all time

They serve the same purpose. They are the Jedi trials. On the PS3 version you do the trials by moving the platforms to make paths and moving the light ball on the line before fighting the evil version of yourself kinda like how Luke fought a Vader vision on Dagobah. On the PS2 version you go to the temple multiple times and each boss represents one trial.

Lol, I had the DS version first and then the PSP version. I'm waiting for another sale to get the Switch version. I know the Switch version is built in the PS2 Wii version although I don't know why?

Fun fact if you activate force rage in the Wii version he will hold it like the 360 version

but you can make a game with instant kill and be challenging at the same time, Jedi Academy does this and you can even enable dismemberment

Hm. You know who else has turned lightsabers into glorified baseball bats? SWTOR.

Yea he slams him to the planet below and isn't 100% sure he is dead; senses him later. I suspect Vader taught Starkiller to never assume they were dead without a body based on certain past experiences.

Right. I just played the PC version, he mentions Nar'Shadaa, but later on bespin he says I tracked you from Nar'Shada to Cloud City. Just we don't see Starkiller's investigation.

Force Barrage was so sick, I can't find any documentation on him having that in his moveset, but I used it all the time. Had to connect every skill you had to do it. Ripping shit off the planet or ship your on and dropping it all around like like death rain is sick

LO gotta remember vaders sound to taking damage, that sounded like a tire screech lmao

Yeah the combos were kinda fun. So many reenactments of Ventress killing Commander Colt, but with the Imperial officers and Starkiller instead this time.

You took the words out of my mouth my friend. I thoroughly enjoyed force unleashed on the PSP and it was definitely one of my favorite games on it.

I just wish the PSP version would be available on PS4/PS5 etc. i just loved that version

I grew up on and loved the PSP version as well and was definitely a little disappointed when I played the PS3 version and saw there were no story battles haha

@@XxStealthPhenomxX You remember that combo where you do some force lightning and then a force push?

i loved the wii versiion as a kid, but as an adult who didnt wanna buy a whole wii to relive my childhood, i just settled for a 5 buck xbox port for my xbox series s

right

@@hellatubbies882yt you could emulate it! it's quite easy to set up with Dolphin

I remember having the PSP version, then looking up the cutscenes online and being super confused lol

Ps2 is my preferred version of the game. I played the 360 recently and was sideswipe by how different it was, a little upset too since it wasn't what I remember playing but overall still fun.

I had the ps2 version first too, that was when I found out that not all consoles have the same features and not all versions of a video game are the same even though the console I have is in the same family, Yeah it was a surprise when I played it and it looked nothing like the ps3 version plus it was dark and hard to see sometimes. It was fun but the best level in the ps2 version was the cloud city mission where you have to find your way through a army of mercenaries including a small group of mandalorians and save a senator.

I felt exactly the same, ps2 version is superior

There's an fps fixer? Good to know, I tried playing a few weeks ago and the lag was really annoying

Meh. If they stucked to one version, there may or may not be fans upset over Starkiller being too OP when he pulled the Star Destroyer out of orbit. Only the DS shows the Star Destroyer already falling towards Starkiller instead of Starkiller pulling it down like in the other versions.

Yeah, I died like 3 times to a space frog there’s no way Darth Vader is even gonna break a sweat lol

lol yes

Agreed. Surprised so many people on here seem to prefer the Wii game.
