So I tried playing FORCE UNLEASHED In 2023... 

Really wish they had been given proper dev time for the sequel, the original was awesome and the foundation was there for an all-time great Star Wars game

If you think Vader killed the stormtroopers because he wanted to save the padiwan you definitely need to re-watch that scene. It served 2 purposes one was to stop them reporting to Palpatine and other was to gain the kids trust since he just watched Vader kill his Dad. Wasn't out of kindness lol

Loved how Vader was generally impressed at how such a young child took his saber with the force and thought “hmm yeah I’ll adopt this one”

Neat fact force unleashed 1 and 2 are the only non rockstar games to use their game engine, no wonder why using the force in this felt so badass

I grew up with the Wii version and it's honestly still my favorite way of playing it. The utilization of the wii-mote as a lightsaber brings me childlike joy each and every time I play it, taking me back to when I was a young teen playing it for the first time. It was so important to my experience that I outright skipped The Force Unleashed 2.. because the lightsaber combat was locked to the A button. I've since tried the game out on PS3 and PC, but I've never really gotten myself past the first level on either. Even the Switch version, which is largely a port of the Wii version, didn't feel quite as good to me because of the way the joy-cons are built compared to the wii-mote. I might give other versions, like the PS2 and 360 TFU, a try sometime just to see how things feel now, but as far as I'm concerned, the Wii version *is* Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

The Force Unleashed is one of my favorite Star Wars games of all time! I've played the PS3 version, Wii version, PS2 version, DS version and the Switch version which was a remastered port of the Wii.

Fully agree with you on that Episode 3 is goated. Watching it in theaters was an unforgettable experience

Thanks for the extra grind to keep episodes going during the break, hope the whole team enjoys their time off!

This game has the most impressive physics in any game to this day

I think its funny that on Switch we got the Wii version ported lmao. I played on the xbox 360 originally but i do own the switch physical. Starkiller is awesome but i remember the huge debate online about him using the force on the star destroyer lol

PSP version is the GOAT! Sunk so many hours into the Order 66 mode

I played this on PS2 back in the day, and despite being disappointed that the protagonist didn't hold his lightsaber the edgy way, backwards, it was a really good time, with an awesome story that I'm sad it's not canon.

As someone who's owned the TFU on PS2, he's right, this version is definitely worth playing. I loved the level designs and combat, they always felt so Star Wars. Additionally, the alternate costumes & skins were great and varied, as well as the lightsaber colors. Massive shame on how the sequel (& would-be sequel) failed to deliver.

In my heart, Starkiller is still canon. I also loved the sequel. Granted it's a glorified DLC but the team wasn't given enough time to make a proper sequel.

I played this game so much on ds and wii, the lightsaber lock on the ds was so fun

oh yeah. as someone who played both the ps2 and the 360 versions back in the day, the xbox version was a spectacle but the ps2 version was where the gameplay was at!

I loved this game so much! I think I bought the WII version first and loved it because at the time I thought the motion controls made sense (not sure if that holds up). I then asked my parents for the PSP version and the PS3 version. I played both to death and then again on the switch. Still hoping for a high quality remake and a third game in the series.

Bringing down the Star Destroyer with the force is one of the best moments in all of SW Lore.

These games are classics. Starkiller deserves to be canon

Loved this game and love that you covered it! I will say though, this was not the dawn of in between storylines in Star Wars 😂

Sweet! You got the Star Wars Kinect Xbox 360! My friend has that one, too. Very cool.

I loved this game when it came out,but I hated the Star Destroyer scene, not that I didn’t think Starkiller could do it,but that it was so damn frustrating to play that scene. Even with the annoyance of playing that part I played through it many times over the years. The sequel on the other hand was disappointing, it’s too bad they were not given proper time and resources to make it great. At least we all still have the various permutations of the first Force Unleashed. Great Video!!

Awesome video as always Matty. I think I'm going to try this out on the PS5 over the holidays. Happy holidays to you and yours Matty.

I had the Wii and the DS version growing up. And man did i adore the DS version. Not sure how well it holds up nowadays but back then it was the pinnacle of DS gaming. For me.

I first played the demo for this game on PS3 back in the day. I currently own the DS and Switch versions of the game. They're still fun to play.

I had the game on ps2 as a kid, and then i saw my brother playing it on his 360 and i felt so gyped! Like why does your version look so much cooler then mine?!

FYI, the Wii version is the one with the Duel fighting mode, the PS2 version doesn't have anything extra like the Wii and PSP versions.

Just btw, if you going by all the lore around Star Wars, taking down 1 Star Destroyer with the force is par for the course. The Sith Lords and higher were monster monsters. Even though I didnt like the new trilogy, Darth Sidious lightning power taking out so many ships isnt out of place

Just now seeing this and man I needed sum nostalgia ✨

YESSIR my all time favorite star wars game 😊 I would love a remastered version of this game.

Got this game as a kid when it came out and damm, the nostalgia just hit me. I remember it being a bit eerie in a way, there was this robot level that kinda spooked me as a kid. But finished it eventualy. Honestly a great game with many environments. I remember this super cool armor for Starkiller that had the helmet/mask in particular.

The force unleashed 2 had the fun mind controller lines with storm troopers. Like "who are you people" and "for the rebellion".

This video drop was totally unexpected!!! 👍⛄❄️🌨️

Glad to see you give some love to the PSP version of the game, I know people rave about the PS2 version but not many people give attention to the modes that the PSP version had compared to the other versions

Real talk, they need to rerelease TFU1 with all of the content across all versions into one Ultimate version. More so than the Ultimate Sith Edition. Would be awesome to have that at some point.

My favorite Star Wars game. Loved all the extras. So much replayability with all of the different skins and lightsaber colors.

One of my favorite Star Wars games. I played it on PC, PS3 and psp via the Vita. It was the first game I saw in “HD” at my local Toys R Us back in the day.

Isnt the first level on the 360 also Nar shaddaa? But you're on a orbital platform or something?

It's games like this where I wish there wasn't A strict Policy in canon. My head canon is that Sith Lord star Killer Overthrows Palpatine, who admits his Defeat, and hands over his Empire. Gaining more powers And he Goes through the Rebellion. Teams up with his apprentice Luke Skywalker to save a Tortured Leia, From The Clone of Starkiller. From there He reshapes the way how the sith operates. Getting rid of the rule of two (to spite Palpatine) When Leia asks to also be his apprentice. And goes to other parts of star wars and created an Empire Of Neutral Chaos. Star killer also finds and saves proxy, putting him in charge of An old Droid army from the Clone wars. All that And more.

I loved how each version of this game on different consoles weren’t completely the same this is easily my fav Star Wars game

I genuinely had no idea that the different consoles all had different versions of the game some way. Always thought it was a singular experience. Crazy to just find that out now. Would love to know what other games have this sort of feature if you could call it that

My favorite thing in these games was to just pick up dudes and knock them into things. The physics blew my mind! The sequel is messy, but the first game has an amazing story.

is this optimised for the series x because I would love to play it again

I bought and played this on my pc a month or so ago and it was a blast. I wish they would update the game with graphics and more fluid gameplay

I recently just got TFU 1 and 2 on PS3 and got all the dlc lol

is the wii version the same as PS2? I got the wii version for the motion controls (i know)

Starkiller was also a guest character in Soul Calibur 4

I just finished playing the switch version of to long ago would love next get remasters of the 2 games with all dlc included on ps5 and series x

I LOVED this game back in the day!

The Wii version was very different from the XBOX 360 version. I as far as I remember I like the level design of the 360 version better, but the controls on the Wii version was great. I spent a lot of time just putting boxes on another, turning them in space or using clones as projectiles for target shooting XD

I recently played the game as well and still enjoy playing the game i wish they would make a 3rd game

Underrated game, it was my all time favorite Star Wars game as a kid. The dlc was fire, a very good what if? The sequel, for what it's worth, was fun and op, but too short, the first games DLC was way better than the second.

This is my second-favorite Star Wars game of all time. The Force Unleashed 2 is my number one. These games are the Star Wars stories that convinced me to give the Star Wars franchise a shot, because I didn't watch any of them before I ran into these two games. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 1&2 will probably never be dethroned as my favorites when it comes to Star Wars games. Because no other one that I have played has ever come even remotely close.

The PSP version stays on my Vita forever.

Matty is the goat 🐐

Great game a lot of memories. I do like it I can play it on my switch since it's my only console beside PC but I can bring my starwars library anywhere. So nice. But I will say the PS2 version is definitely the best. That is the one I grew up playing. Wish I still had my PS2

Mr "Call me Master" Matty 😂

I had psp version and 360 version but preferred the psp version over all . Order 66 mode , historic mission . And back when other people had the psp doing wlan mode in school and dueling

I never played the ps3 360 version of the force unleashed I only played the ps2 version and I loved it

I love these games so much I literally have played every version and I have no shame and 2 was great just not the full product we deserve

?? You say you are playing on Xbox 360 but how did you get the graphics to look so good? Graphics on mine don't look anything close

I only played the PS3 version, but loved it

Vader didnt save him because he was good He saw how powerful the kid was mistaking him for the master He saw an opportunity to mold him into the perfect apprentice to take down palpatine. A true sith

"The Force Uneashed was the dawn of that kind of content" Shadows of the Empire *hold my beer*

Are the extra levels on the Steam version or only the PS2 version?

This game is so much fun

Playing this game on Xbox Series X is upgraded to 4k with 60fps It's incredible

What a game!

i took a break from this game and never came back, this game definitely was some heat tho

This game was so good man

is the 360 and ps3 the same?

I love Force unleashed I have the collectors edition of both games complete in box and haven't even touched the USB that came with the second game. First game has better story, Second game has better gameplay.

Bro the psp version was what I had and it was awesome

I grew up playing the ps2 version. Gotta agree that it is the better game. But the DLC for the 360 version more than makes up for it. You can honestly play both games and it will feel different.

Definitely do the sequel game 💯 I rocked with both of them. I had the PSP version of Force Unleashed 1 and it served its purpose as a handheld 😂🙌🏾

I played the wii version I loved it

Dude please make a video of the sequel I just bought it for the PS3

When tried playing Jedi: Fallen Order earlier this year, I wished I was playing this instead.

Bro it so weird almost everytime I play an old game you just happen to upload a video about it a week later 🤣

Wii /ps2 version was the goated game

I miss when you could have completely different versions of a game on different consoles.

What about the PC version?

The 360 version was my favorite

PSP version was peak

They should re make this, not remastered but from the ground up

Force Unleashed is peak.

The PS2 & Wii ports of this game feel better and work better in my opinion but there’s no doubt that either way you play it you’re bound to have a blast

Nar Shaddaa is a moon over Nal Hutta not a planet, great video tho

I played the PS3 and PSP versions. While both have their advantages, I prefer the PSP. In particular, I like the horde mode. For a game about showcasing force attacks, I’m really surprised only this version has a horde mode. It makes sense because it eliminates the long cutscenes and awful platforming that can hamper gameplay

Unfortunately the switch version is the Wii version. Wish it was ps2 if that’s correct

And it’s excellent

Guy really missed the Wii version with the arena fight mode. Still good vid though.

I never liked the underhand grip on light sabers. That grip supposedly gives you more speed but at the cost of reach. With real swords with real mass it may be true. But there is debate on whether you are faster or not. It might just give you a -1 to reach. With a massless beam of light there is no benefit to the underhand grip.

He didn't talk about the ds version

This game is a RELIC !!!!

I replayed it in 2023 too and boy did this game age like shit especially that damn star destroyer mini game

Vader wasn’t saving the kid bc he felt bad your talking about the guy who killed kids in order 66 he saved him bc he saw he was strong in the force

No you missed the point Starkiller is a Force Wrecking Ball

The PS2 version, is more grounded? Entuned?to the Novel

Actually the Wii version is the best one to play (it's the same as the PS2) I HATE MOTION CONTROLS but this game was so smoooooooth!!! Imagine if you enjoyed how smooth was the gameplay on the PS2 version you're gonna love the Wii version and how responsive are the motion controls.
