  • Force Unleashed has gone down as a classic in the Star Wars game lineage due to its incredible physics, unique protagonist, and satisfyingly brutal combat. All these years later, it still hits just right.

    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

      Fr number 2 has more fun combat IMO would’ve loved to see the story get some attention I remember being home sick from school one day and I beat the entire game before it would’ve even been my lunch time 😂😂😂 crazy

      Yeah I was bummed out how short it was so I ended up replaying on every difficulty which I don't usually do.

    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

  • @BlackTGambit
    @BlackTGambit Před 6 měsíci +65

    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”

  • @Youraveragegamer_97
    @Youraveragegamer_97 Před 6 měsíci +42

    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

      You’re absolutely right, I totally forgot about that detail. Thanks to the euphoria engine this game aged well.

    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.

    • @mo_musashi_284
      @mo_musashi_284 Před 5 měsíci +1

  • @iisanulquiorrahara8

    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.

    • @cup1d_456
      @cup1d_456 Před 6 měsíci +3

      The euphoria physics engine was probably the best physics engine ever and still is. Sad that most games didn't use it since the euphoria Devs were like contractors companies would hire. But take two bought them so maybe in future rockstar titles we'll see it used more

    @m00nrac00n Před 6 měsíci

    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.

  • @andrewmitchell8389
    @andrewmitchell8389 Před 5 měsíci +2

    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.

  • @technicallyme

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

    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

  • @LunaticKD1991
    @LunaticKD1991 Před 6 měsíci

    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.

  • @guillermoortiz2620

    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.

  • @premoboy
    @premoboy Před 6 měsíci +3

    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 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?!

  • @calvinmatthews1527
    @calvinmatthews1527 Před 6 měsíci +4

    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.

  • @Ali-sh5sx

  • @andrewstencel
    @andrewstencel Před 6 měsíci +7

    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.

  • @kristopherwillis8075

  • @Polkametal666
    @Polkametal666 Před 6 měsíci +1

    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!!

    @nihilism4901 Před 5 měsíci

    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.

    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

    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.

  • @nickb1729

    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

    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 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.
