I loved the Wii-version as a kid, but I really hoped for the 360/PS3-version to come to the Switch, because this way I see no chance for The Force Unleashed II to follow onto the Switch.
I have been looking forward to this game but it sounds like I will not be able to play the thing I have been looking forward to the most… I don’t have anyone else to play the two player part with and if there’s no computer support looks like it’s just something I’m not gonna be able to play that sucks!!!
Glad you guys did a review of this, and that it's actually good too! Keen to pick it up eventually to add to the neverending backlog 😅 thanks, SwitchUp!
Highly impressed with the performance. Even though I am a massive Star Wars fan, I will be waiting to see if the second one also releases to the Switch and then look for a bundle. I played this back in the day on the XBox 360.
Also, do not forget the ultimate PSP version. That had way way more tons of crap than the other versions ever had. Was called Force mode and it even had historical campaign missions like the Anakin and Obi-Wan duel and they did it so perfectly, so well 🙏🕹️🎮💯💜
The majority of games I’ve played recently run up a vast amount of hours and trying to balance gaming around real life stuff are quite a challenge in itself. I guess it’s nice to play a short game like this for once without the need of collecting a million items or picking up a ton of side quests! (HFW). I last played this back in the 360 years and would be nice to revisit this story as I remember it being quite enjoyable. Great review chaps.
I grew up with an xbox 360 copy and I absolutely loved that game so when I checked the eshop a week ago to see what was new I was completely blown away with the big nostalgic logo. I instantly pre-ordered it without hesitation so you can imagine my surprise when I found out it was the wii version they were porting. As soon as I saw the trailer, I was immediately let down, but I wasn't gonna let that stop me from enjoying a new experience in a galaxy I'm VERY familiar with; and to be honest, I'm glad I didn't let my disappointment linger. I just got to the first raxus prime mission and I'm already loving the combat and how it keeps on surprising me when I stumble into a move I had no idea about. For example, in the fight with the jedi hunter sith on coruscant, I figured out that if you lock on and dash backwards, you'll do a stylish little evade. On the 360 version, I would've never thought to even lock on in the first place, seeing starkiller actually dance around the enemy so gracefully like that while the camera was right on starkiller the whole time blew my mind and actually got me invested in the fight. I can't wait to see what other surprises this game has in store for me Tldr: Neurodivergent bitch didn't like change before, is currently falling head over heels for gameplay now
I’ve played through all the other Star Wars games on the switch and despite being a very recent Star Wars fan I’ve enjoyed the games (currently about half way through Lego skywalker saga) and the movies/spin offs so I’ll definitely be picking this one up once I’ve finished Lego nice to see it running and 60fps too
Just letting you know that a lot of people say it’s to blurry. I know a fix to this.. go to accessibility & scroll down until you find motion blur & turn off
I got this for both Wii and Sony PSP, I always kinda hoped for a version that combined motion options with the PSP button/handheld options. I almost can't believe I'm going to buy this game a 3rd time 😂
I've been looking for reviews of this all day (I'm in Korea and not used to the time difference), and finally I see one and it's from the best reviewers. Perfect.
Great to see this is a solid release and they only thing missing that would have made it perfect would have been the inclusions of the PSP's extra modes Order 66, and Historic Missions but oh well that version still has a purpose for me and I'll wait until LRG's release to get this one
For anyone curious the switch version is a remaster of the Wii version of the game. There is also a pc/ps3/x360 variant, a ps2 variant, a psp variant, and a ds variant as well. All the variations play differently, have different graphics, different game modes and some even have different story moments that don't happen in others. Gotta collect em all!
You forgot the main selling point of this game: the Wii version (along with the PS2 and PSP versions) had more content than the 360/PS3 version. There are extra levels and costumes, and the levels they do share have completely different layouts (Felucia is one that comes to mind). It's practically a different game.
I've seen a playthrough of the Ultimate Sith Edition on PC many years ago, and oh boy, this game totally turns you into a full-on badass! Great that it's finally on Switch!
Thanks for the timely review! It sounds like the developers did a good job bringing the game over with a reasonably nice set of enhancements. I still wish this was based on the 360/PS3 version due to the character and environmental detail cutbacks of the Wii version, but hearing that this runs at a rock-solid 60 fps is awesome! A high consistent frame rate feels so good in action games like this. I quite enjoyed the game on its original release but don't own it anymore, so I'm going to wishlist this and maybe pick it up on sale somewhere down the line. I'm currently getting my Star Wars fix with the Skywalker Saga. :)
Was going to comment, but then saw you have put exactly how feel! I’m hoping we see more Star Wars ports for switch! But as you said….skywalker saga is fulfilling my Star Wars fix!
@@JonTheJedi honestly,same here. The 360 and PS3 had the visuals but the Wii and PS2 had those extra levels that felt right. I played a tiny bit of the 360 one first but the Wii was my first full experience.
@@MSR-24 I also always preferred the gameplay in the Wii/PS2 version. The PS2 was the first version I ever played and once I finally did get a PS3 and played it on there it just felt off to me.
Superb review, sounds like Aspyr are finally starting to get things right ... talking of which, I'm still waiting for KOTOR to appear in a Patched Up video, lol. I'm a fan of The Force Unleashed and still have the Wii and 360 versions (I always preferred the Wii version, so I'm happy it's the base for this port) and not in a huge rush to buy this again ... but some time down the line at a discounted price I may well be tempted, cos feeling The Force flow is just so good in this game.
Glad to see that y'all did a review of this game. Really looking forward to buying it, but I might wait for sale. It'll be a minute but I have so many games to catch up on as is. I'm glad that Force Unleashed finally came on the switch because, in my eyes, the only StarWars game that comes close is being similar is Fallen Order. Love the Force Unleashed series and hope the sequel will get a port as well. Thanks for doing the review 😁
Another great and welcome video from you guys, keep up the great work 😊 I’d love if you did some news uploads because there isn’t enough switch news channels where they even acknowledge uk versions of physical stuff and where and when to get them. I do however appreciate you doing the sale videos and including physical sales. Thanks again, happy gaming
I played the original so much back on the 360 and have revisited it over the years on the current Xbox’s and most recently the Series X, this version looks like it includes a different take enough for me to pick it up on the switch. Thanks for your review I can’t wait to buy it later today! 😊
This game for me was just fun. Kinda like GTA where I would love to just drive around and see how many stars I could get. In this it was hiw brutal I could be with enviornments and stormtroopers. That small gameplay loop was rewarding for me.
I was kind of hoping Aspyr would find a way to combine the Wii and PSP versions so that we could get an all in one package with the optional motion controls of the Wii and the additional content from the PSP version (Order 66 and Historical Missions). However, I am still impressed as the Wii version is my second favorite version (PSP being my first and the HD versions on 360 and PS3 being my third, least favorite being the PS2). Maybe Aspyr could add those features as DLC and/or an update?
This game blowed my mind when it first came to PSP and it was my only console. . It was my first game to play as kick ass jedi and I am happy to see it is not 60€ or 40€ like what nintendo would do but 20. Not bad for Switch standards.
Man I remember playing this game so much I think I replayed it over 100 times back when this used to be my only game on the psp and I played it on the Wii as well along with the sequel
I feel like aspyr are now really getting the hang of how to port these old games to switch. I really hope they revisit some of their older titles like republic commando and touch them up a bit performance wise.
i just want litterally any cod game. even cod mobile i dont care. the only good fps on the switch rn is borderlands and thats fine but it should be more than that.
@@Sharky_0456 the Doom games are all on there and play much better than the borderlands games. Also look into the metro games as those ports are really great as well
Also, do not forget the ultimate PSP version. That had way way more tons of crap than the other versions ever had. Was called Force mode and it even had historical campaign missions like the Anakin and Obi-Wan duel and they did it so perfectly, so well 🙏🕹️🎮💯💜 Thank you for this review, really clears it up for all the seven different versions there are out there now LOL (technically only three different versions) OH YEAH, LET'S ALSO NOT FORGET THE EXCLUSIVE NINTENDO DS TITLE LOL WUT (Actually end up playing that one very first LOL then the holy PSP version, then the rightful x360 version))💯
was considering getting the limited run games physical copy, but after this review and the nintendo life one, i think i'll wait for this to go on sale and get it digitally lol
It was released on the PlayStation Portable (PSP), not the Vita. It’s playable on the Vita, but the PSP version had some features the Wii version did not.
If you've only played the PS3/360/PC version, this version is pretty much a completely different game. The bosses, levels, enemies, and locations are all so much different to the next gen version. In many ways this is a much more epic version of the story even if the visuals and technology aren't quite as good.
I still would really like some sort of remake, really just take the best looking version of the game, add the motion controls, and bring up the resolution. I like the version on switch, but it jus leaves me wishing I was playing on 360, which is at my dad's house 4 hours away
It honestly would have been nice if they added in content from all the versions of Force Unleashed and released them on the platforms that way. So then it would truly be a remastered version and the definitive version. Still feel as tho it could have looked better than the other versions too. Still tho glad people enjoy it.
After growing up playing the Wii version and recently picking up the Ultimate Sith Edition on the PC, I can say this was a pleasant surprise. If later down the line the Switch version gets a DLC update which incorporates the "Historic Missions/Order 66" content from the PSP version and adapted the Dark Side Tatooine and Hoth DLC missions from the PS3/360/PC versions, then this would be the Complete Definitive Version for me.
I was at the celebration event when they had the concept art for this game and next to the new Lego Star Wars and KOTOR it’s my favorite Star Wars game probably
Been anticipating this one was gonna wait for your review, but couldn’t resist when I saw it in the eshop last night. Glad the performance is up to snuff, and it’s a good all around port.
I was sceptic as it is an old game but your review shows that it actually is quite fun and playable. Might pick it up when on sale (or earlier if I absolutely can‘t resist) Thanks guys!
I wish an updated version would come to Steam. I recall the PC port being broken. I loved the game on my 360 back in the day, and the PSP version was really cool too!
With points in Arc Dex and Strength, occult scaling and bleed are identical, but you get more bleed with blood affinity. Also, Beastman’s curved swords have higher AR with bleed affinity. And Gargoyle’s Twinblades have higher AR and hit 6 times per jump, so that trumps curved swords by a long shot.
I’ve never played a game with motion yet and I’ve had my switch for quite some time now lol. I forget about them. I use a dobe controller in hand held about 98% of the time. Looks like this would be so much fun. Thank you for the video! Need to look through my library now for more motion games
You know you’re a SwitchUp fan when you can guess what the score will be. I guessed a B- and sure enough, haha. Still waiting for that coveted “perfect score” with 20s across the board! 👍🏻
Good to see that I can use standard button controls and overall it's a solid game. I'm hoping for a retail release because I really want to avoid waiting 6 months or more from limited run games.
Excited about this one, but I might wait for a sale. Hope this means the second one shows up at some point Great job as always, you guys are my go-to review channel. Cheers!
Awesome review as always lads! I initially discovered the Force Unleashed back in the days with the second installment on PS3 (Force Unleashed 2), and boy does this seem a vastly superior game ! Two key take away : - I too want to flap my arms like a headless chicken ; - duel mode seems awesome - and we really need a proper Star Wars (2D or 3D) fighting game, and this is beyond me why we have never got one. Cheers
Episode 3 Revenge Of The Sith (PS3), was Force Unleash's prequel, Nintendo and LucasArts need to bring ROTS to the Switch too! that game you play as Anakin from Episode 3, it was highly underated..and had great visuals and sound...even movie cut scenes!ROTS, kickstarted the upgrade skill set system that is in FU1 and 2...
I'm kinda on the wall with this one ,it being a lot cheaper through backwards compatibility on series x and it being a lot cheaper there. Maybe a later pick up when it drops in price.
Not the same version friend. This is the PSP and Wii version. The controls are AMAZING, but you'll be missing some cool setpieces and force grip loses as much freedom as it gains; no y axis control.
I'm glad they brought this to the switch... but I Hate that starkiller isn't holding his saber like he normally does. I thought something felt off when I played the game
I played the original a ton, was so much fun just decimating waves of stormtroopers ans the story was really fun. Never played the wii port, but I think I'll still pass on motion controls. It'll be a fun Nostalgia trip on the switch.
Thank goodness I waited for your review I've been doing this thing where I buy it anyways and it's a mistake But this one looks great I loved it when I played it on xbox and I'm going to buy it in about 1 hour from now Thank you
Motion controls, a two player dueling mode and all of that is neat, sure, but the BIGGEST difference with this version is Starkiller doesn't reverse grip his lightsaber. That lowers the game's coolness rating down to a 2/10
I replayed this and the sequel again. And honestly, I have no interest in ever touching Jedi Fallen Order again. Man this is so much better. Probably the best Star Wars game.
Not interested since it isn't based on the PSP version which had Historical Battles. I know, it makes sense why Nintendo would remaster their WII version but my favorite memory of this game was that PSP mode, it let me play my fantasy of fighting the Bespin Duel from Vader's perspective. I'm good with my emulation of it on an 11" screen using a PS4 controller.
Hey Switchup Family! What are your thoughts on this one? Mark
I loved the Wii-version as a kid, but I really hoped for the 360/PS3-version to come to the Switch, because this way I see no chance for The Force Unleashed II to follow onto the Switch.
Another old port 👎
It looks nice but I am waiting for a remake of Rogue Squadron
Lego Star Wars or SWTHFU ?
I have been looking forward to this game but it sounds like I will not be able to play the thing I have been looking forward to the most… I don’t have anyone else to play the two player part with and if there’s no computer support looks like it’s just something I’m not gonna be able to play that sucks!!!
It's so awesome that you consider Mexican currency when you put the prices. Not a lot of people consider us so that's pretty special to me, thank you!
Yo you were in breaking bad (joking)
Switch up is one of the few global reviewers tgat has a good track record with me
Glad you guys did a review of this, and that it's actually good too! Keen to pick it up eventually to add to the neverending backlog 😅 thanks, SwitchUp!
Highly impressed with the performance. Even though I am a massive Star Wars fan, I will be waiting to see if the second one also releases to the Switch and then look for a bundle. I played this back in the day on the XBox 360.
This port is sort different than that version I think
its different. There are at least 3 different versions of this game... PS2 - Wii - Ps3/360/PC. This is the Wii Version.
Also, do not forget the ultimate PSP version. That had way way more tons of crap than the other versions ever had. Was called Force mode and it even had historical campaign missions like the Anakin and Obi-Wan duel and they did it so perfectly, so well 🙏🕹️🎮💯💜
Relieved this one is a decent port because nostalgia factor makes this an essential pick up for me!

Just letting you know that a lot of people say it’s to blurry. I know a fix to this.. go to accessibility & scroll down until you find motion blur & turn off
Including KOTOR?
If you haven't played Knights of the Old Republic yet I highly recommend it. It's really the best Star Wars game and a certified classic of an RPG.
Yeah I’ve played KOTOR it’s brilliant !
@@hcastro35 thank you for the comment, I'll keep that in mind when I download it.

Super glad this came out for the Switch. Your reviews are the best SwitchUp!
It was released on the PlayStation Portable (PSP), not the Vita. It’s playable on the Vita, but the PSP version had some features the Wii version did not.
Yep a slip of the tongue - I ALWAYS do that with Vita and PSP it's a curse. Third time now
I do the same! This one’s one of my all time fav games though so I think the specs are etched into my brain somewhere. 🤦♂️
YO BEEN WAITING FOR THIS, this channel is great, if a game is bad they will say or if a game is awesome,
Let’s go not only do u get to play the game on my switch but I also get to watch a review of it by you guys
If you've only played the PS3/360/PC version, this version is pretty much a completely different game. The bosses, levels, enemies, and locations are all so much different to the next gen version. In many ways this is a much more epic version of the story even if the visuals and technology aren't quite as good.
Thanks for the info. Haven't played it before & was deciding between PC/switch. Both it is! 😂
Ty for that info. I played it 3 times on X360 and 2 times on PS3. Wasn't going to pick this up but I might have to now.
I still would really like some sort of remake, really just take the best looking version of the game, add the motion controls, and bring up the resolution. I like the version on switch, but it jus leaves me wishing I was playing on 360, which is at my dad's house 4 hours away
I feel like the campaign lasted much longer than 6 hours but I did play it when I was 10. I definitely put dozens of hours into it then.
It honestly would have been nice if they added in content from all the versions of Force Unleashed and released them on the platforms that way. So then it would truly be a remastered version and the definitive version. Still feel as tho it could have looked better than the other versions too. Still tho glad people enjoy it.
I do remember when you first meet Juno in the way version the camera has you looking at her from bottom to top lol
I played this in the Xbox a while ago, but the motion controls look interesting enough to grab it on a sale
Great review! I was unsure about buying this title but your review sold it well & it looks like a great port. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Yes!! 60fps! This is a must-buy!!
Glad to see it honestly!
Amazing they did it. I know it’s an older game but it always feels like a mini miracle when a non first party game runs this well on switch.
Been thinking of getting this game your videos allwes help me make a choice thanks as allwes guys

Been anticipating this one was gonna wait for your review, but couldn’t resist when I saw it in the eshop last night. Glad the performance is up to snuff, and it’s a good all around port.
I was sceptic as it is an old game but your review shows that it actually is quite fun and playable. Might pick it up when on sale (or earlier if I absolutely can‘t resist) Thanks guys!
I wish an updated version would come to Steam. I recall the PC port being broken. I loved the game on my 360 back in the day, and the PSP version was really cool too!
With points in Arc Dex and Strength, occult scaling and bleed are identical, but you get more bleed with blood affinity.
Also, Beastman’s curved swords have higher AR with bleed affinity.
And Gargoyle’s Twinblades have higher AR and hit 6 times per jump, so that trumps curved swords by a long shot.
What game are you talking about!?
@@SwitchUpYt lmao sorry thought I was commenting on another video 😂
This is the review I was waiting for. Let's go!
I wasn’t looking to get this as it’s the wii version, but I’m now waiting for it to be in one of the sales vids and I’ll add it to my backlog
Played this on psp to completion absolute banger
The Historic Missions, Force Duel and Order 66 modes were SO awesome!😀
Love this game and Aspyr will absolutely put out a physical version eventually. Hopefully pairing it with Kotor 😁
I already pre ordered the physical version from them
I’ve never played a game with motion yet and I’ve had my switch for quite some time now lol. I forget about them. I use a dobe controller in hand held about 98% of the time. Looks like this would be so much fun. Thank you for the video! Need to look through my library now for more motion games
I still have Force Unleashed 1 & 2 on PC. I may give that another try, unless it comes on sale. The graphics are tight on PC.
The motion controls are amazing, but you'll be missing some setpieces and visuals. Since this is quintessentially the very best PSP version.
Loved this game back in the day
You know you’re a SwitchUp fan when you can guess what the score will be. I guessed a B- and sure enough, haha. Still waiting for that coveted “perfect score” with 20s across the board! 👍🏻
Good to see that I can use standard button controls and overall it's a solid game. I'm hoping for a retail release because I really want to avoid waiting 6 months or more from limited run games.
Honestly might be at retail in a bundle eventually, but you’ll probably wait even longer for that than waiting for LRG
This is one of my favourite Star Wars games, so getting this for sure. Worth it for to nostalgia value alone.
Great review. Been waiting for this one!
Excited about this one, but I might wait for a sale. Hope this means the second one shows up at some point
Great job as always, you guys are my go-to review channel. Cheers!
got this one firmly on my wish list i can feel that sale coming
Beat this on my PSP a few years back. Great game & story
amazing video as always, this is a game i’ve been looking forward to!
Awesome review as always lads!
I initially discovered the Force Unleashed back in the days with the second installment on PS3 (Force Unleashed 2), and boy does this seem a vastly superior game !
Two key take away :
- I too want to flap my arms like a headless chicken ;
- duel mode seems awesome - and we really need a proper Star Wars (2D or 3D) fighting game, and this is beyond me why we have never got one.
Cheers
Yes I remembered doing the 2nd game after doing the 1st one and oh god that second game is trash in comparison to the 1st one.
The Revenge of the Sith game is--in my opinion--the closest we ever got.
Episode 3 Revenge Of The Sith (PS3), was Force Unleash's prequel, Nintendo and LucasArts need to bring ROTS to the Switch too! that game you play as Anakin from Episode 3, it was highly underated..and had great visuals and sound...even movie cut scenes!ROTS, kickstarted the upgrade skill set system that is in FU1 and 2...
Can't wait to buy this😍
You'll enjoy it!
I'm kinda on the wall with this one ,it being a lot cheaper through backwards compatibility on series x and it being a lot cheaper there. Maybe a later pick up when it drops in price.
Man I bought it off limited run games! But I can't wait for such long shipping!!! I want to record videos already.
Loved this game back in the day on 360! May have to replay it on the go, so glad the performance is smooth on switch.
Not the same version friend. This is the PSP and Wii version. The controls are AMAZING, but you'll be missing some cool setpieces and force grip loses as much freedom as it gains; no y axis control.
@@thesurvivorssanctuary6561 I know just glad the switch version runs smoothly.
I played this for XBOX years ago. Great game.
So glad the motion controls work decently enough
Had I not beat this game up so bad on the PC, I might be interested in on my Switch.
I'm glad they brought this to the switch... but I Hate that starkiller isn't holding his saber like he normally does. I thought something felt off when I played the game
I played the original a ton, was so much fun just decimating waves of stormtroopers ans the story was really fun. Never played the wii port, but I think I'll still pass on motion controls. It'll be a fun Nostalgia trip on the switch.
Biggest woe is without order 66 mode, that psp mode was the best
Same to character historical fights obi Wan foddering awaking was great
Thank goodness I waited for your review I've been doing this thing where I buy it anyways and it's a mistake But this one looks great I loved it when I played it on xbox and I'm going to buy it in about 1 hour from now Thank you
Only 6 hours? wow that's really short. I was excited for this since I never played it, but I guess I'll have to wait for a discount.
Motion controls, a two player dueling mode and all of that is neat, sure, but the BIGGEST difference with this version is Starkiller doesn't reverse grip his lightsaber. That lowers the game's coolness rating down to a 2/10
I played it on 360 back in the day so I see no reason to return to it, but it is nice to have it on a more recent console.
The fact that it runs in 60 fps kinda helps justify them using the Wii version of the game. It looks very smooth and the visuals are ok if not great.
The reflections suprised the heck outta me first time playing it runs great and looks great on the switch
Big star wars fan, really trying to decide if this is one to add to the backlog as I have played through TFU before
Thanks for the review, as always your videos are very detailed and generally really well done
You realize it is a port of the Wii version right, not the original game.
@@richardfranklin6003 no, but I realised after a couple of hours of playing that I don't like it much.
So a switch lite can play the game because that is what worried me?
I replayed this and the sequel again. And honestly, I have no interest in ever touching Jedi Fallen Order again. Man this is so much better. Probably the best Star Wars game.
The Expanded Universe/Legends continuity will ALWAYS be better than the " Disney canon ".😊
Not interested since it isn't based on the PSP version which had Historical Battles. I know, it makes sense why Nintendo would remaster their WII version but my favorite memory of this game was that PSP mode, it let me play my fantasy of fighting the Bespin Duel from Vader's perspective. I'm good with my emulation of it on an 11" screen using a PS4 controller.
I owned the PSP version as well and loved it!😁
As of right now it's only $12.99USD on the Switch eshop. Only 3 days left tho!
Will definitely pick this up on sale cause I already have it on PC and am still busy playing Kotor
Thanks! Totally forgot the release date was today
