I'm just waiting for OG Battlefront 2 to be put on Switch so I can put another 500 hours into it. (Preferably with split screen)
That along with the first Battlefront. Those games were my childhood.
100% yes to this. I want that version cleaned up on the Switch as well as The Dreamcast version of Jedi Power Battles!
it better have galactic conquest mode included. that mode was like Crack to me.lol
Yeah!!!!!
Yes!!!
I mean, I know I’m going to end up grabbing it. The amount of nostalgia for this version of the game from playing the PSP version on school nights and playing the story again and again makes me want to relive this version specifically again over the Xbox 360 or PS3 version.
PSP!!!!! 👍🏽
The PSP one had the most content of all of them from my understanding lol. That thing was so much better then it needed to be and I loved it
This is the same as the psp version too, definitely recommend
Loved the PSP version. Only thing that irked me was how he holds his saber lol
Not putting in the content from the PSP version was a mistake. It would’ve improved the single player offering ten fold.
Yeah those classic movie moments were cool
Now I need to look that up.
I bought it thinking I was going to be a be able to play those mini stories, too bad but nevertheless the nostalgia from just the psp game is enough haha
What's in the psp version?
@@sourgummyworms45 th-cam.com/video/u2QfjnvetCM/w-d-xo.html missions from the movies that are like 20 minutes each, it was pretty cool
While not the 360 version, it's decent: Try the motion controls Alex it's designed for them in this version. ✌️
To be honest, I like your review better.
@@clinttiro4368the Ps2/Wii versions were always better than it’s HD counterparts imo
@@starwarsunexplained4268 I replayed the PSP version over a hundred times. Playing the PS3 or Xbox 360 version, it just wasn't the same. Honestly, this review hurts coming from Alex who didn't even play the previous versions and trying to expect modern standards.
Your review seems to remember this is a $20 Remaster and not a $60 AAA new game.
On wii the motion controls never worked
It's a matter of taste, but most of the bad things you mentioned I actually like, the simplicity that this game brings and the story so well inducted into the two main movie trilogies makes me think that this is one of the best star wars games of its time. I usually like a more arcade type of game so this game matches perfectly with me. I don't know the guy who wrote this review, i respect his point of view but strongly disagree with him
I am with you.
This was the best fkn star wars game. And keep in mind. It was the first time we got a proper
Lightsaber control and force powers. 2008. cmon. U had to live thru it at that time to
Fully appreciate the genius behind this game.
@@rndmthoughts4256First time even including Jedi Academy/Outcast? What are your qualifications that those two don't fulfill?
Bro, I’m pretty sure this review is for people that never played this game so just because y’all have nostalgia for this game does not give it a pass for none of the stuff that is wrong with this game
I just loved the amount of skins/costumes the ps2 version had. They weren’t all great but they were pretty fun to use at times.
I played the PSP version and the PS3 versions. I definitely preferred the better graphics but I always wondered what the Wii was able to add to the experience. I’m glad to see the HD upscale and yeah it’s no where near the standard of nowadays, we also need to remember this is a VERY old game. 2008 was a long time ago. The gameplay still looks fun, and it seems like you can finish it in just a week. Great callback to a simpler era where levels were linear and the game didn’t make you feel like it was a chore to finish the campaign.
games from that generation had no problem aging properly. Games from the PS2 and Wii still hold up and some of those are older than this game. Graphics may have been primative but games like Jak, Super Mario Galaxy, Ratchet and Clank 3, metal gear solid 3, and the gran turismo games are just a couple examples of games that easily stood the test of time.
@@bigcheffi I absolutely agree. I didn’t mean to sound like they were bad games. It’s just the graphics are from a different era. I actually bought this version for the switch and played it in a week like I said, even less. But I had a lot of fun and the graphics didn’t bother me at all.
2008 was a long time ago. :D No it wasn't. It's not like 1960 or so. That was a long time ago. I think some games from the 2008-2013 era aged really good. The force unleashed ps3/xbox 360 version looks to this day incredible good. Considering that it was released in 2008. The character model of Starkiller looks so good. You need to play it on PC with a reshade graphic mode, enabling ray tracing and HDR! It will transform the game!
Just finished my playthrough on the Switch, and though I had a good time with it, I would've much preferred the PS3 / 360 version with their DLC be ported instead. The Switch can more than handle the increased graphics and textures, but it would've been no motion controls and Nintendo can't have that...
It’s better that way cuz nostalgia
Of course it could handle the ps3 one, it's 2008 game
Had a ton of fun playing the Wii version “back in the day.” Some of the best use of motion controls, and plenty of Star Wars atmosphere for the fanboys.
Go watch the SwitchUp or Switchcorner reviews of this if you get a chance - this is a weak effort on NL part
Agreed!
I hope this does well so we can get force unleashed 2 on the switch
Honestly that should have been packaged with the original in this rerelease...
@@mesiagamer5217 I agree that would have made more sense and also to have like all the DLC trials and story that I think came with the first one it could have been with the second one but I'm not sure
force unleashed 2 is dogshit i think
@@BigDaddy0Kev it's the definition of a 5/10 game. Fine in the moment but you won't ever think about it again once you stop playing
@LockPickinPaws i was dissapointed when i paid full price years ago
The PS3/360 versions had their magic with those animation and physics techniques… I would have loved seeing that ported over.
"Basically the Shadow the Hedgehog of Star Wars." This is far more accurate than I care to admit.
Shadow is my favorite sonic game
@Star Wolf 128 Yes. It's an homage.
The combat system and moves are a lot of fun and the cheats make it even better. I'm glad I bought it, just the kind of Star Wars game I wanted on my switch
Just playing as Darth Vader at the start is enough of an impression
What a negative and harsh review. I think this game is totally fine and one of the best Star Wars games. I wish you were harsh this way with the undercooked Pokemon titles from recent years.
I really wish they would have ported the PS3/360/PC version of the game instead
@Vinny Santorini ;] they probably cut them from those versions because of time restraints, it would have been nice if they brought them back through DLC like they did Coruscant
I mean I'm playing it rn, and it's about as fun as I remember it. 60 fps is definitely nice
You’re judging and old game by new modern standards and that just isnt fair. For its time the game was revolutionary and full of epic battles and scenes. Especially this version the combat and force power combinations were well done. I do think they should have just remastered the game and combined the editions, but they didnt and we cant judge it by that. The wii/ps2 versions are almost impossible to get now and in my opinion they were the best version of the game. Thank you for doing a review as it was very informative and im glad to know what version it is, i just do think its harsher than deserved.
He has his point. switch is way capable for 360 or ps3 version. this is a missoportunity. I.have played all of the version and, beside PSP duel and historical mode, ps3/pc version where way more interesting in combat, and graphics. so, no, he is beeing fair on the review.
I dunno, I think it has to be judged by modern standards as this is a *new* release; there is very little new development here compared to the Wii version so I think Alex's judgement is fair. There could have been so much more done. People will still fangirl over it, however, as its a Star Wars property lol
@@luisfelipegonzalez4423 the Switch is capable for it, but they ported the much better version of the game, the version that was much better received, due to it being the more complete and better playing game, the HD version had good graphics and ragdoll physics, and that's about it.
the HD version of the game was a rush job, with a problematic development cycle, hence why the game is so clunky and unfinished.
also it just makes sense that they'll port the Nintendo version to a modern Nintendo console, with the features and content that made this version unique and different.
this is a simple upscaled port like Aspyre did with the other old Star Wars games, not a remake nor remaster.
it would be impossible for them to have combined editions, because the HD version and this one ran on two very different game engines.
don't be surprised if we see a Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2 port soon, maybe even Star Wars Bounty Hunter.
@@blackadder1996 it's a straight port, with minor upscaling and fps boost, like most people knew and expected, it was never promised to be anything else other than what was delivered, hence the price and why most people aren't crying about it, it's because we knew what was coming, it's not a remaster or remake, thus it can't be held up to modern standards, saying "New release" implies it's a new game, it's simple an upscaled release of game that's more than a decade old, thus reflecting gameplay that was an industry standard at the time.
The wii version was great back in the day but if not even the bare minimum of changes were made for a modern audience, this may be a hard game to sell to a demographic that has never played it before. Force Awakened is the definite Jedi Experience while Force Unleashed II (even though it simplified the series) is the closest we have had to a Sith Experience.
Jedi fallen order is definitely more of a definitive edition of a jedi game than this. Ive played both and loved both but still
@@philipsparks6089Fallen Order makes lightsabers feel like sticks it sucks ass
@@philipsparks6089haven’t played fallen order yet but I’ve been feeling like picking up a new souls like so either that or Lies of P
it’s not a remaster, it’s a rerelease. the features you’re talking about are for remasters
I hope Star Wars the force unleashed ii comes to switch as well
I like Nintendo Life but they really missed with this review. This game is great
Totally agree with you
How about understanding that this is someones personal opinion and that it might be different than yours?
@@rogerayala6878 doesn't mean people have to agree with it. People like you really think opinions are some impenetrable wall 😂😂😂
@@557deadpool they are! Literally they are... If you think the review is bad, then thats ur opinion, and absolutely nobody can tell you youre wrong... Cause ur not, its an impenetrable wall! Cause even though I might think the review is good, I cant say ur wrong for thinking otherwise! See?
@@rogerayala6878 not really, reviews can be wrong or miss the point, just like this one
also opinions can be objectively wrong
Honestly I wanted the HD version from PS3 on switch.
This game was absolutely amazing when it came out. One of the best Star Wars games of all time if not the best.
Uh, did you watch the video?
HIGHLY disagree
It's definitely a nice game, but I think that if you think it is potentially the best star wars game, you should do some research on some more star wars games and try some. I think you'll find some games you love just as much or even more.
(I'm not trying to dismiss your thoughts on this btw, just I'm a big star wars fan and I think we are lucky that the bar has been set so high fot star wars games at this stage, so am hoping you'll find more fun/interesting games to enjoy)
@@Malus1531Make your own decisions. Nintendo Life is usually overly critical of remasters like this; it feels that they are expecting a whole new game and are disappointed when they realize it’s just a polish-job.
@@slumdutchmillionare They're judging it on whether it's fun today, which is fair. Why re-release a game if it's not worth playing? Only targeting the nostalgia crowd isn't very good business, it should be fun for people newly discovering the game too. According to this review, it isn't.
I'm usually the person that picks up games that most people consider bad and actually love playing them myself. I remember many people praising this game back in the day, would keep talking about how brutal Starkiller can be and how much of a powerhouse it feels to play the game, but I never was able to play it myself at the time.
Recently played the Windows/360/PS3 version, and man... I hated the combat in this game. You'd think a game that offers different movesets and a combolist would at least have half that it offered be viable against any enemy, but due to the enemy responsiveness(more accurately, lack thereof) I found myself spamming force powers which really brought down the experience. Force powers are cool and all, but what's the point of giving a lightsaber to the player if it isn't even effective against most enemies.
I think it would definitely be fun as a person who played it back then and is willing to just give in to nostalgia to enjoy the game. But as someone who isn't that, I think I'll go back to enjoying DMC3 instead
Wish they would’ve used the ps3 or 360 version and made it a full remaster from those and bundled both games with all the dlc. Missed opportunity
Physical Copies are available for preorder in the U.S. at Limited Run Games. I dont know if they ship internationally. Just a heads up for those that want a physical copy.
Is it region locked?
@@pauljakeman The switch its not, you shouldn't have any problem, I'm from Chile and already pre-order it
@@pauljakeman switch games and the switch console itself is region free! Feel free to purchase from wherever you want. Be wary of shipping prices tho lol cheers
@@gavic2137 thanks! I didn’t actually know!
@@sergiomanzanares6817 thanks buddy! I didn’t know that!
I honestly would have preferred the PS3/X360 version instead of this one.
Let's get it straight
Legends: Is Star Wars
Disney: Is Fan Fiction.
This game and the first clone wars show is canon.
Luke in Legends had a better life
As long as SWTOR isn't made canon but SWKOTOR is I'm good. That horrible excuse of an mmo ruined one of the most badass characters in the SW universe.
@@JunkyVirus not really, SWTOR has a fine story
The quick time events in this game are done pretty well, imo
One of the few examples of quick time events I actually like.
That's bullshit. There's no such things as well done quick time events. Quick Time Events are the bane of gaming.
@@shinbakihanma2749 I prefer a quick time event over a cutscene in the middle of a boss battle, bringing the pacing to a stop. The new Lego Star Wars game uses them really well.
@@shinbakihanma2749 you are welcome to your opinion.
While i agree they can be heavily overdone, I've played a few where they work well. One other is Naruto ultimate ninja storm 2. As long as the inputs aren't bullshit and the animations are flashy, I don't mind them.
Yeah it’s a common criticism on games these days because it was over done in this era but thats because people loved it. Even god of war used quick time events to finish of enemies and if you failed you had to do more damage to retriever the event. So that criticism is a bit odd I think.
I remember playing this during the Wii days. My favorite thing to do was to lift up enemies with the force then chuck my lightsaber at them.
Unpopular opinion, I prefer the PS3/360/PC version over the Wii/ps2 version, and I played the PS2 version first back when I only had a PS2 as a kid when it came out. Getting to play the PS3 version now was just so much more fun with the destruction physic and the enemies acting more realistic and grabbing anything they can is still impressive to this date.
Why on earth did port the Wii version, unbelievable decision
The wii/ps2/psp versions are way better than the Xbox/ps3 version imo
Wii = Nintendo. Switch = Nintendo. I am afraid about this explanation. 🙁
Btw, the name Starkiller is an homage to Luke's name in the original screenplay
I started playing this on pc a few weeks ago. The controls are fundamentally busted thanks to the terrible camera and horrible lock on system. Hopefully it's cleaned up on Switch!
Spoiler alert! It’s not!
Pc/ps3/360 version is a completely different game
The camera was even worse in the PS2/Wii version, IIRC.
I actually am so happy they ported the version I remember playing on the Wii. I know that the 360/ps3 version is usually seen as the definitive version, but this is the one I Ioved playing growing up. Will definitely be getting this when I get a chance.
Thats how I feel, i had the ps2 with this and my best nemory was halloween night after trick or treating i came back and beat this game on the ps2, i always like this version more, i didnt get the ps3 until the ps4 was announced and i always liked the ps2 versikn more
I remember ordering this game from a scholastic catalog in elementary school and playing the hell out of it on the wii. I saw it was on sale on the switch and I’m excited to play it again for the first time in while.
Is it just me that would be intrigued by a star wars rogue lite. Ripping through enemies like they are butter with a light sabre, staff or blaster in a similar way to hades or dead cells would be immensely satisfying and much more like the Jedi or sith in the movies.
Play as a different jedi each time you die while trying to survive order 66.
@@gunguntrio1247 this needs to happen. Alternative is to go down the warriors route to mass kill thousands of storm troopers and droids. I just want to be a light sabre wielding bad ass committing mass genocide to anyone in the way like they do on the movies. That shouldn't be that hard to pull off.
No, rougelikes are all garbage
Why is it even the Wii port…the 360/Ps3 versions are right there, you can even get them on Steam for dirt cheap
cus its superior, and works with the joycons like nunchuck and wiimote did.
I remember being really into the Xbox 360 version of this game. Might get this just to see how the Wii version was (I remember my cousin loving it).
I replayed this game thousands of times as a kid (Wii version)
I still think going for the Wii version instead of the PS3/X360 for this port is kinda disappointing tho.
The X360 version of this game is by far the superior version.
As someone who's never played the 360 version but had the Wii version and beat the campaign at least 5 times (3 good endings and 2 bad) the wii version is honestly really fun and I like it a LOT. Can get a bit buggy every now and then but I never encountered anything game-breaking, mostly some janky enemy visuals and stuff. But again, never played any other version so idk how it compares to the others. The Force Unleashed 2 on Wii was rather disappointing compared to the first game though, lacked nearly all the content the first game had, but again idk if that's just with the Wii version of 2 or with 2 in general.
@@legoboy7107 you're not missing much in the 360\PC version, its about as jank as the Wii one, but Wii one makes up for it with the excellent control setup. BEst thing about PC one is that it has the DLC where you replace Vader as the Emperors Apprentice and hunt down Luke and company.
It saddens me this version of Force Unleashed isn’t good. I loved the original on the 360.
Don’t listen to his review. This is a great port
Don't listen to this I have played all 3 main consoles PS3, PSP and Wii. PS3 only wins the graphical department. Play it
@@nobleskywalker4639 FACTS! Imo the wii/ps2 version is the best version to play
Don’t listen to these replies; the original HD version is waaaay better than this clunky trash
Depends…
If they put a Mario costume in the game… perhaps
Ew no
I have the Nintendo switch version of this and I have the original on Xbox 360. The first thing you’ll notice if you compare the two games is that the switch version opening takes place at night. Whereas the Xbox 360 version takes place in the day. And even the opening Darth Vader sequence is somewhat different between the two games. I’m sure I will come across a lot more differences as I play. But I do like the night time opening sequence the best so far. There’s a few issues with the light saber that is different from the 360 version. For example when you pull out your light saber as Vader it stays on on the 360. However on the switch you pulled out do your attack or whatever and it shut back off. I realize that might be a nitpick to some people. But I find it somewhat annoying actually. I want the saber to stay open and on and ready for action. Granted when you hit the button it automatically comes out and is ready for battle. However it’s just that microsecond that’s annoying. Still both games are quite fun. And yes as you say in this video they are showing some age. But if you look at how old they are it’s no wonder. It’s not like a Mario game that can be 500 years old and still look good lol I personally would recommend this game for the switch. I never played it on the wii. My soul experience with the game is on the Xbox 360. I did I never got to finish it on there but I still enjoyed what I was able to complete. So having this on the switch I’m hoping will be just as satisfying.
I believe my biggest disagreement with your assessment is on the graphics. Granted they do look older. They have in Asia right now. But they’re not going to stand up to what we expect today. They’re just not. At the time they came out they looked awesome. I feel like you were too harsh on the game overall. I still think it was a fun game. Throwing Thai fighters around it’s pretty damn awesome. I’m just saying. I’m just saying that I would recommend this game if someone would like to go back and play an old-school Star Wars game. It’s not going to Hold up against something like Star Wars Jedi fallen order but it’s still worth apply through.
Honestly...they should've remastered the PS3/X360 version of the game...
I agree with some things said here
I played 360 version first and both PS2 + 360 versions have benefits and cons
I think the issue I have with this version (PS2) is the levels seem less engaging I loved the 360 version feeling like a galaxy wide adventure
Now gameplay which is core PS2 version has way more abilities but I feel to many (why is there 4 upgrade paths for 2 abilities with the same thing but merely a extra press of Y.. they could of been combined )
But the bossed feel more like fights over waiting for the force shields to go
360 version Better overall force power feeling objects feel more accurate and reliable to use and less abilities = more use of your skills overall
Also the fact force grip is it's own button is a huge plus
I wish the switch bundled both versions together to offer a complete experience in one platform
4:46 I don’t think many game reviewers today understand the point of QuickTime events. In this era of gaming, outside of like shadow of colossus (which is kinda in different boss rush genre) you couldn’t really make a playable character do a fancy move where he flip jumps on a bosses back and does all this fancy sword work without some sort of cinematic QuickTime event. Rather than have a character incessantly slash at boss they had to throw in these QuickTime event
So there was a purpose back then
what makes this game the best version for me (despite its potato graphics) is the motion controls... executing force powers and handling the light saver just feel awesome and was one of the best use of motion controls in the Wii... and not using them (againgz in my humble opinion), detracts from the game.
I feel they could have just added some HD textures and reworked the lighting a bit and it'd be a bit more awesome... not that it isn't a great game as it is.
I played this game as a kid but in this video this game looks hella different
I reaalllllyyyyy wish this was the 360 version. Feels like a huge missed opportunity
starkiller was skywalkers original name before they filmed a new hope, that's why they names the character that
I kinda wish they would have ported the 360/PS3 versions with the dlcs.
I will say I did like the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions best
I cant play it yet it says its not. Out yet
Fun Fact:
The LEGO Rogue Shadow released in January, 8 months before the Games, features a design that doesn't appear ingame, including Imperial Insignias.
I can't find Released Concept Art that looks like it either.
The Xbox 360 / PS3 version is completely different! Much better game (not even an opinion)! If you played a demo it was that version. The Wii didn’t have demos.
I've played PS2/Wii/PC version but I like PS2/Wii more.
I really don’t know what people are expecting here. It’s a cleaned up Wii game that’s only $19.99. Similar to Bounty Hunter and every other re-release. If you played the original on Wii/PS2/PSP you know what your getting. If you played it on PS3/360 you’ll get to see what the other version of the game was like.
What is so different between the versions?
@@Vito-cx2et the PS3 and Xbox 360 version were designed by a completely different studio. The other versions were all designed by the same studio but had small differences. The Wii had motion controls and a Duel mode. The PSP had some extra content.
@Vinny Santorini ;] Thank you so much for taking the time. Appreciate it.
I still play this port on my PSP
Old Star Wars battlefront has to be next right?
It's a shame they went with the Wii version, it could have been fantastic as a port for the PS3/360 version, far superior and greater variety of challenges and enemies.
But, Wii version is Nintendos so makes sense that's all they could use... Hurts though as a long term fan of the series this is what we got 😢
and i PERSONALLY disagree. i dislike the PS3/xbox60 version with a passion
i far prefer the WII/PS2 for a variety of reasson
I love my Switch. But these poorly aged ports do not stand in for the lack of modern games
It’s weird to see these old 360/PS3 games finally come to Nintendo
Wow!! This review is really making me second guess buying this. It looks cool and back in the day I remember playing the demo as Darth Vader which I remember being bad ass and just never bought it back then. Now I’m like, should I get it?🤔
Grow up and stop playing videogames. :)
The 360 version is so much better lol
@@schadenfreude6274 lol wtf man
@@schadenfreude6274 grow up and stop putting people down, don’t you got anything better to do? You came to this comment section just to say that? Talk about no life.
Honestly, it was already a pretty mediocre game back when it came out, and, as such, it also hasn't aged particularly well. No matter which version.
1st time i disagree with your review
I played this game on my Nintendo DS, and I loved it :’)
I can’t get over how his combat style is different on this version…not in a good way.
Man Star wars games are making a huge comeback in 2022
Perhaps in the top 5 Star Wars games ever. One of the best stories. Cheats made the game fun as heck and not exactly broken either.
I would love to see a force unleashed 3 at some point, I also never played the WII version so maybe this is something I'll try later down the line
2:56 in fairness this game was never really explicitly said as canon even at time of release
One of the few reviews from Nintendo Life that i disagree with. Despite the repetitiveness and somewhat dated mechanics, this is still one of the most fun romp just blasting everything around within a Star Wars cube.
Alright, so, I originally played the PS3 version of this game-I didn't get far into it, but I absolutely enjoyed it. So, when I found out the game was coming to the Switch, I legit squee'd. But, guess whose dumb ass didn't know there were multiple versions of The Force Unleashed, with varying qualities? Seriously, out of every version they could've gone with, they used the Wii version?! When I started the game, I seriously asked myself, "Did I get the wrong game???" The answer to that was "Yes and no." The graphics are awful, and I honestly don't remember the opening level with Darth Vader being so slow and stiff to play. However, when I started playing as Starkiller, things did pick up significantly and felt much better to play, even if it was a bit more slippery. I haven't gotten any further than I did when I was playing the PS3 version, but I guess the gameplay could keep me interested-I do love a good hack and slash. It's gonna be an uphill battle getting over the graphics, though. What demon made these?! The one from Tenacious D, methinks.
Bought the limited run physical version to justify it; preferred FU2; hopefully that comes to switch
I'll probably get this. It looks different from the 360 version, but I'm sure it'll still be fun.
@Vinny Santorini ;] gotcha!
Never played the wii version, though I think I have it in my closet somewhere lol I am glad however that they decided to add extra sheen to the graphics for the switch version which is only right. I kind of wish they ported the 360 version because it looked much better but the switch version looks good for it being a wii game
@Vinny Santorini ;] so I've heard, thanks for elaborating. I have it on all systems but don't have the time and don't like the game that much to play it on all platforms to see the difference.
Really hoping for the original Battlefront games and KOTOR 2 next!
Yeah it's wonderful to be getting ports of classic titles like this! Switch ports make replaying or discovering old games so much easier than any other way
KOTOR 1 is getting a port. Let's hope for KOTOR 2
I found a perfect Lightsaber Joy Con Attachment for this because who doesn’t want to swing a Lightsaber around when playing.
It's actually bizarre that the Switch port is of the Krome version rather than the LucasArts version. I'm actually pretty shocked upon watching footage of it online!
I saw it was coming to switch and I pre-ordered it. Loved it on the wii.
If I want to play this again I'll just play the xbox version of the game; and yes, after playing Jedi Fallen Order not sure I'd enjoy this game as much, since that one was sooo well done; I did have a great time with this one back in the day - prefer it over FU 2 by and far as that one was terrible....but I will stick with what I have atm.
I hope there's a Force Unleashed 3 one day even though it is very unlikely. I just loved the first 2, no matter how bad everyone says they are lol
Under disney? no thanks.
Wait this is the wii version? Why not just port the 360 version? Do people consider the wii version better?
The motion controls: Hell yes it's so much better!
Everything else: Fuck no it sucks!
Other than the graphics and cutscenes actually yes. The story flows much better in this one
Why bring back the lesser version. I want whatever was the one I played on 360.
This game is a lot of fun on the wii. The motion controls are extremely satisfying. I remember twisting my wrist to choke people, whipping my arms to throw the sabre, doing force lighting by putting my hands out like Palpatine does in the movies.
If it’s a port from the Wii version did they use the motion controls on the Switch, or is it more of the controller type experience you’d get on the other consoles?
I think it's both, you can chose either
We needed a remaster or remake, not a rerelease..
7:45 "Sound as though they've been pulled right from the films"
Several of them have, if it's the same Sound Track on Wii/Switch as on PS3/XBox.
Hope the oh battlefront 2 comes to the switch
I played this game so much on PS3 when it released and it’s a special place in my heart. However, the fact this port is based on the Wii really disappoints me. I think I’ll either wait for it to go on sale or skip it. Would have been SUCH an easy sell if it was the PS3/360 version.
I just purchased it thinking it was going to be better…… I was wrong. The rendering is sub par to say the least and the storylines have been altered. I was gravely disappointed in this release. I suggest sticking to the law or Xbox 360 version. I have it on ps3 the ultimate smith edition and I didn’t want to dust off the ps3 to play it again but here I am now playing it on it. I uninstalled it on the switch to save space. Definitely not worth the buy. Compare the two if you have it on legacy console to compare to the switch release and you’ll see exactly what I’m taking about. One last thing….. GIVE US THE FORCE UNLEASHED MOVIE NOW!!!!! But not by Disney 🙂🙃😉
Honestly I knew it was going to be bad when they were revealed it was going to be the wil version
I feel this version of the Force Unleashed will eventually get ported to other consoles later down the line. I mean sure the Xbox 360 version is backwards compatible but if you never experienced the Wii version or PS2 or PSP for that matter then perhaps this may be an opportunity to give those players a chance to try out the version that they missed out on.
I bought this because I loved playing the Windows game 15 years ago and was really surprised how bad it was. Especially the camera is really annoying, the boss fights suck and there are a lot of things i remember differently or don't remember at all from the old game.
Soon as I saw it was the wii port I decided I’m not buying
This game has costumes/skins to play as Lando or Han with a lightsaber in the story mode.
Pure silly greatness
Hope the force unleashed 2 comes to the switch
It’s an older game but if you don’t care much about graphics and look more at gameplay and fun - which are what games are about! This is still awesome on switch on sale for 8.99 on the e shop
Strange review. I think the fact that its not the 360/ps3 versions is why you're going really hard on it. IMO the wii/ps2/psp versions of the force unleashed have always been better than the 360/ps3 versions while not only offering more content in the form of the jedi temples missions, but the gameplay feeling much more free in contrast to the almost magnetic to the floor feeling of the other versions.
They could at least have used the PS3 version, this looks lile a PSP game from 2007.
This is kind of disappointing I was hoping we would get the DLC with this cuz didn't this come with a DLC expansion story?
That was for the other version of the game.
@@craftergamer9058 well that stinks I wish we got an ultimate edition I mean I'm grateful to still have this game re-released but I did not know it was going to not have the DLC with it
@@positiveproductions6699 there was never DLC for the ps2/wii version which the switch release is a port of
@@Coopdaloop22 okay thanks for the info I understand now
@@positiveproductions6699 the other version (HD version) you're thinking of, was an unfinished game, this version has all that DLC built into the game already, plus more missions and modes.
it's an overall more complete game
that soundtrack is amazing tho. 9:37 great score and editing
Just glad there's another star wars game on switch. Still hoping for the original battlefronts or the ROTS game though....
