  • Gaming Pastime reviews Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition.
    Developed and published by LucasArts, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was released for PC in September, 2009. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a decent action game that never reaches its full potential and is marred by some poor design choices.

    I remember the hilarious comments back in the day that "PC could never handle this game, that's why we're only launching it on Xbox 360 and PS3". Then it also launched on PS2, PSP and Wii, lmao. Glad we got a PC port eventually, even if it was jank.

      PS2/PSP/Wii version is a completely different game. Better in some ways but far lower tech.

    This is one of my favorite star wars games (together with jedi outcast and dark forces). Love the story and throwing enemies around is very fun. It can be really hard, but the positives outweigh the negatives. The dlc is also very cool.

    It still holds up as the best star wars game to me. The flaws are minimal to me to where I'm able to past them and just come back to it time and time again. I just wish it was still canon.

    I disagree with you on never feeling like a super powerful Sith thing. Starkiller often pulls off things that would put most force users to shame and you even end up fighting and defeating Vader at the end.

    The original Force Unleashed is a great tech demo but a decent hack and slash. I think I actually prefer the Wii/PS2 version because of the extra levels and the fact you can swing your Wii remote/Joy-Con around like a lightsaber. The Force Unleashed II fixes some of the gameplay problems, but at the cost of having a story that's half-assed, rushed, and incomplete.

    I agree that the game is pretty mediocre overall, but it is one of the very few games featuring euphoria physics engine, and also maybe the best one for fucking around with said technology. It never grew old for me to pick up enemies and push them around, move them near other enemies so they try to grab to one another. I also didn't see you holding the force push in the footage, this certainly can feel very powerful. The ps2 version is also really fun, some say it's even better than the ps3/x360 version. Definitely not that impressive in graphics or physics, but the actual gameplay is smoother, and still really impressive with what could they bring out of ancient ps2 hardware.

      It's good! I've been playing it and they put a lot of effort into remastering the game. Plus, they let you choose between using motion controls or traditional controls for the lightsaber.

    I recently retried "The Force Unleashed 1", but i don´t know, this Game didn´t aged well. I remember when i played it on the Xbox 360 back then, i had a lot of fun.
    But nowadays i don´t know what exactly it is, maybe it´s the Gameplay or the Graphics, something really bores me to death when i played that Game again. I had much more fun with the PSP Version and it´s amazing additional content.

    This and it’s sequel are 2 of my guilty pleasures. Force progression is great as you continually become more powerfully.
    I feel the destroyer pull was a bit out of place , but I really liked the rest of the game.
    I give it 4/5 recommend buying it.

    It's not a bad game, but i was really disappointed with it. I expected something like Jedi Academy, but it wasn't as fun. I hate that after enemy parries your sword attack you are send back. I played Jedi Academy a lot of times, but after I've played TFU for the third time i didn't felt like there is any reason to play again. 😢

    This game is awful. Not only is it mind-bogglingly repetitive, but the lock on system is so broken that you will almost always grab something it never intended to. The bosses are bad, the physics are broken and the star destroyer minigame is so bad I shudder just remembering it.

      Yeah, I didn't had much fun playing this game either. I believe there's a lot of nostalgia going on for a lot of people and that's why they still like it. I mean, I liked it too UNTIL I played it again just recently. Just an awful experience throughout the whole game.
