Star Wars: The Force Unleashed: PlayStation 2

Model number: 33235 | SKU: 8947063

SynopsisIn a galaxy far, far away, the legend of an iconic villain grows — and you are at his right hand. Darth Vader's plan to exterminate all the Jedi has been set into action, and as the Sith Lord's Secret Apprentice, your actions will be crucial in ensuring his quest is a success. Unleash the powers of the Force as you scour the galaxy for remaining Jedi, and prepare to confront decisions that will affect not just your destiny, but that of the entire universe. In this chapter in the Star Wars saga, the path you choose may lead to an outcome that will rock your perception of Star Wars continuity down to its foundation. Experience the power of the Force like never before. In Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, you'll explore the era between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope as you toil as Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice, assisting him in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi. Wield four core Force powers against your enemies as you execute amazing, never-before-seen combos that let you not just Force grip enemies, but Force grip them in midair, zap them with lightning, then drop them to the ground and make them explode like bombs. Incredible new technology brings the story and action to life with stunning realism. With the debut of Digital Molecular Matter from Pixelux and NaturalMotion Ltd.'s euphoria behavioral simulation engine, you'll experience both environmental objects and interactive characters that move and behave just like they would in real life, from wood that breaks and splinters like actual wood to characters that think and act adaptively just like real human beings, producing different outcomes every time. The result is an incredible, immersive gaming experience in which your every act delivers real consequences. The Star Wars universe will never be the same.

What's great about it: cool story, a lot of fun features, upgradeable moves
What's not so great: limited lightsaber ability, awkward video finishes, too short and easy to beat

"I had been looking forward to this game for a year and a half. I am a huge Star Wars nut. The story sounded intriguing and the effects they were pushing on the website looked incredible. I realized the day I bought it that it might be a little watered down because it was not PS3 or Xbox360. I was right.
The overall effect of the PS2 version is a very cool game. I enjoyed playing it, despite the lack of lightsaber control. I especially didn't like the button prompts for defeating bosses. It was really distracting during what would be a cool video sequence of finishing moves to watch or just perform in real time.
I was greatly disappointed when I completed the game last night! I beat it in just over 2 weeks, and I only played about 5 nights, all in all about 10 hours! Sure you can go back and collect missed Jedi holocrons and lightsaber hilts, but it doesn't really warrant the effort.
Sadly, I am in no position to upgrade to a PS3 and would very much like to try that version of the game, with AI characters that react to how you attack them and such.
I would recommend this game as a decent PS2 game, but if you want the full effect of a mind blowing new Star Wars game, you'll have to go next gen."

What's great about it: Fun to play, great story line
What's not so great: none found

"I am not a huge gamer, but I do play games now and then. I bought this game mainly because I am a fan of Stars Wars games. This game is probably one of the best I have purchased. I am only a few levels into it, but I am already very happy with my purchase and recommend the game to other Star Wars fans. Of course the graphics are better on the PS3, but the graphics on a PS2 with a HDTV is still rather decent."

What's great about it: Fast, quick gameplay, good story, and a great asset to Star Wars saga.
What's not so great: The game doesn't look as good as the 360 or Ps3 versions, but it is very close.

"A great game. Sure to be a classic on the PS2. A groundbreaking story, combined with the best graphics I have ever seen on the playstation 2 make this game better than anything out right now."
