Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (PlayStation 2, 2008)

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed! A Great title! All in all its a great game and even snks up to a good part of the starwars story line! Has a great story line with great acting and endepth character concepts but for the playstation 2 i feel like its lacking after playing it for the xbox 360 myself! With less graphics than the 360 the character detailing is at fault when it comes to the cut scenes not having as big of an impact on players as it did on me for the 360! Its still a good game an fun! with advanced player controls and force powers big explosions and killer moves and saber combat! your definately not making a bad choice if your purchasing this game regardeless the system! But after all the fun it still seems to short, the game starts out too easy and ends up being really hard twards the end and is easily completed within a day or two! I feel like the experience should have lasted longer! It might be a better game to rent than to buy if your looking for a drawn out adventure! Still Highly Recommended!

After playing several Star Wars games for the Playstation 2 between 2002 and 2008, my interest for the series dwindled.

It all started with the remarkably dull Star Wars Starfighter (2001) which kept me playing until the tutorial was over, at which point I set aside the game in my closet and never returned to it. Starfighter was followed by the slightly more successful Star Wars Jedi Starfighter in 2002 but was, more or less, cast aside like the first. Lucas Arts continued to produce fighter or pod racing games, such as Star Wars: Super Bombad Racing and Star Wars: Racer Revenge, which were interesting to some degree but nothing to keep in a collection that's for sure. Star Wars: The Clone Wars was half-way decent and from there, the series saw some serious improvement. Star Wars: Battlefront I and II, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter and Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith were all excellent additions to the series and each explored a different game play route that failed to leave me bored. The two Lego Star Wars that came out afterwards equated to complete failure; if you've ever played a Lego version of cartoon or movie on the Playstation 2 then you have an idea of what I mean. Oddly enough, Star Wars: KOTOR I and II were massive hits compared to previous games released to the Playstation 2. The only downside is that they were made for the XBOX and not the Playstation 2.

Finally, Lucas Arts developed a game that exceeded my expectations and matched the quality of the film series in every aspect. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was released in September 2008 and was a huge hit. It sold over 5.7 million copies worldwide by February of 2009 and single-handedly succeeded where all other games in the series failed.

The game takes place between the Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: A New Hope. Darth Vader takes on a new apprentice, Starkiller, and sends him on various missions with a single purpose: to kill the Jedi. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is unique in that it provides new parts to the story as it moves through the plot. It wasn't just a game, it was a mini-installment that allowed Star Wars fans to get their next fix of their favorite sci-fi.

Many individuals complain about the plot. I find it to be interesting enough to play the entire game through without a break. As mentioned before, you are in command of Starkiller, Darth Vader's apprentice. Each mission that you carry out has the sole purpose of eliminating a Jedi. Along the way, Starkiller finds romantic interest in his pilot and discovers a new beginning when he teams up with the Jedi.

The controls, moves, combos, etc remind me a lot of any well-developed fighting game. They are complicated at first and can be frustrating to learn but, in learning them and using them, you'll find that the missions aren't as hard or as long as if you hadn't took the time to learn them.

Ultimately, the game was short. The levels themselves were overly long and seemed to be repetitive in nature (for example, find the Jedi, kill the random obstacles along the way and then, kill the Jedi). However, the plot, the unique approach to the lightsaber and the force, and the vivid fighting scenes made up for the lack of differentiation in levels.

By far, this is the best game in the series. Easily beatable if you have the time and definitely worth whatever the going rate is.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a complete success and definitely earns a spot in your collection.

This Jedi game is not like the others. The Jedi and Sith have darker and much, much more powerful powers. More characters the you have ever seen one the other games to earn and play. Highly recommended. A+++

excellent storyline, but it was too short. you get to play other characters when you finish the game, including people from every star wars movie.

This game is totally amazing. You get to use powers only associated with the dark side, and then choose to remain a Sith or become a Jedi. Game could be a little longer, and the fact that you can't save progress with certain codes enabled is a major bummer. Otherwise, it's a great game with plenty of missions, incentives, mystery and intrigue that has made Star Wars a pop-culture phenomenon for decades.

If you like flat out fun, this game is for you. The cut scenes are for par with the PS2. The collision effects, are realistic, with few flaws in the action scenes. The game has a good story line, although multiple trips back to the same places are just a bit repetitive. This fills in some of the gaps in the story between the movies. The extra character players are a nice bonus, although playing Mara Jade or Shaak Ti with a dudes voice is a bit disturbing. If you can overlook that its a blast.

The price was right and the game was as described. It was a very good purchase and the game itself was awesome. I would do business with this seller again.

THis was an excellent game, great story and gameplay is awesome.One of the best if not the best Star Wars games of all time!!!

My brother really wanted this game and the price was great. He has been playing the game ever since he got it in the mail. Fast shipping also.

This is an excellent game, and was in excellent condition.Bought game as a present for my grandson. Great graphics, story line, and full of challenges.

Because its Star Wars, and because this is the first game where you can do such much along the lines of using the force. Graphic are not bad, this game is for the PS@ so the graphics could had been better, and maybe they are for the PS3.

I bought this item and can't pay, this is the first case that I can't cancel a purchase with my PayPal account! my account is verified, it should not have problems, I contacted the seller, but could not give me a solution.

The seller was very professional and the turnaround was very quick. I would definately recommend this seller to anyone.

Great Buy for the PS2!!!! This is great addition to anyone who is a collector or loves the star wars series should invest into this game!!!

I waited a long time for this game and I was rather disappointed. I am a fan of the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games and this just didn't make the grade for me. Especially when the Light Saber had about as much power as a stick. I mean seriously, it took three or four slashes for my Light Saber to put down an Imperial Trooper. That makes no sense to me. The whole game is like that. Maybe it is just me, but when my character can crush and AT-ST with GRIP FORCE in a cut scene and then when I use that same power in an actual fight and it has absolutely no affect....well, that just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. It's a shame. I wish they could have applied the physics and realistic (I use that word loosely) force powers to a Jedi Knight game.

This game is great because of the combinations you can create with Force power usage. You can pick someone up, choke them, then electricute them, throw them into others and they explode! Crazy! I have never seen an AT-ST wadded up into a ball and thrown to the ground with such an explosion or stabbed a rancor in the back of the neck, slid down it's back dragging my lightsaber along the way. ....wow...

Here's some things that are different:

- You don't hold your lightsaber upside down in the PS2 version. Not a huge deal, but I was a little disappointed.

- When you use some of the character costumes like Luke Skywalker, or Han Solo, most of the cut scenes don't work.

- The storyline is awesome because it is true to the nature of the Sith. Play it and you'll see.

All around, a great game. I'd say best ever made for first person shooter engine! It does end a bit quickly, but like any true Star Wars fan, I don't really care! It's Star Wars, so I love it!

This rocks the uses of the force. You really get to see how powerful the force can be and how powerful Vader really is. This is an awesome game to play on the PS2, but probably even better for PS3 or X-Box 360!!

This is a great game with a great story behind it. An untold story to continue the Star Wars trilogy's, games & books. I would recommend this game for any Star Wars movie fan, Star Wars game fan & Collector. This gives you an untold story to Darth Vader after Episode 3 ROTS. I give this game 2 thumbs up for the story & 2 thumbs up for graphics.

When i first saw the commerical for this game, i was like WOW. Finally be a Sith and have the Force powers do Fry anyone in your way!

Now buying the game, i knew this apprentice of Darth Vader would only go so far. Ive seen the episodes NUMEROUS times. Set between episode 3 and episode 4, we are in control of a mercenary that does the bidding of Darth Vader. Through out the game i never knew Anakin could be so 2 faced! Kind of repetitive through some of the levels, but the ability to Fry ppl made up for it. I played it a second time hardly using my litesaber and just electrifying people.

By the end of the game, you actually beat Vader, and i was like.. THIS cant be! And your so AMPED up, you think you can take on the emperor himself. Foolish. I almost felt sorry for the apprentices ending. almost.

love the story, game play, most of all i love the different stuff to unlock makes playing it again more fun

Very good story, and solid graphics, but the gameplay was severely lacking. No where near as polished as other Star Wars games like KOTOR.

Despite the fact that I passed this game one day, it is a bad ass game.
I got so into it that I played it for 15 hours straight.
It fits very well in the Star Wars saga.

i love this game. graphics are so good for it to be a ps2 game. the unlimited things you can do in this game is awesome. something really neat is you get to choose however you'd like to see the game end. (alternative endigs)

I am delighted with the product you buy, the game this in excellent conditions, the shipping was fast and urge all perform secure purchasing through ebay
