So I tried playing FORCE UNLEASHED In 2023...

Force Unleashed has gone down as a classic in the Star Wars game lineage due to its incredible physics, unique protagonist, and satisfyingly brutal combat. All these years later, it still hits just right.

    If you think Vader killed the stormtroopers because he wanted to save the padiwan you definitely need to re-watch that scene. It served 2 purposes one was to stop them reporting to Palpatine and other was to gain the kids trust since he just watched Vader kill his Dad. Wasn't out of kindness lol

    I grew up with the Wii version and it's honestly still my favorite way of playing it. The utilization of the wii-mote as a lightsaber brings me childlike joy each and every time I play it, taking me back to when I was a young teen playing it for the first time. It was so important to my experience that I outright skipped The Force Unleashed 2.. because the lightsaber combat was locked to the A button. I've since tried the game out on PS3 and PC, but I've never really gotten myself past the first level on either. Even the Switch version, which is largely a port of the Wii version, didn't feel quite as good to me because of the way the joy-cons are built compared to the wii-mote. I might give other versions, like the PS2 and 360 TFU, a try sometime just to see how things feel now, but as far as I'm concerned, the Wii version *is* Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

    As someone who's owned the TFU on PS2, he's right, this version is definitely worth playing. I loved the level designs and combat, they always felt so Star Wars. Additionally, the alternate costumes & skins were great and varied, as well as the lightsaber colors. Massive shame on how the sequel (& would-be sequel) failed to deliver.

    I loved this game when it came out,but I hated the Star Destroyer scene, not that I didn’t think Starkiller could do it,but that it was so damn frustrating to play that scene. Even with the annoyance of playing that part I played through it many times over the years. The sequel on the other hand was disappointing, it’s too bad they were not given proper time and resources to make it great. At least we all still have the various permutations of the first Force Unleashed. Great Video!!

    It's games like this where I wish there wasn't A strict Policy in canon. My head canon is that Sith Lord star Killer Overthrows Palpatine, who admits his Defeat, and hands over his Empire. Gaining more powers And he Goes through the Rebellion. Teams up with his apprentice Luke Skywalker to save a Tortured Leia, From The Clone of Starkiller. From there He reshapes the way how the sith operates. Getting rid of the rule of two (to spite Palpatine) When Leia asks to also be his apprentice. And goes to other parts of star wars and created an Empire Of Neutral Chaos. Star killer also finds and saves proxy, putting him in charge of An old Droid army from the Clone wars. All that And more.

    This is my second-favorite Star Wars game of all time. The Force Unleashed 2 is my number one. These games are the Star Wars stories that convinced me to give the Star Wars franchise a shot, because I didn't watch any of them before I ran into these two games. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 1&2 will probably never be dethroned as my favorites when it comes to Star Wars games. Because no other one that I have played has ever come even remotely close.

    I never liked the underhand grip on light sabers. That grip supposedly gives you more speed but at the cost of reach. With real swords with real mass it may be true. But there is debate on whether you are faster or not. It might just give you a -1 to reach. With a massless beam of light there is no benefit to the underhand grip.
