Loads of fun, beautiful graphics, and a paper-thin plot: It's Star Wars!
First of all, you should know that this game is kind of short. I received it yesterday and it took roughly 10 hours on standard difficulty to complete.
Yet the fact that I didn't move the entire 10 hours is testament to this game's ability to be loads of fun to play, regardless of game-length.
THE GOOD:

Good but flawed
The Force Unleashed is a fun game that suffers from a variety of technical problems and programming short cuts that obviously indicate that the game was pushed out the door.

Loads of fun, beautiful graphics, and a paper-thin plot: It's Star Wars!, September 17, 2008
Fun:
First of all, you should know that this game is kind of short. I received it yesterday and it took roughly 10 hours on standard difficulty to complete.
Yet the fact that I didn't move the entire 10 hours is testament to this game's ability to be loads of fun to play, regardless of game-length.
THE GOOD:
The opening level places you in command of Darth Vader, giving you a preview of the absolute power of the force... that you realize you can't match at first with the apprentice. As the developers have stated, this is to give you a chance to realize what you can become.
The absolute awesomeness of this level really sets the tone for the game. Marching down and eliminating Wookies while ATAT's walk down below from the cliff and Star Destroyers, troop transports, and TIE Fighters fly all around left me feeling like this was really Star Wars.
The leveling in the game gives you a chance for character customization once you take control of the apprentice. Want your force-grip to be able to grab two enemies instead of one? Spend your force points in upgrading force-grip. Also - you can wear various costumes, make your lightsaber one of nearly 20 colors with various special effects, and really make your character your own.
The gameplay is solid, with a few questionable level designs toward the end of the game.
THE BAD:
The story is 'good' but as I gave the writer of the novel a hard time for not delving deep enough - I have to say that the cutscenes were chopped down to the point where you really can't grasp the full impact of the story which was more clear in the novel.
The Romance:
The love dialog/romance is worse than George Lucas if that gives you any indication. These characters develop feelings for one another despite Juno Eclipse being little more than a 'professional imperial' who forgot to button the top 5 buttons on her uniform and having no dialog really outside of a few sentences in the cut scenes.
Then again - if I saw a woman dressing like that I suppose it wouldn't take much romance for me to develop feelings for her either.
Multiple Endings? There is a dark side ending and a light side ending, but this isn't Knights of the Old Republic. 99% of the game is the same regardless of what you choose to be/wear/do. The final 'choice' is made 30 seconds before the final boss fight. Regardless of how you play the game - it comes down to what you do 30 seconds before you fight the final boss. I was hoping for a variety of missions or at least a change in objectives.
Frustrating objectives:
Sometimes your objective is very vague. I spent more than one level wandering in circles and jumping off cliffs trying to figure out what to do because the mission objective was something like "Pick out the hydrospanner from the flexoregulator" which is probably something you would know if you were an uber-geek who knew what either was. Guesswork and trial and error. Also - in the second Raxis Prime level the force controls at the end LIE to make you die quicker.
Bugs:
Few and far between, but I had some ATST decide to despawn (which was good for me) and a few hiccups. For the most part the game was solid.
OVERALL:
Despite the flaws, I sat through the entire 10 hours and couldn't stop because it was extremely addictive. The game is simple - but it works and is fun. You can tell a lot of love went into this, but you can also tell that the cutscenes feel disconnected from the rest of the story in terms of dialog because of spotty editing which leaves you wanting more.
This is better than anything else LucasArts has had in a while, and you really feel like this is Star Wars.
Bottom line: A step in the right direction. A+ Gameplay, C- Story.

Good but flawed, September 17, 2008
Fun:
The Force Unleashed is a fun game that suffers from a variety of technical problems and programming short cuts that obviously indicate that the game was pushed out the door.
Pros:
+ The Graphics are great for a PSP game.
+ The game is fairly long and has a lot of replay value with the main story, Force Duels, Order 66 (survival mode), and Historical missions.
+ Lots of unlockables. Unlockable characters/costumes for both Force Duel and Main story, arenas, upgradable force powers, lightsaber colors and hilts, and art galleries.
+ 1 on 1, 1 on 2, and 1 on 3 battles with Jedi are awesome. Probably the best part of the game.
+ Force powers are fun to use.
Cons:
- Programming short cuts appear throughout the game. To mention a couple, some menus you can use both the analog and d-pad while others you can only use the analog stick. Another was that you can unlock various characters to use in story mode but all cutscenes are unviewable if you choose to use them. 2 issues with this. One, cutscene are rendered real-time so to put these characters into the cutscene it only requires a couple of lines of code to switch the character image. Two, at least they could have defaulted back to the apprentice instead of killing the cutscenes altogether.
- Camera is bad. You cannot move the camera at all and it is slow to readjust to your movements.
- Lightsaber combat is a little weak. Limited Hack and slash similar to Core Crisis. Force powers make up for this but it would have been nice for a little deeper lightsaber combat.
- The game freezes A LOT during both gameplay and cutscenes. This is either due to amateur programmers or a lack of QC. It is really unforgivable to produce a game for a console that freezes this often. While it doesn't kill the gameplay, it can get really annoying at times. The worst is that it lags during the opening when the Title appears on the screne (I have a PSP SLIM).
Overall, when it works it is great. While the camera problems and the constant freezing to load (it really does get bad) hurt the game, it never really kills to fun. If you can get by that it is really an enjoyable game. Hopefully Krome/LA will release a patch to at least take care of the freezing problem.

If you enjoy action platformers and star wars it doesn't get much better, December 3, 2009
Fun:
Again I'm given the difficult task of reviewing a game of mixed renown. In the case of Star Wars Unleashed it is safe to say it did well with its' fan base selling millions of copies but was received with lukewarm scrutiny by the critics. Because of this I did not know quite what to expect. Having just beat the game all I can say is it delivered the goods I expected and was in no way a disappointment. Like many other games that belong to the action platform genre it is a blast while playing but despite the fun you are having it ends too abruptly.
If there is a single crime Force Unleashed is guilty of it is that in some ways it is akin to playing God of War with a light saber. Finishing off bosses or large foes requires button mash mini games. Most are easy enough with the hardest one requiring the player to pull a Star Destroyer from the sky as Tie fighters attack mercilessly. As you swathe your way through storm troopers, rebels, aliens, and walkers you collect points from slain foes which eventually make you "level up" so you can improve force powers or buy brand new ones. There are many epic feats Star killer can do and luckily enough a few special attacks such as "lightning bomb" are brand new to the franchise.
Most surprising is the story line is top notch. Side characters such as the beautiful and resourceful Imperial pilot Eclipse and Proxy the friendly yet psychotic droid are oddly endearing. The voice acting is delivered wonderfully as you would expect from a Lucas arts title. In some ways the plot pulled me in just as much as the one in Knights of the old republic though Force Unleashed should not be mistaken for an rpg.
The only thing Force Unleashed can be faulted for is that you visit some worlds twice. Felucia and Kashyk come to mind immediately though I'm happy to say that the lay out drastically changes for each visit. The environments can be truly breathtaking and I was very impressed by the graphics as a whole.
In my whole time playing I can only think of one glitch. When I fought Vader the second time our life bars froze. Pretty much we were both invincible so I had to start my battle over with him upon resetting my 360. I was glad the same glitch did not happen twice. I should mention though the load times are slow the auto save points are put in good places so rest assured dying does not require you restart the whole level.
On account this is the Ultimate Sith edition you are also getting the Jedi temple, Tattoine, and Hoth levels. Two of these missions extend an alternate history in which Star Killer becomes the new Darth Vader. The Jedi Temple was exclusive to the ps2 version until now.
How worth while this game is depends on two factors. If you've already beaten Force Unleashed I'm hesitant to say if the 3 hours of extra content will be worth it for you. Secondly be forewarned this is a Star Wars game from the action plat former mold thus you can likely beat it in one or two nights if you have nothing better to do.
If however you want to know how The Rebellion got started and be put in the shoes of one of the most epic Jedi/Sith rear kickers of all time Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith edition is a steal at the present asking price!
Pros
+ A plot of romance, betrayal, redemption, and conspiracies delivered with flair and passion.
+ Beautiful breath-taking visuals
+Mostly fluid combat and varied ways of using Force powers
+Game does not penalize you for failing real time event button combinations on the lowest difficulty
+Some of the best voice acting I've heard in awhile
Cons
-It is difficult to lock onto what you want sometimes to target objects or foes with your Jedi abilities.
-The sound track is not bad per se but we've all heard these same tired musical scores thousands of times by now.
-The game is not completely absent of glitches.
-Can be beaten quickly
- If you've already beaten the original I cannot in good conscious suggest you trudge through the Ultimate edition for a measly 3 additional hours of play on the special disc that includes the bonus levels. Only the Hoth mission is exclusive. The others can be purchased on Xbox live as downloadable content.
Ending Thoughts: It is hard for me to describe exactly how I feel about Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition. Most complaints I could level at it would also have to be taken up with other games from the action genre. While it doesn't do anything new it does it very well.
Certain people will have a beef with Unleashed merely on account it uses the Star Wars license. Many reviewers are prone to attack a title if it some how connects with a movie or popular franchise. Force Unleashed shamefully draws both those cards.
Yet I never witnessed an instance this game lied about what it was. For those of us that wanted a game similar to Devil may cry or God of war with Jedi, Sith, and Storm trooper it is a dream come true. Had Unleashed been an rpg I would have complained about its' short span. However safe to say most of us know the appeal of this romp is throwing around hapless unfortunate souls with our minds right before we electrocute them with force lightning! On that raw visceral level Unleashed succeeds while offering a memorable tale to boot!

Works for me, September 19, 2008
Fun:
Pros
- Good story and voice acting
- The visuals are magnificent- I found my self looking outside of Cloud City rather than killing stormtroopers at one point
- When you fight a jedi boss the game switches to a wide-angle pulled-back cinematic camera reminiscent of the duel between Dokku, Obiwan and Anakin in Revenge of the Sith. This is one of the best ways I've seen of taking advantage of the HD screen format and resolution. When you Force push your enemy across the room it really does remind you a lot of the movies.
- Sound track is good- some new themes and old themes are enhanced.
- Even though NPCs appear to have the ability to block your force powers or lightsaber blows, each one of them has a particular weakness you can exploit - so it's not really a problem
Cons
- Locking on to objects is sometimes clumsy- PsiOps did it much better
- A few bugs here and there
- As compared to say Jedi Outcast / Academy it doesn't have as rich a Force upgrade mechanism- mainly because the story doesn't really lend itself to it
- Camera needs to be manually adjusted frequently
- Too short
- There are some frustrating jumping puzzles - especially with a problematic camera
Considering I've been waiting since Jedi Academy for another Star Wars game, and the fact that the average budget for a video game is over $40 Million, spending $60 on a decent Star Wars game seems like a bargain to me. I have no complaints.
Comparison to the Wii version:
- Wii version uses canned Star Wars musical score. Reminds you of playing the old Jedi Power Battles game.
- Wii controls are quite well thought out and does make Force wielding fun.
- But over time the Wii interaction does tend to get fatiguing.
- The visuals between the Wii and PS3 are night and day- including the cutscenes which are rendered using the in-game engine. The Wii's visuals just look really dated/primitive compared to the PS3's. E.g. on the first mission on Kassyk, if you look at what's happening in the background on the PS3, there are stormtroopers on a beach-head in the distance slowly advancing, and shooting and then dying. It's gratuitous but it's beautifully done. None of this made it to the Wii. Of course this is understandable since the Wii is a less capable system.
- Wii provides additional game levels not provided in the PS3 game.
- The Duel Mode on the Wii can only be played with another player, rather than with an AI- too bad.
If you own both the PS3 and Wii, I recommend buying the PS3 version and maybe the Wii version when it goes on sale. TFU is visually the most stunning Star Wars title to-date and missing the opportunity to experience it's full visual splendor would be a shame.

Should have been a great one but....., September 17, 2008
Fun:
This game is pretty good but could have, and should have been great but as usual they just decided to get too cute. Using the force powers to dangle stormtroopers in the air, throw them around, and hit them with lightning (as seen in the trailers) is lots of fun for a while but that doesn't even come close to making up for all the areas of the game where the designers just thought it would be funny to frustrate the crap out of us. FYI...NOT A LOT OF SITH LORDS SPEND 20 MINUTES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CROSS A FREAKING JUNK PILE!!!! Oh and how the hell does a junked robot steal the force energy from me?!! Oh how I dreamed of the day when I could become a sith lord and fight a giant junk robot and spend a solid hour doing stupid jump puzzles and falling into lava. Why? Why do people think it's funny to frustrate us? The game has a great storyline,almost as good as KOTOR, but that doesn't make up for the glitches and frustrations. After not even 3 days of owning it, I beat the game despite the frustrations and glitches, that tells me they were a little short on content for it to have been hyped for so long.Don't misunderstand, this is a must have for any Star Wats fan, but it is not worth the 59.99 price tag and doesn't live up to the hype. Wait for the price to drop to at least 39.99 and then get it.

Awesome force power!, September 21, 2008
Fun:
Okay, so I have to agree with the other review here that the game is kind of lacking in that god-like power we kind of figured we'd be able to experience from the intro (I wanted to sink a star destroyer and not from just a cut-scene. Still, you get to knock around some TIE fighters). The Force Unleashed is still a pretty cool game, however.
I'm a big fan of "Jedi Academy", so I was expecting it to play a bit more like that (it really felt like you had more choices in Jedi Academy). This game is VERY linear, and you won't get a chance to just go explore any planet you feel like (I was kind of hoping a guy could get to hang out in the Star Wars universe a little) and it seems EVERY bad guy has a shield up. Even in Jedi Academy you could take down a storm trooper with a little light-saber action. In this game, you kind of have to hack at 'em a bit.
I'm still pretty addicted to this game. The ability to customize so many different force powers is awesome, as is finding different color crystals/hilts for your light saber and costume changes. I beat the game as a sith (didn't really mean to, I guess I headed too close to Darth Vader and the game seemed to think I wanted that ending) with left kind of a massive hole in the plot of any of the Star Wars films. It does let you continue back to the beginning with all of your powers (which is pretty darn cool), but I have to admit I was kind of hoping for something a bit more from this game. It had so much potential!
I guess if I could offer a little advice for the next one, it would be nice to have a few more choices on the fate of the character and if this guy is supposed to be a massively-powerful sith, why is everybody else tougher to kill?
If I could offer any tips to other players, ramping up your lightning skills really helps wipe out hordes of Storm Troopers (and others you encounter)!

Just the action game that the Star Wars franchise needed, September 16, 2008
Fun:
It took me no time at all to become a fan of The Force Unleashed. The game starts you as Darth Vader himself, fighting your way through the Wookie planet to eliminate a rogue Jedi in hiding that the empire has discovered. Vader lets you experience what some of your force abilities will be throughout the game as you later play his apprentice. And while is was very entertaining, I found something a little disturbing about killing dozens of wookies. They howl at you as they die and everything...
Soon you are playing Vader's apprentice, trained by Vader himself in the Sith arts. Your abilities are much more limited from what Vader himself had; I'm guessing to leave Vader as a benchmark to what you can aspire to become. Still, TFU doesn't waste any time and throws you right into the action. The force abilities you are given are incredibly fun to use against your enemies: foring pushing them into walls, picking them up and chukcing them like dolls, picking them up and chucking them like dolls into TIE Fighters, lightning, force repulse and the good old fashioned hack and slash with your lgihtsaber. You think that killing dozens of rebel and storm troopers alike might get old, but it really doesn't. The more of them you kill, the more force points and combo points you build up and you get all new ways to eliminate them. And even though you seem to be an unsoppable killing machine, the game is still challenging in spots, and I'm only playing it on the medium difficulty. Battling other force users is one point where the game can get challenging and also more fun. Matching wits and strengths jedi to jedi is a very fun gaming experience. Upgrades also add a nice element to the game, collecting points for new force combos, upgrading your abilities and upgrading your character's stats. This adds an extra addictive element to the game in a mild RPG fashion.
And then there's are the visuals. They are amazing. The character designs, the lighting, the action; they are all flawless. The backround settings and environments are also gorgeious and have an almost painted look, like a mural. This might sound out of place but it actually looks really amazing. You might see what I mean when you first arrive on the junk planet. My only complaint here is that some of the close up textures look a little bland, mostly on the fungal world that I've noticed.
Audio is great too. Much of the score is old John William's classic, so there's no complaint there. A lot of the affects seem to be taken right from the movies, which is also fine. Sound affects for explosions and force sounds seem about as good as I could expect. And I especially like how the troopers plead for their lives as you pick them up with the force and wave them around.
The story itself is also very well done. It bridges some of the gap between episodes 3 and 4 and actually explains some of the continuity. It also manages to do this without recycling old Star Wars stories and themes which is nice.
So I enjoy this game a lot. One complaint I've read in reviews that I only partially agree with is slightly clumsy controls. There is some room for improvement there (when using force grip, throwing an object and getting it where you want it to go can be difficult.) But every game for me has something about the controls or gameplay that I don't like, and I usually look past it. Another complaint of mine is lack of multiplayer. This could be an awesome game multiplayer.
To reiterate:
Pros: Mostly great graphics, fun and addictive gameplay, awesome force abilities, good story
Cons: Some clumsy controls, graphics could use work in some areas, no multiplayer
The Force Unleashed is a great game for the Star Wars fan or otherwise and I recommend it.

Play the downloadable demo first, let down by controls and linearity, September 19, 2008
Fun:
I was looking forward to this game, the technology in it is impressive, however the controls are terrible and it has some strange added flaws, the camera on the opening boss fight with Darth Vader was buggy and it did not bode well for the rest of the game, how could they miss this in testing? The primary mechanic in the game is the use of Force abilities, however control of it is completely deficient, it's the weakest part of the design. You cannot decide to target anything accurately because there is no reticle, just a box on whatever you are force targeting now. Moving this means the character on screen turns slightly and you're left to guess where the heck the aim point is because the camera hasn't changed & is under independent control. As a result, even after a lot of "aiming" and practice the force autolock 'reticle' jumps from object to object with no precise control and no way of guessing where your true aim-point is other than that hinted by the character orientation. It's not merely that it lacks precision and finesse (and it lacks them indeed) it's that it's horribly broken with no feedback. Aiming anything requires continuous feedback, this game has NONE other that a very crude guesstimate based on the Jedi's (Sith's) orientation in your independently moving camera view. Stuff like force push is great but at times you literally cannot hit a barn door with it from two paces. Standing in front of a door your aim is determined by your 3rd person jedi's character orientation (who is too cool to walk in a straight line so he sidles around and stands at an angle making things even worse). You press 'o' and he's oriented the wrong way and blam you force push in some random direction and he's often pointed the wrong way.
Control systems are somewhat arbitrary, and designers have a choice & make trade-offs, whatever committee settled on this control system ruined what could have been a great game.
The best game mechanic is force throwing stuff, it usually locks and manages to find a target, but forget about reliably aiming with this at anything, nonetheless throwing is satisfying, however picking things up to throw them and aiming with force push destroys the pleasure and the throwing only really seems good due to auto-lock and by contrast to picking up, again you cannot really aim with it.
The heavier enemy/boss fights are very God of War "simon says" affairs (after you beat their health down). You cannot take down a single AT without the right plodding button combos. You can slash at it force throw stuff push at it, but in the end you'll be there getting whittled down unless you have to press the right button sequence as they appear to pull off an effective attack. Correction, unless it's a true Jedi boss you can usually keep whittling it down without the GOW sequence and they get easier as you level up.
The levels themselves are linear with pretty much one way to progress. You're a rat caught in a maze with no turns and the spawning is very uninspired. 5 storm troopers in this corridor, 3 rebels next, kill them and there's a respawn there, but it's very much one set piece after another from the minute to the large, even the trivial stuff is set in stone.
The graphics are stunning and the physics is impressive but the AI is surprisingly disappointing after the hype, you can stand out of range or hide in a corner and take pot shots at a boss. This game is a highly polished disappointment.
I have to add here that the save-load game facility is flawed making the manual save game illusion bizarre & pointless. No joke, you can save your game but when you load it jumps you to the last autosave even after cheerfully telling you you saved successfully and warning you of lost unsaved progress if you quit. I find this quirk beyond strange, it's completely incompetent. Try getting the Sith Robe holocron in the junkyard, falling (and you will fall) means redoing the very tedious boss fight to get over the chasm, saving after the boss is killed does NOTHING. You're always back to before the fight (I revisited this and this is inconsistent, there's another autosave point just after but it didn't work teh first time through, I have no idea why, it is definitely inconsistent). If this isn't a bug then the designer has a lot to answer for and the damned game should tell you what the heck it's bizarro-world meaning of save game is. I should have known this was trouble when the load game facility was up a menu level with the added inconvenience of forcing you to leave your game just to load a save.... only to find it's not really the save you made, sigh.

The New Star Wars Movie is an Awesome PSP Game!, September 18, 2008
Fun:
A great epic adventure more on par with movies IV though VI. A God of War inspired Star Wars expansion to the movie franchise, That is every bit as good a game as GoW:Chains of Olympus, and while this may not be the system seller GoW was, because of multiplatform availablity, it is a definite must own for anyone who games with the psp. This version of TFU rivals that of the more powerful consols with regards to fun and in many ways it surpasses those versions, throw in a slew of PSP exclusive game modes and this may just be the one to own.
If you outright do not like Sci-fi or Star Wars specifically, you'd probably still enjoy this well put together, beautiful nonstop action adventure title, sure some of the appeal of being a lightsaber wielding jedi knight/sith and how eloquently this ties the two trilogies together may be lost if you're not a fan but it's still a intense action/adventure with great gameplay. You do not have to be a rabid Star Wars fan to think this game is great fun, for example I enjoy the movies but I do not own a single one.
I have played some of the xbox360 version and it is visually superior in every way but for pure gameplay adrenaline I prefer this version. The cut scenes have suffered some due to the limitations of the technology but a fully functional and complete version of the story is here, just not with the lavishly detailed movie quality of the ps3 and xbox360 versions.
The level designs for this version are unique, while the settings are the same as it's big brothers what is found here isn't a shortened experience but a completely individual take on the environments. Another additional psp exclusive is the Jedi Temple levels. (some of these exclusives may appear in the other versions of the game created by Krome Studio for the wii and ps2 but it's my understanding most of them do not.)
This is an excellent package and a great game, nearly everything that's in the other versions is here plus more, 10 different hilts, 16 color crystals, and 7 power crystals for your lightsaber, 10 different outfits a total of 280 hidden extras scattered throughout the main game to discover only adds to the replayablity of a game already possessing a higher replayablity than most games in the genre. There is also the ability to increase your force powers 4x each throughout the game making you much more powerful and deadly, and with 20 powers including throwing your lightsaber like a boomerang and shooting lightning from your fingers you'll feel like a total bada$$ whether you're choosing to use the force to crush the throat of stormtroopers or toss a Wookie off a cliff.
There are three bonus single player modes on the psp version including Historic missions where you get to play 2 famous scenes from Return of the Jedi and 2 from Revenge of the Sith. Another psp exclusive bonus feature is getting to play the Order 66 event that prequels The Force Unleashed. The third extra can be played single or multi and it's a battle mode called Force Out where you can choose form a multitude of Unlockable Jedi and Sith characters from both trilogies and TFU. There are also numerous unlockable arenas and other specials available.
In addition to the force out battle mode there are two other multiplayer modes I haven't had a chance to play as of writing this.
An amazing campaign and a ton of bonus features should make this superbly made game a candidate for psp game of the year.
Graphics: A (cut scenes B)
Sound: A+
Control: B (I only experienced significant camera difficulties during 1 boss battle in one of the bonus History Missions, not part of the main game.)
Fun and Enjoyment: A
Overall: A-

Best Game Yet for the DS, September 28, 2008
Fun:
This review is from: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Video Game)
Too many people are comparing the DS version to the Xbox 360 or PS3 version. You can't do that and be unbiased. There is no way the game can be rendered or played the same way on the DS as it is on the stationary console systems. I own it for both DS and 360 and it's a great game for both. But I think as far as DS games goes it really shines. Beautifully rendered graphics for the DS, excellent sound, and a wonderful storyline. If you're a DS buff like myself and enjoy portable games more than console games this is a must own for your favorite pocket pal.
