The Force Unleashed is a lot of fun, especially the Playstation 2 version. I have it for both the PS2 and the XBOX 360 because I didn't have the 360 when TFU was released, but I picked it up later. The 360/PS3 version has way better graphics, of course, but the PS2 version has features I like better. There are parts that take place within the Jedi Temple. Vader sends Starkiller there for research, and you fight force ghosts of long dead Sith lords. It's really cool, they're like bonus boss fights. Also, when you're playing, you can block blaster bolts and move, which you can't do in the 360 version. I think some of the other Force powers are slightly different. Anyway, it has some other cool features too, and it does showcase just what the PS2 hardware can do with graphics, since it came out towards the end of life for the PS2, as far as game releases. I think the Wii might have gotten that version too, since the Wii also has less advanced hardware than the 360 and PS3.

Ironically, I've only ever beat the game on the PS2. I've played it through more than once. I can't seem to be bothered to finish it on the 360. Wink (good thing I bought the 360 copy used for not a lot of money)
The PS2 version sounds similar to the Wii version.

The PS2 version was definitely better than the 360 version and I have both and beaten on both consoles.

I think they're the same. They were done by a separate studio to work with the lower hardware specs of the Wii and PS2.

That would explain the lack of graphics. I had the strategy guide. The PS3 version was identical to the 360, but if you started from the other end of the book, it had the walk-through for the Wii. It's how I first heard of Darth Phobos, and that was one of the factors in how I came up with my own Sith name.

Yeah, the Wii could never hang with the PS3 or XBOX 360 in terms of graphics. That's why it cost so much less. I never owned one, but I've played a bit on my sister's Wii, and it's OK. But, at least it got the cool version of TFU. Wink

I have some HD Retrovision cables on the way from Castlemania Games for my PS2, and you can bet TFU is one of the first games I'm going to play once I get the PS2 hooked up in HD. I tried it on an emulator on my computer the other day, but there were too many graphical errors for my liking.

If the PS2 version was "so great" why is does the novelization follow the PS3 version?

Or perhaps it's a mix of the two. How did the adventures on Raxus Prime play out?

I said I prefer the PS2 version, I never said it was "the" version. I just like what I like. Wink

Though, the novel doesn't really follow anything. The whole project was a multimedia project that was developed simultaneously, much as they did with Shadows of the Empire about a decade earlier. However, the answer is really pretty simple: the PS3 and XBOX 360 were current generation consoles when all of this was released, the PS2 wasn't. The PS3/360 version would probably be considered the more "official" version.

Either way, it's a great game and if you play both versions you can note the differences. Since they were done by different studios and the PS3 and 360 are technically superior, the levels are completely different. But, that actually makes it more fun to play both versions.

One of these days, I need to pop my XBOX 360 disc into my XBOX One because I can. The game is one of the many older Star Wars games that work on the One.

1) You know I was kidding?

2) You didn't specify the events of Raxus Prime. I remember the novel deviated from the plot of the PS3 game. I wondered if it followed the PS2 version.

I'm testing out my new HD Retrovision cables for my PS2, and I have The Force Unleashed in right now. Cool

1) You know I was kidding?

It's hard to tell in text sometimes.

2) You didn't specify the events of Raxus Prime. I remember the novel deviated from the plot of the PS3 game. I wondered if it followed the PS2 version.

I never read the novel, I've just played the PS2 game all the way through and part of the 360/PS3 version.

I remember the Raxus level. That was the one in the junk temple in TFU1 right?

Yes, that's the first Raxus Prime level. You actually go there twice.

I don't think I made it to the second one. I just remember thinking Kazdan Paratus was one of the most unique Jedi I have ever seen.
