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.

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.

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.

The Best Star Wars Video Game Since KOTOR

Star Wars The Force Unleashed is a fantastic game. It features a compelling story arc where you play as Darth Vader's secret apprentice. The game mechanics are fun, and the Force powers operate somewhat similar to Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy. This is a game worth buying and playing more than once.
