@@alumlovescake ah very interesting! I tried the pc version and I did not enjoy it as much as the ps2 version, regarding the wii iteration, it had the ps2 version but with enhanced visuals? same content and things?
Just bought both versions recently, convinced my friends to get it too. PS3 feels weird because there’s plenty of input lag, but the physics engine and graphics makes us for it along with the mobility. I just got my PS2 version in today and I just got done with the first mission and I feel like the PS2 is far more superior when it comes to terms of gameplay.
PS2 has more thought out enemie encounters and level design thus making it a more enjoyable experience. PS3 version is a pile of horse shit with no thought put into the level design. Everything feels so random
The PS2 version's gameplay feels much more polished than the PS3 version's. The PS3 version is more expansive in terms of force abilities as well as physics, but it's much clunkier. I prefer the PS2 version overall.
I grew up with the wii version which is just the ps2 but slightly better graphics and for the longest time I didnt know the ps3/xbox 360 version was a different game, I prefer the ps2 though its far more interesting and fun and visually appealing such as the phase 3 501st troops from the beginning.
I believe it would've been better if the PS2 version had the PS3 graphics, Proxy Boss and Star Destroyer take down. Maybe I could do without the 1st Jedi Temple level.
7th gen: -Better storytelling -Satisfying game feel -More destructibility -Difficulty setting -More experimental gameplay -More crowd control gameplay 6th gen: -Tighter brawling, feels just right for 1v1 swordfighting -More natural feeling force powers -Cooler spectacle -Significantly better bosses -More combat customization -More content out of the box (PSP specifically) Overall I prefer playing 6th gen because its less significantly flawed, but in terms of underlying game design, it's very apples to oranges. 7th gen is better for crowd control, where you're thinking about how to use your assets in different scenarios whereas 6th gen is more polished, where bosses are a lot better and the 1v1 gameplay has more depth to it
Before replaying the ps3 version, I was remembering it as being way worse than the ps2 version. But they definitely have they’re own pros and cons, like you say :)
@@ShatteredLute it's funny because I grew up on the 6th gen version mostly and when I heard people complain about things like Raxus Prime or the camera I basically experienced the literal version of "were we playing the same game? I don't remember this being bad at all" until I first owned the 7th gen version when I first got an Xbox 360 lmao But yeah, the 7th gen version did get better for me and open up on repeat playthroughs, but I still can't get enough of the 6th gen version. My only issue with it is that it's a little easy and the difficulty settings were omitted. It's not a bad kind of easy, it's just really forgiving and not due to lazy design, but I feel that had there have been a way to make the game harder the combat's depth would've truly shined through. One thing I'll never get enough of in 6th gen is how bigger opponents feel really big. The 7th gen version doesn't really have this for the reasons I stated in my OP but the 6th gen version just kinda nails that feeling of overcoming something big for me
I had no idea the game was different on the older and new gen consoles until I got the ps3 version years later (after 2 came out), just to play the game again with later hardware and better graphics, but then was like “hang on, I don’t remember the game being this way at all” then remembering they did the the same thing with the Harry Potter games back in the day, where the pc versions of 1 through 3 were really good (imo), and the ps2 versions were... not bad, but not as good (imo) haha But yes, it probably would have been a greater game if they combined the best parts of both into a single game :/
@@ronaldmichaels3280 i see it like this: the Krome versions tell a better story and you visit more locations like the Jedi Temple and Cloud City. it also make some things make more sense, like Starkiller taking down the Star Destroyer- they copy the reveal trailer, whereas in HD, it's a slow quicktime event. that being said, the HD versions make you feel like a unstoppable juggernaut with how brutal and massive your attacks can be. compare the fight with Ozzik Sturn on Kashyyyk- in Krome, he just shows up for one scene and he's just some random pilot grunt. whereas in HD, he has some buildup and given a sadistic Most Dangerous Game vibe. and you take him down in a brutal way by tearing apart his AT-ST, whereas in Krome it's just one simple stab in a cutscene.
@@kingofmonsters14 tbh with you, I liked the Jedi Temple/Cloud City levels decently enough for the bosses and fanservice, but what do they truly add to the story? It always felt like they wanted to give it relevance but I never truly saw it. I can see your point regarding Ozzik Sturn, but there's a certain punch to Krome's gameplay I don't always get out of HD. From memory there's more force/saber combos, the bosses feel a lot cooler and climactic to fight, and on a personal level I always liked how for the bigger opponents the camera is pointed upwards towards them, something about that makes them feel all the more daunting to take on
I never knew a ps2 version of this game existed I remember playing the game for the first time in a Walmart on a public displayed PS3 whenever they did that They don’t really do that anymore which saddens me unless you count Nintendo products Also the Darth Vader model in the ps2 version looks like it was ripped straight from battlefront 2 Btw imo because I’m interested you should do a playthrough of the ps2 version
Cheesy Danish - Ah, those were the good ol’ days haha. After replaying the start of each, the ps2 version would be 100 percent better imo if it had those rag doll physics from the ps3 version haha That’s some funny stuff
Demetrius Mickens yaknow I would but I’ve already played and beaten the ps3 version So fuck that Plus I’m not that interested to buy the ps2 version so yea
I remember as a younger kid I played ps2 version alot, and when I played the ps3 version I tried telling my dad they were different. He would just say of course it looks different, it had better graphics. It took so long to convince him the game play, level design, and all that was different too
The PS3 version is hot garbage imo. It feels like The Force Unleashed: The Definitive Edition. Everything about the ps2 version is way smoother and more polished. Gameplay is way more important than graphics
ps2 and psp are the same I think story and features-wise. I think the psp version also had a versus mode. However, TFU on ps2 is one of the best star wars games on the PS2. I only wished they made ps2 ports of the DLC for the alternate complete sith edition ending as part of the original game on ps2 as a unlock after you collect whatever.
The first time I played this game was on the PS2, years later I played the PS3 version and its a completely different story, I was so disappointed by that
I grew up playing the ps3, so personally I prefer that one. I tried the ps2 one but the force powers don’t feel as fun, the handling of the game also feels really clunky for me.
I’ll have to do another video one day with a better hdmi converter for ps2, the one I used here wasn’t the greatest. It may have even been the worst lol
I’m playing on Xbox series X , it let’s you download the 360 version which I’m assuming is the same as the PS3. Shit feels weird , the ps2 version was way better why on earth did they make them different?
One of those strange times when different studios made the same game, like Harry Potter on PS1, PS2 and PC as another example. A lot of PS2 and PSP games had different versions too, I believe; it’d be interesting, actually, to look up how many games had different versions made by different developers.
It’s great to remember good games from your childhood. :) A similar game that holds good memories for me, and similar in the sense that it had multiple versions, was Peter Jackson’s King Kong. To this day it’s the only game adapted from a movie that I think is actually good.
@@reek3654 Classic! Played that again a couple years ago with the grandparents, to convince them that they’ll like watching some video games, and started with Red Dead 2 and then 1 because they like westerns; now they say Red Dead is their favourite western of all time lol
As someone who had the Wii version and every reason to be nostalgic for it, I honestly think the 360/ps3 version is better. Not to say the Wii/ps2 versions are bad but the level designs and combos in retrospect seem vastly inferior.
I like ps2 version more than ps3... ps2 version has more lvl and harder to beat than ps3 version... for me graphic is nothing if the gameplay didn't bring that much fun and challenge
I miss the static camera angles in games. I must look into some, for nostalgia :) Strange for the psp to have more content though, I’ll look into that; strange.
PS2 version is far superior over the PS3 version. Way more fun, Starkiller feels more powerful and well thought out levels. The PS3 version has some of the most annoying level design i've seen ever. The combat is honestly garbage to compared to the PS2 version. Sure theres more moves to use in the PS3 version but the way it's executed is just horrible. Everything just feels so random and theres no sense of progression of feeling like you are getting better at the game. I just chees my way through the levels that annoy me and that was that. PS2 version never frustrated me like the ps3 version does. You can tell in the PS2 version the Devs actually used there brains and made well thought out enemy encounters and level design. Where as the PS3 version is just a random pile of dog shit mixed together and they tell you goodluck. Everything is just random in the PS3 version. I was excited to relieve my childhood of the force unleashed but instead I had a misreable time getting through this garbage.
Idk what you’re talking about, the ability to throw around enemies like rag dolls ALWAYS made you feel more powerful in the ps3 version compared to the ps2
PS3-
Better Graphics
PS2-
Better gameplay
Better story arch
More fun
Longer
Everything is better
100 percent agree.
If you want the best of both worlds play the wii version on Dolphin
@@alumlovescake ah very interesting! I tried the pc version and I did not enjoy it as much as the ps2 version, regarding the wii iteration, it had the ps2 version but with enhanced visuals? same content and things?
@@algirdassalomskas9050 Pretty sure it does though not that much different, but it has motion controls with no option to disable them
@@alumlovescake ah understood, well thank you for the response, if I ever get the chance to own a wii I will be sure to try that version out
The PS2 version needs a complete remaster like the Crisis Core treatment. Unfortunately it will probably never happen.
It did on the switch and I think they did a good job on it even tho it’s just a hd port
I like the ps2 version better, you can choke people and it had better lightsaber customization.
It definitely did :)

It was going to happen but lucasarts started rushing the project so they got another team to make the PS3/Xbox 360 ports
I really don't understand why they cut some levels of from PS3 that you don't get from PS2 it's really dump so basically I play both
7th gen:

Ps2 is just better than ps3
Had so much fun playing it when i was a kid
The PS3 version is hot garbage imo. It feels like The Force Unleashed: The Definitive Edition.
Everything about the ps2 version is way smoother and more polished. Gameplay is way more important than graphics
To me, the gameplay (and obviously, the graphics) is much better on PS3/360, but the PS2 version is much better in pretty much every other category.
I think the PS2 version has better gameplay. Despite being a bit more limited, the combat and movement felt way more polished than the PS3 version

What i liked about the ps3 version was how fun using the force was, specifically with lift people and moving them around and they'd make noises
Yes
But lightsaber is weird compared to ps2
The first time I played this game was on the PS2, years later I played the PS3 version and its a completely different story, I was so disappointed by that
I grew up with the PS3/X360 version, and I think it is superior to the PS2 version in terms of overall playability.
I grew up playing the ps3, so personally I prefer that one. I tried the ps2 one but the force powers don’t feel as fun, the handling of the game also feels really clunky for me.
Me watching the gameplay on ps3 😍
Me watching the gameplay on ps2 🤢🤮
I’ll have to do another video one day with a better hdmi converter for ps2, the one I used here wasn’t the greatest. It may have even been the worst lol
I wish that they remastered this game for the PS4, because I enjoyed playing this on the Wii and PS3

Ps2🔥
Ps2 version is WAY better
As someone who had the Wii version and every reason to be nostalgic for it, I honestly think the 360/ps3 version is better. Not to say the Wii/ps2 versions are bad but the level designs and combos in retrospect seem vastly inferior.

Going from the ps2 first game to the ps3 second game was the same experience lol
I like ps2 version more than ps3... ps2 version has more lvl and harder to beat than ps3 version... for me graphic is nothing if the gameplay didn't bring that much fun and challenge
I like the psp version its just the ps2 version but with extra content and a camera you cant move
I miss the static camera angles in games. I must look into some, for nostalgia :) Strange for the psp to have more content though, I’ll look into that; strange.
I agree the ps2 has no multiplayer but the psp a 2003 handheld system has multiplayer and extra content
I prefer the ps2 you had choke and maelstrom also less clunky better movement and more levels and bosses like darth phobus and desolous were so cool
The ps2 version is so much better. ps3 version is trash
This version came to the Switch recently. Good to hear it's actually considered the better version.
11:24 what if markiplier plays this game?
I liked ps3 version because it has more combos some things are improved i would say ps2 because it has more levels but I would rather stick with ps3
I honestly preferred the ps2 version
I 100 percent agree :)
The psp version was excellent too
TyrantXII Was it the same gameplay and story as the ps2 or 3 version, or yet another version?
@@ShatteredLute full ps2 version basically maybe just slightly less quality textures
