It definitely had beautiful looking cutscenes, but was too short of a game. I think if it had more time in development, a longer story, more boss fights like Vader, it could've been far better.
Yeah, but also take it when it was made. Thats how games were back then...before all the multiplayer, "seasonal" based revenue games. I loved thia game.
I beat the first game around 20 different times. I played the second one just as much. Maxed out my character on each game getting every crystal. I would kill for another Force Unleashed game in todays times with modern graphics.
Man they really nailed it back then. Jacobs look, the way he held the lightsaber(s), his abilities, the costumes, settings, the darker story, the crystal customization. Gaming really went backwards from there.
They only had 9 months to make this game. 9 MONTHS!!! This game is a masterpiece if you think about how much time they had to make this game. If they had a bit more time, this game would have been the best star wars game ever made.
Thats complete BS. There has never been a game this huge being made under 4years ever so stop lying. A 9hour campaign game alone takes at least 5years even tekken spends around 8years to make. You clearly have no idea what you`re talking about
@@toprap88 Do your research. Production for The Force Unleashed II transpired over an approximate period of nine months. The game was made in a short period of time. Don't compare this with Tekken. Clearly, you don't know what *you're* talking about.
honestly that stupid deadline is what holds this game back from greatness. there's little to no plot and the whole thing just screams "unfinished". "The Force Unfinished" I wish the big setpieces had a great story in between like the first game, and more levels.
I remember playing force unleashed on my psp and then seeing there was a second one I was so hyped. To be honest I think the only reason I wanted to play the second game was because of the duel wielding light sabers
Dude I downloaded Force Unleashed on my PSVITA like a year ago, played it, and beat it... and dang dude. It was such an amazing game. Graphics are rough on the PSP but the gameplay was so amazing that it didn’t even matter. The only thing that was tough was playing with one analog hahaha. That always kinda sucks and there’s no mod for it to work with dual sticks unfortunately. There are more for other games to be dual stick like KH BBS and GTA on PSP for the PSVITA. Wish they would do that for Force Unleashed. Anywho... I’m going to download this on my modded PS3 and play the sh*t out of it soon. It’s going to be legendary considering a huge graphics upgrade from the PSP and two analog sticks lol.
@@ItsSamStone yeah I think I'm going to get it on steam, I just finished jedi fallen order and I was disappointed that we couldn't dual wield lightsabers
I love the fury because it changes tsarkillers fighting style and he grabs a storm trooper and just bash his face.... crush robots and the At's... they had too much fun with it. I love it
I just bought both the first and second game because I remember playing all of these when I was little Starkiller is still one of my favorite Star Wars characters
When I was a kid for things like the Force Unleashed I’d like to make my own head canon for it (to be honest I still do it can be kinda fun sometimes) and my own background on Starkiller or Galen Marek was the descendant of Darth Revan and Bastila Shan, with Revan learning various prophecy’s including the chosen one and having lived through so much conflict decided to make basically a secret family of force wielders in order to stop the chosen one in case they fell to the dark side, with Mallie, Starkiller’s mother being the direct descendant and since quite a bit of irony occurs when people try to screw around with the chosen one prophecy it backfires, with Mallie dying and Starkiller being captured and apprenticed by said chosen one who fell to the dark side, it would also kind of put into perspective how powerful the Chosen One and Skywalker bloodline is that it millennia for a force user to family with brutal training on top of that to be able to get within the realm of power as the chosen one
You might want to try the ps2 version of the first force unleashed. It is mostly the same but there are differences in cinematics and some level design differences. I actually like the ps2 version better than the ps3 version.
I remember my friend having this game on the xbox 360 around 2011 and thinking it was peak video game graphics and I was blown away and was so sad I didn’t have the game myself I loved it so much, eventually I got the wii version because I didn’t have any other console but I can’t remember if I got the first or second force unleashed But I thought the way that the light sabers left marks on the ground when you swiped them was next level
Of COURSE! Also at 1:35 you're wrong, the games as they presented the story were NEVER canon! The novelizations were & Disney messed up by making them non-canon
This game was quite fun other than the boss fights which were a bit tedious but it's not an issue because there weren't many. Love the moves and gameplay
It’s definitely worth it. That is if you haven’t played it hundreds of times before, but overall it’s an amazing game that deserves a third if and when it comes
Well I can see the first game being canon to the Star Wars timeline but the second one I will admit is crazy(and I love it). Actually all Jedi from the original canon was overpowered. Man I miss those days. Lol 😂.
Jedi fallen order is awesome but Screw what Disney says these games have to be lore to give Star wars some weight, George Lucas himself was behind the first ...
I loved the force unleashed games mainly the first one and I played the second when It was first came out but never finished it. I went back and played it recently and my disappointment was there
The first game was fantastic, and this one was okay but would’ve been better if it was longer and not mostly filler. 1:13 On one hand it’s sad that the Force Unleashed games are non-canon, but on the other hand they kind of do a similar thing that almost makes up for it in the show Star Wars Rebels.
Star killer is very powerful but I look at it now compared to my memories of the game when I played it on Wii a long time ago, back then it looked 4k but it doesn't because times change, I played 2 more than 1 because you didn't have to swing your Wii controller and in 2 you could just press A and B.
Ayyyy, you forgot about the MANY lightsaber color combos and how they can effect your force powers/health whenever equipped. (Example: Dark green gives more health, while light green increases the xp you gain. ((I think, I haven't played in so long. But I did get both black saber crystals)
I enjoyed this game, but when it finished, I was just frustrated. I felt like Prologue, like now Starkiller Falls to the Dark side completely and does black-op missions for Vader, conspiring with him against Palpatin, while, maybe seeking a way to undo Vader himself and take his place, and maybe given a chance of redemption by the end of the game... but no! Game stops, having just begun. It should have been an addon to tFU1, not a separate game.
Loved the unleashed franchise, had more fun than fallen jedi (which I loved). I got it used so I'm extremely happy with the games. I disagree with you, that it should've been cannon. Then the newer star war movies could've spoken of him in passing. This story was too good to not be cannon and was a huge wasted opportunity for the star wars lore (kinda like darth maul being killed in episode 1 then brought him back for the animated series)
It shouldn't be cannon and it was never meant to be cannon. It was always supposed to be a fun experimental game and it definitely nailed it. Starkiller was way too overpowered and that's what made the games fun. Now if you think about the Star Wars lore, Anakin Skywalker was always planned to be the most powerful Jedi. That's why Force Unleashed games cannot be cannon.
@@ZoloVentorio No no, Anakin is *The Chosen One,* meant to bring balance to the force. Luke Skywalker beat him in ROTJ, and the only reason Starkiller is so powerful is because he was *raised and trained* by the chosen one himself, and (unlike Ahsoka) in the Dark Side 👍🏻...
@@ZoloVentorio Also some of the things he does in games are just so the player will have fun. In the comic books of both TFU games, you see his "Real" strength and power. He barely beat Vader...
They should make starkiller canon because he’s suck interesting character but they should take out some details like when he kills Vader or when he turns Luke, then kills him
Yeah, it way beats anything we've gotten so far. Including Fallen Order. I know the next Fallen Order is supposed to have more Force powers for Cal, but nothing in this era holds a candle to the Force Unleashed games.
1:40 Rouge One is canon, and there is no reference to all of those new characters, so what’s your point? Also in The force Unleashed novels, Starkiller was not overpowered.
i went from the rdr games to the force unleashed one and two. great games but the stories are extremely short compared to the games i played just before. i only played for 4 or 5 days and had finished the stories.
It's funny how he mentioned that he agrees with Disney because Starkiller is "overpowered and was not mentioned in the movies." Yet, Ahsoka Tano was NOT mentioned in the movies as well. She didn't appear in any Star Wars project until the Clone Wars TV show. Plus Luke and Anakin are overpowered, so I say bs on that sentence. Otherwise, great video
with what you said at the very beginning, it makes me think you didn’t watch the very first cutscene where he talks about the entire situation, and the first game definitely didn’t leave a cliffhanger…
If this game had more time in the oven, would be a easily a favorite of mine, for a game that was made in 9 months , it plays so smooth and fluid to this day and is a enjoyable time, too bad it feels very short compared to the first one : (
Seems that every time someone escapes from the star wars original story CURSE, they create something amazing and impressive. look at fallen Order, they resemble the same escape from the original curse to something unique and fun for both the story and the gameplay. People need to know that >>> We have to let go of the original, the middle, and the last and worst trilogy story lines and make something great again out of the star wars universe, because the star wars comics are crazy good!. I guess they didn't have the luck that the MCU had which created something as interesting as the comics form the cinematic point of view for everyone, even the ones who don't care for comics previously.
Ok my honest oppinion... In the previous days i was like: ok lets replay the game. The story was totally ok,graphic is amazing,detailed creative map design,sometimes beats 2024 AAA SW level designs,amazing voice acting. Yeah the game is much weaker than TFU1 but dude gameplay is soo enjoyable....i would play that game 10x ,than SW Outlaws...
60 fps fix? Link? Is it just editing the minsmoothframerate and max? I did that in Alice Madness Returns and it started at 60fps and then dropped regularily in all enemy fights to even under 20 fps.
If people think that Starkiller is OP in both games, then they haven't played the game on, at least, medium. The enemies are TOUGH then! The games are still great!
On PC (for me) it always crashes in the last section where you crash land back to kamino and I couldnt get it working, so that I could progress further
Heyy, if it's fine for you, can you also make a video on should we buy ghost of tsushima? My friend wants an honest opinion. He doesn't trust IGN after what they did to demigod simulator.

You are growing fast. Can't wait for you to hit 1M
Same here
Revenge of the sith had dismemberment
This is the only Star Wars game to my knowledge that has actual lightsaber limb dismemberment
Jedi Outcast and Academy also had Saber Dismemberment, but they needed a cheat code for that
I've been playing it again recently and it's great
It's 5$ on the Xbox marketplace and both DLCs are 1$. A steal.
"Give them a good shock!"
*proceeds to use Force Push slowly instead of Force Lightning*
I stand by that this game is one of my all time favourites
Hopefully, If They Do Make This Game, I Hope It Brings Out More Awesome Star Wars Figures As Well !!!!!!
