Unleash The Power of the Force!
The gameplay of the game doesn't have any upgrading on the "Force Talents" and "Force Combos", it does only have an upgrade for "Force Powers". You can still customize your lightsaber color and crystals and costumes. Anything is still possible in the game, you can impale your lightsaber to the enemy while force lifting. But seriously, you can't lift your enemies up and down, unlike the PS3 version, you can really force lift your enemies upward and let them fall. Still it has the end-striking system.
Untold or now told?
The plot focuses on the life of Vader's Secret Apprentice. Not much information about the protagonist, just simply a secret apprentice.
Set in the dark times between Episodes III and IV, the story is both a continuation of the prequel trilogy ? exploring the aftermath of Order 66, which called for the immediate execution of all Jedi, and focusing on the continued rise of Darth Vader and a direct bridge to the Original Trilogy. The Force Unleashed will forever change the fate of the Galaxy and explain key plot points that directly lead into events in Star Wars: A New Hope.
The Secret Apprentice?s journey takes him across the galaxy; from the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk to the junkyard planet Raxus Prime and the mushroom-covered planet, Felucia.
He is aided in his dangerous missions by a loyal sidekick PROXY - a prototype holodroid with amazing abilities, and an alluring Imperial pilot named Juno Eclipse.
The Apprentice will clash with powerful enemies, including the spirited Zabrak warrior Maris Brood, Jedi Master Shaak Ti, and General Rahm Kota, a hard-boiled Jedi soldier who senses that the Apprentice is destined to become something far greater than just Darth Vader?s servant.
Jedi and Sith views...
There's not much detail about the game. The only thing the makes it spectacular was the physics engine, even though LucasArts developed the PS3 and 360 version, Krome Studios did an excellent job of making the PS2, Wii, and PSP version of its physics engine. Physics engine do well in the 3 versions. Now, the cutscenes are not that attractive than the PS3, the scenes were not motion captured and have less detail. You can hardly see the mouth moving while they talk. The only best part of this game was its physics engine and its stunning attack combo moves.
Let your ear combine to The Force Unleashed!
With a 5 speaker sub-woofer system, your house will surely feel the Force around it and especially you. With the cool lightsaber, explosion, gun fight, force lightning, force power, enemies grunts, and simply the best voice-acting sound effects, you'll definitley say "Wow.... THIS GAME ROCKS". The soundtrack of the game had been mixed with the Episode III (the good thing is that the "Battle of the Heroes" is in the game) and IV sounds from the well-knowned composer, John Williams.
May the Force be with you, till the end...
It is still a worthy game for the PS2 though. But srsly, you can do anything like the PS3 version, but only it lacks some features. And the PS2, Wii, and PSP version are like demo with all the stage. Still, it's a good game. And you won't regret buying it for the PS2.
