OK you just cleared a big thing. I rented this game, did like 100% when it came out, had fun. Then, years later I bought it again and...it was entirely different compared to how I remembered it. I knew there was different versions, but my child brain thought I played in on the gamecube, but I was in fact playing on the PS2 version which is why I was so confused. All in all, thank you

[@panthastaa34]

Ive only every played the ps2 version and now im so curious about the other versions. My experience is basically the same with the original Tony Hawk Pro Skater games (1-4) ive only played the ps1 versions and just recently within the last couple years i found out about and saw the huge differences in the in the ps2 versions that ive never played

[@aussiegamerplays7284]

I've played 4 different versions of this game with the 360, wii, psp and that el crappo phone version shown right at the end. Honestly would say that all in all the PSP version is the single greatest version of this game by far. It has the greatest content available at the cost of low end graphics. This game displays the absolute embodiment of why modern gaming sucks. The content is all there and it's all amazingly good fun to play.

You just brought back so many memories. I remember renting the wii version and a few months after it was returned I wanted to play again and bought it for the Xbox. I was so confused when it was different.

I met Sam Witwer and asked him about the different takes for the 360/ps3 and Wii/ps2 and he said they had him and the cast completely re-record the script. (Which probably had to do with the altered levels as well) So glad to see a video on this. I played the 360 and Wii versions and the Wii version is one of my favorite games. I'm so excited it got ported to the Switch.

A lot of games from 2014 on did a lot of things prior decade did badly and improved it, but failed at what made games good before 2014 on. What makes FALLOUT 4 works is the Artstyle.

That and Nar Shaddaa is previously seen during the Tie Factory level (its the planet the factory is hovering over). I assume Flandrew knew all this but just wanted to Segway into the next bits of the game (albeit a tad weirdly).

Thank you very much for reaffirming what I just honestly chalked up to being a delusion.

I remember that the Nintendo DS version did the Star Destroyer part differently. Instead of pulling it out of the sky, it was already falling, and you had to redirect where it landed. Supposedly, that's what happened in the novelization as well.

[@birdsteak9267]

I would prefer that version, because Starkiller being so strong just always felt like a Canon killer for me. Or that he manipuled the controls inside the ship, which also would make much more sense, though such things would rise questions why Vader didn't do that to Luke, you know, just hijack the stick with the force 😬

When I was a kid, I loved the DS version! My brother and I really connected over it. The really unique thing in the DS version that didn't get covered is how many special force moves you can accomplish by using multiple force powers at once! Instead of tapping just one, you can drag the stylus across the screen to make special force attacks like ball lightning, force repulse, force impale, and force storm!

They serve the same purpose. They are the Jedi trials. On the PS3 version you do the trials by moving the platforms to make paths and moving the light ball on the line before fighting the evil version of yourself kinda like how Luke fought a Vader vision on Dagobah. On the PS2 version you go to the temple multiple times and each boss represents one trial.

This series deserves to have definitive versions released that include all the content from all its versions. Then we can finally get The Force Unleashed III and a conclusion to the story. Btw, it is still SO DANG refreshing to hear a KZbinr be both so fair and entertaining. You acknowledge how over the top the games are but still talk about how fun they are. It actually makes me realize that it's kind of weird that this kind of balanced approach is so rare on KZbin. Why is that, I wonder? Clearly people don't have to take extreme views on something as innocuous as action video games in order to be entertaining, yet many do anyway. There are tons of people willing to write off games like this completely for one reason or another.

[@darthplagueis13]

Doesn't the "flagship" version actually make a mention of Starkiller tracking Kota from Nar Shadaa to Cloud City? I think the first level with the TIE fighter factory was basically in the orbit of Nar Shadaa so it makes sense that Starkiller would start searching where he had last seen Kota.

[@arthurfrayn7619]

Yea he slams him to the planet below and isn't 100% sure he is dead; senses him later. I suspect Vader taught Starkiller to never assume they were dead without a body based on certain past experiences.

[@MrWheelchairstud]

First off love the video, I do have one critique. When comparing Force Unleashed and Fallen Order the two characters are vastly different in terms of training. Starkiller was trained by Darth vader over 10 years. While Cal was still a young padawan. Who for a time had not stretched his force muscles so to speak. Keep in mind also that Starkiller, had no qualms about the darkside. So his power would have been more amplified by the darkside. While as Cal stayed in the light, not using the full range of what the Force could do. Again, love the video and keep up the good work 😁

Now after seeing the differences between the flagship and the Wii, think it’s safe to say the latter actually had better content (but that PS2 version looks great too). Now I want a Switch just to play a slightly graphically updated version.

[@kibawhitewolf2878]

Im enjoying your content a lot keep it up dude!

[@elijahhuffstutler7012]

5:36 i don't believe this is in inconsistency. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that when you find Kota, Starkiller says that he tracked him from Nar Shadaa, meaning they went there first and were able to find there way to him in Cloud City Edit: I went and found the scene to fact check myself, and yeah, he basically says he started at Nar Shadaa and tracked him from there

Dude I literally JUST started replaying this game (PC version with sound fixes and a 60 fps fixer, HIGHLY recommended as it makes the game much easier on the eyes on PC) and I remembered that there were very different versions. I am shocked to see the time coincidence of this vid! I have skipped a majority of the first half as to keep some of the parts I've forgetton about a surprise still, but I am excited to see some of the other versions I've missed! Just gained a new sub, extremely entertaining and well researched vid my dude!

[@acethademon7820]

There's an fps fixer? Good to know, I tried playing a few weeks ago and the lag was really annoying

[@uncleben9911]

Your videos are entertaining and well made

[@bobjohnson1633]

All the different console versions really showed how different teams made what we're often great games.

[@corsto]

im lovin this series on multi-versions of games, loved the force unleashed growing up, cant wait for you to cover the DLC for it as well!

[@nahuel2167]

This is becoming one of my fav channels. Keep up the amazing work. About the game, I first played the PS2 version. I remember it being really fun. I didn't like going to the Jedi Temple like three times tho. The PS3 version was also really good. Too bad the game on Steam is very unplayable.

[@Crow_Rising]

Back in the day I always thought it was dumb that games got such different versions on different systems. These days I kinda miss it though, I've grown an appreciation for the idea of going through more or less the same story again but in a different way. If you don't really like one version, you could give another a try and see if it's more your cup of tea. These days games are more expensive to make and take longer to develop, so we don't really get anything like this very often anymore.

[@CHRF-55457]

Meh. If they stucked to one version, there may or may not be fans upset over Starkiller being too OP when he pulled the Star Destroyer out of orbit. Only the DS shows the Star Destroyer already falling towards Starkiller instead of Starkiller pulling it down like in the other versions.

[@concreetboyyee]

I miss this story so much, Disney would earn all my respect if they did this story justice again like they’re doing with fallen order’s story

[@Tanknorris7]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has said this but I love this video concept breaking down different versions of games. Keep up the great content!

[@Bendover69694]

So freaking weird, been on a force unleashed video spree and now you upload this! “All is as the force wills it” haha

[@YoungGunn]

Amazing video bro keep it up

[@NC-cf7kl]

Absolutely loved the krome version. Its simplicity and sometimes better level design made me love it when I was younger. Also loved visiting the Jedi Trials and beating them as starkiller as we see his story progress. Also the mission on cloud city in the krome version is way better. We also get Nar shadaa. The only thing I hate about both games is you visit the planets twice. For story purposes it works, seeing what starkiller has brought to the once better and somewhat thriving planets. But they really overdo it

[@pokemonovice9758]

I love your videos so much. Thanks for making my day better; I hope you have a great day too

[@davidbastardo4154]

I played the Wii version first, and it was a lot of fun to me. I was 12 at the time, and particularly liked the Bespin mission with the Chopp'a character, who doesn't appear in the PS3 one. You even meet Lobot on that one. Then I played the PS3 version later, and still enjoyed it. I never liked the fact that you almost kill Vader, though, even if the DLCs were awesome.

[@Lucas-jf5zu]

I love that people are finally getting interested in this game, ive been playing it since it released first on my ps3 now on pc

[@solomonmars5735]

Great video.. i grew up playing it on PS2 then PS3 when older... remembered certain fights being different or completely omitted. My friend who played on WII was shocked to hear there was different versions of the game.

[@thresherc8841]

I think it's really cool to see the different creative choices in each. One I particularly remember is that in the Wii version, when SK presents Kota's saber to Vader, Vader uses the force to forcefully take it from his belt before he can extend it, whereas in the flagship version, SK kneels with it presented and Vader picks it up with the force. Kinda liked the Wii version of that scene better, made Vader seem more menacing

[@twoavgbrothers7361]

I mostly played the PS3 version because that was the only console I had back in the day. Didn't how much cool stuff some of the other ports had to offer, great video!

[@Gigglenox]

Like others have pointed out, yeah the DS touch controls were bit underwhelming at first, but you didn't really touch upon the movement combos that are possible. I remember one where you just drew a spiral across all of them to pull off this devastating move which used all your Force powers at once in a massive AOE attack.

[@colelubebrecht7407]

i remember playing the xbox version growing up loving every second including the dlc i'm surprised you barely talked about customizing the crystals i ran around levels for hours trying to find all of the cool unstable and black and white crystals, it was just a really cool game, i had no idea the wii version and xbox version were so wildy different i always saw the ship lay out when people where showing off their different outfits but i thought my game was like broke or missing a dlc lol

[@AtomicDudMan]

I loved when they use to make slightly different versions or even completely different ones. With your Harry Potter games I own them on every platform from handheld gameboy color, gba, ds, ps2, Xbox original, and Xbox 360 for all Harry Potter games😂 What a time for the same game name but different games. Good times. Love the content buddy. Keep it up!

[@yeahman6907]

I love that fallen order didn’t have Cal compete with Darth Vader whatsoever. Darth trained starkiller for a whole decade while Cal was pretty much where he was as a Padawan. Maybe a bit more than that, but it really shows the differences in strength

[@aramis9331]

Yeah, I died like 3 times to a space frog there’s no way Darth Vader is even gonna break a sweat lol

[@raiu6642]

dude you did gods work with this holy crap my childhood

[@sergiuszstrzelecki9781]

I somehow forgot to give you a sub while watching the other videos and watched this video just now. I have to say, you finally convinced me to buy TFU on PSP. It's downloading to my Vita now. Keep up the good work, your videos are great! BTW. Are you maybe planning on doing a TFU 2 video? It turns out that the Wii version is quite different as well and I'm kinda on the fence whether I should buy it or not...

[@Flandrew]

Thanks, yep tfu2 is in the pipeline

[@ItalianGuy2357]

I only ever had the DS version and the emperor fight killed me. Might have to check out the PC version and it's interesting to see the PSP devs go so hard on delivering extra content just for a mobile platform

[@HistoryandReviews]

Played TFU 2 on 360 when it came out. Then played it for the first time on the Wii in 2018, shocked to say the second game port to the Wii is incredible and beautiful

[@Manmade023]

Your sense of humor is over the top man

[@ZethisVA]

I loved this game (and the sequel) on PC so I bought the Remaster for the Switch and was very confused, because it was an entirely different game than I remembered because it is based on the Wii Version. Thanks for clearing this up!

[@coolbrotherf127]

I played the crap out of the PSP version as a kid. Looking for every single crystal took forever, but it was fun. I also really enjoyed the extra modes that they added. I never got to play the flagship version until it was finally re-released on Steam. I did play the demo of that version though on a friend's Xbox 360 though and was a bit disappointed at first when I couldn't do all the crazy destruction in that version on the PSP, but the extra stuff made it fun. I also played the Wii version a bit as my nextdoor neighbor had it for his Wii so I got to play some of the multiplayer modes for that one.

[@bigkmoviesandgames]

my favorite was the wii version. It's just really fun going around swinging the Wii-mote and pretending it's a lightsaber.

[@hydrathedaydreamer]

I played the Wii versions(Remastered edition), yes, versions, as there was a second game(that gave you an additional lightsaber). Both were very fun to play and always brought me back to my rusty old Wii, speaking of which, I might go replay the games sometime.

[@ubergurbergoblin69]

ily, this was funny asf and entertaining

[@coryleaver31]

I had it on the PS2, PSP, and the 360 but my favorite was always the PSP version. All the bonus features and bonus levels on the PSP put it over the top for me, as I felt like the 360 and PS2 editions were lacking in extra content.

[@DIEGhostfish]

16:16 Interesting thing about those pirates. Other than the mandalorians who lead them, a LOT of them are from traditionally enslaved groups in the Star Wars EU and movies. Female Twileks, Talz (The four eyed fuzzball medics), actually not sure if the Whiphids(The big tusked ones with Axes) are enslaved but they're big and furry and the empire tends to oppress those sorts. There's also a couple Ithorans and the requisite Gran Grenadiers.

[@delonejuanderer]

This man's channel is something I never knew I needed. I miss these times.

[@yukiyagami9744]

Waoh i didnt knew about this psp version, all those extras are sick, it actually gives you a reason to try it even after playing the other versions

[@GamerGuy249]

I loved the force unleashed growing up. I even spent a ton of time just watching physic test videos about how stormtroopers will grab each other and how wood would break.

[@oddyquinn]

I'm so glad you did this video, I was really hoping you would. It's funny that you called TFU "every 15-year-old's dream", because I finally played it last year, and afterword kept telling myself that I wished I could've played it as a teenager. I would've loved the hell out of the game. While the HD flagship version is my favorite, I actually adore every version of it, they're all a lot of fun to play (haven't played any of the mobile versions, but I could see myself enjoying them). Looking forward to you covering the DLC, and maybe even TFU2 in the future!

[@ZedEdge]

Great video! You did an excellent job of balancing the overviews while highlighting some notable specifics. Rolled along really nicely.

[@puregamer1592]

I played every version of this game (excluding the switch port) and it’s still one of my favorite Star Wars games. While the DS and mobile versions didn’t flow as well as the console versions, I think they had their own charms for being different and the developers using their own ingenuity to make them play differently. I would also like to say that I’d pay top dollar for a remastered version using the same engine for Jedi Fallen Order & Survivor. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

[@runicknight1151]

I swear that purple crystal that was in the statue at 14:50 was ripped right out of Crash Bandicoot

[@itzsmurfyt9421]

lol yes

[@IzzytheMelody]

The Empire on Raxus Prime, if I recall right in lore, was mining up and refining the scrap, where they then launched it up to their space station above that took that raw material and turned it into Star Destroyers, TIE fighters, AT-ATs, etc.

[@SchnitzelRada]

Had the wii version growing up then got the xbox one later, I still have it and love to play it every so often. Great video

[@10kae]

I used to play the PSP version until my fingers fell off growing up. Then A couple months ago I bought the PC version for nostalgias sake and was just in shock how different the game felt and looked. It wasnt as fun as what I grew up playing and has just decided "oh well I was just a kid back then ofc it wouldnt feel the same" but now you have shown me that I wasn't crazy and that I indeed played a different game entirely!

[@jojotoofor9eight766]

I think all of the versions of this game are genuinely very good, especially the PSP version with it's length and amount of content.

[@vs_v0ld092]

Wii version was the one I grew up with and I loved it. Crazy how I never knew it was way different. No wonder the other force unleashed kids thought I was full of crap.

[@OryXity]

god i always thought it looked different when i went back and looked, i played on the nintendo wii and the vader on kashykyyk mission was in darkness (at night) but whenever i looked for gameplay years later, it was always daytime and the mission looked quite different in progression too, now i know why, thank you!

[@grimslade0]

Seeing Sam Witwer's photo reminded me. I didn't know Starkiller was actually modelled after his voice actor. After having played the game, I watched the Jayson Statham film Crank. I saw Witwer acting in it and it was very bizarre, yet I understood immediately what had happened. Which for the time, is a testament to how good the graphics were. 👌 Again, very odd experience. Haha.
