Fun, but lacks... well, a lot.
I am a relatively new gamer, and this was one of the first games I bought. Awesome God Like Powers? Lightsabers? The Ability to chuck stormtroopers around like dolls? I was so there.
I beat the game in approximately 8 hours (not non-stop). I was hoping for something that I could continue to play for hours, explore some fun worlds, and then finally win. The game play was fun, electrocuting your enemies is always enjoyable, and tossing them off the death star was pretty much just awesome. But the boss battles were infinitely annoying. The use of the specific buttons to finally finish the dang things, instead of just wailing on the boss until he died was frustrating.
All in all, a fun game, but I wouldn't pay full price for it, and I'm kinda glad I didn't.

Okay, but monotanous
Very good story line and some great effects. You start the game with some of the cooler force abilities and are thrown straight into the action.
However, the only thing that changes throughout the game is your abilities and the story line. The gameplay itself becomes bland and repetitious after about the 3rd or 4th mission.

Star Wars Fun
Designated best game ever by 13 year old Star Wars fan. Didn't know we could get for PS2 until checked online.

One of the best video games in a long time.
When I first had the chance to play this game, I was blown away. After a whole childhood of watching Starwars movies, I finally had a chance to play as a Jedi the way I always wanted to.
Lucasarts has had mixed attempts at trying to make forcepowers in videogames, but this one gets it spot on. You can pick people up with the force, and the flail trying to grab at objects to stop you from moving them around. You can rip tie fighters out of the air. When you throw objects around, they break. Its wondrous to watch in many ways.
I definately recondend this game. It gave alot more then I expected, expecially since the story and quality voice acting give the game pathos far beyond the fun of throwing people around with the force.

A Long, Long Time Ago....but a Short, Short Game
"The Force Unleashed" is a linear action PS2 game that is entertaining and is overall enjoyable. Set between the two trilogies, the main character, a secret apprentice studying under Darth Vader, is a pawn in the internal battle between Vader and the Emperor and his actions will shape the Star Wars universe. The graphics are excellent and the plot, if not gripping, is solid. The secondary characters are well fleshed out and the soundtrack and score are pleasant. But there are problems. The gameplay is limited and the controls and camerawork need improvement. The game is too linear and does not allow the player that much freedom to explore the Star Wars universe. The chief problem is how quickly the game can be played. This game ca be beaten in 10-12 hours (and that is a conservative estimate). This seems odd to say the least especially in this day and age and is the chief flaw of the game.
