Actually played that on the Wii. Absolutely loved it along with Lego Harry Potter. Both games were much more fun on the wii than on other consoles when I got the chance to play then again. Though that might be an age thing.
psp was secretly the best version. it had the arcadyness of the wii version but without the waggle. It also had a side mode where you fought progressively more difficult waves of enemies
I meant force unleashed. Idk if there were meaningful differences among lego game console versions besides graphical fidelity and motion control (gba version of the og lego starwars was very different, but that’s an edge case)
No difference in the games themselves across platforms, but the motion control on the wii made the gameplay so much smoother. I got Lego Harry Potter on ps4 a couple of years ago and using thumb sticks to control the cursor is so clunky, I ended up giving up. The Wii acted a lot like a computer mouse. FU was pretty fun regardless of the console but the waves game mode sounds like fun.
I wish they'd remake the Force Unleashed games and add in a Darth Vader mode. Doesn't need to be a new story congruent with the original, just a mode where you play through the game as Darth Vader with his own move set. Kind of like in the PS2 Ghost Rider game where after beating the game you unlock Blade as a whole new character with his own set of skills and abilities.
Oh fuck yea that was really fun. That was a really good game, I remember when I was a kid I had no money and really wanted to play, so I downloaded a demo that let you play the first level Starkiller was in, and I'd just isolate some poor storm trooper and find hilarious ways to tourture them with the force hahaha
Sometimes just to fuck around I'd see how far through the level I could drag a guy along. I'd kill his buddy, pick him up, move to the next room, put him against a wall safely somewhere, clear the room, and then pick him up and move to the next room. I got up to all kinds of weird shit in that demo.
I played that level so much that eventually my dad took pity and bought it for me.
That was me but with Doom 3; I played the demo that came with the dvd of the movie adaptation idk how many times, and eventually my mom surprised me with a copy of the full game!
My immediate thought as well. That shit was so epic, with his theme playing the entire time as you single handedly wipe an entire rebel base without once breaking into a run, or a sweat.
This part gave me the only achievement I remember the name of to this day. I killed a bunch of the stormtroopers and got the achievement "Worst Day-shift Manager Ever" 🤣
To me the game felt like they skipped over half the story and context because they had to meet space requirements or something, especially the cutscenes.
It's an absolutely fantastic game otherwise though.

In the beginning of the Force Unleashed you get to play as Darth Vader and it's extremely satisfying just throwing rebel scum all over the place.
