Overall, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is an old game that’s back for another round on the Switch. If you’re a Star Wars fan who hasn’t previously enjoyed this title, I can highly recommend giving it a go. The engaging story and excellent voice work help bring it to life, despite the slightly dated graphics and relatively simple gameplay.

Critic reviews
- 6.0The Force Unleashed's Switch version is a decent blast from the past, even though it feels a bit too conservative as a port.
- 7.0It’s all very simple stuff (which is even more evident in the limited two player local-only no-bot versus mode, which also features characters from the films), but it keeps the flow of the game moving.
- 6.0There’s absolutely no variation in stage design or objectives in the entirety of The Force Unleashed. You get an impressive array of fun Force powers to use, from lightning strikes to stylish lightsaber throws, but not much reason to use them.
- 8.0Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on Nintendo Switch is an amazing port. You get to relive the moments and space adventures of Starkiller and his motley crew in a much cleaner and sharper version of what the Wii offered.
- 5.0Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’s biggest draw is nostalgia with this Switch port. Many have good memories of the game from its original release in 2008, but unfortunately, this port fails to respect this beloved IP. Perhaps the worst thing is that there are plenty of beautiful games on the Switch, and there’s little reason this couldn’t have been one. It could have redeemed the ill-fated Wii version, but instead, it might have worsened its shortcomings.
Gamer reviews
Terrible
This game is just god awful sure its an older game from 2009, but the graphics are horrible compared to other games that came out in 2009!!! Did you forget Batman Arkham asylum, Resident Evil 5, Uncharted 2, Bayonetta, Cod MW2 and even assassins creed 2!!!! Which were all phenomenal from the 2009 era but this game with its janky controls, tbh confusing story, boring missions, horrible level designs and just weak combat just gives it a low score, I would give it a zero but im just too much of a star wars fan and i do like the concept but its just bad game.
