Unfortunately Substandard Edition by Milo Price (USA)  3 Stars
November 26, 2009
This is just the game with all the DLC now included on the disc. They didn't even change the menus or anything to reflect the "Special Edition"-ness (yes, that's right, the loading times between menus are still there, even after the 5-gig install). No bug fixes, backwards compatibility, anything. Your old saves don't work on here if you have any and the bonus missions are very short, even the exclusive one. The trophies are a little buggy too, because apparently kills in the bonus levels don't count toward some trophies (I counted). The non-canon storyline is interesting enough, but it still feels incomplete, even with the addition of the Hoth DLC. If you were going to buy all of the DLC, this costs about the same, and if you haven't played the game yet, this is the edition to buy, but overall there's not a ton of reason to buy it if you've played the game. It comes with ten collector's cards (and one out of ten foil cards, are you supposed to buy the game ten times or what?) and the exact same manual from the first game.

Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition - the good, the bad and the glitch by Rafa (San Jose, Costa Rica)  5 Stars
November 13, 2009
When I found out, there was a special edition, I was really happy, I bought the regular edition when it came out on September 2008, a great game I must say but unfortunately it had a lot of glitches, (see my past review on the regular edition) but still I wanted this game. After playing for a little while, here are the things I like and also the ones I didn't like:
The good:
* Metal case
* All downloadable content now it is included and it is for "free".
* A collectible card.
* Art book.
* Price.
* Trophies are now available for this version.
* Exclusive level for the Sith edition.
As for me, the game seems to load a little bit faster in comparison with the regular version.
The Bad:
* On Amazon's product description, there's no info that it said just one collectable card it's included, too bad.
* It would it be cool if there were a soundtrack included for this edition.
* For people who already bought the two extra screens, the skin characters, they wasted their money because all content it is included.
* Too bad the special edition took over a year to be release.
* Your previous save data and all the hours you invested in playing the regular edition, now are useless because the save data is not compatible with the special edition, as for me A HUGE FAIL from Lucas Art studio.
The glitch:
* On some stages the character can float LOL, especially if the character needs to climb to get a holocron and then if you let him fall (a small fall not enough to kill him) on some stages the star killer will flow. The one I recall right now was in Felucia (level 3), when I saw it.
* This is the game with most glitches I've ever played on PS3 (actually the only one with glitches I own).
If you don't mind to re-play the game one more time, I would advise you to sell you regular version and buy this one, for all of their extras and the exclusive screen for this edition, you won't regret it.
Cheers.

collector's edition by panzerthrice (Keene, NH) 3 Stars
November 09, 2009
just the limited edition version that didn't come out along w the original release. DLC levels are really uninspired and cheap feeling. other than that it's the same game as last time around with a really nice steel case. i'm a sucker for the steel case so i 'upgraded' haha but for 20 dollars the original may be the better value if you don't care about the mediocre dlc or the fancy steel case

Great.. But Could Be Better by R. Riddle (Lake Havasu City, AZ)  4 Stars
November 09, 2009
Game play is really fun but the graphics aren't up to par. The extra levels are nice but you can't carry on your stats to them. Another bad thing about the extra levels the difficulty isn't stackable. So if you beat it on hard you still have to go back and beat it on easy for the achievement. I think they should have connected the extra levels and spaced out this short game. I beat the game on medium in 8 hours 55 minutes not including the extra levels and I died a lot, so I'm sure I could beat this in 5 hours or less on an easier difficulty.
With all the negatives said, this game is still a great buy. I love the metal case and the collectors card it comes with is also pretty cool. I got the Darth Maul card. I'm hoping to get a Platinum Trophy on this game but the achievements are pretty hard. I hope my review answered some of your questions. If you don't already have Force Unleashed and looking to buy it, buy this one!

Much better than the original by Bradley S. Mattice (AZ, USA) 4 Stars
November 08, 2009
I originally purchased The Force Unleashed shortly after its initial release, and was rather disappointed with it. The story was alright, but there were several crippling glitches and gameplay issues with the game that tarnished the overall experience. I later sold it on eBay.
One year later, I heard about the Ultimate Sith Edition and figured I'd give it a shot. A much better experience. I didn't encounter any of the glitches that were in the original version, the gameplay was more polished, and the addition of Trophies was a bonus. I would give the game an A overall.
The DLC is somewhat disappointing. There are three packs, the Tatooine and Jedi Temple packs (previously released) and a new, exclusive Hoth level.
The problem with all three packs is that they're too short to be meaningful. 35 minutes for the Temple, 25 for Tatooine, and 20 for Hoth. And, unfortunately, the gameplay issues that plagued the original release of the game returned. This is why the entire game gets only 4 stars.
But don't let subpar DLC prevent you from purchasing this game. It's worth the 40 dollars by itself, and the steel case is a nice addition.
