Krome version was much better than the LucasArts game back in the day, in my opinion. Force grab/push was much more fun.

I found this game quite fun on the Wii, as a kid; one of the few games that wasn't utterly unplayable due to borked motion controls.
I just hope this is playable with a Pro Controller, now.

I actually picked up the 360 version today. Whole £1 it was. That said I do actually like at least the first one. Gets a bit repetitive and is no dark forces/jedi knight but the rest of it is fun.

For real, does anyone know if this is playable WITHOUT motion controls ?

Yes.

Does it have a Werehog?

Dumb story, but good game minus the Dragon's Layer moments. Not sure why they didn't go with the 360 port instead.

Krome is the name of the studio that made the PS2/Wii/PSP version of the game, which is a completely different game than the PS3/X360/PC version.

And more old shit ported to the switch.

Imported from PS3. If Nintendo Switch was released at the same time as PS3 instead and against PS3 then it would be very popular. SKIP!

This was my favorite Wii game and I'm glad they used this version for the Switch. They could have used higher textures but they want quick money so I'm not really surprised.
I hope this runs nice on yuzu on the Steam Deck. If so, I can enjoy literally every available version on it once I get it.

So this is the weak / crap version of the game compared to what it was on the ps3/360... No thanks not wasting cash on this

That is really the awful version with uneven design, crappy force physics, broken 60FPS on PC and clunky controls.

Krome's is the version you want to play all the way. It has the best force gameplay of any Star Wars game so far and it is a joy to play. It has "worse" graphics, but far better design.

And of course it has motion controls, which is what you want, in order to translate those to the Joycons. Which is probably the only selling point of the game in 2022.
