Star Wars for Wii a port of the PS2 version

Unfortunately, some companies have been remiss in their efforts to port games to the Wii. Because of the number of abysmal ports that have populated the Wii, gamers have, for the most part, conceded any hope of a great port on the system. According to Mark Combs, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for the Wii is a port of the PS2 version. Hopefully Star Wars on the Wii will restore some faith that ports on the system can be developed successfully.

"Well, the lead development has been done in Brisbane on the PS2, and that is the first point of call with all workings between Lucas Arts and Krome. So what we're doing here is taking the PS2 development, putting it on the Wii, and making all the Wii specific stuff here. So, lead point is PS2 in Brisbane, to make that clear." - Mark Combs (Producer of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed)

I couldn't agree more, it's a deal breaker.
PSP and PS2 content gets DUMPED to Wii.

I'm not judging Wii badly because of it's harder,
I just thought when I bought my Wii, I would be getting Original, solid innovative games like Nintendo Promised.

disturbing......=/.

its funny, they port it to the PS2, most likely people who have a PS2 who still dont have a Wii will get the PS2 version....and then they will complain : its not selling on the Wii.

screw this, the ports are getting sad....although it could be a good game its still a damn shame

Thats sad, that was more tolerable last gen, but even then the cube was more powerfull than the ps2.

I know the wii is nowhere near a 360 or ps3, but I think devs need to stop treating the wii like its super weak.

They'll understand that they're losing sales whenever they do this. Let's hope the kids don't ask their parents for this game next winter for the wii.
