The DS version maps the different combat functions to the touchscreen, allowing players to drag the stylus across multiple moves in order to create more powerful combination attacks. The game also features two mini-games that occur during the story campaign. "Feel the Force" has players dragging orbs into a vortex, which then causes huge feats to happen on screen. "Saber Lock" has players battling to keep their lightsaber perpendicular to their opponent's in order to gain the upper hand in boss fights. The game also features two multiplayer modes that let players fight against each other in arena combat.

The PlayStation 2 version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (developed by Krome Studios) is fundamentally different from the PS3/360 versions, featuring 2–3 extra levels, shorter and differently designed missions, and no advanced Euphoria ragdoll physics. It functions more like a traditional action-adventure game with a local versus mode, offering a more complete story but inferior graphics.

The Wii port for The Force Unleashed featured significantly different gameplay, in particular full motion control for the lightsaber.
