Star Wars: Force UnleashedCameron Suey the producer of the new Star Wars: The Force Unleashed stated that, “Between the Xbox 360 and the PS3, if we’ve done our job right, they’ll be indistinguishable. We really wanted to make the same sort of polished, high-end next-gen experience on both those versions.”

He went on to explain that both versions will be void of the multiplayer feature because it would have distracted them from putting everything into the story line and all of the features needed for the single player mode.
