Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2

[tiffanyhavitt]

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 is immediately engaging. It's strikingly beautiful, with fantastic vistas and superb character animations. Sadly though, its pretty face can only carry it so far when the rest of the game is comparatively weak. Repetitious combat and level designs, a shoe-horned in story, and a lack of depth to the experience overall keep this from being anything more than an adventure for the most hardcore of fans.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II Video Review
The core of the experience is the same as last time: it's the Force like you've never seen it before, with supercharged versions of the powers we've all seen in the films. The result? The experience goes from a typical hack 'n slash to a Force-embued beat 'em up where your character causes unbelievable amounts of destruction. Over the course of several levels you'll cut enemies to pieces (yes, there's dismemberment this time around), move vast objects with the power of the Force, and take on situations that would be impossible without your exaggerated Force abilities.

TFU2 places you once again in control of Starkiller, Darth Vader's secret apprentice who died at the end of the first game. According to Darth Vader you're a clone of the last game's hero, and after failing his tests you break out of captivity before he can kill you. Your mission? To seek out and find Juno Eclipse, your lost love interest and ship's pilot from the first Force Unleashed.

The story has an acceptable premise (cloning and what have you isn't out of line with Star Wars canon), but it's underdeveloped. In general just doesn't go anywhere, bumbling along to allow the reintroduction of hit characters from the first game for fan service and concluding just when it starts to become interesting. I don't want to spoil anything here, but suffice it to say the story is comparatively boring to other pieces of Star Wars fiction, and feels contrived for the sake of making another game, rather than filling in an important piece of Star Wars canon like the last title.

I play hard, and only took 6 hours to do so. Very short game, the lack of a story. (Spoiler **): We learned that he could be cloned, and nothing else. Yoda scenes in a very short, I thought he would become a larger part of the game. The last fight with Vader the best part.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 is a desperate cash grab. I can definitely tell you, everyone says the game can beat 4 hours of easy to play the first level.

This game is phenomenal! I do not know what to expect going, but the graphics are incredibly cinematic, it looks exactly like the movie and so far has not been a dull moment in the game. The controls are easy to collect and setup / interaction for each level is fun to explore and power. Highly recommended.
