    With precious few of those quality gameplay moments and a plot that limps along in need of focus, unfortunately Force Unleashed 2 ultimately fails to live up to the interest of its broken but far more compelling predecessor.

    A good sequel with superior controls, some new features, a steady pace and a lot more action compared to the first game. With its short playing time of roughly five hours it fails to create as much atmosphere as The Force Unleashed 1 though and the PC-adaption suffers from a lot of technical issues, e.g. tearing, crashes, bugs and problems during setup. The gameplay itself will satisfy both Star Wars-Fans and those who enjoyed TFU1.

    The Action may be fun for a short time, but in total The Force Unleashed 2 disappoints with short playtime and a slow paced story that only gets interesting when the game ends.

    Let's hope that The Old Republic gets is right in the many, many places where The Force Unleashed II gets it wrong. [Feb 2011, p.104]

    I've never played a better Star Wars game than this, well.
    The Jedi Outcast 2 was pretty good too, but uh...
    You know it's just... Just... P

    El juego es una joya para los amantes del universo de Star Wars que deja en vergüenza a su primera entrega. El final te mantiene con una sonrisa de incredulidad por lo que estás viendo mientras sabes que si alguien pasa y te ve no entenderá tu cara de idiota, jaja. Lamentablemente, más allá de una tremenda historia (que se siente un poco corta en relación a la de la primera parte), gráficos excelentes y un insuperable uso de la cámara que te mantiene dentro de una película más que un de juego, es imperdonable que al hacer el port desde las consolas al PC hallan solucionado de mala manera los controles. Yo no pude lograr que funcionara con mouse y teclado, pero usando el control del Xbox la experiencia de juego fue gloriosa (pasando por alto que hay uno o dos menus de configuración que no son manejables con el control pad y deben se manejados con el mouse). De todo corazón quiero calificar este juego con un 10 pero el problema de los controles, y que más de un año después de haberlo lanzado no hallan sacado un parche, que lo solucione, me obliga a ponerle un 8 ya que es un problema grabe (si no tienes un control pad no puedes jugar).

  3. I don't see the point of having both games separately, as they are quite short; but what I will say is that the graphics are great, and this is complimented by a fun and entertaining gameplay. What I believe this game focuses on, is both the story and the graphics. While this game doesn't offer heaps of stuff to do, or a long outstretched game, it does give us a kind of cinematic feel to it. While some would argue that this is supposed to be a game, I would still l like to say that it does a great job of being a form of animation or 'interactive movie' where it is filled with amazing cutsceans, and our choices. Overall, while I don't think the price should be as high as it is; it has that amazing story feel to it, and star wars fans will be able to get a lot out of this game! Expand

    Graphics are awesome but everything else is weak. Lucasart completely abandoned the story aspect of this game and focused completely on game play. In short this game is boring, it's sad to say but I think Lucasart has losts it high standard and is going down the corperate highroad that EA went down. Expand
