    The game was okay, but it wasn't that good. The game had bad graphics, boring action, an okay plot, and completely different controls from the first one. Still, the game was somewhat enjoyable for a little while. I would rent it before I bought it to see if you like it. A much better choice would be the first game in the series, or (if you already own the first one) Lego Star wars: The Complete Saga.… Expand

    The story addition was good, but was far too short. Other than that was quite similar to the previous game in terms of gameplay, except for better graphics (I would like to add here that I did not play the first one on an Xbox 360, which had far better graphics than the Wii version of the first game. That was my mistake while reviewing).

    Pretty interesting game, average graphics, nice story, interesting main character and an excellent multi player. A shame it doesn't have wi-fi connect.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Review of single player only:
    GRAPHICS- mostly good, nearly next gen at times 9/10 ADVENTURE- This game is short. Really short. Also, not to beat a dead horse, but this game moves jedi and the force further away from mystical warrior monk toward super powered choreographed sword havers. The premise is entirely shoe horned into SW continuity. 5/10 MECHANICS- The controls are very well mapped though seem slightly laggy. 8/10 EXTRA- The ending was crap. Vader losing the fight was total crap thrown in to make gamers feel cool, kind of like the ridiculous super hyper ELECTRIFIED force powers. The inexplicable disappearance of your clone from the Good ending (he kills you in the Bad ending) was crap. This game reeks of prequel mentality. 2/10 A solid rental game good for a single play through and possibly worth owning if you are completely blinded by the dark side. 6.66/10    … Expand

    I was having having an absolute blast when I started playing this game for Wii. I was breaking walls, chopping off limbs, and felt like a total badass. Then I got to the next level where I was breaking walls, chopping off limbs, and felt like a total badass. Then, in the level after that, I was breaking walls, chopping off limbs, and felt like a total badass. See what I am getting at here? REPITITION. Pretty much every level was the same. All the enviroments have walls that break the same way as the last. The enemies all die the same way. And because Starkiller is such a badass, the game is way too easy. Even Darth Frickin Vader is a total pushover. Its still worth a rent, though, and a ton of fun on the first playthrough.… Expand

    "Don't throw down $60 for this..."

    I won't, since Wii games are NEVER priced over $50. This game is great for the multi-player alone, I play it all the time with my friends. The single player isn't the longest ever, but it's plenty long for the amount of ass-kicking you get to do. Then it's back to the multi-player for bouts with your buddies.

    Dont throw down $60 for this, story is weak, gameplay is monotonous, length of game is like 5-7 hours, and the game only has a lot of life in multiplayer. I honestly don't have much to say about this besides you will most likely be disappointed.

    I will preface my review with this tidbit : I played the first SWTFU on the WII for about 30 minutes before dropping the controller and turning off the game because the game made me want to gouge out my eyeballs. It seemed to me that the first developer Krome simply down rezzed the textures and the poly-count. So with trepidation, I played sequel on the Wii this time, made by the folks at Red Fly. I was surprised at what they managed to get the WII to do graphics wise, because it looks great. Attacking with the A button, WIN. It feels completely natural to run around striking down enemies and unleashing a devastating combo with the flick of my wrist. I sorta play it like I was playing Ninja Gaiden, dash, attack, force push, dash, block, attack, unleash combo and watch the scattered body parts fall on the floor. Yes, you slice through stormtroopers and torsos and arms litter the floor. Like they should.

    In other words, Red Fly took this game and made it their own instead of doing a cheap port. They made a fun, engaging game that people should pick up even if the first game left them with a bad taste in their mouths.    … Collapse

    Way, way better than the first game for Wii. Compared to that game, this one deserves like, a twelve. This one has no waggle-to-attack (thank goodness) and Starkiller holds his lightsabers backwards, like he is supposed to! Combat is way faster, should make twitch gamers happy. Controls really tailored to suit the Wii, this is so important, as you might imagine. Camera is better, I never felt like I was lost or couldn't see, and that happens to me in a lot of games, so. I know this is a Star Wars game, and you should expect this, but, man, the sound is sweet, too. Nothing quite so gratifying as hearing that lightsaber sizzle and crack again and again as you wail on some Imperials!! Makes you feel powerful.… Expand

    Very cool game! Hoping to play the multiplayer soon with friends. I think this game mode really kicks the Wii version over the top! I can fight as Vader or Boba Fett, how cool. I smell a party, who's bringing beer? The single player mode is very solid. I especially like the boss fights, though the entire single player revision is great!

    This is a definite improvement over the first game. Controls and camera have been completely overhauled giving you a non-stop, double lightsaber, stormtrooper slicing experience. Force powers and lightsaber attacks chain smoothly even when you are completely surrounded. Boss fights and cinematics are epic, just as any die hard Star Wars fan expects. Graphics and overall polish have also improved, leaving you with the sense the game was released exactly when LucasArts was ready. Finally, the multiplayer mode is so much fun it is almost like buying two games in one.… Expand

    A good solid game for the Wii. The game is action-packed and has a great pacing. The graphics can be hit or miss in spots, but overall are very nice looking, especially for a Wii game. The story is the typical generic but entertaining star Wars plot, and being able to mow through hordes of storm troopers makes it go by quick. That being said, this is a really fun game. The single player alone makes it worth playing, but the multiplayer definitely makes it well worth buying.… Expand

    Worth it for the multi-player alone but the single player is also incredible even for non-Star Wars fans! Graphics are borderline next-gen quality and among the best yet seen on a Wii. Game play is great and laser fast. Normal mode is a bit easy but makes you feel super powerful. For those looking for a real challenge turn up the difficulty a notch.

    The Force Unleashed II is a better sequel on the Nintendo's plattform than PS3/X360 versions. Great visuals, fluid combat and good playability.

    The developers of the Wii version have done a good job! Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II is a cool action adventure with a good balance of fighting, mini games, and dexterity.

    Short and boring, one of the worst Star Wars game ever made. The only interesting side is the multiplayer mode, but the fun won't last long.
