Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II Video Review

VanOrd was a tad awkward here, albeit credit is due for the effort.

Yeah... I'd probably still enjoy playing Republic Commando yet again, more than playing this one the first time, having played the original Force Unleashed. It was so captivating until I actually did so, then it soon became repetitive and the bland and lackluster of it all sank in quickly.

Judging from both titles' cinematics, I believe it's safe to say we'd all have preferred movies to games. Live action or even CGI, as at least a couple of cinematic trailers were jaw dropping in visuals, animation and sound. Could've been a helluva story too, had it more breathing room as a flick rather than this.

A wasted protagonist. I always was partial to him even before I played. Found it amusingly peculiar how I recognized his face from one thing alone, a limited tertiary character appearance in the first season of Dexter. The character he played there made it all the more curious to find him giving his face and voice to Starkiller. I think he did it well, in spite of things.

he is so annoying

wow the first two minutes were great,no wait thats the whole game

im shocked that he didnt talk about how it was really short

Wow this is great, I don't know why people gave it bad scores! Wow this is....oh......oh it's finished..... noh now I get it...

I just got the first one. I can't wait to get this one.

Good visuals, boring boss battles and too short story.

shameless lucasarts cashcow, the game was like an hour long and vastly inferior in both story and gameplay

The third one will be awsome

LOL sometimes I question gamespot reveiws

STAR WARS FOR LIFE

holy **** i had no idea this game scored low. i have it for 2 days and i love it.

Hey, look on the bright side. You can cut the heads off of stormtroopers.

Even though this game isn't as good as I wanted, I still want a third one because the force unleashed series is sort of the "Ultimate Force" kinda thing for star wars.

What happened here? Its been a long while since i saw a franchise go down the toilet thanks to a dodgy sequel!!! There brainstorming sessions must have been seriously dull...

Master is not pleased with this shameful review. Apprentice KevinV is getting force choked.

they need to have maelstrom...it was the best part of the wii version, but the other console versions didn't have it in number 1. if this had maelstrom, i would buy it in a flash

I really dont like being called "master" so many times. Anyway I liked the first one so im probably going to rent the second one.

Well do VanOrd, well done

It was fun messing around with troopers, like using force grip on them and dangling them around and they're all freaking out. Using the lightning combination with the light sabers was great too. The mind trick power got me some good laughs.

I like the game, I want more. I thought it was fun...

rented it, beat the game in less than five hours, when the game ended, was when i thought it was finally going to get good with me going to another planet or doing something out of the ordinary, maybe continuing on as starkiller to reign chaos or help the rebels. But no that was the end, the most half assed game i have ever played. a good expansion maybe but a full game, it actually took more away from the the first then added, new power is mind trick which you can only use on troopers who do nothing, never even used it. Only a few good moments in the game but those moments are very good.

rahmingw1 i totally agree with you..ok maybe the story is short but is awesome and the graphics is of the hook..in the end the game is cool and fun to play...

Disappointing game.

the ps3 version is way better then the Wii version so I don't know wtf this dude is talking about but this dude pissed me of for his lies this game is short I agree but it still makes you feel powerful so I am sick of bastards like this dude giving bad reviews on good games and for all you people reading this who have not played the wii version don't play it on the wii it is the worst version of the game so this dude giving the review can go screw his mom : ) peace

I felt embarrassed watching this.

The game is fantastic and totally worth a rent and the replay value is ridiculous.

QUESTION IS THERE MULTIPLAYER FOR STAR WARS FORCE UNLEASED 1?

No multiplayer???? i guess i will have to stick to battlefront and jedi academy 2

hang on a sec. he uses the DARK SIDE of the force? dont you become goood?

Kevin, must you schtick up your review with all the "master" talk?

Couldn't agree with Zevilon enough... I'm conflicted because if I buy the game i help its success and they dev's learn nothing, however if I don't buy it and it flops they wont make another one, whether they have the capacity to improve it or not... Either way, this is one Star Wars fan that has been bitterly disappointed with what they have served up this time around

First I would like to agree with sonicsidewinder. If we begin to accept games that only offer a few hours of gameplay then there will not be much to look forward to in future games other then giving $60 for junk. I am a huge Starwars fan and had been anticipating the release of this game since it was unveiled. It started with so much potential and slowly diminished as the game went on, the lack of variety, weak difficulty, length and environmental detail is what destroyed this game. In the first SWFU we traveled the galaxy, encountered all types of enemies, and most importantly destroyed lots of R2 units. It was like towards the end of the making of the game they got lazy and decided not to include any additional environmental items like droids and other objects. How many areas were pointless and completely empty? I suspect that this will be the last installment of the Force Unleashed series, with the loss of mastermind Haden Blackman, the executive producer and writer of the Force Unleashed, its clear that Lucas Arts no longer has the ability to create an in depth masterful Starwars game like the original SWFU.

I'm glad I can't hear this guy in this review from what I am reading he pissed off a lot of people, hey if you want to go and check out my review that I did on it I wrote one up about a week or 2 ago if any one is interested go and check it I think a few people liked it.

its way too short, which is the main problem. I just finished it on Hard in about 6 hours, and the lack of levels is disappointing. But at least Cato Nemoidia and Kamino look amazing. Here's hoping the inevitable third one will combine the graphics from this and the level variety from the first one.

it has many epic fighting parts, too bad they couldn't make it longer.the display is nicer.and i don't care much about the lack of variety because it depends on the story.so i give it a 7.5

who thought that was a funny idea...

star wars lego is better then this!

i just...cant get rid of this... gravy

Could not make it through this whole video review due to the constant, pointless iterations of "Master". I'm sure the judgment of the game is spot-on, but "Master"-this and "Master"-that was enough to make my ears bleed. Tips to Kevin: First, cut the cutesy stuff. Second, if you can't cut the cutesy stuff, adhere to the rule of "Less is more". It would have been a lot more tolerable if you dropped a couple "Master" utterances early in the review, then no more.

What a disgrace, and looking at the comments now, if people are willing to accept this trash as 'good' or 'great' then god help the games industry. I pity the fools who buy this.

I hated the last one so much, and this was a big disappointment for me. The story is nothing compared to the first, and it's very short, and the ending is bad. There are 3 locations, and one is under two miniutes long. Such a shame.

I've got to admit, The Force Unleashed II was a fun game, but it literally took me under 4 hours! Plus there's no online or any replay value at all and they actually expect me to pay $60 for a 4 hour game? This is why the game got a 6.5

where the hell is battlefront 3??

wtf this game is amazing. GaySpot.com

cant wait till they make starwars the force unleashed 3 :)

this game is amzing..its not repetitive..the AI is great n its way better then the first. GS u stupid F*ks get ur reviews straight 4 once in ur miserable lives this game is great im playing it now on da ps3 its amazing n ther r so many ways 2 kill ur enemy non r way repetitive the grapples r fun the bosses r fun 2 kill no bugs wat so ever deserves an 8/10.
