In Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, Starkiller returns with over the top force powers and embarks on a journey to discover his own identity and to reunite with his one true love, Juno Eclipse. Starkiller is once again the pawn of Darth Vader, but instead of training his protegee as a ruthless assassin, the dark lord is attempting to clone his former apprentice in an attempt to create the Ultimate Sith Warrior.

In the end Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II is a straightforward linear game. While it really does not bring anything new to the gaming experience…. It is a very good chapter into this franchise that will please many a fan and gamer alike. We can only hope for another chapter, maybe a bit longer than this game that was finished in an evening of play. There has to be more to this adventure, to the story of Starkiller, as to if LucasArts see’s fit to do another one…well we can only wait and see.

Technisch macht The Force Unleashed 2 einen sehr guten Eindruck. Die Grafik ist stimmig, kann aber nicht mit dem technischen Kaliber eines God of War 3 mithalten. Flüssige Animationen tun Ihr übrigens, dass The Force Unleashed auch im zweiten Teil das Auge nicht beleidigt.

Scenery is, of course, massive and massively impressive, and the possible repetitive nature has been broken up with some freefalling levels and the odd exploratory moment. Whether this will be enough to keep the game fresh over its lengthy running time is debatable, but LucasArts’ claims that The Force Unleashed II as their Empire Strikes Back doesn’t seem too wide of the mark

The Force Unleased II is a good game. However, I would be hesitant to call it a good Star Wars game. The original Force Unleashed did a good job building on Star Wars’ mythos in a way that was interesting but non-intrusive. It presented a simple story that featured plenty of thematic elements seen in both the original and prequel trilogy. However, the follow-up just doesn’t capture the original’s spirit, and that is what ultimately holds this title back from being something great. The action may have been amped up, the cameos may be even more surprising, but the clone-focused plotline just doesn’t do enough to live up to its predecessor’s legacy. Sure, the game is fun. But it could have been meaningful too.

The original Force Unleashed let players harness the power of the Force like never before, and that concept is still at the core of this sequel. In fact, so much of the first game is intact in Force Unleashed II that it hardly feels like you’re playing a new game. Combat feels tighter, but most of the so-called improvements don’t change anything, from the dual lightsabers (which are just cosmetic) to the Mind Trick power (the only new addition to your Force repertoire). Even though the gameplay hasn’t evolved much, I won’t complain about having an excuse to obliterate hundreds of Imperials; I had a blast impaling, electrocuting, and throwing my opposition. The Force powers alone are reason enough for Star Wars fans to give this game a chance – just be warned that the plot holding the action together is awful.

El Poder de la Fuerza II” tiene comienzo en Kamino, el planeta de los clonadores que vimos por primera vez en la segunda entrega de la trilogÃa moderna, donde volvemos a ponernos en la piel del joven Starkiller. En esta ocasión, parece ser que somos un clon desorientado, de nuevo a las órdenes de Darth Vader, pero sólo hasta que nos damos cuenta de que acabamos de fallar una prueba de obediencia y Vader nos pretende ejecutar. En ese mismo instante conseguimos escapar y comienza la aventura.

Starkiller can take on anything and everything with ease on the Normal difficultly, with most enemies serving little purpose other than to go sprawling from endless waves of Force push. I understand the need to empower the player, and yes, I certainly felt empowered, but the lack of skill made me less like a Jedi Master and more like wandering, overpowered monster.

Once your overall adventure is complete in SWFU2 (after about four hours), you’re left to either play the game again in an alternate costume on a higher difficulty or to try out the Challenge mode — which doesn’t add more than another half an hour. There really isn’t anything worth going back for; this is a game that looks pretty damn good, plays OK, but ultimately isn’t that much fun. If it didn’t have the Star Wars license attached to it, people wouldn’t give this sub-par sequel a second thought.

To cap it all off the final battle against Darth Vader is a lesson in repetition that fails to linger long in the memory. For some reason LucasArts has weakened the characters of Starkiller with brattish dialogue that ruins any reputation he had from the original. Once again there’s a choice to make at the end, but the events of the game fail to make this a noteworthy decision; the biggest issue is the fact that it probably sets things up for The Force Unleashed III.
