The levels themselves are beautiful and immediately capture the same sense of grandeur and scale that Star Wars has done so well with the environments in the films, but the stages quickly feel redundant. 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. 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. The story has an acceptable premise (cloning and what have you isn't out of line with Star Wars canon), but it's underdeveloped. Your mission? To seek out and find Juno Eclipse, your lost love interest and ship's pilot from the first Force Unleashed. 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. TFU2 places you once again in control of Starkiller, Darth Vader's secret apprentice who died at the end of the first game. 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. 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. 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. 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.
Sadly though, its pretty face can only carry it so far when the rest of the game is comparatively weak. It's strikingly beautiful, with fantastic vistas and superb character animations. The chase is on - Starkiller is in pursuit of Juno and Darth Vader is hunting for Starkiller. With all-new devastating Force powers and the ability to dual-wield lightsabers, Starkiller cuts a swath through deadly new enemies across exciting worlds from the Star Wars films - all in his desperate search for answers to his past.Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 is immediately engaging. In Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, Starkiller is once again the pawn of Darth Vader-but instead of training his protégée as a ruthless assassin, the dark lord is attempting to clone his former apprentice in an attempt to create the Ultimate Sith warrior. In Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, the world was introduced to Darth Vader's now fugitive apprentice, Starkiller-the unlikely hero who would ignite the flames of rebellion in a galaxy so desperately in need of a champion. In the sequel, 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. The Star Wars Saga continues with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, the highly anticipated sequel to the fastest-selling Star Wars game ever created, which has sold more than seven million copies worldwide.
