Game Informer: Star Wars the Force Unleashed review....

According to Game Informer, Star Wars is "One of the biggest disappointments of the year" and gave it a 7.8 :(

Link of Sadness

saw this earlier, they praised the gameplay, but naturally, such a terribly written and developed story would deep impact a game set in the Star Wars universe far more than normal.

I always knew that the premise of cloning the protagonist from the first FE would backfire badly, it was truly such a foolish concept.

it could have had a great story and longer gameplay, but it looks like all they did was focus on tweaking the controls, menu, and some animations

▲ How can it be a dissapointment? From what I remember, the first game wasn't very good either. ▲

There was absolutely no way to do that well.

I agree with them the game is worse than the 1st one. I give the 1st one a solid 8, but the TFUL2 gets a 6.0 from me. The game has a horrible story, bad voice acting, 6 hour SP. The only good thing about the game is its gameplay, its much improved over the 1st one. If your a fan of the 1st game you will be very disappointed in its sequel. And by the looks of it a 3rd game in the series will be made... I only say that because the game ended in a horrible cliffhanger.

The story sounded stupid from the start so not surpise. They probably should have gotten a new character and maybe even a different time period instead of dragging out Starkiller.

I don't see why it is a disappointment when no one expected anything. At least I didn't, especially after the crappy demo:P

The first one sucked, why would the second be any better?

I still can't figure out why LA is wasting their time on this trash.

I'm with you on this. These Force Unleashed games are basically God of War in the Star Wars extended universe. They make the protagonist look like Randy Orton from the WWE, because they know that it will appeal to lots of console gamers :P. They make a button-mashing, hack and slash game that's about 10 steps back from the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series in terms of gameplay. Everything so over-the-top.. cheesy storylines.. Really sad that this is what we're getting from the "next-gen."

i was not hyped for this at all. i could not even finish the first one.

hacky-slashy-qte games ftl.

Those games never had deep melee combat. It boiled down to essentially spamming the attack buttons.

just make battlefront 3 goddamit!!!:x

I actually liked the story in the last game. It tied in nicely with the existing movies. At the very least it didnt detract from the experiance.

its STAR WARS ! obviously its gonna suck..Ratchet_Fan8

:cry:

Why have you gotta be mean, there's tons of good Star Wars games. GOTY quality infact.

i wouldn't call it a dissapointment, the first one wasn't very good so i wasn't expecting much from this one.

What a shame. I thought the first one would be good but it didn't reach my expectations. Looks like it's the same with this one.

Just drop it LA, and give me Republic Commando 2 already. :x

When it comes to star wars stories I tend to judge for myself. Since some fans overreact. Like the part when vader got mad when he found out his wife is dead. Proboly no wasint the right word to go with but everything came off fine to me.

After playing the demo, I felt underwhelmed. I was expecting a big leap (for some reason) over the last game. The gameplay feels about the same, and the story - like mentioned in the review - does seem rather absurd. Clones? Didn't they perfect mass cloning in episode 2? I don't get it. The only major improvement were some of the phyics effects and the graphics were really nice.iammason

Wellthe clones were just of a regular guy. He just was a great bounty hunter thats all. He didint have any powers.

I thought it was gonna get 8.5

Six hours? Dang. And people thought Vanquish and Enslaved were short.

I've still got high hopes for the old republic

Kotaku posted their review. It pretty much: gameplay improve, but story, level design, replay value, and voice acting aren't great, making it not worth getting.

At least you had actual control over your movements in the midst of an attack. I can't stand playing an action game where all of my movements are predetermined, and I can't change anything in mid-movement. That's what TFU games are like. It's very arcade-like. The melee combat in The Force Unleashed is a joke. It's just a bunch of button combos. I think that's a major step backwards.
