Beautiful Graphics and animation don't make up for boring game play and a lackluster story.

The Force Unleashed 2 was one game I was looking forward to playing but I realized after playing the demo I might want to keep my recipe handy. I was right on the mark. I won't spoil anything so I'll try not revile the surprises but the story is Starkiller looking for Juno Eclipse. Not as good of a story as the first game though and the first game wasn't good to begin with. Now I'll break it down for you.

Gameplay - Boring. Plain and simple. Your are overpowered and levels become repetitive though the artists did a great job on the level looks. Liked the fact sabers hack people apart rather than act like a club or bat. Enemies and Bosses are too easy especially the ones that count. They did fix up the targeting better which was good.

Appearance - Great. Nice graphics and great visual animations.

Sound - Good. Just like the movies.

Story - No Dice. Not good. Very stale to the point where even this short campaign didn't seem short enough. This 5 to 6 hour campaign isn't worth 60 dollars plus tax.

Overall this was a huge step backward for the Force Unleashed series. I would be surprised if a third on comes out but then again its Lucas Arts, they're used to the "beating a dead horse routine".
