The force is strong with Starkiller, but that might just be the only thing strong in this entry...
After playing the first entry in the force unleashed series I had a pretty good feeling about it, it was new and fresh with it's over the top force powers, although the game was short it was still pure fun.
So when it came to TFU 2 I was really hyped about the game, when I saw the footage from E3 and got to play the demo I really enjoyed it, the action seemed over the top and finally we where able to find out what had happened to starkiller in a epic SW story.
Too bad nothing lived up to the hype...
Yes ofc the combat is still over the top and lightsaber combat is awesome now that u dual wield them, but the light sabers are probably the only thing I liked about this game. The combat is way too easy max out lightsaber and saberthrow and u got all u need to beat the game.
And yea it takes 5-6 hours to beat this game, and that is just a shame as the game manage to end when the story feels like it's just about to begin, im not saying the story is pointless up to the end, but it doesn't make u feel any wiser when the end credits role...
Ok so the combat is good, and the story is kinda weak, but the graphics in TFU2 is amazing from the rainy outdoors on Kamino to the narrow hallways on a Star destroyer u get a good wibe from ur surroundings and they are the only thing that helps this game feel like it's star wars.
Ok a little bit of a lie there, the music scores are also top notch in this game and they give u that epic star wars feeling too.
I had one really epic moment in this game, and that was when I fought the Gorog, not gonna say anything more about that though.
To sum things up...
Star wars TFU2 is a game with stunning visuals and a great soundtrack, the combat feels enhanced since the first entry in the series but it's still way to easy to just spam two buttons.
The story felt like it never got where it was supposed to and this left me clueless not completely but it feelt incomplete in a way.
The time spent to get through this game is a shame, if u thought TFU was short u will laugh at the time it takes to complete this one.
And a closer...
If u liked the first force unleashed u might want to get this game as a SW fan, it has some solid moments but it doesnt really cut it, for u who was disappointed in the first game this is not a buy, but if u like SW u should rent it, as the game time is so short u wont have to spend 10$ an hour to play it.
