Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II Review


Star Wars: The Force Unleashed two is a moderately long game. It has its ups, but so, so many downs. I will start with what's good about it. First off, I really enjoy the force powers that you learn; such as the mind control one that allows you to turn the enemy against each other. I also enjoy the environments. They are very colorful and large with lots of detail, but also kind of empty on some planets and missions. Another thing I enjoyed was the dual lightsabers with customizable colors and upgrades. They added a feeling of power and expertise. And now onto the bad parts of the game. First of all, when I first got it, it was very slow. There was nothing set that my computer couldn't handle but for some reason it was like watching a game slow motion. I had to mess with settings for hours before it worked almost "Magically." Another terrible thing about the game was the story. The story was completely awful. You are a clone of the original Starkiller that is still flawed. You are too be disposed of- until they get the clone they are looking for. You still have memories of Juno from the first game, and you are going completely crazy about it in the beginning. I personally hated the idea of being a clone that wasn't a clone trooper. You are to be killed, but instead you break out, and escape the planet that you are trapped on (Kamino). From there on the missions felt very pointless and rushed, with you just fighting lots of enemies and the occasional boss fight. The whole story that had a lot of potential was washed away with a very rushed, very confusing, very DULL story (if you can call it that). You are just killing lots of enemies and throwing stuff with the force until the final boss. The ending was by far the worst ending I have ever seen in video game history. It was complete crap. In this section I will not spoil it. Scroll down for the ending.



SPOILER ALERT: Game Ending

The ending for Star Wars: The force Unleashed II went a bit like this, You're fighting Darth Vader after stumbling into a very large cloning chamber that is trying to re-create Starkiller... but one that will do Vaders bidding. You don't like this (?) and begin fighting him. After you finish the fight with mentally retarded clones and Darth Vader, you are about to kill him, and save the galaxy all sorts of trouble, when the blind old man Rahm Kota runs in there and yells "No! We can take him prisoner!" Your character disagrees, but they don't go into an argument. The game ends with a wonderful staring contest between Starkiller and Rahm Kota. Then the credits roll.
 
 
Synopsis
All in all, I thought the game was very, very bad. The story was barely developed, the settings are bugged, it got repetitive, and it had the worst ending ever. Ever. I will rate this game 2/10. It had its good gameplay customization and okay fighting, but overall, the game just sucked. I got it for $5, and it wasn't even worth it. If you get this game, get it for $1. That's about all its worth.
