Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II
© 2010 LucasArts
This sequel to “StarWars: The Force Unleashed” (2008) is a "hurriedly thought out excuse for you to plow through a bunch of Storm Troopers" according to Chris, our intern tester. He reported "if you wanted to, you could skip all the cut scenes and really not miss anything. And this is coming from someone who tends to like cut scenes." Even if a game is lacking a compelling story, it can still be fun. There?s something cathartic about slashing your way through wave after wave of essentially defenseless enemies. Aside from learning a few new attacks here and there things can get old. The bottom line? This edition isn't as good as its predecessor. While this game had its moments and might be worth a borrow, it's hard to justify the investment.
