To summarise if you liked the first game then you'll love the second. Whilst the game is extremely short (having me finish it in a single sitting), quite repetitive in places and the mere eight challenges do little to add the much desired replay value, it's a blast whilst it lasts.

A brilliant engine to cause chaos on; Surprisingly engaging story; Beautiful and immersive world

Very short story mode; Shallow challenge mood; Repetitive enemies and combat

game was certainly not without its problems, but one of its standout features was a genuinely unique and interesting take on the familiar

With lightsabers in both hands, Kevin VanOrd uses the dark side of the Force for this video review.

Great cutscenes and voice acting give the story poignancy; Rich art design makes certain environments stand out; Dual sabers and Force powers can make for fun combat

Lacks enemy and environmental variety; Inconsistent level of difficulty; The final boss fight is too long and too easy

When it's not soiled by revisionist talk of midichlorians or a "chosen one," the Force is still the coolest thing in the universe. Really, who wouldn't want the powers of a god and an anything-slicing energy sword? Anyone?

+ Enhanced combat is the highlight of the game; new abilities add spark, + Some gaffes from last time (QTE abuse and confusing boss battles) are addressed

- Story lacks Star Wars grandeur; finale is fairly lame; short game, ? Can we get Starkiller in a TV series or movie?

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 By Justin R So have you ever wondered what life would be like if you were a Jedi and could wield that mystical power known as the Force? I know I have, as well as many others who have gone around waving their hands about pretending they are levitating a beer to their...

Improved Graphics; Powerful Force attacks; level up system

Voice acting ranges from whisper to yelling for no reason; terribly short story; repetitive

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II outs Darth Vader as a serial kidnapper. This time, the princess is Juno Eclipse, an Imperial she-wolf gone soft, and the love interest of Starkiller, the dark lord's secret Jedi apprentice.

In the original Star Wars trilogy, it was considered significant that Darth Vader could choke a man out telekinetically, or that Ben Kenobi was capable of short-lived mind control. It was a big deal when Luke levitated a starship or yanked his lightsaber across the room and into his hand.

2008's Star Wars: The Force Unleashed reportedly sold seven million units. So, it's no surprise its Vader's-secret-apprentice protagonist has--spoiler alert!--cheated death to return in a sequel.
