The Force Unleashed 2 should honestly have never been made. There is very little content and even less creativity to speak of, the gameplay problems from the first game have not been properly solved, and the story is a blemish on the Star Wars franchise.

When gamers first popped in their copies of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed , they expected to see plenty of destruction as delivered by cranked-up versions of Force powers, and that's exactly what they got.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II contains some flashes of brilliance, but ultimately squanders the franchise's fantastic potential, writes Tom Hoggins.

The Force Unleashed II is a big disappointment as far as sequels go, and the game doesn't really live up to any of the promises that were made in terms of plot or content. We were told that Starkiller's return would be justified, explained and interesting, but it's none of those things and the...

Dual lightsabers, disposable stormtroopers and an ominous overture: welcome to The Force Unleashed II or, the return of Starkiller, Calvin Klein jaw and shorn hair intact. While the developers do their best to justify the existence of this sequel, the narrative never ascends to the heights of its...

It's a sad truth that most of the best Star Wars based games that have come out over the years have been PC exclusives. Classics like X-Wing and TIE Fighter, as well as the brilliant Jedi Knight series, these are games which deserve to carry the Star Wars name, but console gamers have had to miss...

Force powers are impactful and impressive; Physics engine brings the world to life; Excellent soundtrack and voice work

Shallow story fails to live up to the standard set by the first Force Unleashed title; Some really frustrating control issues & inconsistent targeting system

I'm going to come swinging right out the gate here and say I wasn't much impressed with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II. It's repetitive, the combat is frustrating and unresponsive, production values are all over the place, and it's a very short experience.

There's no denying the hype or anticipation surrounding the release of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II. After the bastardised lovechild of Lucas and the Devil reared its ugly head and manifested in the bile known as the Star Wars prequels, it was hard to keep the faith.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed provided an interesting twist to the endless collection of games based on LucasFilm's movie saga. The game introduced us to an array of completely new faces in the Star Wars universe, in addition to Starkiller, a very interesting character, capable of wielding some...

Great visuals; great voice acting and cool (very familiar) Star Wars soundtrack; tossing enemies and objects around is still fun

Unacceptably short campaign; little to entangle players beyond the usual destructive and overpowering abilities of the main character; weak story and characters

Very good follow up game to the first. Combat in this game is just so cool. Using the force to destroy everything is so badass! Definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys star wars.
