tl;dr Game short good, no pay full price, some pc don't run good. Pros: - The game is fun and has no filler (unless you want to unlock everything). - Force unleashed 1 & 2 don't hold anything back when it comes to the more aggressive (and cool) aspects of star wars and the force, they show the kind of thing I wish newer games would (it might be too much for some people, suspension of disbelief plz). - Starkiller is such an endearing character and allows himself to feel his emotions without the whole "A jedi must free himself from anger, etc." narrative, I could actually empathise with him. - Through the game you'll find some powers that are more enjoyable to your playstyle (they're all viable) and by the end game you'll have them maxxed out with little to no grinding. Cons: - The game is short, too short, easily could have been an expansion to its prequel. - Because of its age, length, and the probability that your PC won't run it properly or not at all, you shouldn't buy it at full price, always wait for a discount (it only crashed once for me). Overall Starkiller is such a good character and I wish his story continued, he's a jedi with sith training (opposite to Vader who's a sith with jedi training). Instead of shutting himself out he draws power from his emotions truly questioning what it means to be a jedi, a sith or something in between and away from both extremes, human.

Feels significantly better than the first. More diverse powers and abilities that are more smooth than the first. Story is a 6.5/10.

[H3] Some of the most unhinged George Lucas headcanon you’ll ever see in a game. [/H3] The Force Unleashed 2 feels like a fever dream. Like much of the Star Wars Extended Universe, it’s ridiculous, contradictory, tonally all over the place and loaded with some of the most bizarre ideas put to paper. And yet, since the decanonisation of the Extended Universe by Disney in 2014, I’ve really grown to miss some of this wackiness. With current Star Wars, all edge has been removed for the sake of artificially heartwarming narratives and cliché hero tales which feature little moral quandary. Characters in the current Disney-verse feel like lifeless plot devices with no emotional honesty, simply existing to either pull ‘gotcha’ moments on main characters or act like Robin Hood sidekicks. The Force Unleashed 2’s bizarre clone-theory plot, like everything described before it, is silly and introduces about five plotholes per cutscene, but at least it commits to being entertaining and unpredictable in all the ways that I love about George Lucas Star Wars. The Force Unleashed 2’s gameplay also prioritises fun. Movement feels considerably more responsive, and jumping between force powers and melee feels smoother and more organic this time around. Targeting objects using the force feels much more consistent, predictive and natural to use, meaning you’ll enter a flow state of chucking Stormtroopers off buildings and launching crates directly at enemies’ heads without questioning whether you’ve angled the camera correctly first. Level design is best described as a rollercaoster: a single, static path with various set pieces occurring on either side to dazzle or challenge you. It’s one long, giant corridor with nice set dressing, but at least it’s enjoyable to play and pretty to look at. The high quality rain and lighting, in particular, really sell every scene and asset quality is surprisingly detailed. The Force Unleashed 2 runs at 30fps at default, and object and character motion blur does smooth the process, but stutters between lightsabre hits – a stylistic choice – do negate some of this smoothness. Nevertheless, the game is a looker. The Force Unleashed 2 delivers nothing but high points, creating an incredibly curated yet short experience. A 100% longplay on YouTube barely reaches over three hours, and I’d feel particularly burned if I paid full price for this on release. As a Star Wars legacy product that is frequently discounted and thrown into bundle packs, it’s absolutely worth blasting through however. If you’re a fan of peak George Lucas BS, The Force Unleashed 2 is ready to provide.

Is this an amazing game? No. Is it good? Meh. Jury's still out on that one. Is it worth playing if you've enjoyed every Star Wars game you played? Yes. Absolutely, yes. It's a great story. The two endings differ from each other much more than the two endings for the first game. The gameplay is a little more fun than the first game and it's a little more varied. But if you still don't like it that much, it's only 8 hours long anyway so at least it'll be over quick. Sam Witwer is once again a stand out. This character feels like his Deadpool, but I don't think he can resurrect this IP even with all the Star Wars clout he's gained over the years. RIP Starkiller.

Haven't finished the game yet, but it runs just as well as it did on the Wii 14 years ago. the only issue I've ran into is that when you try to manually save you'll just be stuck doing that and it'll never finish, but as long as you wait to close the game after an auto save you'll be fine. Play this for nostalgia 10/10 Edit: finished the game and had no problems other than the one previously stated
