One of my Christmas gifts this year was the brand new Force Unleashed II for the PS3. As a child that grew up in the Star Wars era this game is right up my alley. The first game was great (I had the good ending for the first one) and I am disappointed to say the second one is not. Let me explain before the hate mail starts. I am almost through the game so its not liked I picked it up for 10 minutes and thought more of the same. The story is not as good as the first one and I am not ruining anything for you by telling you the cameos by Yoda and Boba Fett are just that... cameos. As a matter of fact the Yoda subplot actually feels tacked on. The gameplay is the same so its mostly pick and play. The new force rage is very much like God of War. The double jump dash is a bit annoying you will find yourself really having to concentrate to make a few crucial jumps. The violence is minimal and if the kids watch the cartoon they can handle this. One thing that is funny at first but quickly becomes annoying is the chatter among the stormtroopers. The funniest one is at the beginning on Kamino when they talk about learning to swim. The boss battles are either easy or hard you will find the board with the casino fun to "explore". If you want more information on the boss battles shoot me a message I will help where I can.
Grade - C - Sorry George Lucas
Update: I finished this game last week and let's just say the end does not save this game. My only suggestion is when it comes to choices you may want to go toward the light and use You Tube for the other.
