Product Description
The Star Wars Saga continues with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, the highly anticipated sequel to the fastest-selling Star Wars game ever created, which has sold more than seven million copies worldwide. In Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, the world was introduced to Darth Vader’s now fugitive apprentice, Starkiller—the unlikely hero who would ignite the flames of rebellion in a galaxy so desperately in need of a champion. In the sequel, Starkiller returns with over-the-top Force powers and embarks on a journey to discover his own identity and to reunite with his one true love, Juno Eclipse. In Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, Starkiller is once again the pawn of Darth Vader—but instead of training his protégée as a ruthless assassin, the dark lord is attempting to clone his former apprentice in an attempt to create the Ultimate Sith warrior. The chase is on – Starkiller is in pursuit of Juno and Darth Vader is hunting for Starkiller. With all-new devastating Force powers and the ability to dual-wield lightsabers, Starkiller cuts a swath through deadly new enemies across exciting worlds from the Star Wars films - all in his desperate search for answers to his past.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed Feelings, October 29, 2010
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II Platinum edition (Video Game)
I have read some of the other reviews listed and we all seem to have the same thing in common. We enjoy the gameplay, however the overall game falls severely short. I'm not going to go into everything I liked about the game, however I feel the need to list some of the shortcomings.

Maybe it's nitpicking, but none of the cinematics shown in the commercials or the original trailer are part of the game. It might not be huge, but that was what got me so excited to purchase the game in the first place. Apart from that, the game is cut severely short. I have seen reviews showing 7 - 9 hours of gameplay, however I work at night and take care of my newborn during the day. I get between 1 and 2 hours of "me time" to sit and enjoy my xbox. I started the game on Wednesday and finished on Thursday. At most, a good 4 hours. I was shocked that the game ended when it did, during the "final" battle, I actually thought it was the mid point and very disappointed when I realized it...Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars A big disappointment!, October 28, 2010
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II Platinum edition (Video Game)
I was very much looking forward to this game, being a fan of the first in the series, and a huge fan of the Star Wars saga in general.

As far as positives go, the gameplay is significantly improved. Controls seem more precise and the combat can be a lot of fun. Graphically the game is 100% better than the already attractive first installment, and one of the better looking games I've played on the 360. Sam Witwer again reprises the role of Starkiller and does a fantastic job, as do most of the voice actors (though many of them don't get a chance to do much.)

The bad is pretty much anything and everything else. This is one of the shortest games I have ever played, and I've played a lot of games. An experienced player could probably do this in about 4-6 hours, and anybody that's not very good still won't get 8 out of it. There are 4 (four, IV) levels. Let's take a moment here. This is a 60 dollar game with 4 (four, IV) levels in it. So, I'm not really going to...Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Where is the rest of the game!?, November 1, 2010

Ok... I have never reviewed a game before, but this one was SO EPICLY TERRIBLE... it has to be given 1 Star. Where the hell is the rest of the game? Just when I thought the game was going to fork in two directions (finish the game by going to the darkside or finish the game by sticking with the Jedi)... IT F'ING ENDS... done... finished... kaputt... OVER! Were talking in like 4 hours here. I set aside a whole weekend for this garbage. I beat it Friday night... Seriousy! Where is the rest of the game? I loved the first one so much I preordered this one. Totally disappointed. What a waste of sixty bucks...
