Welcome to Dane's Video Game Reviews. For my first review I'll be covering this week's newly released Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2. Let me know how you feel about my review, the game or anything related you'd like to talk about. Let's get started.
Trailer:
The Good: Following the many criticisms of the first game it would have to be said that the overall gameplay mechanics are much improved. All of the attacks and force powers are smooth and intuitive. The enemies have fairly good variety and none of the levels feel boring or repetitious. In many ways it's great in all the ways the first one sucked. What you do have of the storyline is great, but that leads me into what is wrong with the game.
The Bad: It's too short. Let me underline that for you, there is only roughly 3-4 levels in the entire game. And there's no multiplayer. The entire gaming experience is roughly 4-6 hours. I would not, under any conditions recommend anyone buy this game. Rent it if you want but don't drop $60 on this thing. The story barely gets underway before the credits start rolling and it ends on a cliff hanger. It really feels like they made half of the game then got bored and decided to release it. It really destroys what may have otherwise been a game of the year contender. If it wasn't for the obvious combat improvements this would feel more like an expansion pack than a feature title.
Rating: 2.5/5
