Zero Punctuation: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

[Sniper Team 4]

(Sigh) I'm sure I will be added to his list of people who he mocks and have no idea what they're talking about, but I love the books. Well, the ones that take place after Return of the Jedi anyway (that makes me a fan boy, doesn't it?). Invincible, the one he showed at the beginning, was one of my favorite ones of this "new generation."

This review was still hilarious though. Thank you for clearing up how someone who DIED at the end of the first game is suddenly alive and well. I was baffled by that, and since I refuse to play these games--or take two seconds to look it up on the internet--that bit of info was appreciated. Kind of shows how bad the writing can be in the Star Wars universe.

I kind of enjoyed the first, mostly for the utter insanity of it (and the fact that force lightning is pretty much the games "oh fuck this" button).

I'm not surprised about this, he absolutly tore the first one into an unrecognizable pile of gorey chunks so the fact that he did the same again is par for the course.


I'd like to know what console he played it on. Did he play it the Wii againg for the sake of consistancy or on 360 or PS3 in another of his ever so subtle attempts to tell the Wii to go fuck it self?

I'd think he would've learned his lesson from buying games for the Wii instead of PS3.

SAMURAI JACK IS THE BEST CARTOON MADE EVER!

I have to disagree. Batman: The Animated Series was the best cartoon ever made.

OT: Why did you even subject yourself to this torture Yahtzee? I mean seriously, if you hated the first, it is a proven fact in the Star Wars universe that whatever comes after will only be a bucket of twice digested dog crap with fanboy packaging. Yes, I'm talking about the second "trilogy" that I wasted money on seeing. (I'm still mad at Lucas for that)

I don't know what games that have come out, but I played the demo for this, and I wish I'd have warned you to stay away from it. In the end though, I laughed anyways so your pain is my humor.

I'm kind of surprised batman and darth vader haven't fought yet. They are both over hyped and boring.

George Lucas vomiting through a pen

LOL, that's a good one. I would like to add my vomit to it as well. I got the first one, but not the second one. After playing the demo for the second one, I was thinking it couldn't fool me again.

 

[Yog Sothoth]

I see all these people wishing for another Battlefront, or TIE Fighter, or Dark Forces/Jedi Academy at the least... Why won't LucasArts listen? Why do they keep churning out this rubbish? Couldn't we at least have a two player lightsaber duel mode if we have to tolerate this tripe?

 

[Moosh50]

Sounds like Yahtzee needs a new mic.

 

[BrownGaijin]

Addendum:

No one blooms that fast....unless its an anime.

Ah touché.

OT: Thank God I'm not the only one who didn't buy into the Attack of the Clones "romance". Heck their offspring had more chemistry. Oh yeah spoiler alert their twins end up kissing in episode four and five.

I thought the ads were awesome, but that was probably the only good thing about it. >_>

Force lightning is EVERYBODY's weakness?
That's....
*puts on sun glasses*
Shocking
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Lol nice one! The thing about this game is that it was totally Unnecessary. I couldn't care less for Starkiller (who looks like a real life actor but I can't put my finger on whom) or that silly plot to tie up the first and second trilogy... If you want to make a good Star Wars game release Star Wars Battlefront 3!!!!!! XD

 

[ZelosRaine]

Nice Demon's Souls reference (Watercress). However, had the game actually made you stop to think about your health, it might have been been better than the crap it obviously is.

 

[Slinker07]

If Yahtzee thinks chairs can't make good romance he should really watch this stop-motion animation:

Chairs are waaay better making love than star wars has ever been!

Okay I'll admit that was just funny. Good on ya.

Is it just me or did the mic/his voice sound a little off?

It did sound a bit...off at the start but then I stopped noticing it.

Well, I bought the first one, hated it for all the god damn bugs, and I'm certainly not buying this one, it completely fails to interest.

Maybe this isn't yahtzee's review...
Maybe the escapist has been killing yahtzee every time he fulfills a certain cycle of reviewing games to make sure he doesn't rise up against the escapist with his own criticizing abilities, THEN CLONES HIM AFTER KILLING HIM!
And each clone gets a glitchy voice at the beginning of each cycle, THIS EXPLAINS EVERY INCIDENT OF HIS VOICE SOUNDING ODD!

aNYWAY....
I got force unleashed for the wii, hated it.
Got it for the pc, hated it again.

The most fun I had on the wii game was the tutorial.

It's sad that this kind of game even makes money, this is why I hate fanboys. They will usually buy and love any crap they get out of some stupid loyalty to the franchise.
Why make good games for the normal public when fanboys will buy whatever sauce your'e crapping out?

We should always criticize every flaw in a game, always...
Only then will improvements be made and the flaw will cease to exist in future games.
If developers don't do a good job, they shouldn't get money from us.

The audio in the last 2 episodes sounded a tad deaf, not just this one. But especially this one.
I stopped playing Star wads games back in the TIE fighter days. And I've never regretted that decision.

Until the Sun goes cold fools will part with money for things that are way past their sell by date. Star Wars is one of those things. I enjoyed the three movies. I enjoyed Battlefront II, I did not enjoy KOTOR, the first planet was mind numbingly dull. I also enjoyed Zahn's first three Star Wars novels. That is the sum extent of what I like about this particular flogged horse. FU2 is not on my Christmas list. In fact, after this savaging I'm inclined to wish for George Lucas to lose both his hands and his tongue in a freak accident.

hahahaha ... FU2. Think Lucas did that on purpose?

 

[Flauros]

Well, ive played the demo and its EXACTLY the first game, thought that was weird. The same robot again? why?

Need to ask me for consultation, would take like 5 seconds to think of more things to do in the game.....

it is fun flipping out and throwing stuff and enemies......how many times do you have to do that though? From the sound of everyone else is making.......the entire game. So yeah, and another touchdown for you, yahtzee

Now do STAR TREK ONLINE! lol....
