This game was not needed at all xD I mean, they could have made a Force Unleashed 2, but done it in a totally different time period, and leave it at "Starkiller died". Then you could do some sort of Story Arch in which a series of extremely powerful jedi crop up throughout time, but have no specific orientation to light or dark.
But, that would involve a LOT of redesigning... Ah well, that's just what I think.
More OT, Yahtzee seems to spend too much time talking about the nonessentials than actually commenting on the gameplay. But hell, he's entertainment before a serious reviewer, so who cares?

I think "First post" obsession is a a really annoying form of ADD. It reminds me of the greater idiots of the original PP fanbase, you them people that clearly need to be sent to some institute.A Curious Fellow said:
Bear in mind normal people aren't interested in the views of somebody that haven't even saw the full episode yet and that if the first posts are pretty braindead the rest of the discussion/thread might suffer from that. (Also everybody needs to read past them)
OT: I don't get it why i see a commercial in which Darth Vader's is getting his hiney kicked. What's up with that? In the era of Darth Vader, Vader was the strongest former Jedi/Sith lord around (aside from the Emperor ofc)
Lucas is really on a quest to rape his own franchise/fanbase.
Agreed, but it seems to be the general policy to just put anyone who posts before the video could possibly be watched on probation regardless...A Curious Fellow said:
Well I still like star wars..... I mean the three original movies. They are awesome. Phantom menace on the other hand was a boring piece of shit(well the darth Maul battlescene was kinda cool and it had awesome music in it. Darth Maul's role was too small in the movies). Clone wars was kinda entertaining because it had Ewan McGregor and Samuel L. Jackson. The thirt one was absolute garbage( I mean an emo kid kills Samuel L. Jackson= WTF????). And the games...KOTOR is one of the best games ever but otherwise they aren't really that good.
Im sad that my brother is one of those idiots who buys the Force Unleashed 2 and Turok and thinks they're the greatest games in existence 
in the meantime, im going to spend my hard-earned money on good games like Just Cause 2 and Red Dead Redemption
EDIT: He also thinks the prequels are FAR superior to the originals. yeah, i don't know how i'm related to him :/

I am a huge Star Wars nut and watch the clone war series but i do agree with this review...Too fucking short. Come on its Star destroyer he had a great story in the book. It's star destroyer Where the hell is Starfighter and Starhealer If they do make a third one do it right already.
Lucas arts are so lazy with their games. I used to be a big Star Wars fan, but in recent days the only thing I like about Star Wars is the original unaltered versions of the original trilogy. Yes I even like Return of the Jedi because let's just say that it's the best ending to Star Wars we will ever get.
I thought The Force Unleashed was a completely rubbish game, so I knew this wouldn't be good anyway. I played a few other Star Wars games and I am sorry but I don't really like Jedi Knight 2 or Battlefront. I liked Lego Star Wars, but that got old. The only other Star Wars related thing that I would try would be Knights of the Old Republic.
George Lucas needs to let this once great franchise die. Look at Bungie, they recently ended the Halo series after 10 years, wait, yeah Microsoft will properly go George Lucas on that as well.
(Don't get me started on 3D Star Wars)
Great review yahtzee.

I'm glad i picked Dead Rising 2 when i was presented a choice between that game and this rubbish.
I think Yahtzee is being a bit harsh on the franchise, there is some good stuff in the extended universe (such as the books) and there is a wider range of good games than he gave credit for.
As for Force Unleashed II I haven't played much so far but I've enjoyed it, its not anything special but I find running around with overpowered force abilities that help me easily dispatch hordes of much weaker enemies to be very satisfying.

I bet get my AC ready and open the window. I know the wildfires are gonna be heading my way for this one...
I'm gonna risk sounding like a complete jackass that has no idea what Star Wars is really about and say that I actually enjoyed FU2 (damn... that's one hell of a literary stretch now that I think about it). I liked the fact that I could just go absolutely insane with the force in a way that I could only dream of back when I played KotOR almost religiously: telekinesis, Force Storm that's actually worth something, and I always enjoyed the saber throw. With the exception of almost all enemies attacking you like a bunch of flies encased in frozen strawberry jam, I enjoyed the combat quite a bit.
Sure, the story needed some serious work [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Understatement] after analyzing it a few times. Instead of having Galen go on an obsessive hunt for Juno, I think it should've been him trying to overthrow the Empire one-handedly. Better yet, not have either story set during the Rise of the Empire, especially since that's one reason (so I've researched) why everyone hates Galen so much. That, and he's canonically the most powerful Jedi yet - c'mon, who else can fucking fly? Awesome as it is, it does seem out of place in the Star Wars mythos, especially during the Rise of the Empire where Vader was second in power only to the Emperor himself (I think).
I could go on about the various discrepancies, but since I'm sure most of you haven't read past "I actually enjoyed FU2" and thus thoroughly believe I'm mentally retarded or was dropped on my head several times as a small child, I'm gonna stop here before I start rambling about other supposed sacrilege such as, say, how I think Galen is a far more dynamic character than most people give him credit.
Right. It's nice and comfortable in my room right now. Better get that AC on "Arctic" if I want it to stay that way after what I said above.

They have dragged the series out long enough time to call it a day and make more Lord of the rings games....
Maybe one of you is adopted... :OAzaraxzealot said:Im sad that my brother is one of those idiots who buys the Force Unleashed 2 and Turok and thinks they're the greatest games in existence

I can't really care about this anymore, yes it's kind of harsh, but it happens every week people should know by now plus a agree that they should be commenting yet. Although I'm wondering why they don't just wait to post the topic thread.Cain_Zeros said:

On topic, I didn't mind the first Force Unleashed. Probably because I picked it up for six bucks.
