[Free with Prime Gaming Aug 17th]STAR WARS The Force Unleashed 2 - Review & Gameplay
0STAR WARS The-Force-Unleashed-2 thrusts players into action as they assume the role of a clone of Starkiller from the original game. This third-person action platformer retains the satisfying lightsaber combat and Force manipulation from its predecessor, yet falters in key storytelling aspects.
Guiding the haunted clone through a fight with the Empire on a quest to reunite with the love interest of the original Starkiller, players wield gratifyingly formidable lightsabers and Force abilities. Slicing through stormtroopers and directing the fights using your abilities is satisfying, though the narrative pales. The storyline lacks depth, struggling to elicit emotion, and the protagonist's personality remains stagnant.
Gameplay echoes its predecessor closely, with few innovations beyond a cosmetic dual lightsaber and a single new force power. While responsive controls enable fluid movement and combat, combo moves and force abilities are overpowered, diminishing the need for precision. The gameplay often veers into low-strategy button mashing. Boss fights become pattern-recognition trials and set pieces are not on par with the original.
Developed in nine months, the game's rushed nature is evident, particularly in its storytelling and content, which could have been condensed into DLC. At around 6 hours, the campaign's brevity disappoints, and replayability isn't enough to offset the abrupt ending. Enemy designs and environments suffer from heavy recycling, contributing to a sense of repetition.
Despite its flaws, The Force Unleashed 2 delivers a decent dose of adventure For Star Wars enthusiast. The game offers a solid experience, though it consistently falls short of its predecessor's level. Ironically, more often than not, it feels like a poor clone of the original.
Overall, I give this game 60%
