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 movies — all in his desperate search for answers to his past.

With precious few of those quality gameplay moments and a plot that limps along in need of focus, unfortunately Force Unleashed 2 ultimately fails to live up to the interest of its broken but far more compelling predecessor. With a running time of around five hours on normal difficulty and a dearth of additional content, you might want to think long and hard about whether you're due for another dalliance with the dark side. Best Game Moment: Unleashing a top-level force lightning onto a group of foes Star Wars: Force Unleashed 2 is the opposite of broken.

This Force-powered sequel is a better port than its predecessor, but it never jumps to lightspeed. The Good - Great cutscenes and voice acting give the story poignancy - Rich art design makes certain environments stand out - Dual sabers and Force powers can make for fun combat. The Bad - Lacks enemy and environmental variety - Inconsistent level of difficulty - The final boss fight is too long and too easy - Glitches disturb both the gameplay and the storytelling. The PC version of the original Star Wars: The Force Unleashed took a fine game and turned it into a technical mess.
