In a similar vein to the Starkiller clone’s role, The Force Unleashed II is a shadow of its former self. The graceful gameplay offers a higher level of excitement, but the plot and characterization – two large components from which I expect great things from any Star Wars journey – makes this experience one of 2010’s biggest disappointments.
It's just too bad there isn't more to this sequel in general, really. Aside from some very basic throwaway challenge levels and costumes to unlock, there's not much to do beyond the six or eight hours the story lasts. It feels like the developers had the right idea about how to meaningfully improve on the work they did in the first game, but then they failed to really flesh out a robust game around the core mechanics.
That excitement has sadly been extinguished by a fairly insipid follow-up that does nothing to expand on and improve the original. It's not a bad game by a long stretch - just a game that's over in a flash and almost entirely devoid of any memorable moments.
