Cloned memories and the great love
As Starkiller indeed had to leave the predecessor his life, it is a created by Vader clone, which we control. Later on even doubted whether it is actually a replica of Starkiller, or whether it is the original, only with brainwashing. This secret will be revealed probably in the next part. With our help, the hero escapes from the clutches of the Empire and then sets out to search for one's own self, which as Luke Skywalker will lead him to Yoda precisely later, and the great love: Juno Eclipse. On his way to come Starkiller gradually the memories and skills of yesteryear which propel him forward. Unfortunately, also knows Vader from Star Killers feelings to Juno and so he kidnapped and nutz them as bait to catch the ausgebüchsten Jedi again.
Originally conceived as a link between the new and old Star Wars movies story has no longer draft and further information can be, even to miss any exciting twists. Really relevant is really just the background story to the forming rebellion, is here too stingy on details. The result of so little material is a rather short playing time of about 4-5 hours, but it can be delayed somewhat by the higher difficulty levels.
All the same? Fast!
The developers were particularly dear to heave the forces of power to a new level and actually it feels like as if the attacks of Starkiller more power. Push, Flash and handle were taken over from its predecessor, however, are the new psychological tricks to the opponents may even drive them to suicide. In general it was a little changed on gameplay in a few parts. As before, Starkiller moved in linear levels and fights against hordes of stormtroopers, the larger lumps are destroyed with relatively simple Quick-Time Events. Initially, the Finisher look really cool and delight, but there is only one class per Move, so one has seen it but soon tired and it can endure rather unwillingly about. Much more fun because the mix of the impressive lightsaber attacks that can combine their power with the attacks. Garanitert spectacle! On the way from A to B it is again and again think of something to free up tracks the closed paths, which usually amounts to the inserting and activating energy sources for doors or moving platforms to the power grip. Many jump passages represent further obstacles, but who knows in the action-adventure sector somewhat, should therefore have no major problems. In addition, you can expect a gigantic arena Fight and as expected bombastic finale, as Star Wars: The Force Unleashed keeps ready two ends.
New additions include flight and fall deposits, where Starkiller oncoming objects dodge or she must destroy, also the one or the other passage is, in which one flees from an attacking spaceship. This adds variety and fun, especially the action-packed falls delight the eye. Moreover Starkiller fights immediately with two lightsabers, for you can find hidden crystals, not only change the color, but also have impact on your recovery or the power consumption.
Pretty slimmed
The Force Unleashed was still a journey from one planet to another interesting, so his successor plays mainly on space stations, which you can count on one hand. While this spread a really great atmosphere, but a little more variety would certainly not hurt. In addition to Boss Fights, which could conclude appropriate each chapter is lacking. As already indicated Starkiller travels between the mysterious host star Master Yoda, however, is only the short to to drive the story with movies ahead. Exactly that's probably the major weakness of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, there is simply not enough to discover and experience.
An optical delight
We spoke just now of the greatest weakness, we come to the biggest strength of the game: the graphics! The sequences just look fantastic and can no longer come out an amazed. But even during the game you much good stuff is on offer. Especially in the air deposit and the final battle with Vader, the potential of the game comes to light, as is the design of the normal level is not to be despised, moreover everything runs smoothly and without any stuttering. Fits true to the soundtrack, as one is just used by LucasArts. Only the German Synchro is, as so often is not necessarily a big hit, but not so bad that the game would be adversely affected.
Conclusion
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II continues consistently what was begun in the first part. Although the story is only as a transition to the next game, but scores the game with his super graphics and the new skills of Starkiller. Only in the short playing time everyone must ask themselves whether the price is worth it. As a fan of Star Wars but it is worthwhile in any case, Starkiller's second appearance to give a chance.
