Initiation
After watching the first part (The Force Unleashed: Sith Edition) have played with enthusiasm, I was very impressed by the fusion of action and story with exciting cutscenes in Star Wars universe. As "The Force Unleashed 2" was announced, I have eagerly awaited the appearance of this article. In my review I'm going to a different aspect of the game, also comparing to the predecessor.
Story and game world (without spoilers)
Central it comes out whether you are a clone. On the way to find the answer you will encounter exciting boss fights. Including mini-bosses are defeated the playable with a kind cutscene (already known from the predecessor). The staging of the scenes is well done and the battles are fun. I especially like the back just to be done "Stormtrooper", where you can leave on your mood. If you choose a challenging difficulty, it is hard to imagine such moments since stormtroopers are only part of the army of "Lord Vader". Opponents are colorful genmischt, from simple stormtroopers to large Druids, TIE fighters and opponents with "immunities" to power, or lightsaber attacks. But this turn too often again. The playing time for the story is about 9h. And I have to go far to explore the game world (Search Holocrons) and am many times died, due to the demanding chosen for me difficulty (Hard). Generally one can choose where ULTIMATE represents a particular challenge between "light", "medium", "heavy" and "Ultimate". In "Easy" can hardly die and leave as you wish to opponents, pure fun. In general, the game world fits well into the famous Star Wars universe.
Graphics and Technology
The graphics engine is the same of its predecessor, but slightly improved. In general, the graphic one as well to steps. With a resolution of 1920x1070, with all settings at the highest. The problem is the representation of picture elements in the menu. Some picture elements appear vermatscht (drawn simply larger on the high resolution), because the default setting is 1280x720. Next is a negative impression that the game is during my play time 5 times crashed. The game was to end only through the Task Manager.
Multiplayer
The game features a series of tests which both offline and online can be disputed. The only thing that happened, however, online, is the transfer of times at a Ubisoft ranking, for a Ubisoft account is necessary. Thus, unfortunately, there is no way to compete with other people online, except by a ranking of who, how fast, what testing has mastered. A multiplayer in the classical sense does not exist.
Conclusion
Short, action-packed Star Wars extravaganza with a weak story. Insufficient Entertainment, for too much money.
