The opinions "unleashed"

I think I have a few games in recent years saw, where the ghosts so much, as in "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2". Some few say it is an incredibly ingenious game, while the big players stem the game stomps into the ground and cursed the developer of how such a game only "Star Wars" can call. Although I the (probably) few count myself who have played through the game multiple times on different levels of difficulty and I really thought it was good, I'm going to rate the game as neutral and unbiased as possible:

About the story:
The first part ended with the death Starkiller, who sacrificed himself for the rebels and now Darth Vader has let on Kamino clone a breed which is the immense power of Starkiller par and again to serve the Dark Lord as executor. This clone has been warned by visions of the real Starkiller, but other plans and take further ado to escape. He sets out to search for Starkiller friends and his own destiny, that again is it attributable to the origin at the end ...

Well, admittedly, a film award would this act certainly not win. The story is pretty simple knit and so it is also said, there are (up to the end) no great twists or moments where the character would really put to the test. Nevertheless, I found the plot well. She was able to follow easily, without much prior knowledge to own over the first part. It is exactly the kind of story that fits easily into a action game like TFU 2. If you expect an epic storyline and fantastic emotions, which should rather take up a role-play, as it is better served. And let's face it, a better action not provide the sizes of the genre such as Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden. Einig God of War is an exception is, however, not every game can and wants to compete with God of War.

For graphics:
Graphically TFU 2 moves to the midfield of current possibilities. There are certainly games that offer better graphics and really get get the most out of the console, but TFU 2 looks at no time made badly. The graphics are a little different than in the first part, I find definitely better in this part. She seems much clearer and not as blurry as it was put, in Part 1 of the case. Unfortunately, the atmospheres are often dark, so you often could not exploit the full video enjoyment, which is actually a little sad, but the graphics of the game captures the atmosphere of the respective worlds fit, so you drift away from the shallow action through the world with relish can. And by the way, was this time a lot more attention to details, so the clothes of Starkiller clone on Kamino in continuous rain is eg wet and dries only slowly.

For sound:
Many have written in their reviews that the sound would be boring and the same was as ever taken. As I imagine it, the question: What would a Star Wars game without the typical Star Wars music? These nunmal include the imperial march or Darth Vader's theme, because by this music is a Star Wars only really a Star Wars. The only thing missing are original compositions for Starkiller or the other characters, but this is bearable when one is displaced from the legendary Star Wars music in the right mood. The sound is clear at all times, annoying noise I personally do not find konne while playing.

Gameplay:
For all fans of the first part, it would be gratifying to note that the control is mostly remained the same. Only slight and mostly positive changes have been made. So I find the control of power techniques (especially those of the power grip) now much more fluid than in Part 1, where it was partly very hakelig, when Starkiller wanted grab an object and throw to the opponents. The integration of a few more power techniques such as the famous Jedi mind trick or the energy field I find quite good. The power capabilities were also weakened slightly, so you can not destroy AT-ST with two more power flashes now, but this sense of absolute superiority to feel exchange to become a worthy opponent against is not the worst deal. At the same time the idea of ​​the two laser swords is very well done, as it therefore has the ability to use multiple bonuses simultaneously. That the bonuses is now paired with the colors of the sword, had indeed not really need to be, but does not interfere in size. If you do not like the color, you have to give up on the bonus. Vital for the game, the bonuses are anyway at all.
In addition, the lightsaber battle was finally an important place in the game donated. Although one can in Part 1 have to defeat all enemies only by the power, but it's finally fun to fight with a lightsaber. Where Starkiller sluggish in Part 1 and slow strokes has pointed out, that could not even be stopped, he rushes now with murderous speed of opponent to opponent and strikes you more than just a body part from.
The Quick-Time-Events ultimately have unfortunately not improved large. Still too easy, is still permanently and the same knobs and events ... but the problem there was in Part 1 already.

Conclusion:
A good, but not outstanding game that has such a slating from the fans but not definitely vedient. Certainly the main campaign of the game is much too short, and the argument in the first part there were more worlds limited may apply: In Part 1 we visited many worlds and twice in only slightly modified form. It is true that there are only a total of three boss and all of them are not so hard to defeat. And it is true that the main character is a bit pale and reached neither the tenterhooks even the qualities of the original Starkiller. But for that, the game in addition to varying difficulty also additional challenges, some of which are far from simple and the opportunity a good one, and to earn a bad end. I had at the end, when I had done everything, yet a total running time of about 14 hours and was thus fully satisfied. Arguments like: "through gambled in 3 hours" are only valid if you rusht through the game to exploit without any possibilities to seek all Holocrons without making the challenge and just rumzuprobieren with opponents, how they could still defeat alternatively. ..
I can only say at this game, it depends on the expectations with which you rangeht to complete it. If you're looking for a game that you attracts over weeks to the screen and comes up with an elaborate story, you are definitely wrong. But if you're looking for exciting entertainment in the Star Wars universe, you are exactly right.
