"Definite Improvment"
5 stars"

The first game was good and it set the story up but the gameplay fell short on trying to deliver an epic tale. The combat was clunky and malformed while some graphical details were just plain ugly. I got my hands on the demo for the force unleashed 2 yesterday and must say that I believe that this is what have shoul've been from the start. The new saber mechanics and dual-wielding combos and a graphical boost give a very compelling sensation when cutting down stormtroopers like butter. The force powers have a new look and are improved in lethality and provide a nice looking combat scenario allowing for choices on dispatching enemies. A new feature includes ‘force fury’, almost like God of War's spartan mode, except, I don't think that has got much on this. His fury mode makes him mind-blowingly strong and feels like your in control of the most powerful weapon there is, all combos turn into lightsaber frenzies and the force powers are enough to blow anyone into the atomic levels. The story at first may seem like a cheap cover-up for a lack of trying to tell how startkiller had died and come back but it becomes clear that there is something more to it, but basically the whole first game is essentially the beginning of how ‘you’ came to be in the second game and why you have these memories of someone else. Simply your a clone with your host's memories, not exactly a spoiler. The story grows on you though, in the short time I had to play it due to demo length, I felt like the gameplay implemented the story well and the good part is, for you guys in the first game, is that this clone comes with the package. He has most of the abilities from starkiller as he recalls memories and is fully capable of wrecking havok from the get-go. A definitely fun experience is to be had here in this game and should be throughly enjoyed by the players from the first game and all others new to the franchise.
