SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Dec 12, 2009 — The Star Wars® Saga continues in 2010 with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, a sequel to the blockbuster videogame developed by LucasArts.

Released in 2008, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed remains the fastest-selling Star Wars game ever, with sales of nearly seven million units worldwide. The action game garnered numerous accolades including the WGA Award for outstanding achievement in writing for videogames.

With Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, the epic story continues as players once again assume the role of the devastatingly powerful Starkiller - Darth Vader's secret apprentice set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.

"Executive Producer Haden Blackman and his team have been able to build on the core foundation of the award-winning original and create a powerful combination of engrossing story-telling and intense action. The Force Unleashed II gives fans an opportunity to wreak havoc on an even greater scale in the Star Wars universe," said LucasArts' President Darrell Rodriguez.

More information about the game can be found at the official website, www.unleashed2010.com, which will continue to release details throughout the year.

Prtty meh for me. The first game was an arcade hack and slash, with boring lightsaber combat. It did not come close to matching the Jedi Knight series. It appears this will just be more of the same.

This is the most intelligent thing I've ever heard Andhaira say.

Makes me glad they didn't go for their original idea of making a Darth Maul game. Darth Maul is my favorite SW character and I would have hated to play him in a crappy game.

 

[DriacKin]

Darth Maul is my favorite SW character and [...]

This, on the other hand, is NOT the most intelligent thing I've heard Andhaira say.

 

[Dnny]

Star wars is probably the most retarded license. I don't think I've ever played a star wars game that didn't sound totally retarded. Even Jedi Knight. God last time I tried to play Jedi Academy I was so put off by all the cheese, crappy levels and multitude of totally retarded cutscenes I couldn't play it for more than two hours.

If this game is worse than Jedi Knight that says a lot about the magnitude of stink it will bear.

X-Wing and TIE Fighter.

Especially TIE Fighter.

Thou shall not corrupt me, foul Paki!

 

[Jasede]

Argh, I didn't even notice! Help me, racofer. You are my only hope.

 

[racofer]

Hold me hand, furry friend, and let us fly towards to northern star!

I only played this for the PC, and it was rather obvious that wasn't what it was designed for.

Other than that though, it could have rivalled the Jedi Knight series with a few modifications. Say, dismemberment, instant light-saber kills, less stupid saber/timestop effects when hitting things, less holding-a-button-to-black-incoming-shots, less 'collect cubes to get level up', better maps, and less awkward mouse/kb controls.

As it is, Dark Forces 2 remains my favorite Star Wars game.

Watched the cutscenes on youtube. That's all the "gameplay" Force Unleashed ever had.

 

[Lockkaliber]

The gameplay was pretty much exactly the same as the Lord of the Rings games for the PS2. Horrible, repetetive shit.

I played a borrowed version. Something like 16 fucking gigs installed? Jesus fucking christ, it better be good. After taking forever to begin, I load up the first level, and I'm Darth Vader. Cool. Not. I then uninstalled the game as soon as I discovered it wanted me to go through a mile of useless shitty enemies that couldn't hurt me, and I had to do it WALKING, because DARTH VADER DOESN'T RUN. A design decision failure of that magnitude told me everything I needed to know about the game.

 

[Lesifoere]

Yes, and how did you like the lack of mouse support in the menu?

 

[Overweight Manatee]

Yes, and how did you like the lack of mouse support in the menu?

I didn't even notice it. Hard core players know that the mouse is a sign of weakness.

That's more of a sign of them just rushing a port though. I was talking about the overall gameplay failures that would cross all platforms.

That's better than my try. Kept corrupting the save file and crashed at the start of the 1st level. From what I hear there still isn't a fix for that.

Yeah. I remember finding that game for cheap over 10 years ago, best $5 I spent. It was one of the first games we played lanned alot.

As for this new game, I hope I'm pleasantly surprised but I doubt I will be.

As for this new game, I hope I'm pleasantly surprised but I doubt I will be.

Some absolutely horrible games have managed to fix things up so that the second in the series was, if not great, at least far more bearable (see: Assassin's Creed 2). Lucasarts doesn't strike me as a developer that is going to learn from its mistakes though.
