Star Wars the Force Unleashed II

The Force is unleashed again in this sequel to what many consider to be the most important entry into the Star Wars franchise since the last film.

For those who don't know, The Force Unleashed was a third-person action/combat game in which players took on the role of Starkiller, the secret apprentice of Darth Vader. Having ultimately saved the Rebel Alliance in the last game, Starkiller is back on a more personal mission to understand who he truly is. That, and chop up lots of folk with his lightsabre...

Actually, we should say his two lightsabres, plural. That might seem like a minor addition to some, but it's a feature Star Wars fans will be more than happy with.

It's tweaks and changes like this that really set TFU2 apart from its predecessor while still maintaining that feeling of force power that made the first game special. More environmental puzzles have been brought into play, for example, to make sure players stop to look around and take in their locations and to break up the gameplay a little. Similarly, LucasArts has listened to player feedback and has opted for fewer, more powerful and varied enemies rather than swarming players with hordes of them, as in the first title.

Darth Killer: Set between the prequel and original trilogy, take the role of Darth Vader's errant apprentice as you search for your lost love and seek revenge on your former master.
Two for One: Wield dual lightsabres as you fight a more varied range of enemies and take part in unique boss battles with a truly epic scale.
Force yourself: Utilise new Force powers such as mind trick - which causes enemies to fight each other - and Force fury to give a boost to all your standard abilities.
Deep Space: More involved mission objectives include true puzzle-solving and vehicular combat, including the chance to pilot a TIE Fighter.
Special FX: Stunning graphics use state-of-the-art technology including physics engine Havok, motion system Euphoira and material simulator Digital Molecular Matter.
