All fans of the Star Wars franchise should now carefully familiarize themselves with what Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II has to offer. As the name suggests, this is the second installment of this game series, in hack and slash mode. Interestingly, you have the opportunity to learn about events that have not been known before. You can actually rediscover the world created by George Lucas from the perspective of the Dark Side of the Force. Sounds interesting?

Plot

In the sequel, Starkiller reappears with exceptional Force abilities and sets out on a journey to uncover his true identity and reconcile with his one and only true love, Juno Eclipse. Darth Vader's pawn in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II is Starkiller, but instead of training his protégé to be a merciless assassin, the Dark Lord wants to replicate his former student in order to produce the most powerful Sith fighter.

In this story you take part in many epic events in which you wield the great strength of the Force, just as you did in the first half. You have many fighting techniques at your disposal as the main character, but there are some new combinations, such as Mind Trick, which forces opponents to fight for your benefit and victory, or Force Fury, which allows you to fulfill skills several times per level. Don't worry, the game's designers haven't forgotten about the most crucial aspect of each combat: dependable lightsabers.

Gameplay

The game mechanics of Star Wars TFU 2 have been greatly improved, so you can expect a wider diversity of both assaults and plot aspects. Combat has been enhanced with the ability to wield two lightsabers capable of dismembering or decapitating adversaries.

The Force Unleashed II is a third-person action game that has an attack system that lets you combine lightsaber attacks with Force powers. As in the original Force Unleashed game, experience points earned by killing foes and discovering artifacts can be used to improve Starkiller's abilities and qualities.
