The developers played through part of the first level to show us what to expect. With Force II, the glitches are just one minor concern when compared to the rest of the game, which is a mess, and this game needed more than just more time, it needed a total reworking.Īt E3 this year, Lucasarts showed off Force II in a closed room. It is usually a business thing more than an error, so I can live with it. Most glitches are the result of the developer being rushed to produce the game, so a glitch or two earns the benefit of the doubt. I am usually willing to cut a lot of slack to a video game developer when it comes to glitches. In fact, I lost a lot of respect for the company as developers because of this title. I love Star Wars, and I always will despite George Lucas’ best efforts to punish my wallet for being a fan, and yet I cannot get behind Lucasarts on The Force Unleashed II.
There is simply no easy way to put it, and it pains me to say this, but Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II is just not a good game.
No, you know what? I had a ton of Star Wars puns that I planned to drop into this review, but it is just too depressing.
