OK, this is GENIUS. Anyway, most of you are dorks. The first was a game where I could shatter trees with my mind, also electrify jawas and use them as grenades. Loosen your neckties. |

I could deal with the wonky auto aim, but the absolutely retarded control scheme and camera angles of the boss fights made me ragequit. I was enjoying myself until then.

So, I guess this game is out now? Has anyone played it? Checked it out on Steam and it says it has an "Improved targeting system," whatever the hell that means. Is the game as glitchy as the first one? Is the control better? Does it still do that fucking annoying "Boss Fight Camera Angle" thing?

Control is better. Game is more linear. Story is ass.
Breaks my heart as a fanboy to say it, but rent it if you must.

Saw it was on steam, tried to check out the page itself ( http://store.steampowered.com/app/32500/). "An error was encountered while processing your request: This item is currently unavailable in your region" Why do they insist on making it so fucking hard to be a consumer? Seriously? Do they not even want the chance to get my money? |

I wish someone would make a Star Wars game where I get to be Sith Emo and cut up all the cheerleaders who turned me down in high school. Fuck that game would rock.

I'd consider buying this if the protagonist didn't look like a complete idiot holding his lightsabre(s) backwards.
That's just fucking impractical, apart being a retarded way to fight he's going to keep slicing shit in half whenever he turns a corner because he can't see where the blade is swinging.
Idiot.

I'd assume that when you're badass enough to reliably deflect lazorz, the act of not cutting everyone up just because you're holding your light sabre behind your back would be child's play.

Downloaded the XBox 360 demo and played it a bit. Quicktime events are meh, the gameplay is ok, the graphics are pretty but yeah, the story seems dumb. I wouldn't pay full price for it.

I must be the only guy that likes the game... I never played the first and to me this game is actually fun. I was a sucker and bought the collectors edition for the MIMOfig USB drive. Gives you a neat set of saber crystals and the gamestop preorder crystals are nice too.

This sounds like the sort of bullshit he would have told the wife right before neatly slicing the best china in half with hilarious consequences. |

Well, obviously the china was possessed and needed to be put down, then. Obviously. Jedis don't make mistakes. |

Low review scores make me realize that perhaps the publishers were right to cancel Force Unleashed 3.
I'll play it but I expect the same frustrations I had with I now.

I'd expect worse frustrations based on what I'm hearing. Really sounds like ass. Watched a video of the entire Dagobah level (very short) and it made me think, "Somebody ran out of time and resources here and decided to sink a lot of money into a couple of trailers."

I played the demo, and simply found it not fun. It's pretty though, just not fun.

FU3 got cancelled? I know the first one made a decent amount of money, and it was alright. Not brilliant, but enough of a fanjob to make it worth the playthrough for me- it also got good reviews if I remember correctly. Was waiting for this one to get cheap.

I just played the demo, and I'm sold. It looks to be the same simple gameplay as the first one, but you know, lightsabers, stormtrooper slicing, and so forth. WUA's poochie flowchart is spot on, but I can't help not caring.  |

In that case then I hope to all that is holy that they've fixed the autoaim selector. Is it selecting according to where YOU look, not where your character is looking? |

Not only that, I believe the team is going to be shitcanned / shuttered after FU2. Rumor source. |

Not to derail, but all of that is yet another not-a-good-sign for the Old Republic MMO--sounds to me like the current LucasArts CEO is being a restless asshat about his IP, probably as a scapegoat for the company's own issues.

The wife bought this game for me and so far I play it with her around. It's quite fun though a bit repetitive. The controls are just like the last one, mostly good but sometimes you grab the wrong thing. Still, grab the wrong thing in this game just results in "well shit, I meant to grab that stormtrooper. Not this bench. Oh well." *electrifies bench and chucks it at the trooper killing him and a few others* "That works."
Edit:
I beat it tonight. The game is SHORT. As in I probably beat it in a total of 5-6 hours. At most. And that was with me having to replay a few boss fights several times.

Rent, if you want to play it. I do, but they sound like they didn't learn anything from the first one.

Went to block buster today and rented it. So far the game seems ... rushed. The story isn't anywhere near as clever as the first one IMHO; however, I am not that far into it either.

I won't be playing it for high-quality Star Wars-EU writing. I'll be playing it to assplode stormtroopers. Will wait for the SIth (gold/goty) Edition and pluck it from the bargain bin. Using the force.

Having put a few hours into this (may be getting close to the end?), my opinion is that the reviews for this game are WAY too harsh. It's plenty of fun for what it's intended to be. I don't understand what people are expecting from this little franchise.
And frankly, it's fucking gorgeous. They could easily do a full length feature using this tech as a foundation.
