Star Wars: Force Unleashed II - Lightsaber Action!

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

I've been making Lightsaber noises at my desk all day...

We all loved the Star Wars: The Old Republic trailer from E3 this year. It gave us an extra taste of awesome Star Wars action, even though most of the gameplay from the upcoming BioWare MMO won't be like that.

Lightsaber action, however, was one of the focuses of the Force Unleashed game, and there's a sequel coming. The Force Unleashed II plans to be even more dialed up than the first game, and hopefully the CGI trailer released for E3 is a little representative of the upcoming title.

There's a plot spoiler in this trailer that will give away the events in the first Force Unleashed, but if you're not too concerned about that, then go ahead and enjoy some more Star Wars fan service.

WTF, I thought you could edit messages on here by clicking on "Read the comments on the forums" then clicking on the edit button on your message. I don't see any edit button on the post and yes I am logged in. The only time I want to edit a post and it's not working, ******* great.

Moderator edit: cool it on the language.

Gigahertz20, you can't edit comments on Tom's Guide, only Hardware.

Anyways, the video looks awesome. Hope the gameplay lives up to it.

Axiel, you may want to read more into the star wars universe outside of the movies.

the Jedi portrayed in the new trilogy are weak because of the stagnated order, and of course in the original trilogy because they are old or still in training.

Anyways, i loved the first game. the story is what made it, and im worried this will ruin everything. since the first was canonical with the SW history, this doesn't really add up. Hopefully it will turn out well though.

Axiel :
What a kick in the nuts for all the SW fans.The force shouldn't be this powerful, Jedi isn't a god and not supposed to have godlike powers.They simply ruined it for me.



Clearly the Force is weak with this one.

Gota love how those clone soldiers are so clumsy stupid and inacurate, they are supposed to be clones of some super soldier, meh -.-

The trailer was great, I might agree that they were no match for him. This takes away the suspense and allows for less stylish kills.(Sphere explosion Vs impressive moves and skills)

He needs much stronger enemies :P

Hopefully it is more optimized for the PC and not just a 360 port.

Along with what everyone else has said. When 3' high furry bears can wipe out a "super soldier" army, the empire needs to re-evaluate its army.

They need to slow down on the God Mode for force bearers... getting close to jumping the Rancor on this.

Not a big fan of most third person games, though both KOTORs were fun.

Ok so he's strong. Troopers and robots are no match. So where is the challenge? Only jedi knights... that's fun. What else, can he take down a spaceship? Destroy a planet with his fists? Why didn't he just kill Vader as it seems like he is far more powerful than Vader.

Amazing trailer, I only hope that the gameplay can match it.

i think he's not "that" godly as one might think. the star wars has been reanimated from simple sword fights (ep 4-6) to jumpy artsy and awesome saber duels (ep 1-3). just imagine luke having a reanimation, and of course vader, and then compare this "fictional" guy of the star wars universe to them. vader might pour a lightning storm versus his throwback lightning fingery tips. now that is godly.

Not sure how they're going to balance the 'Force Incinerate' power, but looks awesome nonetheless.

Hope Force Unleashed II will work with both MS Kinect and PS Move.

Since Force Unleased I worked in Wii, this should not be difficult for them to include MS Kinect and PS Move.

I want the lightsaber in real action and in HD with smart AI!!!

Had we more of this in the new trilogy, perhaps the new trilogy wouldn't have sucked... Looks like it would be fun, should it be released for the PC...

My question is if he can do all that with the force, why even have a light saber. Seems like it would just slow him down.

wookiepedia on all you Starwars fans wondering whats up.
The storm troopers in Episodes 4-6 are not the same as the clone troopers in 1-3, Clone troopers were like robots and would obey orders and had nobility and "republic values" encoded into their DNA thus the empire began to "diversify" the trooper processes and even allow natural born humans to become troopers who would serve the emperor by oath of loyalty and out of fear.

the "god mode" of the force is a bit far streched (had yoda shown this power in episodes 1-3, things would have kicked more ass). And besides, they say those who wield these dual lightsabers are known to "rely on their sabre or own strength, rather than rely on the force"

Obviously he is some sort of Vader Experiment with super force powers! Why would vader leave him with all those r-tard troopers with his 2 sabers?? It was a test to see what he could do. FFS, let them create some new story lines or else were gonna have luke and Jar-Jar forever....
