[jin starkiller]

26th is the release i believe

[astromech_kuhns]

LOVED IT!!!

i will be preordering it!!!

[bk_renesis]

Yeah it's pretty awesome especially force fury mode where your powers just go off the chain!!! It's also alot darker than before with the beheading, force crush, and troopers being incinerated with force repulse.

I also like the FX when you use repulse or push as it leaves cracks and dents in the floors and walls.

It's going to be EPIC!

i'm actually surprised they didn't have dismemberment in the first one...

[FenderBender]

Yup, definitely glad they got rid of the "baseball bat" lightsaber. Dismemberment FTW!!!

[strengthofrage]

This looks fantastic, glad I pre-ordered it. I'm really excited for the story line, I'm soooo darn curious!!!

Not to put anyone off or anything, but i finished it, and it wasnt all that great.
Reason 1: Aesthetics.
You only have Kamino , which looks grey,
you have spaceships, they look grey too,
and there is just one little level on Cato Neimoidia that has colour.
Oh, and a really tiny level on Dagobah, which isnt that colourful either.

Reason 2:
Enemies.
They simply dont feel al that varied, even though when listed, it might seem like a lot.

The easy ones:
You've got your Stormtroopers (aka, cannonfodder)
Snipers (aka, annoying)
Jumptroopers (aka, one zap and WOOSH gone they are)
Tiny spiders droids.

The harder ones:
The Force resistant Acolytes (lots of those)
The saber resistant Guards (lots of those too)
and the hard to hit Terror Troopers.

Then you have the new Dark Troopers, the (incinerator and carbon freezing droids) which are just hard to kill.

And of course the obligatory AT-ST's, and the Missile-ST's (dont know the real name).

The bosses are the Gorog from the trailer , the spider mech from the trailer, and Vader.

Sounds like a lot, but because the nearly all grey environment, with a scenery that barely changes, it just feels repetetive, espially since you can basically kill em all with just Saber+lightning.

Reason 3:
The 'improvements'.

The targeting system isnt that much better, the upgrades have been
reduced to just the Force powers (3 upgrades for each) and the lightsabers, and when
in Unleashed Mode you only really feel unleashed when doing that Force Burst or whatever, burning your enemies.

Reason 4:
The story.

Its just a Save the Princess (of my original self) story.
Oh, and the Light Side/ Dark Side ending is chosen by pressing Shift for Dark Side, and Tab for Light Side.

Sorry for the long post, just telling what i thought about it.
TFU II is as Scott said: "Kinda like the Prequel Trilogy, highly anticipated, but dissapointing in the end."

That's not EXACTLY what I said, but you made the ending better, so I won't say anything...
But IGN agrees with Mihunai

[ThreeQuadFive]

So far, I have to agree with the mediocre reviews.
It feels..rushed, especially on the wii.

I actually prefer to have the baseball style controls as opposed to constant button mashing now.

The gfx on the wii could have SERIOUSLY done with more polishing (its quite capable actually), and they leave out the whole free fall part of the Kamino level too. What the heck. Need to get this on PC after to re-play.

It does feel repetitive though, but still star wars is fun in the end.
