Lol nice one! The thing about this game is that it was totally Unnecessary. I couldn't care less for Starkiller (who looks like a real life actor but I can't put my finger on whom) or that silly plot to tie up the first and second trilogy... If you want to make a good Star Wars game release Star Wars Battlefront 3!!!!!! XD
Nice Demon's Souls reference (Watercress). However, had the game actually made you stop to think about your health, it might have been been better than the crap it obviously is.
Maybe this isn't yahtzee's review...Thr Long Man said:
Maybe the escapist has been killing yahtzee every time he fulfills a certain cycle of reviewing games to make sure he doesn't rise up against the escapist with his own criticizing abilities, THEN CLONES HIM AFTER KILLING HIM!
And each clone gets a glitchy voice at the beginning of each cycle, THIS EXPLAINS EVERY INCIDENT OF HIS VOICE SOUNDING ODD!
aNYWAY....
I got force unleashed for the wii, hated it.
Got it for the pc, hated it again.
The most fun I had on the wii game was the tutorial.
It's sad that this kind of game even makes money, this is why I hate fanboys. They will usually buy and love any crap they get out of some stupid loyalty to the franchise.
Why make good games for the normal public when fanboys will buy whatever sauce your'e crapping out?
We should always criticize every flaw in a game, always...
Only then will improvements be made and the flaw will cease to exist in future games.
If developers don't do a good job, they shouldn't get money from us.
The audio in the last 2 episodes sounded a tad deaf, not just this one. But especially this one.
I stopped playing Star wads games back in the TIE fighter days. And I've never regretted that decision.

Until the Sun goes cold fools will part with money for things that are way past their sell by date. Star Wars is one of those things. I enjoyed the three movies. I enjoyed Battlefront II, I did not enjoy KOTOR, the first planet was mind numbingly dull. I also enjoyed Zahn's first three Star Wars novels. That is the sum extent of what I like about this particular flogged horse. FU2 is not on my Christmas list. In fact, after this savaging I'm inclined to wish for George Lucas to lose both his hands and his tongue in a freak accident.
Well, ive played the demo and its EXACTLY the first game, thought that was weird. The same robot again? why?
Need to ask me for consultation, would take like 5 seconds to think of more things to do in the game.....
it is fun flipping out and throwing stuff and enemies......how many times do you have to do that though? From the sound of everyone else is making.......the entire game. So yeah, and another touchdown for you, yahtzee
Now do STAR TREK ONLINE! lol....

I agree very much Yahtzee, oh so very much. George Lucas' vomitous writing and sub-low brow standards have infected LucasArts and everything they touch.
Except KOTOR... and hopefully The Old Repuplic.

While I agree with everything about the story and the fact that Starkiller 2.0 is stupidly overpowered right from the start.
The game is fun. Casually lifting the last Stormtrooper of the group you just destroyed and sadistically plunging different coloured lightsabers into him, zapping him with lightening then moving him over a ledge and flinging him away, never gets old.
Oh by the way. Anyone want a FU2 for PS3? Cause I got the Platinum Trophy within a week just playing on and off and now I have completely completed everything in the game.
It is ridiculously easy, even on Unleashed difficulty. Still fun though!

Despite how short and rather easy the second game is, I still want to play it...but I'll wait until the price drops. Paying 59.99 for a short sequel feels weird. Or I could just rent it.
"Star Wads"? (Perhaps) best typo ever! (Perhaps because I don't know if it was a typo or not).MetalGenocide said:
The thing about why Star Wars was good is because nothing like it had been done before on a big budget. It mimicked Saturday morning serials, Lucas even said so. And to be frank, most of them were done on a teaspoon budget, and they sucked ass. Now, 30+ years later on, everyone has done something like this, so most of the later sequels are seen as shit (and I'm not denying that most of them are shit, but SW only stood out from the crowd because it was so unusual). The story is not very deep, even if it has deep mythological roots, but I think that the designers of games like this are imitating what Lucas has done without understanding what it was he was trying to do with the hero's journey. Copy-pasting without trying to do something different will only get you regurgitated pap.
Look at the first three posts. Nothing offensive at all, not even a "F!RST". And yet, probation. Christ, the mods on this site are oversensitive. Maybe they haven't been getting laid often enough and this is where they take out their frustration? Sounds like a good discussion topic...
On topic: No. I don't think many people DO still like Star Wars. It's the brand recognition that keeps it alive. Sans Ewoks, the original trilogy was superb. Sans Obsidian's penchant for outrageously buggy gameplay and unfinished endgame sequences, the Knights of the Old Republic series was orgasmic. Sans the knowledge that dogfights in space should have fighters moving faster than WW2 era planes, the Rogue Squadron series is jaw-droppingly fun. But everything else?
EVERYTHING else, all of it, all the rest of the stuff we could easily drown in?
Just. Plain. Awful. Get it away from me. No redeeming value. Just dilutes the good bits.
