I’ll admit that I’m anticipating The Force Unleashed 2 despite my current misgivings with Star Wars, but let’s face it: George Lucas’ eminent sci-fi franchise will continue to hold a special place in my heart despite all the attempts he makes at destroying my childhood.
The Force Unleashed is one of the few things in the last couple of years that I’ve enjoyed about Star Wars (except for the Republic Commando books), so a sequel is just what the doctor ordered. Despite the fact that I played it at PAX 2010 and liked it a lot, some people (Anthony) were worried about the lack of gameplay being shown in the trailers. Well, take a look at the launch trailer for The Force Unleashed 2 and let your fears be put to rest:
No too shabby if I do say so myself. October is kind of a ruinous month, considering that every Tuesday from here on out delivers a must-play game. Medal of Honor is next week, followed by Fallout: New Vegas then The Force Unleashed. It will be tricky to manage all these games, but how are you guys going about it? Is TFU2 a day-one purchase or are you saving it for the upcoming slump?
I want this soo bad!
I was hoping this game to be a lot better than TFU. After seeing this I’m defenitely going to pick it up. I’m still a little reluctant about the story because some of the SW:EU tales ruin the perception I have of many characters. As you said Mitch, this many great games coming out so early will be a test of our management skills of money and time. I guess we can’t complain.
I really liked the story of TFU and now it seems like they have upped the ante on the combat, so I’ll probably be getting this.
