DON'T Play Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2 In 2023... Review

[@harryglithero3504]

Unpopular opinion: This was the most fun I've ever had in a Star Wars game.

[@Youtubeviewerwhoiscool]

Same this was one of my favorite 360 games. I even bought it again cause my series s doesn't have a disk drive

[@RandalphTheBlack]

Dang, interesting take. Is it safe to assume you haven't played jedi academy, jedi outcast or knights of the old republic? Nor battlefront 1or 2?

[@Rsgh0st9]

@@RandalphTheBlackI’ve played all but it’s still my fav Star Wars game

[@Wade_Tyler]

I still love playing force unleashed 2. Both main and Wii versions.

[@TK-985]

I actully liked it myself aswell but i just thought the story was a little short

[@Gtc2000]

It’s 5-10 bucks, short answer is yes

[@dono_fauteux2505]

I agree i bought the game at a pawnshop (never rly played old starwars games but the force unleashed on nintendo ds) and if its bad idc it was only 10 $ cad so yea i agree with ya

[@joeymatos3579]

They should make a Star wars the force unleashed 2. For the Nintendo switch

[@eeqol2268]

This game deserves a reboot/remake its still a great concept it deserved better. disney was the one to blame for its rushed development. Its no wonder they dont want starkiller to be canon.

[@102-d7i]

I just recently played through it again along with the endor dlc and it was enjoyable but the first was so much better

[@th3w3irdguy]

way better tbh the 2nd one just feels like a shadow of itself which a lot of sequels feel like nowadays

[@bigcheesyslicesbatholomewj8467]

How did you get the endor dlc I've been trying to find out if and how I can get the dlc on ps3

I played this on PC and Wii. The Wii’s combat made it so much better alone. Your combos were rewarded with an attack triggered by you swinging the wiimote, which unleashed 5 different attacks depending on how long your combo was kept up, starting from a base swing, to Padawan, Knight, Master, and Unleashed, as well as having the Rage ability, which looked bad ass. It also had a more fun Vader boss fight, where he’d sic the clones on you, which you could use against him to distract him. You also just flung him into a giant fly zapper too. The flagship is such a downgrade from this version. Using the combo system alone makes this a regular replay for me. Plus it had a 1v1 mode too iirc, and the colors for the sabers weren’t as much of a pain to get. TL;DR, flagship was butchered, get the Wii port. It’s so much more fun. It might have some of the same issues as the flagship, but it’s at least a bit more fulfilling to play. Both are fun, but Red Fly did a real good job on this version of the game imo.

[@Particle_Ghost]

I recently played these again on the Series X and they're both better than the new games that came out. They both bring you back to the when games had quality over quantity, they didn't focus on being gigantic boring walking simulators with platform section after platform section. Unleashed 2 just gets some hate because it is shorter than the first game, just think of it as worthy expansion. There is also an Endor DLC that adds another 45 minutes for $1, but I don't think it was released on PC, only consoles.😢

[@goatedjoe]

Everything you said about the combo system is just so incorrect. Play the first challenge trial, it teaches you all the combos. Actually play the game fully before you review it

[@stemup]

Thank you! British reviewers piss me tf off

[@donvhermit5803]

i dont wanna be that guy cuz its a decade old game but why cant people review shit without spoiling the plot...

[@Redacted_Ruler]

For a game you can buy for like 5 bucks on steam, I think it’s worth a play. Defiantly wouldn’t buy it for 60 bucks though lmao.

[@realpoesolo]

Nahh, get Republic Commando instead! 1000x better. Also check out SWTOR and SWGOH

[@lewis18051]

I think it’s free on Xbox gamepass or ea play but if it was around £15-£20 and you’ve never played it as a Star Wars fan I would definitely recommend buying it, my only criticism is that it was too short other than that it has extremely fun gameplay and a decent story with great voice acting. The best part though is being able to wield black lightsabers

[@soap_dagod]

the pure strenth of starkiller crushing a tiefighter crashed the entire game... so badass

[@PureEvil1138]

I got it for five bucks on sale and I’m playing through it to get some achievements, it’s pretty fun but I would never pay $60 for this

[@VascovanZeller]

Yahtzee (zero punctuation) had an epic takedown of this game back in the day. If you've never watched it, go ahead it will make your day!

[@JacksGameReviews]

That literally just popped up on my suggested videos Might give it a watch tonight :D

[@VascovanZeller]

@@JacksGameReviews go ahead and watch it, it's a riot. While you're at it, check out bioshock 2 from the same guy.

[@raweuphoria4225]

Just stumbled across your channel and have spent the last 2 hrs watching your content. You're putting out great content, really well articulated with high quality editing and production. Well on par with, and surpassing other gaming related channels. Keep it up and I wish you good success. 👍

[@JacksGameReviews]

Thank you mate :)

[@jayreezieemoncada3748]

How much he pay you to say that bro....this star wars clip was negative from beginning to end.

[@w33zythedreadedeagle]

We need a remake of this game. It's one of the best Star wars games ever made in my opinion. Well the first one deserves an remake or remaster, imagine this on the PlayStation 5 OMG 😳

[@jjgaming6662]

I have had my finger crossed for years even a swfu3 or as you said remake or remaster Just got the new xbox and wow these 2 games look amazing

[@small2612]

Brotha how the hell did your pc manage to run the port?? It’s literally the most broken thing ever for like 99% of people. Wish I was lucky as you

[@RandoMan07]

I played this game first because it was a gift and that might be the reason I prefer TFU 2 over TFU 1. I actually only got the first one a few days ago and am still playing the story.

[@Pyr0r6]

Im just hoping for a live action and actually building on the cloning idea. But none of it will happen 😢. Disney bring back starkiller to cannon

[@disturbedfan0717]

I've always said that TFU II is my personal "Dark Empire" of the old Expanded Universe. I think the story is really whack, but it's got some charm regardless, and i have a lot of nostalgia for the game that keeps me coming back to it nearly 14 years later. However, even in the novelization, the story just doesn't justify or explain well enough to me why Vader is so obsessive over recreating Starkiller. The old EU was great 95% of the time, and im fine with it existing as an entry into the lore, but this one was definitely a rough story.

[@Its_LumberJack]

This game and the first one were both so much fun for the time and had so much potential. Its a shame they fell short and didnt get the development time they deserved. The brutality of the combat was everything I wanted in a star wars game and the story had so much potential. I still have fond memories of both of them, but definitely remember the first one being much better.

[@heyitsfp]

My take on it was that vader was doing test runs with starkiller and eventually clone himself to recover his body. After Frankensteining himself back together, with his body whole a whole new ceiling of force abilities could be available. Anyway the writing can be taken interesting places, when there are gaps like this I just enjoy filling them with my own stuff.

[@JacksGameReviews]

Always handy to have a creative mind when the writing is all over the place :D

[@goatedjoe]

Gameplay is amazing but the story is trash compared to the first. Some things in the second were actually good, especially the challenges. With the campaign being short atleast they had challenges that take a long time to complete, and is also how you obtain costumes and second lightsaber crystals

[@mistervanderveer]

Playing this game on PC with unlimited FPS fix upscaled to 4k is an absolute joy.

[@realpoesolo]

It continuously crashed on me to the point where I had to remove a few cutscene files. The story wasn’t as good as the first one and I didn’t really enjoy the fight scenes as much. First one was miles better than the second imo and if you have a couple bucks to spend on a sw game go get Republic Commando! It is one of my top favorite SW games. A few others to check out are SWTOR and SWGOH. (My system was not the problem with The force unleashed 2, I have a RX6700XT and I think it was the Ryzen 3600? Could be wrong on the CPU.

[@Eradictus]

I agree with you.. i was so hyped for FU2 when i finished first one.. only to stop playing it after two and half hours because it was bad.

[@silverninja2132]

i used to play this all the time on the wii when i was like 8, didnt have to be that harsh we get it. Nice vid

[@RJB117]

I have played games for decades. I had a blast with this one.

[@lorddarthkairos01]

I'm what a gameplay, but I'm know for certain that the novel is quite the book!!! But look at the cinematics they still hold after 13 yrs and some parts are better what we got in some games here and there

[@tyrannosaurus62]

And here I thought I was playing another Anaken story back in the day on the PS3.

[@JacksGameReviews]

That would be a cool elseworld story, the emperor clones anakin before he becomes vader or something :D

[@tyrannosaurus62]

@@JacksGameReviews true but in my opinion. I personally feel that Star Wars Died when Lucas sold the rights to Disney. I know that is unfair but I tried to like the new ones. I really did. They’re so awful. Even Mandalorian Season 3 was disappointing and Book Of Boba was boring and watered down so much. Learning about the BTS on Star Wars then to Star Wars now is so sad.

[@MatDazNah2005]

I'm trying to buy this game digitally on my PS3 and I want to have all the DLC, plus there was a pre-order bonus with 2 exclusive costumes and 2 new exclusive challenges. I know it's 2023 but is there a way to get the pre-order bonuses or is it too late?

[@CeceliPS3]

Thanks for this. I just bought the PS3 collector's edition of the first game and I'm extra happy that I won't have to buy the silly collector's edition of the second game. It comes with a silly flash drive... LOL. People seem to just have given up at some point in the past. Just like GTA IV. Collector's edition of IV was amazing, of the V it was trash! lol

[@michaelschwartz8730]

TBF, the cutscenes were eye-popping for the time

[@davidecortese5744]

Just got this game for free from Amazon gaming. Might play it just for the lore.

[@maxpowerscomic7586]

you should make dissections like this a running playlist

[@JacksGameReviews]

I've tried playlists but my videos are kinda messy when it comes to it being a retrospective or just a review ya know

[@spookledrealhard7154]

This game easily could've had 40 hours of gameplay if the game devs actually wanted to but it's obvious they were trying to setup for a 3rd game and trying to spread the story line to grab more money, but they never got the chance to make a 3rd clearly probably due to the fact this game was very underwhelming. Literally as soon as shit gets cool and you are ready for more this game hits you with end credits.... It's a massive let down. And there's no finish to the story just left with a cliff hanger that will never be finished.

[@puertoricanboy100]

Did you changed your name? From CGR to JGR?

[@JacksGameReviews]

I did yeah, wasn’t reviewing many classics and when I did it didn’t really do all that well so I thought why not change the name :)

[@puertoricanboy100]

@Jacks Game Reviews I like the change tbh! It also gives us an identity for you. Not that you didnt have one, love your opinion and the way you deliver them🔥🔥

[@AlphaZeroX96]

Well gameplay is more important than story.

[@BFG-Based]

Never played this, just picked up the first one, really liked the review it was funny :)

[@WerewolfMaster]

Yeah, I was the most annoyed by how short it was but EVERYTHING is superior to ANYTHING that DIsney ever made so far. The music, the vibe, actors. Nothing woke to violate artistic freedom and to make plot sketchy It feels Star Wars. It IS Star Wars. Disney never followed the vibe and changes everything.

Just bought it for $2. Probably a crappy game, but for $2, idc.

​@@JacksGameReviews The game cobbles together glorified fan fiction for what amounts to an unexceptional subplot as it abruptly ends in the second act screaming, SEQUEL GOES HERE!

Yeh this games great get a grip

[@Moscoe...]

Cloning starkiller is just dumb and ruins the original trilogy why if you can jist clone powerful force users why wouldn’t the empire just clone 100’s of anakins they’d be unstoppable why waste so much time hunting down the rebels when you could just have 5 anakins kill all plolitical powers sympathetic to the rebellion why make the death star when you hhave the ultimate contingency with the ability to just create powerful sith lords who can bring down star destroyers and shoot billions of volts of electricity out of there hands this game is complete shit
