And they aren't good. The ratings are mediocre, but from the demo I played it seemed great. The Metascore is right now at 64...
Are you still going to be getting this? I certainly, will!

From all the reviews and word of mouth, this game sounds fucking terrible.

More a rent than a buy, personally.  The first one was fun, sure, but I don't really see myself spending full price on this game, especially with everything else great coming out the same day.  I do plan to play through it but not until much later.

The reviews scared me a little and I'm a bit dissapointed but I liked the first one and I wanna play this aswell
 
I love Star Wars and I'll play this when it's cheap

Oh my goodness! A sequel to a mediocre, shallow cash in game turns out to be mediocre and shallow! It has TWO lightsabers, how could that NOT have made up for all the game's shortcomings!

Hmm... I kind of liked the first game as a story in the Star Wars universe. I was planning on renting this, but I don't know. Maybe I should look at some of the reviews.

Definitely what I expected :(

I could tell from the story how lazy and uninspired this was going to be.

The demo for TFU2 left me feeling exactly how I did about the first game which is to say it was fucking terrible at the best of times. 
 
Just LucasArts showing a sheer lack of creativity and trying to milk a cash cow. God damn them.

Great that there's such a positive vibe for this game!
I think I'll have fun with it for what it is, and not what it's actually supposed to be.

Until they make another star wars game in which lightsabers actually take dudes down in one hit like they are supposed to ( Oh wait, that wookie with a wooden stick is blocking my attack!) then i shall continue to ignore star wars games

I loved the first one and thought it was fantastic. This one will most likely be no different.

I'll probably pick it up once it goes cheap. I have too many other things to buy for now.

I've still always felt they didn't make it enough like God of War, too much like Jedi Power Battles. It's mostly camera and HUD stuff. If Santa Monica studios worked on that game it might be my favourite ever. Still, the series is a fairly decent action game but it's so arcadey with the pulled back camera, health bars and power ups.

I too would've waited for it to go down in price. But I'm gonna trade in two games I don't care a fuck about and get it for a dollar. So that'll be a nice trade.

LucasArts, listen up candyasses, read my lips 
 
 
JEDI KNIGHT 3

Man that sucks... Starkiller is a LEGIT good character, dig his story, dig his voice, but the games around him are just BUSTED!

I'd prefer a game in the style of Dark Forces or Tie Fighter, but I'd take a Jedi Knight or even another Rogue Squadron game now...

That follows common sense, but it seems like it would make the game WAY too easy, unless you were just fighting other people with lightsabers. "

I'M SURE I'm gonna play IT WHEN it's a bit CHEAPER, but something about IT (and the FIRST ONE did this TOO) strikes me AS FUCKING fanfiction in the worst WAY. I THINK it's partially THE NAMES.

The first one bummed me out. I thought the controls were kinda of a let down. The force really felt like it was leashed. I still played it to completion, but I only played it once and promptly forgot about it.

The first one was a disappointing mess as well.  Why are we surprised to find that this second one isn't any better?

As I always expected.

I enjoyed the first one a lot, but if the story isn't all that great, then I can't justify buying this until the price goes way down.

You gotta admit, TFU was ;the best' Star Wars product for a long time.   

Wait, why are people surprised? The first game's gameplay ranged from decently derivative to straight up bad in a lot of places. Not to mention, the fact that Starkiller is a clone kind of broke all suspension of disbelief for me in the story department, and this one looks to be even more fanservice-y.

 No. The Clone Wars animated series is fantastic and say what you want about Family Guy but their Star Wars parodies are classic and reverent at the same time. TFU was mediocre at best, forgettable if not for the Star Wars branding. "

Didn't like the demo but I didn't think it was bad.  I rented the 1st one for achievements & I'll probably do the same thing for this one too.

whoops didn't make my "" more obvious. the 1st level where you play as Vader 1 shoting all the wookies with the March of the Imperial playing was awesome. I bought TFU1 solely for that.  I very much prefer DarkHorse's SW:Republic than CN's Clone Wars. "

Too bad they are ending the Dark Horse comic cause it was pretty great as well. But damn I am a sucker for Gendy Tartakovski. "

I love when games, no matter what their review score is, get positive vibes on forums like this. It rarely happens especially on this forum because everyone likes to talk everything down, but when it does it's nice to see.   I'll be doing the same - taking the game in for what it is!  "

I like the force unleashed, I've noticed I'm in the minority about it, but I do.  I'll probably pick this up if I have the moonay.

So you'll be taking it for the mediocre pile of shit it is? Good for you if you find that fun I guess... "

Yup, I'm picking it up. Reviews don't affect my judgement in the slightest.

I'm glad.
 
Hopefully, Lucasarts gets some sense and remakes the countless other good Star Wars franchises they have in their vaults.

This is exactly the kind of thing I have Gamefly for. Game should be getting here either tomorrow or Thurs...

The demo was mediocre at best... Why are you surprised?!

Dammit, I had high hopes for this game. @TheHBK: Unless jedi knight 3 comes out like you suggest, TOR seems to be lookin like the only good star wars games to be coming out for a while.

Same with the first game. I loved the demo, but reviews are mediocre. I'll end up renting this.
