    Ex-Sith apprentice Starkiller will be stomping mad and hunting down his girl on multiple platforms, acccording to LucasArts. The publisher recently revealed Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II will appear on the Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii and Nintendo DS on October 26, 2010. 

    This probably isn't from the DS version. 
    This probably isn't from the DS version. 
    There's not much more to this than a platform update, but just in case you didn't know, here are some light details about the game's setup: the Starkiller in TFUII is a clone, created by Vader after the events in the original game. Yet, even though he's technically different, he's still hot for Juno Eclipse, and Vader still wants him dead. Why? Because Starkiller's memories are inherited by clone Starkiller

    TFUII brings about new powers and more abilities. You'll be able to wield dual-lightsabers, fiddle with enemies' brains with the Jedi mind trick, do even more combos, and freak out in the Force-intensifying Force Fury mode. You may also be able to enjoy the game this time around--Lucas is promising better controls, more interactive puzzles, and fewer-but-tougher enemies.  

    Anyway, In addition to the platform details, some images from the game are being passed around by Lucas. I'm not a big fan of the edging around the characters, but I'm digging the weather effects and the backgrounds. You?

    That's brilliant marketing. Corner offices for everyone.

    I really wish a publisher out there would officially announce that a game is legitimately coming to EVERY platform, and just have absolutely everything...360, PS3, Wii, PSP, DS, 
    iPhone, GBA, PS2, Xbox, GameCube, Atari 2600, Colecovision, SNES, PSone, N64, Saturn, Dreamcast, Wonderswan, and of course the Virtual Boy.

    Just a note: pretty sure that crappy outline is a rain thing, it only seems to be in rain pics, and it is always up rather than all around. 
     
    I hope it's good, but they have a lot of improving to do.

    Ugh, the plot sounds horrendous.
    I was extremely hated the plot in the first one, so much so, I refuse to accept it as canon.

    Sweet - the PC version is actually pretty decent post latest patch so I'm looking forward to playing it there, was worried they'd forgo that version. Who knows? Maybe they've learnt from their prior mistakes (although, looking at the mess Black Rock made in porting Pure to the PC, and the same issues being prevalent in Split/Second, the precedent that has been set doesn't look great). 
     
    Hopefully the level design can live up to the art direction this time - although, having played through the Jedi Temple and Tatooine bonus maps in the Sith edition, you can really feel a marked improvement in how they've built the locales from a mechanical standpoint; shorter but sweeter - way less repetitive corridors, way more variety and an overall tighter feel.

    If they bring this game to the Wii and not use MotionPlus, the peripheral is officially a failure.

    Eh, I couldn't be more indifferent towards this game. I hated how generic the first one was, and am personally really burned out of the prequel timeline (not that I was ever into it in the first place).

    Why no PSP this time? Anyway I really liked the first game so I guess I am looking forward to this one. The whole premise sounds both cool yet cheap and lazy at the same time just so they could have Starkiller back. I guess we'll have to wait and see which way it goes because I thought the story of the first one wasn't half bad for a Star Wars game.

    Yeah, it was honestly a really cool action-adventure for a handheld system. I'd bet that it's sales weren't too hot, though, resulting in this total ignorance by the sequel. Gotta wonder how a system with 60 million unit sales (a straight up miracle when fighting off Nintendo) can't even sell something with the words "Star Wars" in the title :(

    I don't want fewer but tougher enemies, I want more but weaker enemies! All the force-resistant enemies in the first game were just annoying to fight and negated the purpose of you being a supposedly all-powerful badass. I wanna hack through Stormtroopers by the dozens with a more realistic approach to what a lightsaber actually does when it makes contact with human beings.

    Personally I've had it with Star Wars games. I bought Lego SW - the Complete Saga for the humor and because it took place during the films chronology. I don't care much for the expanded universe canon and the "be a jedi/sith and swing a pretty and shiny lightsaber" focus of most of the SW of the last decade. I miss the old  X-Wing and Tie Fighter games.

    I love geeking out when chopping some dude in half with a lightsaber. Not only that but I liked the first force unleashed game. The story line was not the best star wars tale that I had ever seen, it was better than episode one. Fact!

    The demo of the first was too gamey with the power-ups in the level and then I heard "reskinned enemies" in reviews so it was a pass. Let me know if they fix both for the sequel.

    Hate to sound like a fanboy or somethin' dirty like that, but this is pretty silly universe-wise. Why clone him when you could just... you know... get a new secret apprentice and train him better this time...? Oh well, I enjoyed the first one and hope this one is better in more ways than one.

    The only good thing from the first one was the story and the music.
     
    That's as much as I will expect from this.
