I got to play this for about 10 minutes last month at Celebration V on PS3.  The combat flow is a little bit smoother than the first game.  The combos are great, as you can see the body parts fall off as you attack and the storm troopers will try to keep attacking without a hand or leg (kinda Holy Grail like).

Amped up force powers makes this feel less like SW and more like GOW on steroids. I thought Anakin or Yoda was the most powerful Jedi... they were never able to wield the force like this. 
 
Also, I hope they fix the really annoying boss fights from the first one! Less quick time events please!

I'm really looking forward to this game. I, for one, liked the first.

Force Resistant enemies AGAIN? Didn't they realise that everyone hated the shit out of that in the first game?
 
The added dismemberment is a nice touch, but the fact that it doesn't slice immediately is still a bummer to me. They're claiming the lightsaber is no longer a baseball bat, but if it still takes 5 or 6 hits for me to kill a lowly Stormtrooper, that's still a baseball bat. I want them cut in half the second I touch them, y'know, like a lightsaber should.

Despite its flaws, I enjoyed playing the first game. I think I'll enjoy this one too.

I get more excited about this game with every new video they put out. It looks really cleaned up.  I just hope they've cleaned up character movement and the ragdolling your character did everytime you got knocked down.

I didn't said  that TFU was good. I said it was enjoyable, mainly storywise. Also it was the only star wars action game that pc gamers had since jedi academy.

Eh, video not working? Shame, was looking forward to seeing this. Guess it's off to Gametrailers for me right now... 
 
Hoping the game (more specifically, the PC versions) turns out alright - the first one was a lot of fun and had a decent story, regardless of the myriad of issues it suffered from so here's hoping they really expand on it. The DLC levels in the ultimate sith edition were much improved in terms of level design and pacing so I'm confident that the team definitely learned from their mistakes first time around.

How about you also have HD videos?! 
Also, it's that dude from Dexter who was pretending to be a Serial Killer! Is he also pretending to be a powerful Jedi?

@Landon:  
I absolutely agree with you that the plot of the first game was pure gold for a Star Wars nerd like myself. Seeing the Rebellion actually form and get "declared" was an incredible moment, but at the same time, I'm not positive it needed a sequel. Starkiller died helping the Rebellion live, bringing him back as "a clone" who once again gets betrayed by Vader DOES seem kinda cheap. And I've said it before, but having the light sabers behave more like batons than blades is still incredibly aggravating. 
That said, I'm definitely going to check this out, I'd be crazy not to.

I am really disappointed with all the hate this game is receiving here.
Ruining the franchise.
A quick buck.
Lazy evolutions.
The Force Unleashed was a game I came to love over time. Yes the combat wasn't perfect, yes it was glitchy and a bit janky in some spots, but the story was great! It nicely tied the end of the prequels into the originals perfectly. Starkiller was a cool and interesting character. The euphoria physics made for some awesome (and sometimes hilarious) battles.
 
Maybe it is just me. Maybe after that game came out, I was the only one who wanted to see another Force Unleashed game. I guess I'll just go wait patiently in the corner until the game comes out.

" Following the lazy Star Wars game tradition of "improving" combat by adding a second lightsaber. Still hate what this game is doing to the Star Wars continuity. At this point Lucas might as well remake the OT with Hayden Cristiansen and Natalie Portman as Luke and Leia and burn the original negatives, just to drive off what little fans of his good movies he has left.
