Starkiller was the ultimate gunslinger, riding into town and taking names (even the ones unpronounceable by human tongues). Star Wars has been called both a space western and a space opera, and in The Force Unleashed, writer/producer Haden Blackman managed to capture both sensibilities in one crackling game. Sadly, this follow-up fails to learn from the things that made its predecessor great in spite of the flaws.
The sequel was supposed to learn from those mistakes. The original game got a bum rap because of that Sisyphean boss fight and other missteps like it, not to mention an abundance of small technical glitches. Say this for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II: there is no pull-the-Star-Destroyer-out-of-the-sky moment.
