An enjoyable power fantasy at times with a mid at best story!

The first game isn't amazing or anything but it at least was a decent one off. This however just feels so uninspired and like an elongated DLC. It feels both too long and too short simultaneously. The boss fights just drag on to the point of boredom and while the gameplay and graphics are fine the level design just feels mundane.

Also while I like how you can actually decapitate Stormtroopers in this which makes the lightsabers feel accurate to the films I hate how OP Starkiller is. Its like he's super saiyan and an anime character or something. It becomes a parody in this game and I'm so sick to death of Vader being defeated by so many force users between the events of Episodes 3 & 4. It just takes away the intimidation factor of his character. Also, Sam Witwer overacts his ass off. It gets really annoying how he just shouts all his dialogue.

Go into this for some decent gameplay but the story feels like a "What If?" non canon follow-up because as a sequel to the first game its quite underwhelming.
