Force Unleashed 2 Trailer: The Apprentice Betrayed

Posted in by Kenneth Newquist on Mon, 06/14/2010 - 4:30am

I enjoyed the The Force Unleashed (both the video game and the rpg campaign guide even though I didn't get very far in it. I'm playing the Wii version, which has some very cool interactive controls, which I promptly forget everything I stop playing for more than a week. The purist in me finds the raw power of Vader's Apprentice disconcerting -- he far outstrips the other Jedi and Sith we've seen -- but at the same time there's an undeniable thrill to carving your way through a battalion of storm troopers.

The trailer for The Force Unleashed 2 ups the power level considerably, with the Apprentice hacking and slashing his way through Imperial troops and droids alike. It also reveals the answer as to why the Apprentice is still in the land of the living (and provides fodder for near-endless sequels...)

Wow - amazing trailer. Can't wait for this one. Really enjoyed the first, flaws aside. With a little more polish (which hopefully they've had time for this go-round), this could really be something!

Yeah, it is pretty damn cool. I think I'll play it on the Xbox this time; the controls with the Wii were fun BUT the graphics on the 360 are much, much better.
