When you hear the name Star Wars, there are a few things that come to mind.
One's thought process should include betrayal, revenge, clones, dual light sabers, force powers, epic battles, Jedi and Sith.
These and more are what players await in "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II," released Oct. 26 to game consoles across the nation.
So far, the game has earned GameSpot's "E3 2010 People's Choice" winning limelight.
Picking up from the delicate ending of "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed," the story begins in the Clone factories of Kamino.
Darth Vader tells artificial Starkiller: "You are a shadow of your former self" and that his recent dreams are the nightmares of the original Starkiller, who supposedly died at the end of the first game.
Starkiller suddenly has another dream of Darth Vader stabbing his former self which makes him fight his way off the planet to find himself, his friends and Juno Eclipse, the woman he loves.
Throughout the game, familiar faces from the Star Wars saga make guest appearances such as Jedi Master Yoda, Princess Leia and Boba Fett.
Although the game is good, it still has some minor flaws.
The duration of the game is short-lived and can be completed in about a day.
Secondly, some of the controls need a minor fixing, such as the jumping.
Despite those issues, the game has improved from its predecessor.
The visuals look sharper and force powers are enhanced along with new ones to use such as Mind Trick, which is really fun to use. There are also new enemies to fight along with suspenseful jumping.
Although the story is short and is left open on both the light and dark side endings, there will be downloadable content available at a later time to continue the story.
This is a must buy for all Star Wars fans and gamers alike. It is available on PS3, XBOX 360, Wii, PC, DS and PSP.
