I found the story line frustrating because I had no choice in the decisions that my character made until the very end.\u00a0 He consistently did things that in an RPG I would not have done. But, since this just an action adventure title I was stuck just playing through the story.\u00a0 There are still too many jumping and quick time events for my tastes.\u00a0 Just let me attack the large boss enemies and don&#8217;t make it be a stupid quick time even to kill them. When you are just fighting storm troopers the game is fun.\u00a0 The force powers and the\u00a0 combos that use end with using the force are really nice.\u00a0 Unfortunately, a lot of the times you get a couple storm troopers and then a mini-boss instead of large groups of fun enemies. If you enjoyed the first SW:TFU then the sequel is probably worth a rent. Just don&#8217;t get your hopes up to high.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After enjoying the demo for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 I was very disappointed with the full game.\u00a0 First off, it was short, like 6 hours short.\u00a0 There were only 5 missions.\u00a0 A couple of them are fairly lengthy but still 5 missions is not much.\u00a0 SW:TFU2 could easily be a $20 expansion to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6],"tags":[7,170,5],"class_list":["post-1000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-xbox-360","tag-review","tag-star-wars-the-force-unleashed-2","tag-video-game"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/andymerrill.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/andymerrill.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/andymerrill.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/andymerrill.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/andymerrill.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1000"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/andymerrill.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1000\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/andymerrill.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/andymerrill.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/andymerrill.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
