4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent but Short November 2, 2010

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

I enjoyed the first game very much. It did have its errors here and there but was a blast to play with a great story.

This sequel is excellent but very short. At first I didn't like it nearly as much as I liked the first game but after playing a few levels I started to really enjoy the overall new format/layout. The lightsaber fighting was a bit more fun than the first even though the absence of being able to find and use lightsaber hilts was slightly disappointing (perhaps in the next installment they will let you build your own hilt). Controlling the camera views was much easier and the force powers were simpler to activate/control.

The graphics were much better and the level construction was sharper. My only complaint is that the game is too short. I thought I was about halfway done with it and then it ended (perhaps this feeling was stronger because the first game was decently long!). If you like the first game and are willing to be a bit open I think you will enjoy this one. Keep in mind I played this game on the Wii.

I have yet to explore multiplayer. Can't wait!

3.0 out of 5 stars Was this a demo? October 31, 2010

Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   

At the point the credits rolled I figured I was 1/4 to 1/3 of the way through the game at most. Way too short; where's the rest of the game I paid for? The graphics are good, as was the game play, but they took out a lot of the force combos and you can't control the lightsaber with the wii remote- you just hit the 'a' button to strike and shake randomly to do combos. Fun, but dumbed down and over too quickly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Game! November 1, 2010

I've only played this for a few hours but it is a vast improvement over the first version with respect to graphics, story and game play. If you own the first version, the controls are a bit different but the first level guides you through the new controls.

Regardless if you are a fan of Star Wars, this is a great game that is both challenging and fun to play.
