Kima plays The Force Unleashed 2

Thought I might do one of these myself.

So the game starts out with Vader popping by Kamino to check up on his latest Starkiller clone. After being deemed defective on account of being a whiny bitch, Starkiller escapes into what is basically an extended version of the demo. As with that demo, Starkiller escapes in Vader's TIE Advanced and heads off to Cato Neimoida, where Vader revealed General Kota is. I would like to point out that while the TIE Advanced does have a hyperdrive system, it does NOT have a life support system. Apparently Starkiller can breathe in space... that or some bullshit like "the Force sustained him." Also, he apparently took a detour to do some shopping along the way, seeing as how he has a completely different costume by the time he reaches Cato; I somehow get the impression that Vader doesn't exactly keep spare clothes stashed away in the glove compartment.

Now, on to Cato. Starkiller completely wastes the opportunity to waste the local commander/governor/moff guy, simply blocking his guard's laser bolts instead of shoving all of them off the very narrow landing platform. So not only is he whiny, he's daft. Great. Anyhow, I fought my way into a casino before I got bored and stopped. Yup. I got bored halfway through the SECOND LEVEL! That's not a good sign, especially given how much I liked the original.

This will be the shortest playthrough topic ever.

Part of what made the first one was the story - without the narrative, there's very little to drive the second game on.

Okay, what the fuck? I'm ALREADY at Level Six... out of NINE? What a fucking cash-in! It's not even a fun cash-in, either! When it's not dull, it's annoying! I'm willing to replay virtually every level of the original over again, but this? I don't want to replay anything of this! As soon as I'm done my initial playthrough, I'm trading this sucker in!

Anyhow, I fight my way to Kota's fight in the arena and best the big bad monster of the week. The baron guy gets eaten by said monster in a very uninspired "karmic death" thing. Leaving Cato, Kota acts like a douche and Starkiller heads off to Dagobah. What I'd like to know is how the heck he knew the coordinates to the system, seeing as how he'd never heard of the place before, yet you see him punching it in right after Kota mentions it offhand. Damn lazy writers...

Anyhow, Dagobah, or as I like to call it, Holocrons In A Handbasket. Don't challenge me too much now, game. Yoda makes a pointless cameo, Starkiller gets the narmiest cave vision ever (seriously, was the entrapped "help me" clones supposed to be scary?), and learns of the attack on Juno's ship. AND YET HE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!

I stopped as soon as I regained control. I can only take so much stupid at once.

Wasn't the entire point that he was head over heels in love with Juno?

He does go and help her though(like an obsessed fruitcake I might add).

Anyway I'll probably play through this again sometime on the Unleashed difficulty(I already did the last part on that mode too when I wanted to get the DS ending) so I can platinum it, most likely when I nab the Endor DLC. The gameplay didn't bother me that much. Maybe I was supercharged up on Christmas cheer which made me so hardcore that I blasted through any potentially annoying/difficult parts like the badass I am.

I think the one bit that bothered me a little though was when I was stuck in that hanger facing all those large droids, dark Jedi and stormtroopers together. You really had to focus and not rush during that segment.
