On Page 12 of the GamePro review, they hint that- "We're actually talking to the ESRB about some stuff that we want to do with the lightsaber to make it really feel more like a lightsaber and much more visceral - without violating any ESRB policies, of course." "Like what?" I ask. " I can't tell you right now, but it's definitely nastier than anything we did last time."
Sounds like de-limbing to me!

Read the Gamepro article. I know I just sound like I'm a hater but damn does the story sound stupid and convolted. Starkiller is a clone of multiple clones and he still has feeling for Juno and now he turns on Vader again and all this is happening only a year before A New Hope. Ugh. On the bright side, it sounds like the lightsaber won't just be a big stick anymore.

There's plenty of information out there on how SW canon is handled, an earlier post already addressed it.Willy105 said:

I had a great time with the first one so I'll certainly take a look at this...but yeah...no new Jedi Knight ever 
This just in, Wii version being developed by Red Fly, same guys behind Wii versions of Ghostbusters and Mushroom man (i think)
Wii version also supports 4-player multiplayer, probably offline multiplayer. No talk about Motion+ support.
Again, no talk about motion plus support.
None.
After 4 years of wii, Lucasarts still has nothing to say about a proper lightsaber game.

Wasn't Red Fly's Cook or be Cooked M+ supported?
What I'm curious about as well is if this is related to that Beat-em-up they were shown to be working on for the Wii?

Lack of motion+ and red fly at the helm deflates most interest for me in this version.
Let's hope that Lucasarts does make that proper lightsaber game for Wii soon with the emergence of Move and Natal to provide additional platforms for ports.

Hahahahaha...none of the versions will support good motion controls. Devs are just too lazy to implement them

Agreed. Red Steel 2 really showed the way forward for using both motion+ sword fighting and pointer controls at the same time. This control scheme could be perfectly applied to lightsaber combat and force powers, respectively. I think we'll have to wait a while longer, however, before that comes to fruition in the SW universe.
I hope that at least red fly uses pointer controls for force powers as they did in mushroom men. That's the only hope I have for them doing this port. That and not doing this with some awful cartoony art-style, what an awful decision for GB Wii.

Multiplayer? Hmmm...
I enjoyed the first one, I just hope this one doesn't screw the story around too much. :/

According to GiantBomb, the force unleashed 2 is coming to every system except psp. Does this mean it's gonna be on psp2 but they just can't announce it yet? Cause it certainly doesn't make sense not to have a psp version.

Though, taking the lightsaber aside..what would Motion Plus add to the game? (seriously, I'm clueless )
Because the first one was fast paced, quick action game that had you shooting lightning pushing or pulling enemies..and using the lightsaber..and some misc. weapon you had..or as a combo finisher like.. "electrocute an enemy..run to it, slash it"..or "pull and enemy then hit it and go for the homerun"..
So, what would the; more precise Motion Plus add to it?..without drastically changing the core game that much... not including the lightsaber?

What a shitty collectors edition. Where's the soundtrack or a hardcover art book? The only thing that looks cool is the fantastic steelbook packaging.

Why are they showing the CE already?
Do we even have gameplay yet?

We may be seeing the CE version now because they feel confident in that they'll get many sold. I for one am contemplating this strongly considering I still can't find a copy of the sith edition of the previous game.

Yeah...why no collector's edition for the Wii version? This is the kind of thing that makes people avoid Wii games. It just doesn't get the same treatment as the other systems. Even if they didn't include the extra USB, the art book and such should be available.

I hope it does well...there is no way that they can make a third one of these right? I mean eventually they'll have to turn to something that could be similar...and that would be Jedi Knight

REACH OUT WITH THE FORCE AND GRAB THAT DESTROYER!!!!!. x50
I agree that Lightsabers feel weak,
but melee weapons in Video Games are almost always weak.
It's no excuse though.
After playing the Demo, I put it to Easy, just to make the Lightsaber feel a little more powerful.
The Demo demonstrated that this was a crap Star Wars game.
Jedi Academy wasn't that great,
Though online Lightsaber battles were pretty entertaining.

What? Jedi Academy was fantastic in singleplayer gameplay wise. The story was pretty atrocious, but they combat was just fucking great and made it totally worth it. They had great variety with the level design as well. No, it wasn't as good as JK2, but it was still really damn good.MutFox said:
