When will the force really unleash?

4 out of 5 starsScore: 80/100

 The game has addictive combat and the graphics are very amazing. The cutscenes feel like they are ripped straight from a Star Wars movie and the voice action and character animation is amazing. A huge step up from the last game. The boss battles are epic and on a large scale. The game also has some of the most epic scenes I've seen in a game.

On the down side the game is very short. About 5 to 6 hours long. That seems to have become the average length for games now days. I've also read a lot of reviews that complain about the story. The story isn't very integral to the main story of the films, it's a more personall story about the main character although it does explain how the empire loses their cloning ability. Yoda and Boba Fett make appearences but only in cutscenes. 

Although the game is short it does have a lot of replay value if you're a star wars fan. Plus there are 13 challenges (If you get the collectors edition. 10 in the normal) that add plenty of replay value.

Overall the game is great and a lot of fun. The game looks much better than the first and I enjoy playing it more than the first. If the short length bothers you then its just a rental but if you're a Star Wars fan its definatly worth the purchase.
