After searching several discussion boards and forum posts, I found out that it is an issue with the PC port of the game and how videos are accessed and run by the game.
What I realized halfway through this series of five stages on Cato Neimoidia, was that there was supposed to be a cinematic showing the events between levels.
What happened to me was that Starkiller ran up to the Tie Fighter, then it cut to him being on a new planet with a completely different ecosystem and color palette, although surrounded by the same type of Stormtroopers as at Kamino. After the first stage was complete, Starkiller ends up stealing Darth Vader's Tie Fighter.
The only real challenge that I came across was when you start going up against Sith Acolytes, especially when they are combined with AT-STs and their other variants, otherwise, you are just wailing away on plastic-encased meatpuppets who act as a mere inconvenience who give you live and experience points as you fight your way through the various stages.Īnd as fun as the game was, it certainly did not start off that way. And I feel like this is where TFU2 excels and feels the best, but the one downside is that throughout my time playing, it did the fighting Stromtrooper after identical Stormtrooper did get a little weary. Mowing down whole platoons of Stormtroopers with dual-wielded lightsabers, throwing Stormtroopers off the side of already precarious walkways to the rolling ocean below, and zapping Jumptroopers then hearing them scream as their packs overload and they go flying off like a smoking lightning-induced grenade is what the dark side of the force is all about. When everything clicks, the fighting in this game is still a lot of fun. Upon escaping, TFU2 is back to its old ways of running through stages, killing Stormtrooper after Stormtrooper, absorbing their life force in the form of glowing green orbs and replenishing your force powers by way of glowing blueish/whiteish orbs you know, like in the God of War series.Īnd you know, one of the things that I feel still absolutely works in this game despite being a little more than somewhat broken (at least on my computer, which I already recognize is a couple of years past its prime), is that I still feel like an absolute badass who kind of knows what they are doing.
You run through a quick tutorial stage before Starkiller going apeshit and breaking out of what essentially is his holding cell.I honestly do not remember even though it was only fewer than 5 hours of gameplay, something to do with not wanting to do Darth Vader's bidding and coming to terms with the fact that you are being told that you are in fact a clone on life's fast track. I was greeted with a cutscene Darth Vader arriving on Kamino to check on the status of the new version of his cloned apprentice Starkiller (Galen Marek from the first STAR WARS™: The Force Unleashed™). So the game loaded fine and started without any significant issues. I started the game like any other I have on Steam and figured that because I played the first game with the Xbox 360 controller, it would make sense to return to that way of playing.
