Zero Punctuation: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

This week Yahtzee reviews Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II
Tymbrwulfsays...

I really liked Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II.

My brothers and I would play it through LAN against each other, so it's probably just the fond memories and nostalgia.

Movie games are just bastardizations anyway - They shouldn't be taken as "Part of The overall Story" - Ever.
Most Movie Games are never good enough to be games and rest on the merits of the movie itself - so why would anyone be shocked that this one would be any different!

Most of the games you see out there from Disney - for example - are the same game with different graphics to reflect the new movie they're promoting and parents let their kids buy this crap.

I tell my kids - if it's a spin off a movie - don't buy it. Buy it only if it was a video game first!

There are exceptions... For example, the grapevine says that the Chronicles of Riddick game was actually pretty good. What this means is that the awesomeness of a movie and it's associated game and vice versa can never be above a certain limit (the Uwe Boll quotient). This explains why games based on good movies suck so hard, and also explains why the Mario Bros. movie was just abysmal and why the Resident Evil movies were rather disappointing.

Yeah, Star Wars is over. J.J. Abrams made Star Trek cool again.


Ah you must not have gotten the memo.

Abram's Star Trek was fucking terrible! The dude that played Kirk couldn't act for his life. And Spock was an emo brat.



.. and Yatzee there were a lot of great Star Wars games but because you got into gaming like 6 years ago you missed almost all of them.

I don't think anyone got that memo. But that's because I'm pretty sure that memo was only circulated at the offices of Douchebag, Douchebag and Contrarian.

How could he leave out the Jedi Knight series?! Jesus christ! Those were the best Star Wars games ever made!

I'll never forget the lightsaber fights in the last two (Jedi Academy and I can't remember the one before that).

CONSOLE NOOB!!!!!!!

Edit: Also: the Resident Evil movies were worse than disappointing. Look at this crap excuse for a zombie! http://www.best-horror-movies.com/images/resident-evil-zombie-small.jpg

It looks more like a guy with a bad hairlip and a staph infection.

Also, did I mention that the Jedi Knight series on the PC kicked major ass?
