Star Wars: Force Unleashed 2 – Endor Campaign
PS3 / X-Box 360
Star Wars: Force Unleashed 2 was a very mixed game. On one hand it looked very nice, gave players the chance to wield the Force and proved easy to pick up & play. On the other hand, it was very short, the storyline did not resolve anything and the promised guest appearances (Yoda / Boba Fett) lasted as long as a fat guy on a diet in McDonalds.
To make up for this, Lucas has given us an Endor add-on pack (available for download from your consoles online store) for under £1.
The Endor campaign (2 levels that are about as long as 1 level from the main game) takes place in an alternative universe, where our hero (Starkiller) has gone all evil and Sith. Lucas has taken great lengths to point out that this is an alternative universe, because its obvious there is going to be a Force Unleashed 3, where Starkiller will once again be a hero. Lucas loves 3’s. 3 original films, 3 prequel films, 3 kids and probably 3 partners (2 are locked up on his ranch in Princess Leia bikinis, re-enacting the Jabba scene from Return of the Jedi).
Just looking at the storyline and fans can see that things are looking up. Playing as an all powerful Sith on the forest moon of Endor, against…Ewoks! Yep, Ewoks. Those furries little monkeys from “Return of the Jedi” that got many a Star Wars fans undies in a twist (until Jar Jar came along, then everyone jumped onto that bad wagon). I won’t ruin the story of the Endor campaign; however I will say you get to kick Ewoks in the face.
Graphically, the DLC (down load content) looks the same as Force Unleashed 2 (as you would expect), which makes Endor look amazing. Sadly, its not sandbox, so limited routes and no running off to find more Ewok camps.
Lucas has done fans well, a great piece of DLC, with a good storyline and all for under £1.
