Do you really need to ask? "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" happened to be the best non-LEGO Star Wars game since, well, ever, and now the developers have got together and created a better-looking and feeling sequel; no small feat considering the original got a 4.5/5 here. If you're wondering just how Starkiller can be alive given his (SPOILERS!) sacrifice to build the Rebel Alliance in the canonical ending of the original, don't worry: the sequel's protagonist isn't so sure why he's alive either. Darth Vader is back, too, and claims that this version of Starkiller is a failed clone, but another returnee, General Rahm Kota, claims that it's impossible to clone a warrior as powerful as "The Apprentice". Unsure about his past or the reason for his revival, Starkiller goes on a hunt to find out the truth and seek his love, Juno Eclipse, and will travel to cloning facilites, Imperial bars, Dagobah (yes, we're going to see Yoda before Luke does in Episode 5!) and darker places still to go about his goals. Game-play wise, targeting and the general camera angle are being improved for a more refined (and hopefully 5/5) Star Wars experience, plus you'll be given new powers like an enhanced Force Push/Pull and Jedi Mind Trick (these are not the droids you're looking for), and the chance to pilot vehicles like a Tie Fighter and engage in some epic boss battles (but less than the 1st game, as they became rather overpowering later on). "Force Unleashed II" is out on October 28th, and is simply begging for approval by critics and fans given its improved graphics, game-play and (we hope) lifespan.
