Your meter slowly builds up as you slay thousand’s upon thousand’s of hapless Stormtroopers during your journey to save Juno and, when full, you can unleash some wicked Jedi powers.Ĭombat is now more fluid, meaning less of a reliance on force powers, due to the fact that Starkiller is a master with his dual sabers. The Force ‘Rage’ mode is like any other game’s crazy mode.
You can now grapple enemies for a quick and enjoyable death sequence. The game now injects your force powers into combos which helps make gameplay easier. Gameplay is way more enjoyable this time around and has evolved in a few ways. Need proof? Go shock a jet-pack trooper and watch as he swirls about the screen, grasping for dear life.

Lucasarts wisely added some slick motion-blur effects to every attack as Starkiller now looks like an authentic Jedi this time around, quickly slashing the arms and limbs off of every stormtrooper in sight, instantly cauterizing their wounds in the process. The way he controls and ‘paints’ the screen with his dual lightsabers is a thing of beauty. Unlike the first game, Starkiller’s character model looks fantastic and is detailed to the last fold in his mighty Jedi robes.
