The Star Wars franchise is easily one of the biggest merchandising machines ever invented. Countless books have followed its success, and for every character that has appeared on screen, Hasbro have turned around and made a toy. Out of the dozens of games that have been set in the Star Wars universe, the story of an anti-hero secret apprentice to Darth Vader blew fans away. A sharp, 3D action game set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, The Force Unleashed was the closest thing to becoming a Jedi. Two years later, does the sequel have the same impact that the original had? Don’t bet on it.
