It’s a little odd, but keep in mind this is the era when even TV shows like Home Improvement had video game adaptations with out of place enemies.
It tracks the plot of A New Hope pretty closely, but also takes some pretty big liberties, like adding levels where Luke fights giant scorpions and infiltrates a Jawa Sandcrawler. Super Star Wars is a bit of an oddity compared to later Star Wars games. And it’s been free-to-play for years now, so there’s no reason to skip over it. The type of commitment required for an MMO isn’t for every gamer, but for those gamers who really want to feel like they’re living in a galaxy far, far away, there’s no better option. What it is, however, is an MMO that takes its story very seriously.
The Old Republic is not Knights of the Old Republic III, and some gamers will never get over that. It’s just too bad we’ll never get to see how the planned sequel would have turned out.
But The Force Unleashed II is still a beautiful game to behold, and there’s something extremely satisfying about tearing into stormtroopers with Force lightning and dual-wielded lightsabers. Hopes were high for the sequel, but unfortunately it still faltered in many ways – primarily with a silly story about being a clone that lasts all of three hours. The first Force Unleashed was a fun but flawed game.
