It was the weirdest thing. On the first day of PAX, I marched down to the LucasArts area of the show floor to check out The Force Unleashed 2. While I was down there, I had a chance meeting with a developer from Red Fly, the studio responsible for the Wii version of the game. We chatted about how the Wii version of Ghostbusters looked better than the PS3/360 version, some of the games we grew up with, all sorts of stuff. I wanted to do some video with him, but LucasArts politely declined.

I came back two days later, and the guy from Red Fly was gone, but there were new LucasArts representatives all over the place. These new guys were all for doing some video. I went for it, but I ended up talking about the guy from Red Fly pretty much the whole time. Hope they didn't feel unloved.

As for the game, it was pretty cool. Sadly, we ran out of room on the SD Card, so there is a lot we didn't get to show you; including four-player Vs.-mode, more of the highly interactive environments, and many of the highly violent special moves. Some of the fighters have some pretty interesting techniques. Asajj Ventress can cloud the minds of her enemies, reversing their controls, Vader has the force choke, that sort of stuff. For a free add-on, The Force Unleashed 2 versus mode is pretty rad.

HD Smash Bros? Hell, why not.

Also, dual lightsabers are awesome.

Anything is good with two of them.

Swords, penises, tumours... the list is endless.

@ Masterballs

I think this is exclusive to the Wii version.

I always thought LucasArts should have made a full fledged Star Wars Smash Bros. clone. I was rather disappointed with the first Force Unleashed, but this puts the sequel on my radar.

Oh, come on! Really? Another franchise riding the coattails of Smash Bros.? Can't Lucas Arts just make their own money??

Please, would someone take this rotting carcass out the room.
There hasn't been a quality star wars production since 1980.
Ok, the flight sims and Kotor weren't absolute shit.

Since it is exclusive to the Wii version, I have no problem in stating that the versus mode is pointless when Smash Bros. exists, does the same things, and much better. I had it in my hands and it's a clunky and unresponsive mess. The life meters take far too long to drain. Hitting people with sabers is often a matter of luck, and fights ultimately boil down to whoever gets their hands on the "special" pickups first and can spam them ad nauseum.

This being exclusive to the Wii is pretty much the worse news ever. It looks so fun, and I've no idea why it wouldn't be on the Xb360/PS3. Idiotic move from Lucasarts.

Genius move... they'll probably sell you the multiplayer after release for 800 points...
