force unleashed 2 demo was released

It was quietly released apparently, as I've seen no thread or talks here. Anyway it's been out since the 12th and I'm downloading now. I'm hoping for some sort of Assassin's Creed effect here, where the sequel is worlds better than the original.

Exactly the comparison I made when I played it. It may only be a demo, but the demo felt WAY better than the first game felt. By far. The first game was just terrible.

I played the demo also - I enjoyed it, but I also enjoyed the first game (I purchased it for $5 though, so that had something to do with it.)

I do have this one preordered though, I wish they'd have multiplayer though.
 
I had fun with the demo and just got the first one used over the weekend because of it. I'm new to this style of game so it's not too bad since I don't have anything to compare it too.
 
I really enjoyed the first one and am extremely excited about playing this one. Game is just plain old simple, fun. Hack n Slash the way I like it.
 
I loved the first game; I would like to know why you guys thought it was so bad. That was my first console game played since the NES, though, so I may have just not known any better.

For me, it was fairly boring and too short. It wasn't as bad as some people claim, but it wasn't as good as it could be. My biggest problem was that you have a lightsaber, but it acted more like a baton in that it took MANY hits to get rid of enemies. A lightsaber should be a one hit kill for an unshielded human.

Now with this demo it looks like they moved more towards that. The standard stormtroopers go down like nothing, and there are other troopers with large light poles that block sabers. All of that makes sense and helps part of what was wrong w/ the first one.

I also thought the story was really stupid w/ the forced love interest.

Makes sense. Honestly, I think I was very forgiving with the first game because, like I said, it was my first console game since the NES so I was assuming it would have the typical failures of some console games (short story, simply gameplay, etc.). I guess I felt it was pretty cool for what it was, but it was no Jedi Knight that's for sure.

I have to read a few reviews first. I can't believe the high scores for Assassin's Creed II. The first one was ambitious but boring.
hmmmm, it's 29 bucks retail, might have to pick one up from CL used. Might pick up a kick ass game for 20 bucks or so....hmmmmmm.

Here's my thoughts on Assassin's Creed: they spent so much time making sure it looked good and the animations were so solid that they ran out of time to make a game out of it. With the engine, animations and controls done they had all the time in the world to actually make the 2nd one a GAME and not just a tech demo. But seriously, the 2nd one is so much better than the 1st that it's not fair to really compare them.

I've been meaning to pick up the 2nd. I bought the first cheap from Steam during one of their sales but never finished it. It was fun, but after awhile just got dull; and I really didn't like using a gamepad on the PC. I think I'd much prefer 2 on my PS3, and I've heard you really don't need to have played through the first one to enjoy the second so I may just read the plot summary on wikipedia.
 
Tried the demo - it's a lot of fun! Controls are easier. The troopers die so cool! 😀 You cut their limbs off or vaporize them or do all other crazy stuff! Feels a lot better than the first game (which I also enjoyed, it was an OK game).

As a side note, holy sh!t... My Falcon Elite is so loud! I didn't turn it on for a few months now and when I did I was like OUCH! No way I'm gonna game on this pos. The whining took half of the fun from some of the demos I ran just now. Getting SWTFU2 for my PC anyway.
 
I didn't notice any slowdown on the PS3 either.

For the first game, the flaws really came to light when playing on the hardest difficulty. It was just not a fun game then.
