I gotta say, i'm quite impressed with the demo. The graphics engine has done a major overhaul, the combat is very fluid and the production values are superb. Honestly, the game seems quite solid from what i experienced in the demo, but ofc i have to wait for the full game to judge fully :P

what do you guys, those who tried it, think of it?

loved it, great combat, great graphics, superb animations.

i hope the story isn't as bad as that demo gives the impression, it feels way too forced.

terrible writing though, Darth Vader at one point actually EXPLAINED himself to the starkiller, he doesn't do that. they should have gone within a different realm of the universe rather than keep tying it within the main lore. the first force unleashed was satisfactory enough with its ending.

I really liked the demo, it was fun. Aslong as there is more to the game/combat I will buy it, but if it is just the demo for 8hrs, I will pass. We will see, so far I liked it

oh yea, i found that kind of weird. then yea i hope they flesh out the story and narrative better in the full version. Voice Acting was awesome tho :)

Wow, just played the demo and it very so much better than the first game. I'm kind of impressed and I thought combat would be kind of lame like the first game.

I just played it, thought it was great. I never played throught TFU, only the demo of that game, but I think the differences in visuals are huge enough. And I like how this game lets you link combos between force powers, don't know if the first one had it though.

TOR looks fine, it will be optimized for a wide range of computers. graphics is the 11th most important thing when creating an MMO.

I haven't been able to try the demo yet, but I won't be buying this one after the rip off that was the first. (I enjoyed the game, but beat it in 6 hours then spent another 2 collecting everything).

I thought it was a big improvment of the first in graphics and gameplay. Also the dismemberment is very nice.

Wow, did I play a different demo? It was just as mindless and boring as the first. I like the dismemberment (one of my larger grips with the first one), but still, it's like playing dynasty warriors in space...

Yea with the graphics turned to Ultra, TOR will look fine....just how WoW looked GOOD when it was turned up very high, but ToR is also going to play on older computers which is a win/win situation when it comes to MMO's.

It's ok but I notice some improvements over the 1st. Looks to be no lower than 7.5 at least.

It seems like an improvement over the original (or at least, what I remember from TFU1's demo) with the action being much smoother, but still all-flash, no-substance.

I didn't have a problem with the story. What I gathered from the demo at least. As for the gameplay, it's leaps and bounds over the first game. I wasn't a fan of the first game's combat.

Huh. I only played the demo of Force Unleashed, but I don't remember having this much fun with it.

If there's some decent variety to this, it could actually be awesome.

I really enjoyed it. I mean, I'm a big Star Wars nerd anyway, and loved the first game because the story was so great, but I'm really glad to see that they fixed most everything that prevented me from loving the original's gameplay. It looks, plays, and runs better. Can't wait... though I'm also picking up Fable 3.

yeah i was shocked by how good the graphics looked, really a big improvement. the force powers seem a bit more fun. i just think that they were all ready levelled up for the demo, in the full game, you probably will only get that level after hours of play. the only other things that bothers me is that i dislike games with tons of combos to remember.sts106mat
Well, the combos are fairly intuitive at least.

The demo was a lot of fun, however it feels like they took some cues from God of War (increased gore, good graphics, falling down a building over a great distance, stormtroopers that closely resemble GOW's Satyrs, etc) which is fine BUT if you are going to mimic God of War you better make your combat just as good/fun. I mean sure, I can grab a guy with the Force and throw him 100 feet into a wall, or I could kill baddies with the force push, or I could kill them with my lightning fingas, but at the end of the day I want to be able to do MORE with the lightsabers. With God of War it is SO much fun just using his regular weapon to take out people, with heavy attacks, regular attacks, grabbing guys and taking them out in the worst ways, WHERE is that in Force Unleashed?! The combat feels so scripted and bland whereas in GOW it is at least less predictable and extremely satisfying. I should be able to take my lightsabers and just slice through guys like we see with Raiden in Metal Gear Solid Rising, only it's a lightsaber so it should be 100 times cooler, AND we should be battling like 20-30 stormtroopers at a time just making them into Sushi. How come I just have to mash the square button to use my lightsabers? Why don't I have a crazy heavy attack except at the end of a cutscene? The lightsaber attacks in these Star Wars games have just gotten more and more boring over time in my opinion, and if they are going to take some cues from GOW why not try to make everything just over the top like we see in GOW? Plus, using the force still feels a bit clunky. Last night I wanted to grab a storm trooper that was infront of me and instead the game locked onto a box that was behind me and out of the camera's view. I almost think this game needs a cover system AND should rely much more on stealth so we can be like a REAL JEDI and use some strategy to take out our foes. I really think they are moving in the right direction...but they are still a bit away from making a game that everyone must have.

Got it on pre-order, I think I'll save myself for the full game. Glad to hear most of you like it though.

I thought it was okay. I honestly think the original felt better. It's hard to describe... And I just don't really dig the graphics as much. Things look too soft... I dunno. It was alright though. Nothing amazing or much different from the original.

This demo was very much like the original. Your powers seem much more developed, but in the end, the gameplay is nearly identical. It does seem a bit more polished graphically. The targeting system for force grip is still not that great. They claim it improved, but it was still as frustrating as I remember. Too often I keep targeting the wrong item. Personally, I loved the original until I played Infamous. Once I played Infamous, I couldn't play Force Unleashed anymore without feeling bottled up. Both Cole and Starkiller have amazing powers to use. Yes Force Unleashed has a great Star Wars story to it, but it also is very scripted and usually channels you through one narrow corridor after another fighting waves of enemies. Cole is close enough in powers that the open world nature of Infamous stole me away from this series. I might pick up Force Unleashed 2 later on when it drops in price.

Just beat the demo and the hardest difficulty....its FREAKING AMAZING!!!! Everything is so much better the especially how satisfying the combat is and now that they fixed the target system I see no reason why this game can't be AAA :D

Dang, I'm downloading it on 360 then lol. That really is weird though. And for the record, it's actually 704.45 MB in case anyone else is wondering. That's a 460.55 MB difference. Around 1 - 2 hours more download time for me lol.
