Where's the other 2/3 of the game?

User Rating: 4.5 | Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II PS3
I was eagerly anticipating this title for a long time. Granted the first one was short, so I figured that the devs would learn from their mistake and make this one longer. Sadly that didn't happen.

When I loaded the game, I went immediately to the level select screen to count the number of locked icons on there to get an idea as to how long the game is. I saw 10 icons so I figured the game would be just as long as the first... It wasn't. The devs actually broke some of the longer levels down into chunks so that even though it's one mission, it takes up 3 slots on the level select screen. In reality you only have 4 levels in this game, 5 if you count the one that is 1 minute of gameplay, and 4 minutes cutscene. Not only that, but half of the last level is going the the exact same areas of the first level in the game. There is also a starship level that has you go back and forth thru the same areas over and over again throughout the mission.

The story line is pretty bare bones too, which surprised me since the blogs I read/watched said that they were trying to make a more in depth story than the previous, but what it boils down to is Starkiller breaks away from Vader, rescues his friend, and then goes to rescue his lover. That's it, no plot twists, no cannon events related to the rebellion or anything like that, no references to the actual Star Wars series, aside from a misleading cameo from Boba Fett. Even the question everyone asks about 'is the Starkiller you are playing really a clone?" is never answered in either the light or dark side endings.

I am guessing that the devs will release about $60 of DLC costume and level packs to help fill out the game, but I won't be buying them unless they offer them free to those of us who paid full price on release day for 1/3 of a game that could easily be beat in about 5 hours.
