Why players love itThings to know
66% of themes are praise17% are divided17% are complaints
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
126 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Before you start any mission, you get to choose what force abilities, weapons and utilitarian items you want to bring, which is a very neat feature in my opinion.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
76 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Nonetheless, I felt like the story and the gameplay made up for this issue, and because you get a choice between the light and the dark side halfway through the campaign, the game is highly replayable.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Within one year between both games, Raven Software has improved many shortcomings in lightsabre battle as well as force mechanics and made it a lot more fun.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Like the last game I checked out the multiplayer, and not so surprising there's a rather large population this time around.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The engine, graphics and gameplay still hold up by today's standards, it doesn't feel dated.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Playing on the hardest difficulty would be my recommendation (as someone who nearly always plays video games on the easiest difficulty...), but you will have lots of fun.
