TFU2 In Gamepro Magazine!

So I just got done reading a review of the Force Unleashed 2 in Gamepro, and it looks like it's going to be flipping amazing! They pretty much detailed like the first two missions and I will tell you about it right now:
****ATTENTION: SPOILER ALERT!****
Starkiller is a clone for sure, and the game starts off with Darth Vader going to Kamino to check on him. He walks in and Starkiller is in a prison cell, fighting against like a bunch of PROXY droids. Well one of them turns into Juno and he can't move himself to kill her and he doesn't know why.
So Darth Vader tells him that he is a clone of the original Starkiller and that they accelerated the cloning process to re-create him, but it has gone wrong for some reason and that's why he's having trouble with certain things. Darth Vader also reveals that there were a number of clones before him and that all the previous copies have gone mad (ooooh exciting!)
So Starkiller sees a force vision of when Vader betrayed and stabbed the original Starkiller in the first game, and he basically breaks out of the cloning facility, steals Vaders TIE fighter, and leaves Kamino.
He later finds out that General Rahm Kota (from the first game) is being held captive by some imperial guy on Cato Nemoidia, so he goes there to save him. He ends up having to fight in like a gladiatorial arena (like what was in the trailer) for seven days. At the end of the seven days (and after fighting the Gorog, the big thing from the trailer) he ends up saving Kota and escaping on the Rogue Shadow.
Once aboard, Kota cant believe he really is a clone because no ones ever successfully cloned a jedi. Starkiller asks what to do next and Kota makes a joke about how he should go and meditate on Kashyyyk or Dagobah, and for some reason that piques Starkillers interest, but he doesnt know why it is so important or why it resonates with him.
So he plots a course for Dagobah. Once there Kota tells him to go into the "cave of evil," as he calls it. Inside the cave he sees visions of himself reaching out and begging for help. The article says he has the opportunity to strike them down or not to, but he ends up choosing not to, basically realizing that his first response should not be to lash out, i guess.
He then sees a vision of Juno as a captain of a starship under attack and he sees her die, then she disappears. Thats where the description of the game ends. No word on if Yoda will be on Dagobah, but his voice is heard in the trailer, so im guessing its plausible to assume.
But it does go on to talk about how much more mature the game will be, stating that theyre trying to get the ESRB to let them do some things that are pretty nasty. Im guessing they want to do some dismemberment this time around. Which would only make sense, because youre using a LIGHTSABER to fight with. Actually two this time around!! And they amped up the physics and junk too.
All in all this game looks like its gonna kick major butt.
I cant wait. It said the game will be released on October 26th. So mark your calendar and start saving. Haha!!
