You can get it from Game in the UK and they do deliver to the U.S.

Anyone get Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II today?
If so, could you post pics?
Oh same goes for anyone who got the UK edition who can confirm or deny there being rating logos on the cover/spine?

Nice steelbook for Force Unleashed II...but I have a feeling we'll be able to get these LEs for much cheaper down the road.

When u got ur copy, was the tape loose?

[Grim Reaper]

nope... my ps3 copy was in plastic. but, my 360 copy wasnt in plastic.
like when you buy a standard version of a game. thats wrapped in plastic.

From the first Force Unleahsed game steelbook, does anyone have the artcards?

If so, and if you don't want them, can I have them? I already have the steelbook of the first game with artcard #9 (Darth Maul), and have been hoping to find the remaining 9 artcards somewhere, so that I could someday have the complete set.

[Grim Reaper]

i got these two cards. but, not getting rid of them.

ps3
#1 of #10

I meant the circle tape/sticker on the outer box. Cause mine was like and I was scared that it was already opened but nothing seems to be taken out.

Mine was opened as well, and the Steelbook was damaged. AZ shipped it in a padded envelope and it got squeezed. Now have to wait for a replacement . It's funny that they ship bubble wrap in a box with air bags to pad, but a collector's edition game they just dump in a flimsy padded envelope

Gee, I wish Game.co.uk would have specified it was a stickerbook before I preordered, too bad it isn't a real steelbook but I guess I'll hold onto it anyways

and yes the Star Wars: Force Unleashed II steelbook is awesome

I am about to order Vanquish, it got 9 out of 10 on gamespot, which is pretty amazing. First time I saw the gameplay footage of it, the first thing I thought of was the game Omega Boost for PS1 lol

Be careful though as Game Informer gave it a 7.75 which is still decent but the review was quite critical of this game. Game Informer says that this game is:

"a one-trick pony. Boss fights start recycling early on, the weapons aren't particularly impressive, and you won't care about the story for a second...most fights are of the stand here and survive until the elevator is ready variety. The game is also very short and don't be surprised if you finish your first playthrough in four hours or less."

Thanks for the pictures, mate! It looks amazing. I see you're from Vancouver, so you also confirmed the other question about there being French on the spine. Cheers!

[Fan_Of_Gaming]

so I got my Vanquish PS3 from GAME.co.uk today.... and despite it saying steelbook on my receipt and on my order on their website, the game is most definitely an amaray... pretty pissed off right now, I have sent them a complaint email seeing what they will offer me otherwise I guess I'm going to have to go through the hassle of returning it and waiting several more weeks for them to ship me another one to play the game

Many other reviews are actually much harsher on the grading, but say similar things:

- Monotonous, dull environments.
- Throwaway story.
- Shorter than the original, which was already short.

It appears the director and other employees left during the development of SW:FUII and it suffered for it. Rumor has it that SW:FU III is likely canceled, which is too bad, since the series had potential...but squandered it all.
