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.

I was actually talking about Vanquish, but yes, the reviews have also been harsh on SW: FU II. The difference is that if you are going through the trouble of importing Vanquish, I thought people should know what they are investing in. In terms of SW, I have to get it because of the Steelbook to match up with the first one. I'm also a SW fan so it will not take much to please me with this one. I just hope that the second one doesn't have those ridiculously long load times every 5 minutes when you moved from section to section. If they fixed that I'll be happy.

the original poster was referring to a review for Vanquish, not Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

I had an issue when I ordered the Uncharted Steelbook from them. They were actually helpful (I called them) and sent me a replacement. I also had to send the damaged Steelbook back and had to pay for return shipping originally. CS had told me to pay whatever amount was required and also to use a trackable method of shipping. I then sent them an email with a receipt showing the shipping costs, which they then refunded to my credit card (the one I used for my original order). I will say that the process was long, but I finally got the replacement...although it did have a small ding which I just decided to live with (the Steelbook has that plastic slipcover so there was no way of seeing it when the Steelbook was sealed). I'd say the overall process took about a month so brace yourself. I would call them though. Good luck.

BTW - I had asked CS to have the replacement sent in a box rather than that flimsy padded envelope they use. CS said that they would pass on my request but it fell on deaf ears as the replacement was also sent on the same flimsy padded envelope .

I ordered SteelBooks from them listed as new, which were obviously used.

Surprisingly, the return was very easy and hassle-free for me, but it was a disappointing to get your hopes dashed.

Only the Collector’s Edition will include a SteelBook.

From where did you order it?

Amazon UK

The game itself wasn't even worth it's listing price. Not much was changed from the original game, and it was so short. The only reason to reply it, would be to unlock the rest of the achievements.

Isn't it standard for PS3 to release G2 size? Star Wars force unleased 2 is G2.... I bought Uncharted 2 and it is G2.

Just so you know, the PS3 version of TFU 1 did get a G2 size steelbook.

The xbox version is the one that wound up with a G1 size steelbook.
