Thoughts:
501st Stormtroopers that didn't want to have a cup of coffee with me!
     I'm a huge Star Wars fan, but I have not played Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II.  I really enjoyed the original Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, but after hearing how short SW:TFU2 is, I decided to hold off on purchasing it for now.
     I think considering the lower review scores, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II has performed pretty well.  The reported average hours "Per person" are higher than I expected them to be, and I don't know if perhaps the Wii version's local multi-player mode is helping that average.

     As for the picture above, I'm in the Jedi robe, and the story behind it is this(as I posted on NinTemple.com):
"My wife and I went out this year with our son.

Saturday night, we dressed our son up in his dragon costume, but before leaving I snuck my old Jedi robe into my backpack, and strangely enough...it came to excellent use.

We went to one of our malls, for a trick-or-treat event Saturday night with some other friends. We had gone into a store, and as we were leaving in our normal clothes...I saw two guys walk by in Stormtrooper armor. They didn't see us, so I called out, "Are y'all part of the 501st?"
The guy replied, "Yea. How did you know?"

I'm a huge Star Wars nerd, and know about the fans and the 501st Legion; so anywho, we chatted for a bit, and I ended up getting a picture with them while I was wearing the Jedi robe."

Questions:
     Have any of you played and beaten Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II; and if so, how many hours did it take you to complete?  If you played the original, how do you think Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II compares to it?
