    Star Wars Vader Immortal - Episode II continues the dark tale of Vader's search for immortality, and while it is just as well-conceived as the first, its main flaw is the lightning fast runtime of 30 minutes, which barely gives you enough time to get into the swing of using your new force powers before the credits roll. A second installment of the wave-based Lightsaber Dojo does an excellent job of keeping you entertained afterwards, although if you're just here for the story you may leave a bit disappointed.

    Maybe one day ILMxLAB can craft something even greater, but for now this will do.

    The possibility of using both Jedi powers and lightsabers in combat finds its best expression in Dojo mode, where the degree of physical and sensory involvement touches very high peaks.

    Only 25 minutes of gameplay, Jedi training aside, makes this Vader Immortal Episode 2 an ephemeral VR experience that will leave you wanting more. More intense and joyful than the first episode, but with less content at the same price. Even with it's great immersion and atmosphere, It doesn't offer anything not seen before in other VR games.

    Vader Immortal Episode II has the odd tone of a mid-game tutorial, more concerned with laying the foundations for what’s to come narratively and stubbornly determined to explore less-exciting gameplay mechanics. With those foundations established, though, there’s a hope that ILMxLAB has removed some of the hurdles it might have otherwise encountered in Episode III.

    Pros:
    * Star wars theme

    * Darth Vader looks intimidating

    * Lightsaber battles feel fun. You can actually block attacks + deflect projectiles

    * Great story and character building! I actually wanted to go to light side since I was feeling so involved with the story.

    * Holy duck visuals that make you gasp at the larger-than-life world

    * You get force powers.

    * VERY well tested for difficulty. NO difficulty spikes that take you out of the experience. You're always in control and it's an extremely fun casual game.

    Cons:

    * My only complaint about this game is that it's very short. I think I must have finished this in 20-30 mins. And there's no replay value.    … Expand

    Having only just yesterday finished the first episode in this series I was keen to jump back in again.

    This is more of the same with the    Having only just yesterday finished the first episode in this series I was keen to jump back in again.

    This is more of the same with the same caveats as the first instalment. It is short, it is probably over priced and if you are not a Star Wars nut you will probably leave unsatisfied.

    But as a Star Wars fan you get to live out your child hood fantasies of wielding the force, fighting Rancors and using a lightsaber all at the same time! It feels bloody awesome. I found myself frantically flailing my arms around as I attempted to impress Lord Vader with my new found skills and left with a massive smile on my face.

    A slight negative which I have noticed is running this on a HP Reverb G2 the game is particularly dark to the point it becomes a little tricky to play at times. But apart from that the art design is excellent and the sound design is exactly what you would expect. Igniting a lightsaber has never felt so good.

    For the Star Wars fan with a VR setup, this is essential.    … Expand

    Good for what it is but I can't really recommend spending the price currently asked for it. I'd put the value more at $5

    Extremely short (30 min), the gameplay is fun for people who never experienced VR, but very simple and it is almost impossible to die.
