Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2 Guide Essentials A Fresh Start

Saber and Force Combos
More often than not, you will dispose of enemies with your lightsabers rather than your Force powers. You will undoubtedly develop your own combat style. For example, you may prefer to lead with your Force powers but finish a fight with a saber strike or two. Or you may like to lead with saber combos and finish enemies off with Force power attacks.
Regardless, you should incorporate saber combos into nearly all attacks. The following table lists all available saber and Force combos.

Grapple Attacks
| Action | Xbox 360 | PS3 |
|---|---|---|
| Grapple Attack 1 | A + X | Triangle + O |
| Grapple Attack 2 | B + Y | X + Square |
Throughout your adventure, enemies will often surround you quickly. Use grapple attacks to pull close enemies in closer and savagely attack them in close-quarter combat. After pulling them in for the attack, you’ll either strike them with their own weapon, impale them with yours, or toss them into the air before finishing them off with a saber strike—depending on the enemy and the grapple attack you execute.
Regardless of what the attack looks like, the outcome is always the same: one less enemy to worry about.
