5 Mistreated Video Game Characters

2. Starkiller AKA Galen Marek

This guy for me is one I'm split over. The protagonist of the ForCe Unleashed games isn't as much hated, but is overlooked. In 2008, The Force Unleashed was released to good reception. A Star Wars game that finally followed its own plot-line and that truly let you, well, unleash the force. I have fond memories of playing through the TIE-Fighter factory with this guy. My reason is that he was like Anakin and Luke in one. He had his dark side, and his good side. His cut-scenes were great, truly in the spirit of Star Wars, and I love how merciless he can be without saying a thing. He truly fit the bill for the game, and I feel so many people overlook him. I do admit I had fun with Vader on the first level, and would have liked to play Vader through the game more than you play Starkiller, but in my opinion, we got the next best thing to Vader. Starkiller really reminded me of Attack Of The Clone's Anakin, and of Empire Strikes Back Luke. More people need to play this game to understand he is right up there with the best Star Wars characters. Funnily enough though, the sequel worked just like Episode II did; Too much of a love story, and I try to forget him from that one.
