Imperial soldiers and Rebel insurgents are called back to duty in Star Wars Battlefront II, a multiplayeroriented sequel shooter based on the famous movie series. Like the original Battlefront, scenes are set in environments familiar from the films. For example, mission maps in the sequel have players fighting on the swamp planet of Dagobah, as seen in Empire Strikes Back, or defending Princess Leia's diplomatic blockade runner, as in the opening scene of the original A New Hope.

While designed to retain the features that helped make the original Battlefront the bestselling Star Wars game to date (at the time of Battlefront II's release), the sequel's technological refinements allow for new gameplay elements as well. With seamless transitions across an entire mission map, players could now begin a confrontation on their own capital ship, board a fighter to engage the enemy in a dogfight, then land on the enemy's capital ship and disembark for an assault raid, all in a single battle.

In response to fan requests, playable Jedi characters are introduced by the sequel, allowing gamers to take control of heroes such as Yoda, Grievous, or even the Emperor himself. To keep the battles balanced, players can only play as these hero characters for a limited time, and may temporarily lose access to them if they are not used to their potential in battle. Once again, the singleplayer game centers on a "Galactic Conquest" mode, but mapspecific objectives add new tactical elements. Online multiplayer modes support as many as 32 in the Xbox version of the game. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

    Pros: plannet surroundings, sound effects, visual graphics, weapon control, more options than the first game

    Cons: not enough space locations, needs more storylines with more characters, not as many vehicles as in the first game

    I have both of the Battlefront games and they are a good buy for the star wars fan. Battlefront 2 has advantages in the way you can easily control the player moves and weapon functions. I especilly enjoy the space battles. The only disadvantage in th...e space battles is the need for more spacecraft, not large enough flight surroundings, the almost imposibility of sabotaging a capital ship without resorting to cheatcodes, and you can't control the big turbo laser turrets. I like the way you have to earn points to unlock advanced gun technology and special characters. I was not impressed that you can only fly in space and not in the plannet's atmosphere. I wish the game had a bigger variety of vehicles.--the clone turbo tank is not included--. The control of the jedi and sith are awesome, but the lack of force attack options doesn't do them justice. A bonus would be the extra health so it takes alot more time for you to die giving you a better stratagy. I think that the things that would make the game better are more characters, MORE WEAPONS, better storyline, BETTER SQUAD COMMANDS, and bigger battles. Star Wars fans should definatly add this game to their collection. Read more Less
