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 24 in the PS2 version of the game. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

    Battlefront II better than original

    By Michael B  Nov 2, 2005 | 13 out of 16 found this Star Wars: Battlefront II review helpful

    Pros: More action, more battlefields, more options, more fun

    Cons: Still falls short of what it could have been

    After spending an entire night playing this game, I am sufficiently impressed that it is definitely and improvement over the original version. There are more battles, more options for gameplay, and overall more choices of things to do. The graphics ...are not significantly better, less than I had hoped. The controls are better in some cases, particularly the ability to "roll" to dodge attacks is much easier in II. The auto-aim does not seem to work as well. The AI was supposed to be better, and it is. The opponents are much harder to track and kill, and your allies are far more aggressive both in taking CP's and seeking out opponents, thus there is more action in II than I. It is worth the money, so don't even hesitate to go buy it. You'll get your money's worth in only a couple of nights of playing. Read more Less

    Great Game for any Star Wars Fan

    By Rob  Nov 28, 2005 | 4 out of 6 found this Star Wars: Battlefront II review helpful

    Pros: Great action and one on one fighting, characters

    Cons: story mode lacking, space battles

    I bought SWB2 knowing I was buying an FPS that had to do with Star Wars. Very soon however I realized what an FPS it was! One could compare to Halo 2, but with characters you know and love. Darth Vader, Luke, Leia, Han Solo, Darth Maul, Obi Wan, Yoda..., Mace Windu, Anakin, all of them are there to use. The story mode however is a bit lacking, its hell to die when your renforments are low, and will make you want to throw your controller at the screen when your forces lose, but back to review. The space battles are to be honest boring as hell. If the game gives you the option of by passing a space mission, you know something is up, and take my word and by pass it. There is no incredible dog fighting, but more of destorying the opposing fleet from the inside of the ship, which can be fun for the first two times, but gets old quick. There is another type of story mode called Galactic Conquest, where you pick a federation and take over all planets in the galaxy all the while another federation is trying to do the same. You can purchase with credits bonuses like the Leader Bonus for fighting with a leader in a planet battle. Its fun, though you will most likely be forced now and then to space battle, its good fun with all the federations (Rebel Alliance, Clone Federation, Storm Troopers, Droids [imperialists]). I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys FPS's, you dont need any Star Wars knowlegde either. Read more Less
