Battlefront II better than original

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. ...
