 impressive...most impressive...i actually liked this game its MUCH better than the first one ! November 2, 2005
14 out of 17 found this review helpful
okay, i wrote a review for the first battlefront a while back and it was a negative one, but... on november 1st when i got the revenge of the sith dvd i tried out the 2 demo levels of battlefront 2 and i have to say i was hooked ! the gameplay was richer and the controls were so smooth..it looks like they learned their lesson from the first one about the control issues.. i went out and bought a copy and i liked what ive been seeing..the graphics are improved the locations are updated you can fight on mustafar, utapah, the rebel blockade runner (tantive IV) and various star wars locations..and i especially liked fighting on dagobah, and then theres my favorite taking on the coridors of the death star !! lots of fun...
the space combat is a great addition to the gameplay the dogfights are detailed and fast..the way they should be.. and playing as a jedi is well as vader would say.."most impressive"
and the ability to jump into any vehicle is always fun ..
to sum it up.. although i was not a fan of the first battlefront i like the second one..it looks like they actually took their time with one...the single player mode(where you play a trooper in Darth vader's elite 501st unit) is challenging and worth it..if your not into online gameing like myself..
you know..the new x box 360 system gets released in a few weeks, and this game would have been a great launch title for that system it could have been the first next gen star wars game! but if you get the 360, and u dont like any of the games that are on the release day pick up a copy of battlefront 2 its compatible with the 360 since it plays regular x box games as well...
my only gripe is that they still have the clunky camera angles in some areas but it can be overlooked perhaps it will be fixed on battlefront 3 but overall, this is a fun game and if you are a star wars fan you owe it to yourself to pick this up...
 I think they messed up a good thing November 2, 2005

I was playing the game all last night and I am afraid I must say I am a little disappointed. I loved the first SWBF and played it for countless hours and hours. If you were the same way this review is for you.
Here are just a couple things that bugged me:
-You can do a lot more in the starfighters but I can't believe they brought over the flight control method from the Star Wars "Starfighter" series of games. You need both thumb sticks to fly. One turns you and the other rolls you. It is extremely awkward to fly this way and I think it is the main reason those other Star Wars games didn't do so well. I don't know why they messed with the SWBF 1 controls. If it was because they wanted you to be able to loop and barrel roll they should have used the same system Halo uses with the Banshees. That works pretty well with one thumbstick.
-In the SWBF1 the AT-ATS were pretty scary. Their main guns had a slow fire rate but they had a large area of damage. They just had to hit close to a soldier and he was dead as well as any others standing close. In SWBF2 I was standing there with a Vanguard working on an AT-AT and this thing is firing like a machine gun at me but doing no damage. I actually had to walk up the hill behind me to let it hit me directly before I died. It was laughable. The dread you felt when an AT-AT in SWBF1 turned its head towards you is completely gone.
-Playable Jedi's: I thought the genius of the SWBF1 was that you were just a grunt trying to effect the outcome of the battle. You could die easily and that gave the game some challenge. Now you can be some all powerful Jedi flying around the battlefield killing everything. If I wanted to do that I would have just played "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" or "KOTOR: Sith Lords".
I am going to keep playing the game to see if it gets better but if you were a big fan of the First Battlefront don't automatically assume this one is just as good and run out and buy it like I did. You might want to rent it first and see. I wish I had.
However, you are a 12-14 year old kid who likes to watch things "blow up real good" as you mow down countless enemy soldiers with no challenge and no real strategy required...this just might be your game.
 Battlefront at it AGAIN! November 2, 2005

If you liked Star Wars Battlefront I (which you probably did) YOU WILL LOVE BATTLEFRONT II. New maps, space battles, new units, and fight as a jedi!! Huge improvement! 5 stars!

More Vehicles
More wepons
More Characters

If you like the first and like dog fights and Jedi then pick this one up right now!
