 An Improvement June 6, 2006
BF2 is a great game yes, but it is just an expansion on BF1. My biggest disappointment was the loss of maps. Sure you gain some, but some of my favorites were lost from BF1. The graphics and game play are much better and the new musical scores from Episode 3 are great as well. Playing as a hero wasn't as fun as I thought it would be, but I was probably hoping for too much anyway. The space battles are great, but there is little variety in them. In many cases the only difference in maps is the planet in the background. The game offers more than BF1 and it is a big step forward, but there is still a long way that they could go.

This is by far THE best Star Wars game I've ever played. More soldier classes, more planets, you can have dogfights in space and you can play as a jedi knight. This is a hard game to put down. Limitless scenarios and game play will keep you occupied for hours on end. I picked up this game back in November and I still play it on occasion. The only down side is the lack od squad control. This sequel limits you to the basic "follow me" or "break off" commands. Maybe for lack of memory or just simply to distiguish itself from "Republic Command". Aside from this very minor gripe, the game itself is flawless. So pick it up today and have fun fight the evil empire or "rebel scum"! You won't be dissapointed
Killing Ewoks has never been this much fun! May 23, 2006

This game is fantastic! FANTASTIC! If you have played the first Battlefront and enjoyed it, this will be the purchase for you! If you have not played the first, then - at the very least - go to your local game rental place and check this title out!
The controls make take a little getting used to - especailly space combat - but once you get the hang of it . . . you will feel golden! There's nothing like taking down a Star Destroyer piece by piece. And the dog fights are crazy!
And then, you are FINALLY given the option to play as a Jedi! It is simply fantastic! I remember the first time I was allowed to use the Jedi - which is obtained by completing several ingame goals. I jumped into the air - and then jumped again - and then jumped again! I was high above the battlefield! I could see everything! Also, with the lightsaber, you are able to block incoming shots until your stamina wears off.
New classes have been had, the game expanded, the graphics upgraded.
Get this game!!!!

This is really one of the best star wars games out there, really. I bought this after buying the 1st one because I really liked it. Im glad that I did! It has features that the first didn't have, like you can now play as a jedi, VERY FUN!
Also now, in the instant action you can play fun games such as the capture the flag and assault which is where to win you destroy the other teams droids and such to win. One of my favorite games is capture the flag on geonosis, you should play it to get used to ctf. So now the instant action is more than just capturing command posts.
You remember how in the first battlefront the campaign was the same as the instant action only in order? Well now there are objectives you have to fufill, like for instance, "Destroy the shield thing that is protecting the droid army." Like that.
Couple annoying things though, if in a movie in a battle a certain side wins, like the battle of Endor the rebels win, it is really hard to win if you are playing as the empire, and on Hoth it is really hard to win as the rebels. Very irritating to just capture a command post and suddenly the minute after you leave the other side suddenly captures really quickly, irksome. That is probably the only complaint I have against the game.
Also, as you have probably heard, you can now play in space. I feel that space is fun, but more fun playing it in the campaign where you have objectives to carry out. There are great vehicles in space you can use such as the X-wing and the TIE fighter.
This game has a much better conquest game than the first. In this one it feels more as if you are in control of the army because you can buy weapons, turrents and different soldier classes. It can get a little hard, but it is still fun.
Pros:
Great Graphics
Jedi game play
New game modes like CTF and assault
Easy to learn controls
In the campaign you get to do such fun things seen in the movies such as carry out order 66
Wonderful space battles
Cons:
Too easy for certain sides to win in certain games
Well, I have a couple tips for you, if having trouble getting used to playing as a jedi, play at mos eisley in assault, that is all jedis and other hero people. Also if the space controls are hard for you to use, go to the instant action play a space battle and practice just flying around and shooting at things.
I hope you plan on buying this game for it is one of the best I have played for X-box. However I must remind you that the majority of the game is conquest based with capturing command posts, so if you are looking for a Halo wannabe, go somewhere else.
Have fun Star wars fans!
(PS this game is more fun for people that are fans of the movies)

Star Wars has always featured an amazing cast of characters,fantastic battle grounds so vibrant and colorful let alone imaginative, and a strong story to back it up(Don't forget the MUSIC!).Sadly whenever a Star Wars game is realesed it focuses on one aspect like a flying sim or a fighting game or sometimes has nothing to do with the real original Star Wars!Us Star Wars fans never really get the pick of the barrel and are casted aside with lackign games.Battlefront 2 somehow manages to pull all the great things that make Star Wars so great into one.You are probly thinking didn't the origginal Battlefront already own the feat?The answers no.
This time around you can play as multiple Heroes and Villains spanning from all of the six movies!Oh and many new maps that are waiting to be destroyed and some well maintained remakes of classic levels like Geonosis!It wouldnt be great without masses of soldiers at your disposal pick between good and evil and fight in some of the most couragious Star Wars battles that the siries has to offer.Man an (the classic)X-Wing or a (the modern)Starfighter and blast off into space avoiding incomming missles and gaining turf by taking down enemie ships and shield in the all new Space battles.Every class is destined to hold some significance to the battlefield find whats best for you.Maby your an all around troop or a heavy artillary kinda person, whatever you are fight till the end.The X-Box version supports online/X-boc Live, so the wars keep on comming with intelligent support by either your friends or your new worst enemy.The splitscreen(2-4 player) is still fun too!Choose either Galatic Wars or Clone Wars and see the difference in troops and performance as each is set on 3 episodes.(Clones being the first 3 Galatic being the other 3)
Graphically this doesn't stack up to say Doom 3, or the new X-box 360 titles, but in its own way it's still colorful and powerful.Audio wise whats not to love?You can't deny Star Wars music John Williams composes each peace to perfection!The controls are smooth as can be ,but may take awhilke to get use too.All the new features leave you comming back for more, even if your new to the siries.Make sure to add this modern classic to your collection and let it shine.
