PS2 Star Wars Battlefront II

4 stars (Very good for a Star Wars game) - I've got to state up front that I suffer from major Star Wars burnout -- the first movie (1977) was great, everything else has been merchandising -- so my praise for this game is not given lightly. Gameplay is smooth and dynamic, some Star Wars games we've had in the past have been really dreadfully behind the times, this feels like it's state-of-the-art. The space combat is a welcome addition. My son clued me in on new characters previously not available to be played. It looks great on the screen. Overall? For a Star Wars game, very good. For any other game, ok. It's an improvement on previous Star Wars games, but for my money I just do not want to hear Obi Wan Kenobi's voice encouraging me to trust the force or take a droidica apart or anything like that. I'm just sick of Star Wars in general. Now, my son, who's eleven, thinks this is the best game he's played since Halo 2. So go forth and figure. 5 stars (THIS IS AN AWSOME SEQUEL THE BEST STAR WARS GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) - I got this game and the SW Episode 111 dvd on the same day which was the release date. Once I started playing this game I was very pleased. This is the only thing that really bothers me is the story mode because you have to complete certain objectives that got kind of annoying but besides that they still have Galactic Conquest which is awsome and so is Instant Action and you get to play as Jedi/Sith celeberties and HAn,Chewee,Jango,Baba and Lehia. This is a game I strongly recomened this game to die-hard Star Wars fans such as myself and fans of the original SW Battlefront and to some Battlefield,Halo,Unreal, fans. This game is so will worth the money!!!! 1 stars (Absolutely incredible letdown) - After a week plus with this game, my initial reaction has been confirmed time and time again - This is a true hack job, an incredible disappointment and waste of money for most consumers. The graphic interface on this game is truly atrocious - overly...

XB Star Wars Battlefront II

5 stars (This game was perfect) - Starwars Battle Front II is a great game and any slight starwars fan would have no doubt about buying this game. On this game when you play campaign, Rise of the Empire, you start off as a Clone Trooper with your squad called the "501st" you battle just as you would in the movies. And instead of just taking over command posts and killing your enemys, like on the original Battle Front, the enemy has unlimited reinforcements so you better be quick because you only have a limited amount of troops and you now have objectives to do. Later in the game you turn into the Empire instead of the Clone Troopers. This game is almost like the first one, except now you can take the battle to space! To win space battles grab anything you can, a fighter, a bomber, or a transport ship, just get over to that enemy star destroyer and do anything you can to get rid of your enemy. You can either bomb the star destroyer from the outside or go inside and destroy anything you can by blowing it up. If you take a transport ship and land it in the enemy hanger that transport is a spawn point untill it is destroyed. On the battle field you have an opertunity to become a hero: Yoda, Obi Wan, Mace Windu, Darth Vader ect. Your hero does not last forever so you need to take advantage of the time you have by taking over highly guarded command posts or just wipeing out the enemy. Your hero has a time limit that goes down slowly, but when you get hit it takes a portion out of the amount of time you can use your hero, and when you kill an enemy a portion is gained. All heros have a second attack besides their light sabers, some have force lightning, others have force push, or force choke, and all the heros, equiped with a light saber, can throw their light sabers. The jedi heros can run very fast if sprinting, which is very usefull if you need to get somewhere quickly, and don't have a vehicle. Most of the weapons are still the same and there are new kinds of people...

Star Wars- Battlefront 2

4 stars (Worth the wait) - I dug out SW:BF1 the week before SW:BF2 released and played it for a day or so just to remind myself of the general gameplay. Others have already listed pros, cons, and recommendations; let me add to their lists rather than duplicate them: PROS: -- You get to (a) dogfight in space and (b) play as a Jedi or other 'hero' character (e.g., Boba Fett), all within the context of a given mission. -- The "Rise of the Empire" campaign is well thought out, if a bit dark (e.g., you get to assassinate the Queen of Naboo; I'm just grateful you don't have to kill the 'younglings' in the Jedi Temple). -- The overall gameplay is great, with larger and more complex environments. CONS (all relatively minor): --The Options/Controls panel is a pain to use (as when setting up a joystick). Someone needs to improve the UI design and general behavior on this; it strikes me as being somewhat 'quick and dirty.' --The shift to story/objective mode moves SW:BF2 towards the classic problems of a 'railroad' game, namely, you have to figure out how the designers intended you to complete the objectives and in what order. For example, in the Kashyyyk: First Line of Defense mission, I tried to destroy the CIS cruiser heavy turrets before I destroyed the enemy frigates, but SW:BF2 wouldn't let me. --Each mission has a number of sub-objectives, and there is no way to save a game within a mission. In other words, if you get to the very last mission task and die, you have to start the entire mission all over again. --There are a few glitches here and there. For example, in that same mission, SW:BF2 seemed to have a hard time figuring out when the other clone troopers should follow me over to the CIS cruiser. RECOMMENDATIONS: -- First, get a joystick. It's a lot easier to do the space combat with one, though you'll have to take some time to set up the controls (under Options). -- Second, if you don't have a lot of spare time, get the strategy guide. It doesn't ...

Star Wars- Battlefront

4 stars (i liked it) - star wars battle front is one of the best games that have been made on Ps2. It is not only fro star wars fans, it is also a great shoot em up game with heaps of different weapns and players to play as,worth paying the money for. 4 stars (The best Star Wars game I've played yet) - Star Wars Battlefront is a great game, despite a few minor flaws. Out of all the Star Wars titles I've played, it is by far the best. It offers all of the gameplay styles of the past Star Wars games, including battle on the aerial, vehicle, and soldier levels. You can fight as four sides on planets such as Bespin, Geonosis, Hoth, Endor, and Kashyyyk (One course, Rhen Var, was only in one short scene of Episode 3). The targeting and radar systems are good enough, but the missile lock-on systems are somewhat hard to use. You can fight as four sides, each with benefits and downsides. Rebels: While the Rebellion lacks some of the firepower of the Empire, they have the best starfighters in the entire game. Their special unit, the Wookie Smuggler, can drop time bombs and shoot several enemies at once. Empire: One of the best features of the Imperials is the ability to play as walkers- including the AT-AT, which can be used on Hoth and Rhen Var. Republic: This group focuses mostly on heavy weapons, with armored tanks, walkers, and gunships at their disposal. They are very similar to the Imperials, but have better starfighters. CIS (Trade Federation): Their vehicles are some of the worst in the game, but they make up for it with their droid soldiers. For the first time ever, you can play as the lethal Droideka, also known as the Destroyer Droid, from Episode 1. There are only two real downsides to this game. The first is that you can only battle within your side's Era. For example, the Rebellion can not fight the CIS in a battle. Also, every mode of gameplay is almost exactly the same- you must kill enemy soldiers and capture their Command Posts - so the game can get r...

PSP Star Wars Battlefront II

5 stars (First gta now this!!) - It's really a good game, the second best game for psp by a long shot (gta was really good too). I'll the titles out for psp have been crap, this and gta are really good games though, battlefront 2 is really great, it's just what you would expect. Although when people say there are long loading times, i'd have to agree but i read the tips and hints that are displayed while it's loading. My game hasn't froze yet and I've owned this game for over a week. What's up with all the knocking the controls, their fine, plus you get 5 different choices of control settings. The graphics are good, the difficulty's o.k ( could've of made a harder mode). You can play with every character from the first one and I truly enjoy this game and I think that you should go buy it right now, like just go, it's worth it and a very game so go and buy it a.s.a.p. 5 stars (Quoth the Raven "This game rocks!!!!!") - This has got to be the best game for the PSP! The graphics are excellent, the framerate is smooth, the space battles are emense and action packed, and the jedi characters are really fun to play as. This game is worth buying a PSP for!!! 5 stars (Last review sucks) - I like the game is so fun but hard and the guy who says this game is bad is a fool ...

Star Wars Battlefront

5 stars (Starwars Battlefront) - As you know, battlefront takes placein the actual star wars wars. For example, Remember back in Episode V? when they fight in HOth, well, you get to play in that battle, and drive the big AT-AT's or the AT-ST's. also if you choose to be the rebles, you may play in the snowspeeders and harpoon the AT ATs down! also in episode II where they are in genosis, you get to fly the republic gunner ship. man is that fun. the controlls are soo easy to get used to, they are just like James Bond games or Halo. you can change the game point of view from 1st person to 3rd person, personally i like 1st persong. some errors i find about this game, is that many times i find myself being killed by no one, as if the guy is invisale. but i get used to it. its not too much of a problem, who knows, i may be blind :). so far thats the only glitch i have found. i have had this game for a couple of months now. instant actionand golatic conquest are the best modes in this game. also i would reccumend getting Battlefront II some time. 5 stars (Battlefield in a Star Wars setting) - Star Wars Battlefront is pretty much the same thing as any of the Battlefield games: giant, open ended battles that have infantry and vehicle combat. You can play as the rebels, the empire, the republic or the trade federation droid army. It has five different infantry classes. They are assault, sniper, anti-vehicle, pilot and a unique unit for each army. The rebels unique units are wookiees, The empire has dark troopers, the republic has jet troopers, and the trade federation has droidekas (destroyer droids). The AI is good for the most part. They dive for cover when a grenade is thrown their way and they use vehicles well. However, the AI does have a few problems such as their weird urge to get to a gun turret. Tons of times I've seen one of my troops go running away from a firefight to get to the nearest turret when we needed him at the battle. Also, whenever your reinfo...

Star War Battlefront Mac

4 stars (It's pretty good.) - i thought this game was good, but it was slower than the PS2 version unless u have like a mac G5. 4 stars (Star Wars Battlefront) - Get this game. Now, that said, I'll cover through this review a couple of cautions, then mention a perspective, then finish with Fun, Fun, Fun! By the way, have I mentioned that you should get this game? Definitely, this game is a must if you've ever thought it'd be fun to be a defender of the Old Republic, or if you'd rather defeat "Rebel scum." Or, even if you've thought you might like to take part in any of those grand battles of the Star Wars universe. Now for a couple of cautions. I was exceptionally excited after getting this game. And then upon initial installation (which was very smooth and simple), I was asked for the code to enter which would begin the game, easily found on the back side of the DVD-rom plastic case. Or, so I thought. The code didn't work. So, thinking I might have entered the wrong code, I looked all over the DVD, then the inside of the DVD case, and then on the all of the installation paperwork, the advertisement insert ... nothing. No joy. And I tasted the sour of a software lemon. Oy! [...] It seems the software code was misprinted on many of the software cases (mine included.) And with great ease, the correct software code was given to me at that web address. While the first caution was fairly easily solved over the internet, my second caution relates to my misunderstanding relating to use of the DVD. I thought the DVD was only for the initial installation. Ohhh, nooooo. Keep the DVD available; the game won't run without it. I suppose the payoff (Fun, Fun, Fun!) is definitely worth it, but having a Powerbook, I tend to travel extensively, and running the DVD drains the battery, and drains it but good. So, for me this was a bit of a frustration, so now I play the game with the power connected. So, play the game I do! I plugged my computer in, inserted t...

Star Wars Battlefront 2 DVD-ROM

5 stars (CD vs DVD) - This game will probably have a large amount of Data. A game with a large amount of data is released in two different formats, CD and DVD. When a large game full of data is released on a CD it will be sectioned into parts like those 2 and 3 cd releases on certain games. Thats because CD handles less information. DVD can handle a much larger amount of information a.k.a DATA. The game can be easily squeezed into one DVD disc. Remember a CD is a 750 MB disc, compared to a DVD which is usually a 4.7GB Monster. Why they bother using CDs for such a big game is still a wonder. I think its all about saving nickels and dimes. CD is cheaper than DVD... DVD version does not increase the speed of the gameplay in anyway only the installation. If you got the cash this is something to consider picking up. 5 stars (The best in Star Wars gaming just got better) - Star Wars Battlefront II (2005.) The second game in the Star Wars Battlefront series. INTRODUCTION: In 2004, Star Wars Battlefront was released. Although not wildly popular at its time of release, the game gradually won many gamers over with its awesome gameplay. The deathmatch-style gaming in a galaxy far, far away ended up becoming the best-selling Star Wars game of all time! Still, while it was one of the best Star Wars games ever, it did lack in a few areas, and it left fans yearning for a sequel. One finally arrived in the Fall of 2005! Is it an improvement? Read on for my review of Star Wars Battlefront II. OVERVIEW: Star Wars Battlefront II was released in America on November 1, 2005 - the same day Episode III was released on DVD in the United States. The game features single player and multi-man action alike. There are a ton of different characters, classes, locales, and game variants. The game is available for Playstation 2, Playstation Portable, XBOX, and PC. REVIEW: I had high expectations for this game, being that the first Battlefront was one of my all-time favorite Star Wars gaming e...
