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 you can be. Now instead of a reacon droid that your sniper or scout had before, they now have an auto turret, which is very cool and usefull when you need an extra gun or just somthing to guard a command post. The only small and very slight thing that disapointed me about this game is that you only can use flying vehicles in space and the planet Hoth, and that pretty much ruined Geonosis, But overall this game is still an easy five stars! There is no reason to rent this game just buy it because you'll be playing it by yourself and with friends all the time!

How Great is this game

This game is the best Star Wars installment yet. This game lets you(as you made of heard) play as a Jedi thats always a plus. And fight in space. While fighting in space if playing two player one person boards the enemy cruiser and one person attacks from outside. First this is one tip you might want to regard first take out the frigates just out side the cruiser these supply cover fire for the cruiser and I mean heavy fire to keep you from boarding obviously. Once boarded most of the enemy won't even notice your there. So once in there there will be little resistence. But back to reviewing. This game as I said before is the greatest game of all time.

good job lucas

starwars battlefront2 is the best starwars game there ever was!
You know the controls are simply. There are different charters like different rebel dudes and different clone troopers and different weapons and different planets.The levels are really good and you get to play as the empire and you get to land on ships and blow them up. It's great my dad even likes.it's worth the money.

The Best Star Wars Game I Play Gets Even Better!

BATTLEFRONT:
I have played few star wars games. As a big fan of the movie, I expect much from the few I've played. The Phamtom Menace was boring, lacked sequence, fustrating. The Knights of The old rebuplic series was confusing. And now comes battlefront. Battlefront was the first star wars game I actually enjoyed. Even my sister could play along with me and take down a few droids with her. When Battlefront 2 came out, I was hyped to get it as soon as posible. Was I disappointed? Let's see!

NEW FEATURES THAT MAKE IT BETTER THAN THE FIRST BATTLEFRONT!

GRAPHICS:
They are definately better than the first. I'm not saying that the first BF (battlefront) was bad but this one is better. Note: if you dispised the graphics of the first battlefront, then don't expect to much a difference. The First BF graphics were already great!

but...

Some of the Earth and Lava features look chunky in mustafar. I don't really care though. I'm just trying to be picky.

STORY CAMPAIGN:
In Battlefront 2, there is a mission-objective type battle in Rise of The Empire-the story mode. In the BF1 campaign, there was just pointless battles on different planets. Why not just battle in Instant Action? It would be the exact same thing. But in Battlefront 2, there are missions so there is something different.

but...

Sometimes the mission objective modes can get a little confusing and fustrating. I'm not saying the missions are bad, its just that sometimes, you get the feeling that they get impossible.

LOTS OF NEW PLANETS:
There are many new planets in Battlefront 2, such as Coruscant, Mustafar, Utapau and many more! And rather than just planets that are from only the original trilogy (episodes 4,5,6), there are planets from every episodes.

but...

some planets that i loved like Bespin, the Tatooine desert, Rhen Varr were not included. And, i don't think any other planet in Battlefront 2 can replace my love for Bespin Platforms
(except for maybe Utapau).

THE FORCE IS WITH THIS ONE!
for the first time, there are heroes and villians that are playable in battlefront. The reason I don't like other Jedi games is because playing as jedis get old real fast! But in battlefront 2, there is a variety from infantry, to jedis!

but...

You cannot heal yourself unless you kill many enemies. (unless you do mos eisly assualt mode)

CHARACTERS:
There are many new classes for soldiers such as the Republic clone commanders with there chain gun, CIS magna guard with some purple-bomb-shooting thing. Imperial officers with their geonosiam type air wave pistol and a motar launchers. Rebel Bothan spies with a gun that shoots grey-fire-type-thingy mabob.

but...

The magna guards don't have electro staffs like in episode III. oh well.

SPACE!!!
Space is one of the main things that are really important that make Battlefront 2 better than Battlefront 1. Isn't in kind of clumsy not to include space battles like in battlefront 1? Battlefront 2 fixes that problem.

but...

space battles can be fustrating because the controls could be difficult to learn. There is also the fact that the makers of battlefront 2 (lucas arts) put too much effort into space battles like putting space over mygeeto, or space tatooine. They could replace all those misculaneous space battles with Bespin platforms, or Rhen Varr maps.

CONTROLS
The controls are kind of the same as Battlefront 1.

but...

The reload button is the down directional button, meaning that the squad commands are reduced to just "cover my back". and when you say that command, It sounds nothin like the voice of jango fett. thats kind of it.

LAST WORDS

I haven't played galactic conquest yet so i can't tell you anything. Many other reviewers say it is nothin like battlefront 1 galactic conquest.

The demo for this game is very bad. I know that the aiming circle is not in the middle. But don't worry. Battlefront 2 is like any first/third person shooter except better!

I hope I hope i have helped you with your shopping dicision.

May the force be with you! Always...

see you later alligator (no offense, just trying to rhyme)

Everything about this game is better than the orignal. There's more levels; more challenging gameplay; better online features; superior graphics; more weapons and veicles. There's also levels where you can fly, which you can skip over. If your a fan of the original, you will love this one.

I think they messed up a good thing

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.

One of the best video games I've ever played...

This is the best in Star Wars entertainment. If you are looking for the cheapest Battlefront price, and are on the verge of buying Battlefront I instead of II, don't! If you buy number I, you cannot be a Jedi. I repeat: On Battlefront I, there is no opportunity to wield a lightsaber. So spend the extra buck for better graphics, storyline, and the Jedi feature. Buy Battlefroent II. If you know nothing about the various planets of SW, once you play this you'll know what all of the important ones are. The space battles are cool too, except for the fact that while you can fly a Jedi Starfighter, you can't be a Jedi flying it. But that really doesn't matter since you can't see the pilot anyway. This is a great game and will bring you hours, days, and months of excitement.

WOW!

Greatest Star Wars Game Ever. Period. I got this game the day it came out, and I still can't stop playing it. This game has everything that the original one didn't. The new levels are awesome, and the heroes are great. Oh, and it helps that the heroes aren't immortal anymore like in Battlefront 1. Unfortunately, some of the best levels from 1 are missing in 2, such as Bespin and Tatooine. But if you have xbox live, you can get them + 2 heroes for just 4.99. A MUST HAVE FOR ALL STAR WARS FANS AND GAMERS ALIKE!!!

In gaming, Star Wars = Always average

I fear they will never make a decent Star Wars game; Lego Star Wars is the best but you can finish it in one night unless you are under 12. Battlefront was probably rushed to coincide with Episode III on Dvd and will sell bucket-loads as a result of this clever marketing (they tricked me into buying it this way!!!!). The game is no more advanced than the original and in single-player mode you always feel like they didn't have enough time to finish it's development. For example, being a Jedi sounds cool but the actions are so limited it's a really big let-down; you usually end up dying by jumping off a ledge whilst doing 'force-jumping'........Ordering your comrades about is pointless as they go where they want to and you just try to keep up. The space battles are plain repetitive and are a pale shadow of 'Jedi Starfighter'. The 'raiding enemy battleships' concept is a good one but is again ultimately flawed in it's obvious limitations. All in all, yet another mediocre Star Wars game to add to the pile; LucasArts should be ashamed of themselves.

as good as the first but little better

Loved the first one, like the second. Yes they added space combat,
after a couple of times it is just the same. Ground combat is still the same just a couple of extra characters thrown in. Plus by the time you unlock some of the characters the battle is just about done. a good game to rent but not to buy. after 4 days I'm bored with it. Maybe in a month it'll be fun for a couple more hours.
