bit-tech Shopping: LucasArts Star Wars Battlefront II (PS2)

Rating: 6

Time with product: 1 Years

Strengths: Lots of Different Type of Characters, Controls

Weaknesses: Single Player Mode Is Rather Simple, Could Have Expanded More Over The First Game

Summary: Star Wars Battlefront II is a 3rd person (or 1st person) shooter that puts you in the middle of a big battle within the Star Wars universe. While it is a lot of fun it is fairly one sided. The single player game isn't really too involving so once it's over their really isn't much to do expect play the levels over and better so if done in multiplayer. They surely could have expanded more in the gameplay for the single player mode in order to make it deeper. They did add some new elements to the battles such as being able to play as a saber carrying Jedi and on some boards being able to enter new flying vehicles. I would recommend Star Wars Battlefront II to fans of the first game as long as they know what to expect and it's ok with them that it's more of the same almost as if it's just new level on the first Battlefront game.

Strengths: fills in gaps left out of the movies

Weaknesses: It is battlefront with more levels

Summary: If you are a fan of the original battlefront, you will like this game. It can become a bit repetitive if you have played the first game. I like the story of the 501st, since it bridges the gap between the movies. I would strongly recommend this game to Star Wars fans.

Strengths: star wars license, outerspace battles

Weaknesses: frantic battles, kind of hard

Summary: Battlefront 2 isn't that much different from the first game so I wasn't too impressed with it.The on ground battles still have a frantic, quick pacing. I thought it was a bit too busy and found myself getting killed and respawing after a few minutes of playing. The best parts of the game are probably the space battles. In these you fly an aircraft but then you can dock into the enemies ships and fight/sabotage their ships from the inside. It's a pretty cool idea.Jedi's are also playable but they're not very cool or all that powerful. In a game where the enemy is constantly running around trying to blast you from different angles, playing the game with a jedi who's weapon is a lightsaber isn't very fun.Get Battlefront 2 if you haven't played the first or if you're a really big fan of Star Wars, otherwise I'd say skip it.

Summary: This game is similar to the first one but with different levels. The vehicles are always fun to play in. The online play makes this game even more awesome. A must have for Star War or shoot-em-up fans.

Rating: 8

Time with product: 2

Strengths: Graphics and battles

Weaknesses: Repetitive

Summary: Star Wars Battlefront II builds upon the popular Battlefront game and gives you more of the same. You get to play the epic Star Wars battles but after playing a while, it feels like the previous game. Nevertheless, it's still a good game with great entertainment value, especially if you are a Star Wars fan. Graphics is rich and music is great. Recommended!
