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!!!!
I only recently bought Battlefront 1 because it was reduced to only 20 dollars & I am a big fan of Star Wars. I figured I'd take a chance on a Star Wars game even though usually they disappoint me a lot, but this time I was instantly addicted. Because I liked it so much, the next week I went out & bought Battlefront 2 & its even better.
I found it a lot harder than the first one at first. You seem to have to be much more accurate with your shooting to take down your enemies on the new one than before & enemy AI seems a LOT more intelligent than on Battlefront 1.
After playing a few levels on Campaign mode, I soon picked up the new combat system & was back to kicking some CIS butt again in no time. Many of the cool features from Battlefront 1 are back (switchable 1st & 3rd person views, different characters to choose when you respawn etc) but its the many new features that make this title stand out above its predecessor, especially the ability to switch to a different class of soldier while standing at one of your command posts.
Campaign mode is much better than on the first game because it actually has mission based objectives to complete rather than just winning by taking command posts / depleting enemy reinforcements (which you cant do anyway as they have unlimited reinforcements & yours go down & replenish when you complete an objective). Also it now has an in depth storyline following how an elite unit of Clone troopers eventually becomes "Vaders Fist", the most feared imperial batallion in the galaxy.
Galactic Conquest mode is more in depth too & you have to actually build your army & fleet up from nothing, spending the credits you earn from winning battles on unlocking new troops & bonuses to use in other battles. The rules are similar to before but you now take turns to move your fleet around space & you will fight when you either meet an enemy fleet in space or attack an enemy controlled planet.
The new space battles are great to break up the ground war battles, but take a little while to get used to at first & other new features such as playable Jedi & Sith are cool too. There are many hero / villain characters you can control in the game such as Darth Maul, Darth Vader, Evil Anakin, Luke Skywalker, Obi Wan, Yoda, Boba & Jango Fett, Han Solo, Leia & even the Emperor. Each have their own unique combos & moves. You can also play as various indigenous species in 'hunt' mode battles, such as Tuskan Raiders, Jawas, Ewoks, Gungans & Geonosians. Even the standard factions have new weapons & characters, such as Commanders who can rally nearby troops into a frenzy, a rebel spy who uses a cloaking device to sneak up on the enemy invisibly, a new droid with totally new weapons including a poison projectile & engineers in place of pilots on the land battles, who are now equipped with a shotgun.
There are some welcome returns from the previous game within the maps of Battlefront 2, such as modified versions of Hoth, Endor, Mos Eisley & Geonosis, but there are some really cool new maps such as the Tantive IV (the shootout on Leia's ship that is boarded by the empire at the very beginning of Episode IV), Jabba Palace, The Death Star Interior & new maps from Episode III such as Mustafar, Utapau & the space battle over Coruscant.
All in all, this is a great game with a ton of replay value whether you are playing solo or split screen with a friend. I havent tried it online as I have no hispeed connection, but I can only imagine that it would be a lot of fun.
If you are a fan of Star Wars, or just a fan of nonstop action packed shooters.... then this title is for you.
I was blown away by the release of SW BF1, and i didn't eve care mch about star wars at the time (I mean let's face it, episodes 1 and 2 have sucked)
But star wars battlefront 2 rocked!
it's awesme gameplay was awesome, the jedis just as awesome, and overall, a fully emersed experience.
The space battles were a little iffy, but screw that, THIS GAME ROCKS!
Even if ur not a star wars fan, buy this game.
