Star Wars: Battlefront II (PS2)

When we see little kids mimicking asthmatics and waving torches at each other, we know Star Wars is upon us once again. Now wars games have come in many shapes, sizes and genres, yet all have a common stigma attached to them - in no small part due to the fact that historically, most have had about as much appeal as Noel Edmonds. But this third person shooter cum war-sim is the follow up to the biggest selling Star Wars game of all time, so expectations from both developers and the public are soaring high. Now you would be forgiven for thinking that after 6 films spanning four decades we would know everything there is to know about Lucas’ saga. Well not ...  Read the complete review

In my opinion, this is one of the best, or THE best, Playstation 2 game that you can buy. It is a 3rd person futuristic shooter, based on the Star Wars series. I bought this shortly after it came out after enjoying the first in the Battlefront series and even though only a year spaces them, in release times, it is far, far better. The story mode is improved with Jedi's, proper objectives as opposed to simple conquest maps, galactic conquest is improved and instant action has more game modes. The real improvment though, is the online experience. I am a Playstation 3 gamer, who plays quality games such as Metal Gear Online, Call of Duty 4 ...  Read the complete review

Star Wars Battlefront 2 is an action game for the Playstation 2 console developed by Pandemic. This time around the game has an actual story mode which is a huge bonus, you play as one of the Clone troopers as he recalls the battles he fought in which will take you all around the galaxy from Geonosis all the way to the Death Star itself. The actual story is a little thin as the game really serves as a glorified tutorial to help you learn the ropes. Still it is better than nothing and they did the voice of the clone troopers to come in and record lines for the game. Gameplay has really evolved from the previous titles most significantly with the ...  Read the complete review

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 is a game that differs slightly from the standard FPS format. The ability to switch from first person to third person at will is an interesting addition to any shooter but that is not the major change. The biggest difference between this game and the vast majority of FPS's is the fact that this game almost encourages you to lay down the life of one soldier in order to secure victory for the masses. That is not to say that the game encourages any kamikaze tactics or suicide but the lack of any sort of cover system pushes any player towards a more run-and-gun style of play. Also contributing to this feeling of recklessness with your ...  Read the complete review

Star wars battlefront 2 is a game primarily based on the third star wars movie, but you can still play as troops and characters from later episodes. There are many game modes for playing. There is a campaign style system, where you start off playing as the clones, but as time goes on, it follows the story from the third film, until they turn into the stormtroopers. This campaign is good fun, but there are no "bosses" as such, and you aren't a "one man army" it is more of a team based game. Another game play mode is galatic conquest, in which you have to take over the galaxy, by moving your spaceships and taking planets. When you move a ...  Read the complete review
