Star Wars: Battlefront (PS2)

This is a review of the hit game called Star Wars Battlefront for the PS2, which is also on other consoles such as XBOX and PC. As the movie franchise has had a big success they decide to bring out games to cover the story or a story that is new. Star Wars Battlefront is a whole new type of Star Wars game, it is a 3rd person shooter, which enables you to choose your troop, choose the empire you follow and to even choose where you want to start on the battlefield. There are many modes in the game; there is the Campaign, which you will follow throughout the story of two eras' in the Star Wars universe. Then there is Galactic Conquest which practically is you ...  Read the complete review

Star wars is one of those rare entities that spans generations of fans whilst creating new ones all the time simply because people either like it because they DO like it, or because they think they SHOULD like it because everybody else seems to, which i find rather irritating, the same reason Man U have all those irritating little ****** who support them in devon. I am one of those people that usually gets annoyed when people say 'oh the originaly was far better' in a definately maybe vs whats the story kind of way, as i find these people just think its cool to dislike what is new.However when it came to the star wars series of films, well im sorry but the new films just ...  Read the complete review

Star Wars games are very much like the new films - much anticipated but don't quite live up to expectation. This game bucks the trend in many ways - its great fun and looks fantastic but not quite enough for true longevity. It does, however, do exactly what it sets out to do: create an immersive frantic battleground on which to go to war with the enemy on various planets in the star wars universe.

The front end graphics are a bit poor but the game is interspersed with clips from the ...  Read the complete review

Star Wars battlefront is an extremely enjoyable game to play; it is based on the star wars films and involves the player in a role playing position as either a clone or a droid. Within each category a player can choose specific extra abilities such as a jet pack or a medic pack, etc. There is also the chance, in some maps, to enter a vehicle such as a X-Wing fighter or an AT-AT, etc. Anyway, the game is in general, fantastic. It is one of my all time favourites. The aim to the game is to conquer a map by means of capturing command posts or by simply killing everyone on the opposing side. In this version you cannot be a hero ...  Read the complete review

When this first came out, I was not that excited about it but the more I saw it around, the more interested I was. I finally got the game second-hand and boy was it worth it! Great things about the game are: Action- There is never a dull moment in the battles! From ewoks firing arrows at heavily armoured stormtroopers to flying rebel starfighters, you are always in the thick of it which is great until you realise that an enemy is behind you firing at your head. Weapons- Personally I just go for a bog standard infantry trooper with a rifle. I do more damage firing lasers in the general direction of the enemy than trying to snipe them or throw ...  Read the complete review
