    Any game at full price that locks content/characters behind more payment or else requires you to spend 40h to achieve is not just a bad game but a mockery to it's own customer and shouldn't be given any excuses.
    This right here even if it had the best campaign and multiplayer in the world would still not deserve any higher critic than 0, because it's essentially a scam, and scamming

    This right here even if it had the best campaign and multiplayer in the world would still not deserve any higher critic than 0, because it's essentially a scam, and scamming is...well, unethical, a crime. And precisely because it's done by a big shot corporation like EA, precisely because it's done to the Star Wars name it should be taken even more seriously, because if it's excusable for them then it's excusable for everyone (you may say it somewhat sets a standard).
    It doesn't matter if the rest of the game is good when you have that said, however even judging the game on it's own merit, minus the trickery, I have one thing to say: it can't even be on the same level as it's 2005 predecessor (besides graphics? but BF2 Classic had great graphics for it's time so, is it even valid point?), a 13 year old game...let that sink in.

    I love Star Wars. I hate EA. So I am in a love-hate relationship with this game. But today I learned that I hate EA more then I love Star Wars. The only joy I get out of the money I spent is to monitor the stock market and watch EA:s stocks plummet like a turd out of a pigeons ass.

    Heroes vs Villains: Just don't. The number of bot players who just stands there and being silly is.. well, silly. You'll have to requeue a minimum of 5 times to get a match where you are not haunted by idle bots. These bots could be dealt with SO EASY, just remove time-based reward system to a performance reward system. I can't believe they thought that was a good idea...

    On a positive note... It's buggy, clunky and not even slightly reworked combat system from battlefront makes it justified to stick a fork in an electric socket and idle for the rest of the match because of the symptom of being dead.

    Galactic Conquest: It's one-sided like in Battlefront. Nothing has changed. It's still, "Protect the Walkers" which is fun for a few runs. But then you always notice that there is 9/10 times one overly dominant team, and if you're not on that team, you'll exercise your rights to die a lot. Add to it the cards that get quite OP at a very high rarity level which will punish the crap out of new players, the amount of fun will be limited.

    I will not try to be forgiving to EA. They've had plenty of chances to redeem themselves from disgusting business practices and failed to do so every time. I just hope I get to enjoy watching their stocks a while longer.

    -Generally: Way to less content.
    -Wannabe innovative menu. Who designed this? (Not terrible but mostly useless layout for the main
    menu)
    -The grind: If you liked bf3/4´s progression system this is not for you. It takes ages to get the stuff you
    want.
    -Bugs: Server conection,lag and rubber banding (still for many players unplayable and they haven´t
    learned anything from bf3/4
    Objects plop into existence at like 50-70m from you (playing on high graphics, shouldn´t be a
    problem for their 14-th game on Frostbyte 3)
    -False advertising:
    Campaign: Experience Star wars form the imperial point of view.....for like 3 missions. Then you
    are a rebel. The end.
    Lootboxes: "If you play a certain class you will get rewards in your lootboxes for this class." (in
    the angry joe interview) - 30h later: Random **** for chars you don´t want to play, while you
    have to unlock the stuff you want throu the endless grind

    I´m really sad how this game turned out to be. There is a solid shooter, with an epic setting, below all the f*ckups. I just hope ea makes a 180 and lets dice and criterion take the wheel. They know how to save the games their publisher butchered at launch, so i can return in one year to give it a 7/10...

    The Hillary Clinton pay-to-play scheme merges with a long line at the DMV. Waiting for upgrades to better weapons and abilities leaves you just another Star Wars extra, a putz, a grunt until a Darwinian length progression system finally allows you to be good enough to win. Is it fun? I'll let you know when I get there.

    As a Star Wars Fan, i am very disapointed. Looks great, the first minutes are good and nice to play but after a very short time, you are basically forced to buy the f****king lootboxes. The game would get a 8/10 if it is a Free2Play Game but as a Full-Price-Game, it is bullsh*t

    Graphics are beautiful, but this is not a game. It's a grind feast. Horrible game mechanics all centered around the casino loot box system that was pulled at the last minute. The downloadable content is a joke. Save your money. Don't give it to this company. They did the Star Wars franchise a huge disservice.

Unfortunately, this attempt failed miserably. Not only was it mired in controversy, but the core mechanics and gameplay are lackluster and leave much to be desired. Melee heroes are difficult and unwieldy with their forced movement animations, gunplay is often interrupted because of the recharging weapon system instead of conventional ammo, battles are most often confined and formulaic with a few strategies leading to victory each time. The classes still do not reflect the classic battlefront feel and are largely unbalanced with certain classes being rendered obsolete on certain maps while others are nearly unstoppable. Heroes too are unbalanced as some heroes have a plethora of ranged abilities that prevent enemies from getting close enough to attack effectively, whereas others have abilities that are largely useless in most situations. Map design is uninspired and even inaccurate at times with the majority of maps being three-lane just like Call of Duty's maps. This leaves little room for creativity and style and forces a type of gameplay that often makes multiplayer boring and repetitive. Star cards are an interesting concept and might have been something good in this mess of a game, unfortunately, the star card system was poorly implemented and is largely centered around small boosts to certain abilities or the replacement of old abilities with new ones. This would have been an excellent idea if the player was not limited to three star cards and ability replacement cards did not count towards this total. In that way, the player would have much more freedom to tailor their experience and play style to their liking which would create new and interesting ways of fighting. Some classes and heroes have appearances which can be unlocked with in game currency earned through leveling up and completing milestones. Through milestones, players can also unlock new weapons for each of the four main classes. These weapons allow for some customization and variation, though not by much seeing as it takes just as long to kill an enemy with a rapid-fire weapon as it does with a triple-burst or single-fire. Sadly, the other two classes have no or very little choices for appearances and no weapon choices. This makes two out of the six classes seem disjointed, not to mention each special class is greatly varied which makes playing different factions a unique experience, but also makes for a sharp learning curve. The Campaign is bare bones and poorly written with predictable stories around every corner and a meaningless narrative that was never actually finished. Overall, this game is fun if you like Star Wars, multiplayer, and maybe a bit of customization, but if you can't overlook its plethora of flaws, you might want to give this one a pass. Expand

This version of the game comes with everything that used to be P2W and all the (non-achievement related) cosmetics unlocked for free (rendering the in-game currency you earn utterly pointless, and thankfully meaning no macro-transactions/gambling boxes).

    PROS
    DICE have captured the look and feel of the Star Wars universe perfectly, as they did with the first Battlefront. The sound of the blaster fire, the hum and hiss of the lightsabers, even the stormtrooper's boots slamming into the metal flooring... all perfect.

    CONS
    After a few hours play it becomes apparent that this game is a thin Star Wars veneer slapped over a mediocre, at best average, shooter. Even with all the predatory macro-transactions/gambling loot boxes removed, it is painfully clear that the game was designed from the ground up around those principles.

    The starting guns are super weak (especially the Specialist, who is an absolute chore to level as their starting kit is arguably the worst in the game. 2+ headshots required to kill someone with their sniper rifle, made worse with the spam dodging) which is further compounded by not having access to any of the better weapons or loadout cards that can give characters a significant boost to their damage and/or survivability. Plenty of other games (like COD for example) have the better equipment and guns locked behind levels, but in those games I never felt that the disadvantage for not having access to those weapons was so marked and extreme. And this is even more pronounced when you see people with fully kitted out hero/villain characters.

    The maps and spawns are cluttered, especially on the smaller game modes. And the bigger maps are often a maze-like convoluted mess. Combined with the above issues, as a starting player, you had better get used to long and confusing runs back to the action (unless you are fortunate enough to be able to spawn on a squad-mate who isn't engaged in combat). Which unfortunately can result in you spending 2-3 minutes running back only to appear through a door near the capture point and get one-shot by an enemy hero/villain, or just a normal trooper with the better gear from a side spawn that you had no idea was there.

    Ultimately I have played this game for about 8 hours now to give it a good shot, and will probably play some more (as my friends also picked it up), but I cannot imagine they will want to play it for more than a single evening before returning to other games. And I cannot see this game still taking up install space in a weeks time. Definitely do NOT buy it, unless it is heavily discounted and you happen to be a real fan of the Star Wars universe. The only reason it got a three score was because it was free. If I had actually paid for this game, then the score would definitely be lower.

    TL:DR - A beautiful game that captured the look and feel of the Star Wars universe incredibly well.
    But after a few hours the novelty wears off and you get to see it for what it is. A middling to below average shooter. A convoluted mess of a game, and despite the predatory rubbish having been removed it's obvious that it was built on a foundation of micro-transactions, gambling and P2W.

    En la parte sencilla:
    - Graficos 10/10, son muy bueno, vistosos y bastante espectaculares
    - Sonido 9/10, como los graficos está muy cuidado
    - Jugabilidad 7/10, no es que sea mala pero tampoco es espectacular. En comparación con otros juegos recientes como Destiny 2 o Bf1 el movimiento es bastante malo, que roza lo ridiculo en mapas como Yavin
    - Single Player 6/10 en el tiempo que dura (4h) una historia buena con demasiados saltos (tiene la pinta que tendria que haber durado el triple), pero si consideramos que te afectan las cartas de las cajas al modo de un solo jugador, que es increiblemente facil, que la IA es estupida y la duración bajaría a un 3/10 si lo compras para single player
    - Arcade (contra bots) 2/10, una IA estupida y un sentimiento de perdida de tiempo hace que no merezca lo mas mínimo el modo, por no hablar que las recompensas son para echarse a llorar solo necesitas jugar mas de una semana (ocho dias) para conseguir una caja de recompensas o 20 dias para desbloquear un personaje
    - Multiplayer 3/10: La mejor palabra para describirlo es frustrante y desbalanceado, y cuando esa frustración llegas a la conclusión que es buscada por el desarrollador para que compres cajas de recompensas con dinero real para poder competir minimamente, detallando cada una de las partes:
    * Mapas: Visualmente muy buenos pero cuando puedes decir quien va a ganar en los primeros ¿20? segundos de la partida, con diseños de mapa que varian entre horrorosos y cabreantes...
    * Modos de juego: Solo hay dos modos de juego minimamente divertidos para el jugador casual el 20vs20 y el 10vs10 en naves, los otros modos de juego son demasiado dependientes del pay-to-win que han convertido el juego, especialmente el de heroes contra villanos incluso en esos llegas a la conclusion que da igual lo que hagas por que las recompensas con las mismas (si eres el primero con 20.000 puntos te pueden dar 350 creditos y si eres el ultimo con 3.000 puntos 320) la gente que no botea el mapa es simplemente un spam de campear muertes si un objetivo de ganar el mapa, hay que sumar que en vez de tener mecanicas de come-back como en bf1 para que el que pierde pueda competir hay lo contrario al que gana le dan mas puntos para que tenga mas y mejores heroes y pueda ya aplastar al contricante.
    Esto es extrapolable a nivel de jugador, a igualdad de habilidad al que tiene mejores cartas le dan mas puntos (tanto directamente como por matar mas) para que pueda coger los heroes antes y mejores para ya aplastar a los demas...
    Progresión: Es el quid de la cuestión, igual que en BF son practicamente sidegrades aqui no, aqui las cartas pueden ser increiblemente desbalanceantes desde mas vida a mas daño (del orden del 10-20% hasta el 100% con algunos combos de personajes/habilidades) por no hablar de los heroes dopados que se convierten en maquinas de picar personajes y todo parece diseñado exprofeso (las cartas, los colores de las mismas, etc..) para que alguien tenga que soltar € en compra de cajas o ser verdaderamente aplastado en una experiencia horrible y frustrante y la progresión es leeenta de narices, estas hablando de jugar 4 o 5h para poder comprar una caja que te dará 3 o cuatro articulos aleatorios que a) tienen que ser de la clase que te guste, b) tienen que ser del modo de juego que te guste, c) no tienen que ser repetidos, d) ya si nos ponemos tienen que ser de mejor calidad que la chusta blanca ya que con cada grado se multiplica por dos la efectividad de algunas habilidades con lo cual la posibilidad de que te toque despues de esas 4h el objeto que necesitas es bien ¿del 0,1% quizas?, ¿puedes fabricarlo?, si pero despues de quizas 40 o 50 horas de frustración.
    Y si compras cajas no compras personajes... y a los personajes tienes que doparlos (despues de comprarlos) comprando cajas de heroe que dan cartas (aleatorias por supuesto)...
    Y todo esto repetirlo (para personajes y para heroes) de nuevo si en vez en tierra quieres jugar con las naves... y es el suma y sigue ya que tienes que pasar con 40-50h en cada modo para ser minimamente competitivo y no ser aplastado de un horroroso y debalanceado combate o soltar (cuando las activen que lo pondran no lo dudes) 40-50€ en cajas minimo por modo de juego (tierra,-heores-navez) sobre el precio del juego.

    Esto hace que en vez de ser divertido jugar se convierta en una frustración mayuscula en la que para la gente que paga se fomenta el que pueda divertirse usando al resto de jugadores como blanco en vez de buscar un terreno de juego equitativo para todos, y todas y cada una de las mecánicas del juego fomentan eso (cartas, heroes, diseño de los mapas, etc.)

    Es por eso que le pongo un 0/10, por que simplemente no es un juego divertido para todos los jugadores sino que han diseñado un juego en que los que pagan € puedan divertirse a costa de los que no pagan.

Then to top it all off it still has the long in the tooth problems of frost bite, the sound engine is still absolutely horrible and vault pathing is laughably bad.

    Now to the gameplay... I guess the republic was dumb enough to send troops into battle without side arm, there isn't any... If there is its tied to a cool-down, yes a cool-down... Then you have the Jedi which are what I can only describe as immortal. I don't even care about how crap the micro transaction stuff is; this is, at its core, a bad game. You name a problem with game play and this will have it somehow... I hate myself for buying it, I even contacted EA to try and have the remove it from my list, they wont. Ill give it a bar out of pity for at-least being a game that someone is being forced to make update for...

Also you will need in game money when going up against a team that has pretty much maxed out their abilities. To be able to achieve weapon and class milestones to progress an to be reward with in game money so you can buy class and hero crates . Of course the reason for this is that the game was designed from the ground up with MTX in mind to entice people to spend money for in game currency so they can apply it to their character builds.Also matches are starting without filling both teams to 20 players each. And playing 17v10 for a couple of mins is not fun. And for a game that focuses on the multiplayer aspect more so that story telling rpg side it really isn't worth it because of those glaring faults. The game could be really enjoyable to where you could play endless hours, but there are to many balance type issues.

The only good game mode here is starfighter assault, but please don't buy this game for one game mode. I have not played the single-player campaign because I've consistently heard it is dull and boring and I figured I might as well not waste my time.

    Don't listen to the developers say that they are trying to make the game better for the players, because they aren't. They're trying to make the game better for them, in that, they want to alter the gameplay of an otherwise great shooter to ensure that frustration leads to you spending real money for loot boxes (which they will most undoubtedly re-institute at a later date under a different guise). So do yourself a favor and don't buy this game, it's a trash game with a trash company behind it. For that matter, do yourself another favor and don't ever buy an EA game, they need to go bankrupt for all the sh*t they put us gamers through.

MP is just a mock to make you feel you are participating great battles, but when you turn off all those fancy "behind map" effects it turns to be one big hollow with few players on the map. So i went to play campaign and only prologue was enjoyable., but simple beyond measure. Battle of Endor was boring, only at landing pad there was some action, but again it was extremely hard to die there, only possible by leaving Iden in the middle of the pad for 30 sec. Dauntless - was annoying as hell, and almost unplayable with mouse. i was literally crashing on every turn on some space ships. No mention that it took me dozen of deaths to land at rebel spaceship since game give you no clue what to do in the hangar instead of just pressing button like in original Battlefront... The Observatory made me quit - indoctrinated spec ops guy just walks along Jedi, and speak like old friends .. was that a joke DiCE? Game spent more time on downloading than me on playing it. Expand

    - frostbite engine is pretty
    - a good amount of variety

    The bad:
    - frostbite engine: worst feeling player movement physics in the history of AAA games
    - maps somehow immediately feel stale after only a few weeks of having the game
    - Balance in large modes is completely ruined by heroes. About a minute into any match the heroes will be up and will be for the rest of the match. They're so horribly balanced that you are totally screwed if you're anything but another hero - there is no defense nor offense. This leads to heroes snowballing entire games, and a good hero player can effectively tear around the map with impunity. Heroes are so inexpensive that even after dieing they can just play the same one again - there is no limit.
    - starting the game with no characters leveled is a horribly punishing experience. The base classes and those that aren't leveled up are at a severe disadvantage. So have fun several dozen hours in game just leveling up things enough to be playable.

It is just becomes complete parody no matter how you look at it and it is impossible to take anything or any character in the game even remotely seriously. I know Dice is more woke than most gaming companies these days, and that says a lot since most are, so it is obvious they need to squeeze a strong womanz in there at point center. It is still always as disgusting when they put quality and believability in the backseat for just needing to stow their silly feminist ideals down your throat though.

    2 - Horrible HUD options. I like to play games with as little HUD as possible however my only option is to turn all the HUD to off. That means I miss all the tutorial messages etc and can't see interaction prompts etc which is very annoying. It is such a basic thing to have some basic HUD options to tailor to the players taste for immersion that many games get wrong and it needs to stop.

Dice has done a wonderful job of taking what was a balanced template in the original battlefront 2 and royally **** it up... Bravo dice! a once great developer who is now a slave to ea making games to their financially hungry taste with no interest in the finished product. You managed to **** up an ip that was un****able until Kathleen Kennedy came along. Expand

    A lot of the poor reviews on this game are the result of the micro-transaction controversy. While I'm as pissed off about that as anyone, my score is based purely on that the game *isn't very good*.

    I'm not a big multiplayer guy. I passed on the first game because it had no single player content, so theoretically, I'm the guy they're trying to win back by adding that content back in,

    I'm not a big multiplayer guy. I passed on the first game because it had no single player content, so theoretically, I'm the guy they're trying to win back by adding that content back in, and honestly, I feel tricked by the marketing.

    The single player campaign of this game is a joke... the writing is mediocre, the gameplay is dull, and the premise that was advertised is abandoned pretty much immediately. Add to all this, that it was incredibly short... clearly a tacked on feature, not a core experience for a 60$ price point. All in all, it just wasn't any fun. The MP is fine, but nothing really sets it apart for me from anything else I've played, with a Star Wars re-skin. I got bored after 10 hours and wandered off to play something else.

    I wasn't expecting a Witcher 3 level experience or anything, but if you're going to offer single player, you can't make it shorter and less detailed than your average Call of Duty snooze-fest...

Не удивительно почему в режиме воздушных битв с трудом набираются игроки. Герои не доработаны и дисбаланс ощущается в схватке 1 на 1. Играть нормально только с игроками +/- своего уровня, но не когда половина вражеской команды это ветераны 999 уровня. Становится невозможно играть, а это, на минуточку, ПРИ ОТКЛЮЧЕННОМ ДОНАТЕ! Страшно представить какой ужас творился на старте игры. Мало того что играется через жопу, так еще донат драконовский был. Ужас..

    Сюжетная компания жалкий пшик, не блещет сюжетом. Меня бы в 10-15лет может еще удивила, но сейчас для меня это жалкий фанфик по Звездным войнам и жалкие потуги в неожиданный поворот.

    Взял по бесплатной раздаче в EGS. Боже, как хорошо что я не брал в этот дерьмовый кусок кода даже по скидке. Не покупайте её, игра абсолютно недоработана и не сбалансирована!

    I honestly signed up for an account just to leave a review on this game. I have star wars battlefront II for the PS4 and I hate what they have done to the franchise.

    They took the old battlefront game and utterly ruined it.

    Heroes are nonexistant/worthless. There is a hero battle mode but the heroes are underpowered (unless you're blocking constantly, two storm troopers can take you down in about 10 seconds), have no speed like in the old games (so you can't close the distance either) and overall are very poorly balanced.

    The survival mode and battles are okay, but are very focused around the secondary skill and the pickups from around the world. And for some reason all troops have the ability to heal yet heroes can't, another reason heroes are underpowered.

    Shields have become all but worthless, as compared to the old ps2 games, you can no longer shoot through your shield, and in fact was made even worse because when you have a personal shield up you can't shoot, use skills or even melee other enemies whereas they can run up and melee you to death.

    Honestly this has turned the ps2 version of star wars battlefront 1/2 into simply another Call of Duty, first person run-and-gun.

    I probably missed a bunch of other things too but these were the most prominent things that came to mind when thinking about it.

    Do not buy this game, honestly its not even worth downloading a free demo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not only is this game a buggy mess, but it forces you to play as a fascist. After the first mission I was done with the game. EA please stop making Star Wars games you are no good at them. This and Fallen Order are terrible and I am not even going to try Squadrons, even though it's free right now on PS+. I used to love the old Battlefront games so I figured that I would like this, but no it's just a cash grab pay to win advertisement for the online pvp. Clearly made by people who don't understand Star Wars or games for that matter. When playing a game you should instantly like the character you play as otherwise you will try to kill them over and over again until you decide to delete the entire thing. That's two EA Star Wars games I've deleted after a great disappointment. I really hope one day we will get good SW games again, but know it won't be from EA. Expand

    Even thought the game has amazing graphics the micro transactions present in this game are 'pay-to-win' and promote gambling to children. Even though EA has temporarily removed them, they also stated they will reintroduce them later. This standard is unacceptable in the gaming industry and no one should be supporting the shady and anti-consumer practices of EA.

    Rotten apple in pretty wrapping. The single player campaign is just a short afterthought, this game is all about multiplayer, and the multiplayer is below all standards with its baffling levels of pay to win elements. The amounts of money you need to dish out to make this game enjoyable will give you a much better return spent anywhere else.

    Apart from the great Starfighter Assault mode Battlefront II is a mess of conflicting ideas, uneven mechanics and of course questionable monetization practices. DICE is facing long months of salvaging the game and the studio’s good name. [01/2018, p.32]

    Even the tinsel of the Star Wars world cannot hide the silly story and the boring singleplayer gameplay, or the necessity to accumulate the credits in the crate hunting in multiplayer. Battlefront II pleases as a genuine shooter in the beautiful scenery, but EA should deserve a slap into the face for their mad progression system.
