    Very similar to the first one, but better in every way. Just fantastic. Probably the last SW game i actually liked.

    Star Wars Battlefront II Classic is definitely one of the best Star Wars games that I have played. The Story of the 501st is a good idea and the missions are great. The maps have Easter eggs and are not to big but not to small either. The Multiplayer is still working in 2023 and the Game has also some different modes.

    Some of my best memories come from playing this game with my dad on splitscreen when I was a kid. A timeless classic. Hundreds and hundreds of hours played, and I will never get bored of it. It's probably the only game that I can say I was extremely good at. The first Battlefront was really good, but this one improves upon that in every single way.

    I love this game. I thought the original was awesome and this is even better, with the ability to fight in space which is completely terrific and to finally wield a lightsaber is brilliant. I have this on PSP and it almost seems impossible to carry such a large amount of entertainment in my pocket. I can play with my mates while i'm on the other side of my room and the bonus trials are terrific. I enjoy playing on Episode III environments such as mustafar. You can also ride vehicles such as speeders on Kashyyk and play as characters such as Luke, Yoda, Darth Vader and General Grievous This truly is one of the best games ever made and you can never get bored of it!    … Expand

Comparing it to the EA Battlefront 2, sure that game is fun, but there's something about Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Classic that just makes it so wholesome and fun. This game has many different things to do, whether you want to play during the original trilogy era, or the prequel era it has a treasure trove of content for both. Want to have a giant space battle over Tatooine? Its got it. Want to shoot Gungans on Naboo? Its got it. Want to defend Endor forests as an Ewok? Its got it. Want to have a massive battle on Hoth, and pilot a snowspeeder and take down AT-AT's just like in the movie? Its got it. This game is wholesome, and still holds up despite being older. It's very fun and very replayable and in my 47 hours of gameplay I haven't found any sort of bug or problem with this game. It is arguably one of the all-time best Star Wars games. 10/10 would definitely recommend.… Expand

    Sencillamente el mejor juego de Star Wars.

    Me gustaria poder explicar de manera sencilla y concisa lo simplemente genial e increible que Star Wars Battlefront 2 es, podria incluso llegar al limite de caracteres que MetaCritic ofrece y aun asi mis palabras no harian justicia a semejante obra maestra.

    Dicho lo anterior, si tuviese que explicar por que Star Wars es la joya que es, les puedo decir que:

    El aprovechamiento de los graficos y lo bien que se veia en la consola en sus tiempos y lo bien que ha envejecido a pesar de los 16 años que han pasado desde el dia de su creacion es sencillamente sorprendente, los modelos de los personajes y los escenarios ademas de los efectos se siguen mirando y sientiendo bastante acordes a los filmes y siguen luciendo muy bien hoy dia.

    Los mapas son increiblemente inmersivos, no solo por el nivel de semejanza que comparten con lo que vimos en el filme, sino que tambien estos se ven acomañados por distintos eventos que los hacen incluso mas inmersivos y acordes a los filmes, desde los vehiculos que coinciden con lo visto a la pelicula y cambian dependiendo del mapa que se este jugando, hasta pequeños eventos que ocurren durante el combate, por ejemplo: en Hoth para poder tomar un puesto de mando de los Rebeldes, antes deberemos destruir los generadores de la base rebelde con la ayuda de los AT-AT o en Kashyk, podremos destruir la gran barricada de los Wookie para poder acceder con mayor facilidad y arrasar su base o en Endor, lugar en el cual los Ewok lucharan a nuestro lado para acabar con el imperio o en Tatooine, donde los Jawa seran Creaturas neutrales, las cuales se dedicaran a reparar los daños causados a la infraestructura y la tecnologia del mapa o tambien los Guardias Gamorrianos, los cuales se encargaran de atacar a ambos bandos cuando se encuentren en el palacio de Jabba, detalles que aunque parezcan pequeños en realidad son ENORMES y es de verdad una caricia en el alma tener esta calidad de detalles, los cuales no hacen sino aumentar aun mas la inmersividad que existe a la hora de jugar y diferenciandolo de sus sucesores.

    No voy a mentir, las clases no son "Perfectas", hay algunas que estan muy lejos de serlo, pero no hay ninguna clase que sea realmente desbalanceada (Para bien) clases como el Bothan Spy, el Magna Guardia y el Oficial Imperial se quedan muy atras en comparacion a todas las demas por su poca utilidad dentro del combate y su peculiar estilo de juego, que si bien no las hace clases injugables, son clases algo situacionales y poco efectivas en comparacion a las demas unidades. Pero hablando de las demas, el modo en que todas tienen un proposito y encajan tan bien en los escenarios brindando apoyo de distintos modos hacen del Meta de Star Wars Battlefront uno bastante variado y divertido, puedes jugar cualquiera de las clases y no hay 1 sola que me haya aburrido.

    La implementacion de los Heroes y Villanos dentro de las peleas terrestres es increiblemente divertida y el modo en que los poderes de la fuerza y/o habilidades que poseen los "Heroes y Villanos" esta muy bien implementada, la inmersidad que sientes al jugar con Darth Vader en el Tantive es indescriptible.

    El nuevo modo de juego del cual carecia su predecesor, "Asalto Espacial" es una implementacion sencillamente genial, en el sentido anglosajon de la palabra, no he jugado ningun otro juego de Star Wars que tenga un sistema de combate espacial tan fiel a lo visto en los filmes y con mecanicas sencillamente tan divertidas e inmersivas como lo he podido probar en Battlefront II y creo verdaderamente que esta implementacion deberia ser objeto de estudio para todos aquellos Game Designers que quieran o pretendan hacer algo aunque sea la mitad de divertido como lo es este modo de juego.

    Hay tantas cosas que se me escapan en esta critica, cosas como los Vehiculos y el hecho de poder compartirlos con compañeros los cuales pueden accionar diferentes mecanicas y torretas dentro del mismo y el como la I.A de este juego esta tan bien implementada tanto del lado aliado como del enemigo, ademas del hecho de que conforme vayas jugando inicias con un Rango, mismo que va aumentando conforme vayas jugando al mismo y vayas ganando "Reputacion" dentro del campo de batalla en las distintas batallas, y el como eso afecta el comportamiento de las I.A aliadas...

    Hay tantas cosas por decir de este maravilloso juego, pero pocas que puedan realmente describir lo genuinamente genial que es, asi que en su lugar les dare un consejo.

    Jueguen al mejor juego de Star Wars que se haya creado.    … Expand

    After seeing how EA massacred my boy I had to get back to the classics. Like EA u shutdown what was becoming a promising studio(Pandemic) and basically had full rights to make a carbon copy of this near perfect game just adding better graphics but somehow you mess that up. There are many faults in the game and it wasn't as the masterpiece as I remembered from when I played it back a while ago.

    AIs are one of the best but also one of the worst factors of the game. They sometimes just go afk and stay in one area when the matches become close. There are some parts of some maps where they get stuck like that building in Naboo. But they can be really smart at times like when you are away from the battlefield and come into a 1 v 1 they will actually sidestep when you're shooting at them, crank the difficulty to elite and u might even lose that 1 v 1.

    Guns are not accurate at all. I dont get whether its the reticles or the actual guns but either way its ****.

    Speaking of guns, if u go 1st person you can see they reused models in the SAME classes and there are
    only four factions. This **** was lazy even for ps2 standards.

    Also just a nitpick but jedis with two lightsabers should not have the throwing ability or either they can attack whilst the other one is returning back not in between cuz then whats the point.

    Overall though if you can get past these few mistakes you got a detailed huge maps with unique interactables, investing gamemodes like galactic conquest and the new space battles, varied vehicles, special classes, ofcourse mos eisley assault and one of the greatest online/splitscreen multiplayers if you played it back in its heyday. Its probably worth an 8 but for those modding fanatics out there and the fact that this came out 15 years ago its a 9.    … Expand

    This game is one of the finest pieces of electronic entertainment of all time. In fact I've often described it as the game that made me a gamer.

    It's not without its faults, for example, enemies like to turn around for no reason if you track them with a sniper rifle, making them hard to hit at times, and the award weapon system gives vastly more powerful weapons (with the exception of the Beam Rifle award sniper, that which always bugged me) that outclass players without them meteorically. But these are so vastly overshadowed by the infinite replayability and ahead of its time gameplay that I thoroughly considered just calling it faultless.

    To me, Battlefront II is a defining game of the sixth generation, and I would recommend it to anyone who's willing to play a game with 2005 graphics.    … Expand

    Not as good as the first one, never the less, the force is strong with this one. Heroes become playable characters and may be used in the battlefield for a limited time.The game includes a plethora of great maps, including the movie locations from Episode III. The space battles are a little chaotic and the player will need some practice to get used to them.

I was in freaking medical school at the time, and I'd rush home from rotations just to play. Hell, I chose the easiest rotations my fourth year so I'd have more play time. LOL Never got tired of it.

After completing certain objectives during a mission, you'll be able to play as classic Star Wars characters like Luke, Obi-Wan, Darth Vader, Yoda, and more besides. What really makes Battlefront II all the more fun is the online multiplayer and deathmatch features, which are reason enough to pick up Battlefront II. The game looks great and the controls are tight, while the game as a whole wonderfully captures the feel and tone of the Star Wars universe. All in all, Battlefront II is still worth owning for any and every gamer who likes deathmatch style gameplay, and for Star Wars fans, picking this up is a no-brainer.… Expand

Although, there were some minor details I could not overlook, such as: mediocre graphics, lack of much variety, horrible voice acting, and easy gameplay overall. I never really lost too many battles, unless me or my comrades were being careless. That is really every negative thing I can think about it. It and its predecessor are truly must-have games! I have enjoyed this and will continue to because of its amazing gameplay and who can resist playing as Darth Maul blowing everyone anyway, right? What I really found a lot of fun was the assault mode on Mos Eisley where the villains are pitted against the heroes. I'm surprised how hard it is to find, but it is the game's best kept secret! I would really love to see a Star Wars: Battlefront III, but it got canceled, very sadly. As of now, however, DICE is developing a reboot which is really exciting, but I don't intend on getting the expensive next-gen consoles which it is exclusive to, so maybe I should reconsider them. I would absolutely pre-order it had it been made for Xbox 360, especially if it included more game modes and better online connection. Overall, anyone with an Xbox, PC, or PS2 really must have this title, even if they are not interested in Star Wars.… Expand

The story mode is well put together, even though it's not too much like today's campaigns, it's more of a storytelling style, from a journal of a clone in this elite group called The 501st. The story ties in a lot of loose ends that were in the movies, like what the inhabitants of Kamino did after order 66 was carried out, it mainly takes place during episode 3, between episode 3 and 4, episode 4, and episode 5.
    The combat is either space or land, like I mentioned before, Battlefront 1 had some air and land combat, this has space battles, with giant star ships.
    The space battle game style is very well put together, this is one of my favorite third party titles on the ps2.
    Land battles are pretty great, on the PC, there was the ability to have crap loads of AI, but it isn't that great because of the bugs.
    The PS2 however, is pretty much bug free and has some nice controls.
    Galactic conquest is another mode to play, you take control of a capital ship and you buy upgrades for your troops and conquer enemy planets.
    There is also a huge variety when picking sides and your class, a very well put together game overall, only one problem,,, THE AI IS SO DUMB, the AI on your team that is,, they throw grenades at walls which bounce back and kill them it really sucks, and you need to get good at this game to enjoy it, like,, REALLY GOOD, I am able to slaughter tons of AI with the right setting and weapons, so I am fine, but on the PC version my AI palls die VERY FAST, it's like a genocide (to far?). So, if you won't know if you're good at this game, get the PS2 version, Xbox version is probably the same, but hold off on the PC version, get the PC version when you start to get good, and you want to play against others online, PC version still has some people playing on steam.
    One last thing, a game company is working on battlefront 3, pandemic is not working on it, which is the company that made it before, (Spark or something is making it now)
    Finally as a battlefront fan, I feel i should say this DO NOT BUY BATTLEFRONT RENEGADE SQUADRON FOR THE PSP it is a horrible horrible game, a disappointment and a middle finger to the fans, made by REBELLION, a company that has made a ton of bad games.

    One of my favorite games of all time. Mark M, you do know that you can turn OFF heroes at any time and that most people do that online. The the "Proning" was removed because snipers could use it to glitch through spaces or camp in places that were completely inaccessible.

There are 2 jet-pack characters (4 if you include heroes), the characters are essentially untouched from the original...jeez, what game were you playing? Oh, and lastly, if "the second one just copied the first one", then how is the "first game better"? Uhhg, Headache...… Expand

    Horrible! The first game is better! The battles are sloppy, the characters are horrible, you can't get on the ground all you can do is crouch, playing as a Jedi ruins the battlefront feel, no jet pack characters. The first one was creative, the second one just copied the first one and that's it!

    This is the best game. It is super fun when you have a friend over. When you play two player it is always fun to try and kill each other.

    I give this an 8 and not 10 because the maps dissapointed me. I like a few of the swbf 1 maps (both the Bespin maps) and also the fact that you could choose to have a air battle or foot battle because I like to switch around every so often and there is an easier way of capping command posts from using an aircraft and going straight to a command post.

    This game is great and I don't care what any of you say. This is the best shooter I have ever played. I have played Halo 2 on my friends Xbox and from playing BFII so much I thought Halo 2 sucked. This game is the pinnacle of perfection. At least until/unless they make BFIII.

Naboo Plains!) also its got jedi, which are awesome if u know how to use them well, and hey the game its fun! even offline! its fun fun fun, doesnt get old. the things that made me unhappy is that now killing enemies is a it tougher, i thing the 1st one had smoother controls and crosshairs, but danm the lasers were so slow people could dodge them easily, not with the 2nd one, they go so fast that they are hard to dodge, but yeah, its also hard to shoot ur target, lol. well i give a 9 because of that controls part, but besides that, greast star wars game, best one there is so far, THIS GAME ROCKS, GO BUY IT IF YOU HAVEN'T.… Expand

    This game was totally screwed up when attempting on-line play. I am certain this part of the game was rushed to meet the movie release deadline. Another problem is the terrible background contrasts with the AI enemies. You can't see anyone until they start to kill you even on a big screen or plasma TV.

    the graphics are muddy. the physics, as in every star wars game, could use alot of help. the controls are too loose and could be better implemented. the game just gives off a cheap feel to it and is a total mess. it's not the best shooter but it's far from the worst. fans of star wars, like me, can try to overlook all this and just love the game b/c it's star wars. hardcore the graphics are muddy. the physics, as in every star wars game, could use alot of help. the controls are too loose and could be better implemented. the game just gives off a cheap feel to it and is a total mess. it's not the best shooter but it's far from the worst. fans of star wars, like me, can try to overlook all this and just love the game b/c it's star wars. hardcore 1st person shooter fans should look elsewhere like towards battlefield 2: modern combat or socom 3.… Expand

    This is a very poor sequel to a game that was lots of fun. Graphics should always be better than the first installment. The space battles are SLOW and boring. The enemy AI is weak. Overall a very poor showing for a promising game. How many times can the STAR WARS franchise let down it's fans? Movies SUCK! Games SUCK. Way to go George!!! Thanks for pooping on my childhood memories.

    The signature piece of Battlefront II is the ship-to-ship combat... This element makes Battlefront II feel much more like the complete Star Wars experience. [Dec 2005, p.108]

    It captures the thrills of the original, and spices up a few areas while adding some new things. Unfortunately, space battles drag down the total package; but at least it's trying something different.
