    This game is amazing, one of the best games on the ps2, with so much to do! Galactic conquest is very long, but fun. heros versus villians is a blast, and the maps are very good also!

    Totally wish the new BF2 could have been this fun and cool. This one will be my forever favorite! I loved this title so much. I ended up playing it on PS2 first and then got it again for PC later on. This is what inspired the new BF’s but they are not nearly as good and everyone who played the older BF’s know that. Give this one a try if you haven’t! You upgrade your troopers byTotally wish the new BF2 could have been this fun and cool. This one will be my forever favorite! I loved this title so much.

Give this one a try if you haven’t! You upgrade your troopers by getting high scores and chains. You can play the Jedi’s too and pick your levels to play on. The one player campaign is great as well but the multiplayer is where this game shines!… Expand

    The game is a farming simulator against ai. It is fun. If the game had online multiplayer or more difficult ai it would be a six out of ten.

    In my opinion this is one of the greatest Star Wars games ever. I never played this game as a younger kid, so I don't come at with any nostalgia bias, but when I bought this game and played it, I was amazed at how fun it was for being more than 15 years old. Comparing it to the EA Battlefront 2, sure that game is fun, but there's something about Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Classic that justIn my opinion this is one of the greatest Star Wars games ever.

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

    The best star wars game i ve ever played, it has so much content, the battles are so inmersive, it also has a campaign about the clone wars before and after order 66 (with cinematics and a clone diary), the put all of their effort to make this game awesome and they did it, one of the best games in history

    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.

    Space battles can be overwhelming at first, but once you get used to them, it's pretty amazing. [Dec 2005, p.82]

    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.
