    This DLC really should have been included as part of the main story. It just continues where the last game left off.

    A free, three level DLC update for Battlefront II's single-player portion that picks up where the main game's heartbreaking cliffhanger of a conclusion left off. Limited to just a trio of stages there's not much this add-on could have hoped to do from a narrative standpoint. Especially since it botches what should have been a big emotional moment by having none of the other charactersA free, three level DLC update for Battlefront II's single-player portion that picks up where the main game's heartbreaking cliffhanger of a conclusion left off. Limited to just a trio of stages there's not much this add-on could have hoped to do from a narrative standpoint. Especially since it botches what should have been a big emotional moment by having none of the other characters really react to Del's death. Which kind of hurt to see given how much I grew to love this cast by the time the base story offering had ended.

    Resurrection's brief plot does manage to make a little bit of an impact though by successfully concluding Iden Versio's tale completely, rather than leaving her ultimate fate and life after what we got to see while holding the controller up in the air outside of maybe some obscure novel hidden in the far reaches of the EU like so many Star Wars games before it have done. I also appreciated how it broke away from the post-ROTJ, pre-TFA safe space nobody else seems brave enough to stray from these days, while introducing a potential new protagonist and direction for DICE to make use of in further expansions or possibly the next full entry in the Battlefront series.

    Plus, I was reminded of just how much I enjoyed the core gameplay. The first stage centered entirely around ship combat is overly long and a bit tedious, but everything that follows is great. The mix of open area ground battles, corridor shootouts, and aerial dogfights is still very entertaining for as long as it lasts.

    It's brevity is really the only thing this DLC has working against it, and even that is somewhat offset by the fact that it's free. Inconsequential? Maybe, but hardcore Star Wars fans should still get a kick out of Resurrection provided they actually enjoyed the time they spent with Inferno Squad the first time around. However, even if the single-player part of the package wasn't your cup of tea it's legitimately hard to fault this bonus bit of content too much no matter how miniscule it may be when you consider that the developer isn't asking anything for it.    … Expand

    This new section of the solo campaign is very classic but interesting when you are a Star Wars fan. For the others, it may be clearly dispensable. AI is totally stupid (especially on Vardos) and the planet have too many "corridors". Fortunately, the beautiful environments of the Stellar Destroyer can compensate Vardos's problems. Fortunately, it's totally free.
