Quitando todas las polémicas con respecto a las micro transacciones que tuvo el juego en su salida y luego se solucionaron, el juego ha sido finalmente abandonado por EA y quedando en el olvido (es verdad que los primeros meses se añadieron personajes, mapas y contenido nuevo). La jugabilidad de este shooter es bastante buena, además de los modos de juego que no están nada mal. La música es propia de Star Wars (por lo que es buenísima) y el apartado artístico es correcto. Cabe destacar que la historia me gustó mucho y se la recomiendo a todos los fans de Star Wars. El problema radica en que actualmente no hay soporte del juego, por lo que hay hackers en todas las partidas, y en que no hay absolutamente ningún objetivo que te incentive a jugar. Aun así el juego no está nada mal, pero a día de hoy no lo puedo recomendar debido a estos problemas en el multijugador. 7,3/10

    I didn't play at its realese, but the game is defenetly better than his predessesor. All the eras are present as well as their characters. They did add a single player mode but it was pretty bad.
    Solid multiplayer, but that still not it.

Cause I thought that Lucasfilm owns the rights of the actor likeness so they can continue using those characters in futures games so they don't have to pay the actors every time they wanted to use that character.

    This game is doing the same cliche. You get a character that is on the other side of the band and then during the third act finds that his/her actions are doing more hurting than good. It's so difficult to have a character to stay on his believes through the end of the game? That's my main critic of the story.    … Expand

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    This game has had a massive resurgence in recent years. The multiplayer mode is pretty good with lots of fun game modes and maps. The campaign is very awful with a handful of fun sections. The story is incredibly dumb and not worth playing. Offline modes aside from campaign are also good. With the removal of loot crates, this game is pretty solid.

I don't care that they've already dropped the costs associated with unlocking the most expensive characters (Vader, etc), because the root of the issue is still front and center; paying anything above $60 for the baseline content of the game is unacceptable and driven by corporate greed. It's evident that EA cares nothing for their player-base, because if they did, they wouldn't be nickel-and-diming us the way they currently are in SWBF II. To keep it PG - Shame on you, EA.… Expand

Taking the battlefield classes into every generation of star wars with the fixed star card system rewarding investing time in each class as you unlock more cards as you level up, which carries over to heros and ships aswell. The tokens from the first game are gone and now heroes and specialists are usable through your performance through battle points, which rewards good play and not luck which is a massive improvement over its predecessor.The game captures the look and sound of stars wars perfectly like the previous game but they brought the gameplay to match. The gunplay is smooth and precise particularly in 3rd person and the star fighting while took a bit of getting used to is an unexpected highlight. Heroes are fun to play with unique abilities obliterating opponents but hero v hero is a bit clunky, however with 22 heros 11 on each side, all available from the start all with their own star cards to unlock adds replayability to a satisfying gameplay loop. In conclusion while it stumbled out the gate dices battlefront 2 is a great time, I'm always down to play a few matches of supremacy and recommend it to all star wars fans… Expand

So you can nowWhile its legacy and metascore will forever be tarnished due to its rightfully criticized faults at launch, much like the Silent Hill HD Collection on PS3 before it a lot of work went into Battlefront II post-release in order to turn it into something fans can appreciate. In this case, the game has been almost entirely scrubbed free of microtransactions and P2W mechanics. So you can now experience all of its solid content without having to suffer through EA's greed.

    The game's meat may come from its competitive multiplayer, but the single-player campaign is really underappreciated. Set immediately after the events of RotJ, the plot puts you in the role of an elite Imperial trooper during the Empire's final days. I had no previous interest in this is a period of the timeline, but due to the quality of its writing and acting I quickly became invested in the adventure from a narrative standpoint. Not least of all because approaching the conflict from a viewpoint other than that of the Rebel Alliance allowed for some surprising insights into how the other side saw the war, as well as there being cool revelations into things like how all those destroyed ships we saw on Jakku in The Force Awakens got there.

    Of course I was also onboard with the gameplay side of it as well. It's a mix of boots on the ground action and aerial dogfighting strung together by memorable setpieces and the occasional chance to play as fan favorite characters like Han Solo or Princess Leia. Essentially, it's the Star Wars themed Call of Duty I never knew I wanted. The brevity and relative simplicity of it's mission design keep it from being terribly replayable however. So in order to get your money's worth you're going to need an internet connection.

    The online portion of Battlefront II offers a lot of variety in terms on modes, maps, and playable characters. There's easily enough here to keep you coming back for hundreds of hours. Provided you get past the initial impressions that is. The multiplayer can be tough to get into at first due to how awful the starting weapons are, as well as the upgradable "star cards" that increase your chosen classes' overall effectiveness being locked behind some level requirements that are pretty hefty given what a disadvantage you're at against more experienced players without them. It also has the least reliable aiming I've seen in a shooter's competitive half since Duke Nukem Forever. All of this is somewhat offset by the game's arcade and cooperative options which allow you to find your footing without having to face other people, but honestly has playing matches against AI bots ever been fun?

    What makes Battlefront II worth sticking with until you unlock better blasters and find the combination of star cards that works best for you in spite of all this is simply the fact that it's bloody Star Wars. Developer DICE pulled material from across every era of the franchise. Which means you can participate in the biggest battles from each trilogy while being immersed in sound design that's authentic to the films and the stunning visuals of the Frostbite engine.

    Most matches start off with you selecting one of four basic troop types. The points you earn by completing objectives and getting kills can be spent on stronger units and vehicles that feel exactly like you would expect based on what you've seen in theaters. This extends to the playable heroes as well. Familiar faces like Yoda, Rey, and more can be selected and act as powerhouses that can change the entire course of a game depending on your skill level. As frustrating as it can be to get repeatedly killed by some lightsaber user, it never feels unfair as a lot of time must be invested in order to master each character's abilities. You can't say they didn't earn the victory as someone else could choose the same jedi and get mowed down instantly. Plus, it makes sense that Darth Vader would leave legions dead at his feet.

    The only time all this fidelity is a problem is when it comes to the map design. Each locale is gorgeous and a blast to run around in because of all the little touches that sell the feeling of actually being in the Star Wars universe, but the layouts are faithful to a fault. Their arrangements may make sense for a film, but feel haphazard in a video game. Some locations suffer from choke points and zones that are too exposed to effectively defend or are too closed off to launch a proper attack on. All things that hurt the objective based modes, particularly when they give one team an unfair leg up over the other.

    There's plenty one could take issue with in Battlefront II, but it's worst problems (the money-grubbing) are now behind it. DICE succeeded at what they set out to do. Namely, delivering the bombastic thrill of the movies while letting you take part in signature events as a key player in them. As a Star Wars fan, I couldn't ask for much more even if there is still room for improvement.

    A rocky start to the game, as I was hoping to play on the Empire side a lot longer than I played during the Rebels side.

    SWBF2 is a mix of good and less good things. I bought it way after the microtransactions scandal, so I’ll pass that part (but keeping in mind it still happened).

    There is a lot of content when it comes to gameplay: many characters and some vehicles, each of them having their own abilities, which brings a lot of variation possibilities. The number of maps is more than decent as well, and    SWBF2 is a mix of good and less good things.

    There is a lot of content when it comes to gameplay: many characters and some vehicles, each of them having their own abilities, which brings a lot of variation possibilities. The number of maps is more than decent as well, and so is the number of game modes. I personally have a preference for coop, despite the many disconnects. The problem with competitive MP is that it all comes down to your character’s level. Someone having maxed his character’s abilities out is necessarily going to crush anyone else who doesn’t. On one side of things that creates something to grind for, which is perfectly acceptable in coop, but it ruins the competitive modes of the game. Confrontations with maxed out players are so unbalanced when you are a beginner. And I don’t see that bringing any good. This is even more dramatic in the spaceship mode, where the higher level you are, the more health your ship has…

    To come back on positive aspects, I could also state the fact I never encountered any network problem playing online with friends. Or I could also note the nice artistic direction for the campaign (which is unfortunately short and quite uninteresting story-wise and gameplay-wise).

    Sadly, that’s all I can think of for the good things of the game. It’s quite honestly a very normal game having nothing more to show than what the competition already has. It is below the quality of a good Battlefield game Multiplayer speaking for example. In this game’s MP, I hate to see the heroes constantly spammed (I don’t wish to wait in the lobby until one of them is available on the team). I also hate to see how OP they are. Heroes are almost impossible to kill if you engage them with a normal soldier (which represents 80% of your time in MP) and that is super frustrating.

    Lastly, I want to come back on the campaign. As I said it has a good artistic direction, but it also has a very bad AI, and the scenario is way too cliché. At no moment at all were I thrilled by the idea of progressing in the campaign to know more about the story. It is just not interesting. Moreover, the gameplay in the campaign is very dull and doesn’t bring anything more than what the MP modes already offer. The campaign is thus virtually useless in my opinion because the story isn’t even good.

    In conclusion, SWBF2 is a just a decent FPS. It may be more than that for die-hard Star Wars fans, as it is full of characters. That said, combat can be fade in this game, and it has all the problems I stated above. That’s why I believe that the only people who will love this game are part of a small niche. But for players like me, it just isn’t good enough for me to ever go back on it now that I finished it.    … Expand

    The game started out rough, especially with the microtransaction fiasco. However, it has gotten better with age.

    El juego es decente en tanto estamos en tierra. La ventaja de tener varios personajes jugables le da una gran variedad al gameplay. Cada uno tiene su propio estilo y habilidades. Es un shooter, sí. Pero uno decente.

    Mis problemas al respecto son dos: que es repetitivo y al poco tiempo llega a aburrir, y las batallas galácticas.

    Simplemente no están bien logradas. Me han parecido poco pulidas, molestas, con una jugabilidad desaprovechada. Y, simplemente, quitan tiempo y espacio que pudo dedicarse a más misiones "regulares".

    GRÁFICOS:
    In-game el juego es bueno: buenos paisajes, animaciones decentes, buen manejo de luz. Es bueno.
    Pero las cinemáticas con estupendas. Muy muy superiores, Battlefront es una delicia narrativa, todas y cada una de las cinemáticas (acompañadas de la música, claro) son digas de ser llamadas Star Wars.

The cards that upgrade your characters can give veteran players an unfair advantage and unlocking new weapons takes an insane amount of time. What results in this is frustrating multiplayer matches where you feel like you aren't contributing to the team and are simply grinding for more XP.

    The Starfighter Assault mode is the best mode in the game and does not suffer the same issues as the standard multiplayer matches.

    Original Review: I will never buy a digital game months in advance again. Battlefront 2 was my most anticipated game for this year and after dumping 30 hours into it since Tuesday I can confidently say I want my $60 back. It's sad that a game released in 2017 has less appeal and content then the game it was based on that released in 2005. I can tell that a lot of love went into the game but unfortunately shoddy business tactics ruin the entire experience. I'm done with these "freemium" $60 games developers keep shoving down our throats, I make my stand here and I will no longer tolerate this deplorable market of filth. EA and DICE, don't try to tell us microtransactions are optional and then lock the game behind hundreds if not thousands of hours of gameplay if a person doesn't want to pay. Games ARE optional, nobody has to play your game. There are tons of great games on the market RIGHT NOW that are cheaper and don't nickle and dime us with petty paywall nonsense. Hopefully this game crashes and burns, I'd be surprised if it holds its $60 pricemark for 2 months.

    You STILL cannot select the map, era, or even side, you want to play. Which is especially a problem with one of the two main game modes. And in general just a giant nuisance. Wanna play a quick round of Galactic Assault? Well here's the map you hate three times in a row. Plus, it can take a while for a newcomer to see all maps(not that it matters since you cannot pick anyway...)

    One of the two "main" modes, Capital Supremacy, only has 5 maps so far and is locked to prequel era only(with sequel era and 3 maps coming January, but no word on original era.) Also due to it's design, rounds can take forever to finish, up to a point where some dont want to play anymore.

    The other, Galactic Assault(13 maps, all eras) is solely objective based, and since you have no say in what is gonna be played, you might end up playing maps or missions you hate and don't want to play(and being forced to play it for the 234th time doesn't make it better Dice...) Doesn't help that some maps are just not balanced and one team will generally steamroll another in certain scenarios every time.

    They may have removed MTX, but there's still an unnecessary and lengthy grind to unlock equipment.

    Still quite buggy and glitchy. People say the bugs "are being fixed." But bugs are always being fixed - up to the point where they arent anymore. I wish the community would talk about what has been fixed, rather than pretending that everything *will* be at one point.

    And if you think, hey at this price it might be good for offline against bots at least. No it won't because most content is locked behind multiplayer only. You have no access to Galactic Assault for example. Starfighter Assault doesn't have objectives, and CS only the first phase of maps. Not even co-op is included, despite it being against AI anyway. But you get an arcade mode in which you simply kill enemies spawning in all corners...

    The "main" modes, actually feel more like Star Wars theme park rides than a game, in how the game decides what I'm going to do, instead of actually having a choice.
    It's honestly no surprise that Heroes vs Villains and Starfighter Assault are the modes that the community likes the most. These are more side modes, but are the ones that are actually what they're supposed to be and solid(except for balancing issues.)

    I think another problem is though, that it just doesn't stand out much in today's hero and team shooters. It feels like an ok multiplayer shooter with obligatory XP and unlocks, skins, etc. that'll be forgotten once the next one is coming around the corner, because that one's gonna have exactly the same things. If you haven't played this game, but played others of it's kind then you have played this already.

    I'm not saying the game isn't in a better state than it was at launch. But I feel that the notion "it is great" is vastly overselling things.

    And I cannot overstate how much of a **** decision it was to not have us pick maps. I haven't seen Mos Eisley in a whole week, despite it being my favorite map... Thanks DICE!    … Expand

    all that been said, i can say i had a lot of fun playing this. my favourit part, campaing, was pretty satisfactory. Ok, the AI is terrible from both sides, friend and foe. And the story makes no sense at all from any perspective. not to mention the fact that ths campaign will take you like 4 hours to finish, and the ressurection dlc may take like 30min. it's stupid, but ok, i guess i've been far from star wars for so long that that i just really miss it, to be involved in some way with a Sw related thing. and the storytelling design was really exciting. before playing it i actually thought it would be another i-dont-care game, about a who-is-this-person soldier, doing some who-gives-a-damn missions, but it was really involving. sometimes yu play as Iden on foot, other times on space ships, than you play with some classic heroes, etc, perfectly mixed, nothing seems too much nor too little. i was really happy with that, even with this 3 skills thing wich is so lame and boring. specially for lightsaber heroes.
    what makes me think once more, why the f*ck EA games, an almost quadruple A studio, joined with freaking DISNEY for duck's sake, having unlimited money, how can they not ever, do a really incredible star wars game??? like let me freaking use a well designed lightsaber wielder against a real army, or use a real triple A vehicule in the middle of war. damn, there are much smaller companies, with much less hyped plots, allowing players to feel the real UNLIMITED POwA in other franchises. that kind of stuff really makes me angry.
    but okay, the game is no Gem, but i never expected it to be tbh, but its fun. real fun. and its beautiful. damn, these graphics are cool AF, the level design is so immersive, i really felt like i was part of the star wars lore just looking around. specially the spaceships maps, goddamn they are cool. millions of thins happenning at the same time, and explosions, and big ass ships, and little ships and lasers.
    but really, graphics aside, it just does not feel like nextgen to me. everything here except the story mode we on battlefront II on PS2. even less so, actually. people were more creative back then? i guess less lazy is more accurate, right? on pS2 12 years earlier TwELVE YEARS, we got to play creative stuff like ewoks vs stormtroopers, or republic vs geonosians. that **** was fun., talking about the 2005 battlefront 2, the 12 years old game, it actually had so much more content and with the huge plus of having zero microtransaction, or full price half lenght DLC.
    whatever, they managed to put an ok game together here, but it just really dont deserve more than a 5 for me

I cannot give the game low score because the game plays well now. Progression is not that bad at all. I already unlocked some heroes and the progression does not feel that bad. It feels like EA is trying hard to undo the bad publicity surrounding the game. if you like Star Wars i would suggest buying the game. Let;s hope EA has learned from BF2 and it will not try to bring gambling to games again.

Obviously, the thing that sells this game, are those beautiful graphics! After the mediocre campaign, I jumped right into the multiplayer, hoping that its better. No. It wasn't. The multiplayer was so unfair do to the pay to win system, which EA has created. For months it was a big giant mess. But after around 2018 EA has finally made some changes. They got rid of the loot crates. Well, most of it. You can now only buy them from in-game credits. They also changed the messy star card system. They added 3 new heroes, 1 new map and the time when I am writing this review, Anakin is nearly out with a new game mode. After this, I can only say one thing. Is this what took so long?

Gun-play feels great but I feel like the game is lacking customization and many maps feel very one-sided and certain heroes overpowered.

    Esta review la estoy haciendo algo mas de un año después de la salida de este titulo por que me parecía que el juego cuando salio aparte de toda la polémica con las loot boxes, el juego no estaba terminado y tenia un futuro muy incierto, no sabíamos si cumplirían con lo del contenido gratuito y mas términos que se les prometieron a los seguidores de esta franquicia.

    En cuanto a la campaña ya sabemos todos lo que ocurrió, es una campaña mas, genérica hasta decir vasta sin ninguna profundidad y una duración que a día de hoy lo único que podemos hacer es reírnos y no llorar.

    El multijugador si es verdad que desde el comienzo de este siempre a sido el apartado mas importante, no ha recibido el contenido suficiente durante este año, debido a que los 3 primeros meses se estuvieron haciendo innumerables de ajustes en lo que es la profundidad del gameplay.

    En lo que respecta a la jugabilidad y a su sistema, se volvió al sistema de clases para las unidades, que en mi opinión es uno de los grandes fallos que tenia el anterior titulo por que este sistema hace que los compañeros se apoyen mas entre ellos y exista una necesidad de cooperación, que si bien casi siempre es nula, se vuelca mas al jugador a completar los diferentes objetivos que hay por partida, y saber que clase es mejor para cada situación o como poder ayudar mas a tu equipo.

    El modo de un solo jugador, en este caso llamado árcade si bien esta recibiendo el contenido que va apareciendo, necesita muchos mas modos de juego como el tan aclamado Conquista Galáctica, y un modo de Héroes contra Villanos contra la IA.

    En cuanto al contenido lanzado este año tenemos la 2º Temporada inspirada en Han Solo y la 3º Temporada que hace nada la hemos tenido con 2 nuevos personajes, Obi-Wan Kenobi y el General Grievous, el mapa de Geonosis, tambien hemos recibido skins de las guerras clon, y mas cambios y ajustes para el online.

    De cara al futuro solo sabemos por ahora lo que tendremos a principios de 2019, que seran dos personajes nuevos, Anakin Skywalker y el Conde Dooku, y por fin el modo conquista con varios añadidos nuevos para que sea aun mas profundo el gameplay.

    No sabemos aun que nos deparara el futuro de este titulo, si recibiremos todo aquello que ansiamos, pero a día de hoy si bien faltan modos de juego y mapas muy importantes de la saga, es un juego que se puede disfrutar, eso si sabiendo que en un futuro nos aguarda mas contenido por llegar, y que este no se quedara en el estado actual.

    En conclusión, un videojuego que ha cambiado radicalmente y para bien, y que al precio que esta a día de hoy, si recomiendo su adquisición para los que no lo hicieron en su día y le tiene cierto aprecio a esta saga.    … Expand

    (5) Han Solo looks and sounds kind of weird.
    (6) Non-friendly and friendly AI is dumb. I would literally use a machine gun on one of those big machine walkers and the storm troopers weren't alarmed at all as they just continued patrolling their areas. I was like WTF! Also there was a mission where my friendly ally would literally run right past the storm troopers and the troopers weren't alarmed at all. Another WTF moment.
    (7) the save system sucks
    (8) the ending was lame

The fact that you get more credits when a match is longer in time is ridiculous since a player with 17 kills can and may have the same credits as a person with only deaths in the leaderboard. Heroes and classes were also unbalanced, and some maps and vehicles may be glitchy at times. Over the months though, EA fixed the loot box system, made each hero free and tried their best to balance every hero and class equally, added more maps and heroes via seasons, added regular and hero skins, and many more. Season 3, or the Clone Wars season is also coming up very soon, and that is something players can be excited about. Despite all the changes and improvements EA added into this game, players just can't simply forget their undeniable mistakes from the past, and even up to date.

To see this game have a user score of 1 is just ridiculous and is unfair on the game and everyone involved in its creation. Graphically it is very nice, it feels like Star Wars and sounds like it.

    Let’s start with the campaign, this will be short just like the length of the campaign itself. It’s fine, nothing more nothing less. It takes around 4 hours. It’s predictable and simple, verging on boring at times, it doesn’t really fill in anything in terms of the story between the films. It’s fine.

    I have played the online when it first came out and after the most recent updates and honestly don’t think the difference is that major. Yes if people have either played it more or previously purchased the loot boxes you are at a disadvantage. However if you persevere you will hold your own, it’s not difficult just slightly frustrating at times but you will have matches where you do exceptionally well and place in the top 5 (even without decent upgraded star cards). The modes are fun, particularly the flying stands out to me and makes me want another Rogue Squadron game. Heroes are overpowered but you would kind of hope so.

    The battle scenarios are quite honestly pointless. They are what you would expect about 15 years ago when playing against the AI before online games were a thing. It is really just a tutorial for playing as the heroes masquerading as a mode.

    Overall this is a good game that does not deserve the hate it is getting. It has been in the headlines for its micro transactions and they have since adjusted this. The game does not have a season pass and they update it with new content. People need to stop hating for the sake of hating. I have played many games over my life and could never truly say this game is a 1, look at it critically and honestly not just based on the fact it’s cool to hate on EA and jump on the bandwagon.    … Expand

    If that's all there was to it, this game would be a solid 8/10 in my book, but as I'm sure you've heard, the game follows a pay-to-win microtransaction model. Those who forked over real money got better cards right off the bat - cards that give you a blatant and unfair advantage. EA pulled the plug and you're no longer allowed to buy loot boxes, but in their wake they've left a progression system built around their money-grubbing scheme that's incredibly harsh and unfair to those who haven't paid for microtransactions (which is now everyone).

    I want to love this game, and I still have bouts of fun with it here and there, but I can't recommend you buy it. Once EA "fixes" the progression things might change, but I think the damage is already done. There's always Battlefront 2005...    … Expand

    I wont hate harshly about the online shenanigans as it hopefully will improve over time but also as i bought this game with the hope of a thrilling story and to relive some old memories of the originals through arcade mode, oh how i was disappointed.

    The graphics were lovely and the voice acting felt on par to that of the films, but the rest was somewhat lacking. First there is offline arcade mode, I'm someone who devotes time into single player games and doesn't care much for online. So when i heard that this game had offline game modes i was already dreaming about the large scale maps and different classes, but that was not the case.

    Jumping into arcade mode was less than appealing and game play didn't make up for it, to start there are limited maps and i mean about 5 compared to that of say that of Battlefront 2 (the one from 2005) that had loads of maps to play and all sorts of game modes. so with being generous i gave the Theed palace map ago (bear in mind i had completed the story and the mission on the Theed/Naboo map), but oh was it disappointing, limited and enclosed and nothing to make it feel like a large scale battle, and the other maps followed suit.

    So arcade mode was upsetting, but the story has to be good right, wrong. Lets just say your better off buying a Ps2 and playing the original Battlefront and its sequel rather than dishing out some money form a game that cant even hold a candle to the classics.

    On a final note, its a shame that large money grabbing companies like EA, spend a few months to make a less than half decent game just so they can profit from it, if they spent a couple of years developing this game and support both online and offline players then maybe we would have something that players and fanatics of the franchise can enjoy, but as long as money is the driving force that will only live in memory.    … Expand

In terms of content, there are unfortunately far fewer multiplayer game modes than the first game. The modes the game does have, however, are a lot of fun. Like in the previous game, you have Blast, where two teams simply try to kill each other. There is also Strike, which features objective based battles. My personal favorite is Starfighter Assault which has objective based space battles that are much better than the first game. Finally, there is Heroes Vs Villains, an epic game mode where two small groups of your favorite movie characters fight. The main thing I really don't like about the game modes is that they don't relate to any of the movies. It would be really cool to have a multiplayer space battle where you get to blow up the Death Star like in the first game. Also, you don't get to chose which map you play on, which is a huge disappointment.

    Game Mechanics: The new Battlepoints system is a huge pro to this game. In the first game, you could only play as heroes by finding hero pickups, which were very difficult to get ahold of. Battlefront II fixed this flaw with Battlepoints, points you earn while playing online that you can redeem to play as a hero or to hop in a Starfighter or tank. The only little flaw with this system is that the heroes are too expensive, in my opinion. In terms of controls and combat, it is more or less the same as the first game. The only main difference is in Starfighter Assault where they got rid of the targeting computer for primary weapons, making it more challenging to kill. I love this because you actually have to AIM while firing on other ships: it is more realistic. Like in the last game, you get Star Cards for each character to give them added abilities. The bad thing about this is that you can only get Star Cards from Loot Crates, which are way too expensive. Another flaw with this is that if you get a Star Card for a hero, you needed to have unlocked that hero to equip it. The fact that you have to unlock heroes is bad enough, but at least make them cheap: it costs thousands of credits just to unlock one hero. Not only do you have to unlock heroes, you also have to unlock blasters: you can't just buy them like in the last game. With all these flaws in gameplay, you don't progress very much in the game.

    Arcade: In addition to the campaign, you can also play the arcade by yourself or with a friend. The arcade unfortunately only features 2 single player modes, 2 co-op modes, and not enough maps. Playing by yourself, you can be a hero and go up against how every many enemies you want or you can fight in team battles. In co-op, you can do a team battle or a duel between 2 heroes. The only other thing the arcade has is Battle Scenarios, a list of different battles you can fight in across all eras with lots of characters.

    Single Player Campaign: My favorite part of Battlefront II has to be the addition of a story mode. In the campaign, you usually play as Inferno Squad leader Iden Versio with the exception of a few missions that you play as movie characters. The story basically tells you what happens between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, which I have always wondered about. In terms of difficulty, there are 3 different difficulty settings that you can change at any time to get the optimal gameplay experience.

    Pros:
    - Graphics look almost like real life
    - Excellent single player campaign
    - Gameplay across all eras
    - New Starfighter mechanics
    - The Battlepoints system
    - The new Heroes Vs Villains multiplayer game mode
    - New patches and DLCs
    Cons:
    - Not enough multiplayer game modes
    - Lack of movie-related gameplay
    - Not enough arcade modes
    - Lack of ability to chose which maps you play online
    - Poor progression system
    - Restricted heroes and weapons
    - Occasional glitches

    Verdict: Overall, Battlefront II is an improvement in some ways, but also a regression in other ways. The game is certainly a lot of fun, and I'm sure it will only get better with updates and DLCs. The amount of flaws in the game, however, limit Battlefront II to being a "good" game at best.

    Scores:
    Graphics/Sound - 5/5
    Gameplay - 5/5
    Gameplay Mechanics - 2/5
    Content - 3/5
    Overall - 3.75/5 = 75%    … Expand

    The multiplayer on the other hand is actually quite fun. There are six multiplayer game modes. Galactic Conquest is the biggest and the most fun game mode, with everything the game has to over. That includes hero’s and vehicles. However this game made has some issues with map balance, but over time this seems to be improving. Starfighter Assault is fantastic, the flying mechanics have been changed by quite a lot when compared to the previous installations of this franchise. In Battlefront (2015) I really disliked the flying, but in this game I think it’s really good and really enjoyable. Heroes vs Villains is really fun, getting used to the heroes may take some time, but when you’re used to them this game mode is a blast. The last two are strike and blast, which are quite the standard game modus and they work just fine.

    The progression system in this game isn’t that good, but people are starting to figure out how to work with it. However I do fear that if microtransactions return that the game will be less fun. In general I enjoy playing this game with some friends, however I don’t advise people to pay full price for this game. I’ve bought it with a discount for €30, which is in my opinion a fair price for a new copy of this game.    … Expand

    EA's Star Wars: Battlefront II is a slight improvement over the last game. I did like that EA added a campaign however the campaign is also just really lazy. The graphics and gameplay are once again great but overall, this game isn't much better than the previous

    Okay I've played this game for a few weeks now and it's time to put it back in the box and back on the shelf with a slight shrug of my shoulders.
    Let me start to explain why I'm disappointed with the game. I loved Battlefront 2015 it was perfect for me. It was a game where I could pick up for 10 mins and play (which for someone who works is ideal) I loved the fact that it looked and felt    Okay I've played this game for a few weeks now and it's time to put it back in the box and back on the shelf with a slight shrug of my shoulders.
    Let me start to explain why I'm disappointed with the game. I loved Battlefront 2015 it was perfect for me. It was a game where I could pick up for 10 mins and play (which for someone who works is ideal) I loved the fact that it looked and felt Star Warsie. It gave me so many "Whooa this is cool moments". Yes it was fairly shallow, with not enough maps. But Battlefront 2015 was fun to play. And this what gets to the nub of the Battlefront 2's problems it's just not very fun.
    Before I explain why I'll run through some of the good features of the game. Firstly the shooting mechanics have improved. You have guns where you can snipe and it just feels like to are firing a blaster. Sometimes on Battlefront 2015 it felt like it was random when you got into a fire fight whether you won or not. Now if you play poorly and fail to execute headshots quickly you are more likely to be punished and this is how it should be.
    The second big improvement (and this is a big improvement) is with the spaceships combat. In 2015 it was frankly lousy, but now it's much improved. The ships simply fly better the firing mechanism makes sense and the gravity just is good. The game mode is also good with a wide variety of objectives and the maps as well as being beautiful are really well designed. This is my favourite game mode.
    I like the idea of classes for the different troopers. I think it's imperfectly executed but it's a good idea. This just needs tweaking.
    And overall it looks and sounds great and it's a bigger game. The arcade mode has expanded and works well and it has a campaign. The Campaign is okayish. It's short, the story is meh(although the characters are pretty good) and you do spend 10 minutes swatting bugs (WTF!!!) but it introduces you to the multiplayer which is probably what it should do.
    There has been much made of the progression system and loot crates. I don't want to dawdle too long on this much has been said before but encouraging children to gamble is simply morally absurd and game developers need to stop this now.
    However, I'm not convinced many kids will be begging their parents to buy them crystals (when EA decides it can get away with bringing back micro transactions) as mutiplayer simply is not that much fun.
    So on Battlefront 2015 there were four small scale game; Cargo, Drop Zone, Droid Run and Blast. The first three of these were great fun, but guess which one EA have decided to bring back? yep the dull as dishwater blast., The one where all that matters is who has the most power behind you (Pay to win, anyone?). They've also brought in a second small game mode called strike which is just a small scale version of the main large scale game, Galatic Assault. The main problem with Strike is that it's really badly explained, the objectives aren't explained properly and there is little or no excitement.
    I loved the small games on 2015, such as Drop Zone on Dune Sea. It was craziness with action all the time. The same doesn't happen with Blast or Strike. The maps are too large, you often don't see action for minutes at a time and it doesn't seem to matter whether you win or lose.

    Galatic Assault suffers from the same problem as Strike. It's not clear what the objectives are. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE TO FALL BACK - FALL BACK WHERE TO EA??? JUST TELL ME DON'T JUST TELL ME TO FALLBACK AND THEN SAY RETURN TO OBJECTIVE AND KILL ME - THIS ISN'T IRRITATING AT ALL!!! (Rant over)
    But the major problem with Galatic Assault is the Heroes. Basically they've completely ruined Heroes. it was so exciting to pick up a hero token on Battlefront 2015. Now you have to grind to get some of the Heroes. But that's not the major problem, nor is the fact that Heroes have been nerfed and made less fun, it''s all about how you get to use them.
    You have to collect Battlepoints, which you collect by killing people and doing objectives and if you collect several thousand to become a hero (and you only can use one if they are not already in play). The problem of this is twofold, first average players rarely get a chance to be a hero which makes it less fun. Heroes also tend not to take ages to come into he battlefield so the first half of games are often hero free. I've literally only played as a hero on a handful occasions and several times for seconds before the game ended. Why you can't roll over battlepoints to the next game i don't know. But basically Heroes are pants.
    Additionally they have (mainly) taken out jumpacks - why? they were so much fun and meant you could travel to action zones much quicker.
    There is only one large scale game and it isn't as good as the three previous games on 2015. Galatic assault doesn't encourage groups of players piling in on objective in the way supremacy does. It's just Meh! all the way through, like the game generally.    … Expand

    Really enjoyed the campaign mode, need more games like this with game play and mechanics focused on SP mode. As for multiplayer, after a week I got quickly bored, the unlocking content is confusing , overcomplicated and there is zero effort to promote teamwork, everyone runs like headless chickens.

    A tragedy. Star Wars: Battlefront II proved to be a fun, even innovative experience, yet the game is greatly bogged down by a disastrous progression system. Bad progression systems are somewhat common, but rarely are they this repetitive and just... flat out bad. Hopefully a massive patch is unveiled in later months that correct this issue.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok I hate EA Games all the rest and same thing with the microtransactions so I'd like to review this as what it is now when there is no microtransactions (for now).

    Singleplayer content is nice, but the story is same old bad guy turning good bullsh*t like everyother story. It had so much potential, but obviously they didn't want to do anything really creative with it.
    Inferno Squad looks stunning, but only few missions until Iden turn her coat. Why the hell did they even market this as a story from the view of an loyal imperial when it's far from it??

    Multiplayer has it's ups and down. Maps looks awesome. Details are great, but they are very unbalanced. I have never won't the Kamino starfighter map while playing as CIS (attacker). Never and I have played this game a lot since launch.
    Since the Last Jedi season started I've got to play only two maps. Jakku and Crait on the galactic assault. Not sure if intended or just a bug.
    Progression is wrong in so many levels. It is based on the lootcrates and only thing that actually progresses you favorite class by playing it is your weapon. Weapons need certain amount of kills to be unlocked and everything else progresses by buying starcards and every starcard bought gives you one level which takes whole idea of "class levels".

    If you are a serious Star Wars fan who wan't to play a Star Wars game then go ahead, but if you don't have a huge passion to Star Wars, you should just buy any other shooter game.    … Expand

    Excellent online action offers hours of Stormtooper-shooting fun, but the so-so campaign stumbles, while cynical loot crates leave a sour taste. [Jan 2017, p.83]

    Star Wars Battlefront II provides a greater ambition than the previous installment. It has powerful war scenes, a brand new single player mode, and shows a much more magnificent Star Wars Universe. But just like the Jedi should be ware of the dark side of the Force, this game also meets some similar situations, such as beleaguered microtransaction elements and character growth problems. The first 10 hours of this game is full of surprises; however, the further you play this game, the more disappointed you will get.
