    It's a Pay-To-Win mobile game, for consoles and PC.

    Daily cooldown on rewards for game modes.
    **** formulaic campaign.
    Pay-To-Win multiplayer.

    Do yourself a favor, do literally anything else with your money.

    If you want to eventually get a decent Star Wars game, contact Disney and let them know what you think of EA and what they're doing to the Star Wars brand.

    Fan have been requesting a Galactic Conquest mode which was in the ORIGINAL 2005 Battlefront games. We didn't get in in BFI and we expected them to rectify it with BFII. They completely overlooked the "DATA" they claim they check. As a MASSIVE Star Wars fan I was looking forward to EA redeeming itself with BFII. This has become an easy pass. I'll save my $60 for better games without this diseased cash grab.    … Expand

    disadvantages:

    All progression in this game is intrinsically intertwined with microtransactions and lootboxes - essentially legalized gambling marketed at kids. Currently the system requires over $2000 (or over 4000 hours of time) and you still would not unlock everything in this game. It's a $60 mobile game. Do not buy.

    Disney's biggest mistake was giving their most valuable franchise to a company like EA.

    If they keep releasing games like this, Starwars is gonna lose its popularity amongst teenagers. No one is gonna buy a Starwars game with a half-ass campaign + a messed up multiplayer made by greedy executives.

    Game systems seem to be designed to "nudge" players to spend as much real money as possible. Game stinks of "free-to-play" model with $60 price tag. I won't support a company that uses predatory microtransactions in a game played by 13 year-olds (and let's be real--kids younger than that too). Untie game progression from gambling and then we can talk.

A feature of the Deluxe model over the standard game permitted play prior to official release, and as a result I have spent the last 24-hours playing. However, buyer beware: this is not your atypical high-budget 'AAA' title; this game is better represented by a free-to-play mobile model.

    As a casual gamer, I have always been careful to avoid the free-to-play format which recovers revenue by tempting the player into purchasing in-game items and currencies via 'micro-transactions'. The in-game currency can then be used to buy 'loot-crates' which offer a chance to win more in-game items. The process can be repeated if the in-game item you want is not won immediately. Slot machines work in much the same manner, wherein if you do not win a prize you can place another coin in the slot and try, try again. Much to my dismay, this model has become popular with high-budget games such as Overwatch and the recent Call-of-Duty, wherein cosmetic items (think costumes or 'skins', alternate paint-jobs on weapons, etc.) can be won by this gambling process. However, Battlefront II is distinct in that the items available for gamble are essential to the game-play itself (such as aim-assist, damage multipliers and powerful in-game characters).

    Don't get me wrong though - the classic Star Wars backdrops and characters prominent in this game were visually impressive. Furthermore, the gameplay itself appeared fluid and characters were well-integrated with environs, despite minor character clipping I noticed only toward the end of my last session with the game. However, after every death at the hands of an enemy character, a small window would pop-up on the screen to indicate the in-game items and and associated power-ups used to defeat me. Despite in-game play timers placed on these upgrades before they can be used, many items persistent on my screen were clearly inaccessible at this pre-release stage of the game, except via micro-transactions. This constant visual reminder of in-game gambling largely nullifies any positive review I could provide about the graphical state of Battlefront II.

    Ultimately, as an Australian resident, I was able to return the game under the Australian Consumer Law citing misleading conduct. It was unreasonable to expect that a full-priced game such as Battlefront II employ in-game gambling mechanics to the degree that it governs play. I would not recommend this game and, furthermore, hope that this review stands to support those who have purchased this game and feel similarly mislead.    … Expand

    I wish 0.0 were a viable option, here's why:

    1. I really like star wars
    2. I really don't like paying for a full price game only to be gated by progress through spending $ on loot boxes or playing [correction, grinding] thousands of hours in multiplayer just to unlock stuff in the game.

    Pro's: Beautiful Game, very immersive. Game play is fun

    Con's: Campaign is short, other modes are pay to win - "loot crates" are not cosmetic and translate to actual game power

    Recommendation: Wait until it's in the bargain bin for the campaign, money saved can then be spent on "loot crates" and you might be competitive.

    This feels like a free-to-play experience; when I pay a premium price for a game, I expect a premium experience.

    I have to admit, while trying to progress, the system does feel like a prettier version of a slot machine. As progression is tied to randomised loot boxes, essentially micro-gambling, it feels cheap. And to have this variation of gambling in a Disney game is just simply not cool to put it lightly.

    The game-play is fun when it isn't influenced by additional real life money.

    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.
