    Also players were able to get crystals on the first day. and by that some players got a significant day one boost.
    Furthermore to bind the progression of the game to a random lootbox system is demoralizing at best, especially when you find out how long it will take you to unlock even the most basic things. I end by saying awesome job DICE ... And EA stop ruining good games with your corporate greed!    … Expand

Sadly what has happened is the role reversal of the the quality of the product. We are treated to a visual extravaganza which is stunning in 4k but there is a distinct lack in the game play. While the overall feel isn't bad it is ultimately let down by a poor single player story mode and the one thing that has one of the greatest appeals for this genre of game! The Star Wars characters. The grind is ridiculous and unless you are willing to part with lots more cash it'll take a punishing amount of time to unlock said characters.
    EA are shameless in they're feel the need to squeeze every drop of money out of their ever dwindling fan base. I for one have completely lost any appetite for their releases and returned my copy, getting a refund. its sad, what could of been one of their very few crowning glories falls flat by needless profiteering. I hope you are all happy with alienating gamer's with what could of been a world class game.
    On another note. Congratulations on Breaking a record. The lowest review score ever. You must be so proud.    … Expand

Battlefront II is the perfect example of this, and what seems to be the biggest backlash this company has ever gotten and for a good reason. For a $60 game (the base game of course), you aren't just paying for the game, but to either be beaten by people that spend money on loot crates/in-game currency, or to grind for hours upon hours to earn ONE of their characters. That is unacceptable and thankfully the community is seeing this and responding to horrid business practices. Absolutely **** EA… Expand

    The core mechanics of the game are decent at best and do not justify any of the garbage that EA has implemented in the game. Besides that the servers are trash so even if you were willing to look past Battle Fronts errors you wouldn't be able to fully enjoy the multiplayer experience as it would most likely be too laggy.

    A FULL PRICED game with a f2p gambling upgrade system slapped into it, literally gaming cancer that should be avoided at all costs.

    The corrupt "critic" reviewers should hang their heads in shame over giving this pos anything higher than a 3, they are letting the public down by not acknowledging what BS this is.

    Microtransactions that's all I have to say.
    The game is average at best, some bugs, not too much of an evolution from the previous one, and most of the weapons are unbalanced. Like this was not enough they've put a ton of microtransactions, well I am done with those and will not buy any more games until they stop with that.

But, I hope i can save you 60 dollars or what ever bundle you are looking to buy.

    Graphics:
    As always DICE makes a phenomenal work with textures, lighting, skyboxes, etc. Frostbite engine as always one of the best game engines out there. (A part from Decima, Unreal and Unity engine)
    Though sometimes the ragdoll effect when you kill enemies can be wonky at times, but it's not as big of an issue. Now to frame rate can be an ugly issue when you are in more busy areas, looking at you consoles.

    Sound:
    They seem to deliver almost movie quality sounds with lasers ricochet in metals, wookie screams, spaceship sound effects, lightsabers, channel separations, etc. Everything is spot on amazing to be honest.

    Music:
    It is a fantastic Star Wars score while they deliver different themes to certain characters. I would've been so mad if they got this part wrong but they didn't thankfully.

    Voice:
    I'm not going to lie I was a little disappointed here, more in the writing than the delivery by the voice actors. At some point the internal conflict Iden Versio was experiencing should've been a bit more emotional and you will see that on later missions. Again it wasn't the voice actor, it was the writing which seemed a bit odd by the experiences the characters were experiencing at some times, which made them feel a bit off and anti-climatic. Also will leave you wondering why the emperor sounded like a post throat cancer operation warning video. A part from that the only issue was the writing.

    Gameplay:
    As everybody would know by now the game takes place between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. Just to fill in the gaps of what happened during that time. I will not put spoilers, a part from that you will see the perspective of other heroes of the franchise. The story is around 5 hours if you play on the highest difficulty. The AI feels idiotic at lower difficulty levels, though at higher difficulty sometimes the issue is there at times you will encounter that the enemies will be behind cover and they will just come running straight through the middle and into your bullets leaving you wondering at why the enemy did that.
    Also this game loves the term "You are leaving the mission area".

    Here comes the juicy part Multiplayer:
    You got your different game modes including Arcade, Galactic Assault, Heroes vs. Villains, Starfighter Assault, Blast and Strike with 10+ maps to jump into. Connection hasn't been that bad even with the 40 player game mode.
    You get 4 different classes that you can choose from Officer, Specialist, Assault and Heavy class.

    Now the bad part about this game microtransactions, which are destroying the game right now. EA has programmed themselves into a blackhole of stupid. This game has no feeling of progression at all and the star cards are either boosts or abilities that you can equip that are connected to opening loot crates. This leads into a player that has spent ridiculous amounts of money into getting the top tier cards, which will make him into an unkillable god that roasts everybody in the lobby rendering team play at times stupid. The game is a true definition of pay-to-win there is no doubt about it.

    So at the end the fun factor at times it's there, but they are just trying to wrap you more into the graphics. Which will cause you to feel like "Oh man, the graphics are so cool I'm just going to play one more match, just want to experience one more thing or I just want to spend one more dollar to fully upgrade that star card."

    Which leaves me in a dilemma that it really sucks that it has come down to this. That this game is 60 dollars but it feels like every mobile title out there.    … Expand

    the campaign isn't the best and lacks development, though i have heard they will add more to it later with DLC. But knowing EA people will likely have to cough up another 70 dollars for that let alone pay to win.

    This game isn't battlefront 2. Battlefront 2 came out over ten years ago. this game should be better known as star wars: **** you front 2

    To keep it short, I refuse to buy this game. The game gets a 0 because of EA deliberately trying to enforce a super heavy pay to win system in an $80 game. I have no respect for this practice, and I'm not playing the game if I'm going to be treated as a 24/7 customer instead of a player.

    You keep buying into this practice, and EA will soon charge you for individual save files.

    How to **** up one of the most loved franchises of all Time? Put an EA stamp on it. Last game i liked made by EA was Need for Speed: Underground 2. Best Game that could ever be made for a Star Wars Game, would Be Knights of The Old Republic 3, made by CD Projekt Red

    Thank feminists and developers who made this game for feminists. The worst game I've played in recent years. Much worse than Battlefront 1 (2015). Made worse all the details that there in the first part. Idiotic interface covering the whole screen. Idiotic gameplay. And microtransactions of course. Finally it's not game. It's bad mod for Battlefield 1. Very bad mod.

Even without those, which are currently balanced out of the game shortly following its release, Battlefront 2 just is not fun to play.

    The single factor that mars the experience so much in this game is the progression, or lack thereof. It's simply perplexing that DICE, a company that has developed games with near-perfect progression systems (followed by monetized progression systems that STILL felt rewarding) could botch it up this bad. You are not rewarded for your style of play but rather for your time spent playing. As a result you never feel in control of what you can unlock and the timing of rewards feel anticlimactic and boring.

    This is a problem shared by DICE's previous game, Battlefield 1. Which brings us to Battlefront 2's second-biggest flaw: the meaninglessness of classes and team co-operation. Whereas BF1 failed in progression but mostly maintained the fun of choosing a loadout to maximize your potential and in turn your team's chances of winning, BF2 feels empty and pointless. No one seems to want to work with even one person on their team, and who can blame them when there is no incentive to do so? The way points are awarded at the end of the match seemed cruelly geared to discourage any heroics or even effort.

    These two factors combine to rob Battlefront 2 of any merit. In the short term the gameplay is meaningless even if pretty to look at. In the long term everything feels like a grind and rewards seem to come too late or unexpectedly early.

    Oh, and the campaign is really short and really dumb.

    Stay away from this stink pile unless you find it for like $5, it will bore you after 3 hours.    … Expand

    Star Wars Battlefront 2 has clear remnants of actual effort. The game features gorgeous vistas, great sound design and fun gun-play that is to be expected from a game of this era.

    However, monetisation of essential game mechanics such as heroes, guns and other upgrades leave the game unbalanced, unplayable and a mess.

    It is sad to see not just EA, but a part of the industry using this "pay to win"system.

    EA came a company that went from $8 to $800 million in profits just by inserting the famous "loot boxes" on almost every game they make. Nowadays probably every game they make has it.

    I also think that this is a responsibility on Sony and game companies that attracted million of people offering games, not gambling experiences.

    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.
