    Игра шикарная
    Игре по портили оценку из-за лутбоксов. К счастью разработчики и справились выпилили их из игры. Всем советую

    This game is absolute violation of basic gaming values. Casino technics and microtransaction hell. Don't buy.

    I know this game came out nearly three years ago, but this game has been approved upon. The graphics are solid, the gameplay makes you grind yes but it's worth it. Has pretty much every Star Wars character you think of, it WAS at least on sale for only 10 dollars on PSN recently and has a decent campaign mode.

    Ich kann nur etwas zum Story-Mode sagen. Die Idee ist extrem gut und die Cutscenes sind liebevoll gestaltet. Leider sind die Mission repetitiv. Dennoch gelungene Geschichte.

    Had one of the worst launches in history, plagued with loot boxes and not nearly enough content, but then Dice managed to redeem it by remaking the whole progression system, getting rid of loot boxes, and adding a ton of free content. The graphics were always really nice and the maps look amazing but the campaign isn't really good. If you're a Star Wars fan I would recommend it.

    Ignoring the old microtransation system I think this game is the ultimate Star Wars multiplayer videogame, the experience in every multiplayer battle is epic with awesome special effects and good graphipcs. Sadly the game lost popularity and is almost dead :(

    Now in 2020 the game is really great there are no lootboxes anymore (only for cosmetics) and the game is very balanced and you have a lot of fun as a star wars fan. The bonus is the great story

    Das ist ein gutes Spiel. Die Lootboxen sind quasi am Launch weggefallen, es gibt viele verschiedene Modie ,eine gutinzienierte Kampangnie ( die leider sehr anspruchslochs ist ) hat gutes Singleplayer content, spassiges Gunplay und sehr Durch den Koopmodus Einsteigerfreundlich.

    So much fun. I'd recommend fans to try this game out again and it's so much better. All the microtransactions are gone completely and the modes are so much fun. The single player campaign isn't that great though. Iden's turn to the Rebellion was disappointing at best and rushed at worst. Aside from that though, this game is great and so much fun.

    For a ps4 game the graphics are breathtaking. The campaign was enjoyable and the multiplayer is fun with lots of modes to choose from. My issue with multiplayer though is that matchmaking is uneven. I consistently match against players around level 400-980 even though I'm under 10 with the characters. Playing people with maxed out character abilities makes it a lot harder to win the fights.

    I came into this game in early 2023 so my experience included no microtransactions, no lootboxes, or really any kind of dirty tricks (at least from what I've experienced). I realize I came into the game experience after EA and DICE had corrected mistakes and made the experience much more enjoyable for the player.

I realize I came into the game experience after EA and DICE had corrected mistakes and made the experience much more enjoyable for the player.

    Since I wasn't jaded by from launch, I came into this game really with a neutral perspective; a star wars fan that loved the original Battlefront II and wanted to experience something like it but technically superior. Fortunately, I got just that: a technically superior Battlefront 2 with more features and things to do.

    That's not to say I don't have a few complaints (which I'll get into in a bit) but from my experience with the game, the good far outweighed the bad and I've loved playing this game in several different modes. It did take some time to adjust to slightly different controls and character-specific abilities but once I did through the main story and battle scenarios, I felt prepared enough to enjoy the general game modes.

    The story/main campaign I felt was pretty solid. I see where some criticisms come from of the story being thinly-written and skeletal in its approach. I think the criticisms of the story being terrible are not fair however. I grew to like all the characters and felt the ending was quite epic in every way. I just think Iden's character arc could've been a bit more fleshed out in the middle for her story to have a better impact. The structure for a great story was absolutely there but it ended up being just good. Better development could've made it truly great.

    My main complaints on the game had to do with a couple of performance issues that I experienced in the main story. On the Luke Skywalker mission I spawned in and fell right through the map. Didn't even do anything just fell right through into oblivion until I restarted the mission. On the royalty mission, when I eliminated the storm troppers they all started just floating around like they were in space and when you're eliminating that many troopers, it just looks hilarious seeing a hundred dead troopers just floating like balloons on Naboo. Fortunately, I never experienced anything like this again and still haven't. I've seen some frame-rate dips here and there but generally the performance is great despite those 2 awful experiences.

    Besides the couple of technical issues and the story not being as fleshed out as I wanted, I've had a lot of fun with the game and it's been exactly what I wanted. If some of these user reviewers were intellectually honest and wanted to review bomb a game to get EA to change, they would acknowledge the course correction and change their review to actually reflect the game's current quality instead of just blindly wage a hate war on EA. The game is great and deserves a lot more love now and props to DICE and EA for fixing the old mistakes and making a better game.    … Expand

    EA is ruining all of my favorite franchises. This example of detestable business practices is a preview of what Anthem will be, what the next Dragon Age will be, and what the next Titanfall will be.

    I feel like buying some EA stock just so I can go to their shareholder meetings and tell them what a bunch of slimy f*cks their executives are.

    The game has the worst progression system i have ever seen in any videogame. Just imagine if in, say, World of Warcraft, you couldn't just pick the talents or skills you wanted and had to buy them in in-game shop.

Oh, and you couldn't level your character by slaying monsters or PvP'ing.The game has the worst progression system i have ever seen in any videogame.

    This game is basically a pay2win gambling machine wrapped in a star wars skin. Corporate greed ruining what could be a perfectly good game. Sigh.

Don't buy this game, it's not worth the money they ask for it. The very idea of having loot boxes forces me to recommend this game at only one price point: free. At this point, I'll pick the game when it's free or I'll buy it after ALL the microtransactions will be removed. You should do that as well.

    EA is not to be trusted anymore. DICE is not to be trusted anymore (just go watch Angry Joe's interview with the developer, they're not innocent in this). This game isn't a game, it's a money printing scheme, so don't give them your money.    … Expand

    Any site giving this game a positive score without deducting serious points for the pay-to-win mechanics (including a "Kill Cam" that shows off the stuff the guy who killed you has to instill envy) deserves to be boycotted for the spineless, craven, corporate-sellout scum they are.

    Please do NOT buy this game. Before 2017, only a handful of games that weren't free-to-play came out with gambling boxes and those were mostly cosmetic (with a few shameful exceptions like Dead Space 3). Now almost every game from a "AAA" publisher has them and they are getting more and more predatory. This game has the worst possible implementation we've seen to date. If this game does well, it's a signal that it's "open season" on gamers. It needs to fail and gambling boxes in "AAA" titles need to die a horrible death.    … 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.
