    LOOTBOX oh no!... I pay 60$ and I want to get a full game and not a part. This is if you miss that the game is divided into several add-ons and will sell them separately. Do not mock the players.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Это просто позорище, бросающее тень на всю индустрию. Отличный пример того, как хорошая игра была просто уничтожена жадностью. НЕ ПОКУПАЙТЕ ЭТУ ИГРУ, пока разработчики и издатели не примут меры. Пусть нас услышат! Expand

    Game is mediocre at best and wouldn't recommend to anyone? Grinded for that awesome star card? too bad, somebody paid for a better star card than yours. If this was F2P it would've been ok, but sadly it isn't. I had pre-ordered it, but got my refund and will use my money on something else. This game is a joke and EA is out of touch with the fans of the game.

    I will not buy your games anymore from the principle. The most greedy and disrespectful of its customers is a company that has completely ruined a potentially good game and openly declares that it will spoil all its games. You will not get any more money from me.

    Game would be OK. Nothing special, bit boring with beautiful graphic. But unfortunately its free to play game that you need to pay 70 euro. DO NOT BUY.

    I would never pay $60 for a game that uses microtransactions like this. What a disgusting moneygrab.
    The fact that EA removed the refund button for people who preordered this trainwreck of a game and now makes people call in and wait in order to get their money back is ridiculous.

    While the game plays like a charm, I can not longer endorse this game, or even others, that prioritize gambling mechanics and/or putting up big barriers to unlocking content that should be made available when paying full retail price for a AAA game. It's not acceptable and the industry needs to change. It's too bad SWBII had to the be the game that broke everyone, but something had to.

    I don't mind progression in a game that i have paid for! But there is no doubt that this progression isn't for my enjoyment of the game, if at any point i feel like i should or need to pay more to progress then the system i have already paid for has failed! I didn't Pay for a Grind

    I played the test version for a bit and the graphics are great, and the gameplay is fun. However, based on the play to win characteristics, I find it unethical and am therefore giving it a 0.

    Pay to win loot boxes-- enough said. Looks like the greedy corporate overlords at EA have figured out another way to ruin Star Wars all on their own, without the help of George Lucas.

    This is pay-to-win garbage. It's total BS. Don't believe anyone who is telling you otherwise - it's just bought reviews. This game is total crap. Do me a favor and pop down to Youtube and visit "Worth a buy". It's an eye opener.

    A thinly veiled gambling simulator targeted towards young kids with parents credit cards. Borderline illegal and EA has been busy making fake reviews to try to cover this up. Don't buy this game for your kid unless you want to introduce them to gambling

    The original Battlefront II was a fun and chaotic title when I played it all those years ago on the Xbox; I didn't play that much of it, but what I did play was good stuff.

I felt like I was just getting lucky whenever I won a match, because a game being this pay-to-win is just exploitative. It just saps all the fun away when the game urges you to just pay real money for the best gear/content instead of getting more skilled at the game by playing. You didn't earn the victory, so where's the fun? What will we be left with when the servers shut down? A crippled husk of a game which there is no reason to return to. This is a disgusting peek at a future where consumers are treated as cows to be milked for money. Expand

    You're paying a full price of 60$ to basically play a free to play mobile game with loot box system. Multiplayer is basically pay to win and this is not acceptable in a triple a game.

This is just another game where EA plan to make a fast cash grab from the player base and treating us like S***h. As consumers we deserve better then this and unless EA is going to make change to all these issues, this game is bound to fail big time. Can't believe EA manage to F**k up star wars battlefront, I hope they have a sense of pride of accomplishment for f**king up this game. Expand

    Terrible terrible terrible progression mechanism. What a fool I am to not have purchased that game on PC, so I could get a refund. Now I can only hope that I can resell this piece of greedy crap.

    Индустрия превратилась в жесткую коммерцию с диким выжиманием бабла. Ясное дело, что лицензия на франшизу очень дорогая, но таким способом игру мне не продать. Прощайте!
    Так засрать игру нужно еще уметь, спасибо ЕА!

    Микротранзакции в игре за 60$. Серьезно? Мало того, говорили, что исправят, но нет, у нас есть лишь пустые обещания. И они ведь служат даже не для покупки косметиков и сильно рушат баланс игры. Просто худшее решение от EA.

    Still has less content than the original battlefront 2 that came out in 2005. Campaign is short. Pay to win baby. They said that they wanted to make unlocking a hero an achievement but what they did was make it a grind. World of Warcraft killed Everquest because they took away grinding. Couldn't play heroes vs villains because all of my unlocked heroes were taken.....

    I refuse to pay extra to be able to play at the same level as a player who has maxed out their credit card for advantages. What a greedy company, EA should be ashamed of this.

    Anyone find the discrepancy between the user score and the Critic score strange? Funny how the critic reviews don't contain any serious big reviewers. EA pulling some strings here just to get their numbers up. Until this game fixes its gross use of micro transaction, it is both poison for gamers and the industry as a whole.

    This game looked promising until EA came and gave it the usual treatment. Abhorrent use of microtransactions and treating customers like idiots. Iconic characters are locked behind a paywall and buying lootboxes is "encouraged" (read "required") to stay competitive if you don't have hours a day to spend on this game. GG EA, no re

    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.

    Although game has huge problems with p2w microtransactions, it is still a good and fun gameplay experience with stunning visuals.
