    I don't write a lot of reviews, but I was pretty disappointed in this game. I don't hate SWBF2, yet, but it did really put me off. I've seen a couple of bugs so far which isn't rare for launch day, but one of them had me restarting a checkpoint as it wouldn't let me kill a rebel that was rolling around on his back and thus I couldn't continue on to the next part of the mission.

I've seen a couple of bugs so far which isn't rare for launch day, but one of them had me restarting a checkpoint as it wouldn't let me kill a rebel that was rolling around on his back and thus I couldn't continue on to the next part of the mission. No big.

    When I jumped into the multi player I was really underwhelmed. It was a lot like the last game and while the settings/characters are cool, some maps just look way better then others this time around. I'm not saying that it was deal breaking bad graphics, but for some reason there was weird draw in at very short distances for textures and smaller non moving pieces as well as poor lighting while planet side. The Death Star seemed more polished then Kashyyyk, however I was disillusioned that setting don't seem to be utilized beyond the visuals do break up or add anything to game play. And speaking of game play it feels like it has devolved somehow from the last game. The controls and aiming just don't feel as tight. Even more upsetting to me was I was under the impression that the more "Arcade" style of the last game would take a back seat in this time around, but it's amped up with a stronger focus on star cards. They have you plugging away at them from the get go.

    Lastly, the campaign story is just pathetic and I have to applaud whoever it was that made getting into a AT-AT the most boring thing you could do in a Star Wars video game. Bravo. That took some skill. Without giving any spoilers I have to say the character arcs and turns are just abusive to the fans. We are very used to the more intelligent stories we have been getting in the current Star Wars universe and if they are saying that this is canon then I might have to rethink preordering my movie tickets for "The Last Jedi."

    Not the worst game ever so I'll give it a few weeks and see what happens after a few patches.

    Oh and the cover system really needed to be updated from the last game. It was one of the weaker parts of the gameplay, but it is exactly the same which is to say that it basically doesn't exist.

    ONE UPDATE - While playing the campaign I experienced strange flickering during cut scenes. It would just go black for a quarter of a second over and over again during cut scenes creating a strange flashing. Seriously, if you have epilepsy don't play this game until this bug is fixed.

    As much as I hate EA this games shocked me. If the gambling was not removed this would get a 5. The game has improved so much since the beta. It will never be as good as its predecessor but I deem it worthy of the line of my favourite Star Wars game (other than the force unleashed).

It looks great on PS4 Pro, has lots of different game modes in multiplayer and is finally the product we've been hardly tried to see in battlefront 1. With lots of things to do and the motivation to play a certain amount of hours to unlock heroes first - except you are a rich kid with daddy's credit card - EA created a pretty good compromise for hardcore and casual players.

    Thankfully most heroes don't cost 60k credits anymore. So far, I'm a bit impressed what EA did, after people **** a reddit thread and voted down an explanation about 'why people should be proud to earn in a game, they already paid 60$ for'. But that's no reason to give a bad score to a great product. The upcoming DLC is completely free and somehow EA still tries to make money by giving an opportunity to earn heroes faster. To me, I don't really care. I won't spend money on this one and will try to earn my heroes with ingame credits. So should everyone else. The game is great, accept it.

    Antes de entrar a valorar el juego como tal, he de decir que llevo unas 24 horas de juego, he conseguido la mayoría de los héroes (por lo menos la mayoría de los que me interesan y con los que quiero jugar, claro), y tengo las cartas y armas que más me gustan sin haber soltado un centavo de más. Tengo las mismas ventajas y debilidades que mis contrincantes en casi cada partida que juego.Antes de entrar a valorar el juego como tal, he de decir que llevo unas 24 horas de juego, he conseguido la mayoría de los héroes (por lo menos la mayoría de los que me interesan y con los que quiero jugar, claro), y tengo las cartas y armas que más me gustan sin haber soltado un centavo de más. Tengo las mismas ventajas y debilidades que mis contrincantes en casi cada partida que juego. Considero que se ha exagerado con la crítica al sistema de progresión. Es un poco injusto y extraño, con cartas que, directamente, chetan a los personajes, pero como son totalmente aleatorias y el campo de batalla es tan frenético apenas notas diferencia con los que tienen un nivel más avanzado. Y además está confirmado que van a lanzar contenidos gratuitos cada cierto tiempo y van a mantener el juego "vivo" y actualizado.

    Y ahora hablemos del juego: Si eres fan de Star Wars, de los de tener tazas para desayunar, óleos de Vader en tu cuarto, y llamas a tu moto "Mi 74-Z Speeder", es tu juego. La ambientación es sencillamente inmejorable. Inmersivo a más no poder. Tienes la opción de retirar el HUD de la pantalla para hacerlo aún más realista, y realmente parece que estés dentro de la batalla, una locura. El sonido es espectacular (recomiendo jugar con cascos con buenos graves o con unos altavoces con un subwoofer potente) y la iluminación es mejorable (de hecho creo que la de la primera entrega le supera) pero bastante realista. Juego con un i7-7440 y una GTX960 de 4 GB y 4 GB de RAM, y con todos los parámetros en alto mantengo los 60 fps constantes a 1080. A veces si hay mucho jaleo puede bajar a 50, pero en muy contadas ocasiones y en mapas y zonas muy concretas. La optimización es un 10. El sistema de naves y de batallas espaciales se queda un poco corto con respecto a su predecesor de 2005 pero la jugabilidad y el manejo es realmente satisfactorio y muy frenético. Cuesta un poco acostumbrarse, pero en cuanto te adaptas todo es coser y cantar. El modo de primera persona en las batallas de naves es abrumador y te sientes realmente un piloto imperial (o de la facción que toque). Jugablemente hay disponibles 4 clases básicas + 2 especiales + héroes. Las básicas son en ambos bandos, eras y mapas, totalmente idénticas (cambia la estética, naturalmente), y cada cual se siente diferente y con un rol bastante diferenciado en el campo de batalla. Además puedes acompañar las clases con cartas estelares para cambiar las habilidades principales (ponerte una granada de iones en vez de una explosiva, o un escudo deflector en lugar de un sonar) para adaptar a tu forma de jugar cada personaje. Conforme vas consiguiendo puntos de batalla en la partida, bien sea capturando bases, cumpliendo objetivos, o eliminando enemigos, puedes "comprar" unidades especiales para manejarlas y aumentar tu daño o tu movilidad. O invertirlas en los diferentes vehículos y héroes.

    En definitiva. Si eres fan de Star Wars vas a disfrutar como un enano hasta cuando no paren de matarte una y otra vez, porque está todo conseguidísimo y muy bien hecho, hasta el más mínimo detalle. Además, como shooter (independientemente de la ambientación galáctica) cumple bastante bien, y es muy variado y entretenido de jugar.
    Como punto imperdonable y negativo diré que NO HAY DROIDEKAS.

    I am sick and tired of the hate people have been giving this game and only down voting because of the micro transactions. The game itself is actually a damn good game. Audio/Visually again top notch, wonderful gameplay and a darn sight better than SWBF1 was (which also was a good game IMO). There is loads of free content and the SP is good fun to play.

    As far as progression goes.... it's not as bad as people would have you believe. You really don't need to buy crates since all the good stuff (heroes and weapons) need to be unlocked by playing the game. The advantage gained through loot crates is not that big and if you are even a half descent player you will not need them in order to win.
    You should be able to unlock one hero during one evening (aprox. 3 to 4 hours) of play.
    Some of the Hut Contracts in SWBF1 took as much time to complete.

    The reward for playing a game is rather low (220 credits for a round of Blast) and would be nicer if the reward was linked to the players performance.
    But then again.... a round of blast is usually over in a couple of minutes.
    Add to that the extra credits you get from completing challenges and you will see that the progression system is not to bad at all.
    Not to mention that all the DLC will be free, a bucket load of which will be released in December along with the new movie (including another story line for SP).
    Me thinks this game is a good deal.

    Stop hating and start playing people!

    Haters, haters everywhere! Here is an honest review.

    Pros:
    - Great gameplay, including graphics and sounds!
    - For the most part well balanced
    - The class system is great, there are four well thought through classes.
    - Got to mention the starfighter multiplayer, so much fun!
    - Most of the heroes feel great, and not overpowering. (Though they should be contained to their era.)
    - The in-play reward system is a lot better than Battlefront 1's. You earn points for actions and use them to spawn as tougher units and heroes.

    Cons:
    - Even though well balanced, playing as a starfighter in normal MP battles gives to many points.
    - Loot boxes are too expensive. Should be lowered to around half.
    - Should get some crafting material for matches or dailies.
    - Campaign story was boring. (It was worth playing through, it contained some good moments.)

    All in all, a great game that I would recommend. All the cons can be fixed on a patch, except the campaign.
    Furthermore, the game is finished. There will come dlcs with more content like every other multiplayer game. This is to give us more replayability throughout the game. It is a good way to make it interesting. I have played for 15 hours btw, and I have all the heroes I want and a lot of cards on the units I use.
    Have a good day.

    The game is fantastic, looks absolutely amazing, plays really well and can really be its own thing, separate from Battlefield.

    Giving it a 0 is not in my interest, I fully agree that the practices with the loot boxes ruins certain aspects of the game and makes progression feel distant and even unfair at certain points.

    Still, great game, fun to play!

    The game is a solid well put together piece of art. Graphically you can tell how much time and effort was put into the detail (especially in 4K).

The campaign that was finally added was a lot shorter than I anticipated (completable in about 4 hours) however, the story that was playable had so much important content revolving the main cannon storyline that it was worth being short. Also, the game was geared to be multiplayer anyway and not to take away from online but I was even more happy that the arcade mode provided a base reason for those without internet connection to still be able to play. In addition to solo, arcade mode also utilizes couch co-op/versus to allow you and your friends to gather and play as a team or free for all and in different types of battles as well. One of the biggest complaints I am seeing is about credit drops and though they don't drop that often you still get enough to buy characters and/or loot crates you just have to be smart when making decisions. If anyone is going to complain about people spending money to buy crates, credits, hero's or whatever purchasable then buy some yourself and if you dont feel like it or don't feel like putting in the work then my suggestion is dont play any online game ever because it is not just EA or BF2 that makes (mods, if you will) content available for those willing to spend money (THAT IS HOW COMPANIES MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO MAKE MORE GAMES!). Please just play the game for what it is because graphically the game is phenomenal, the campaign was so well written it ties in answers to the films, the offline arcade mode adds to the fun of playing with friends for those who don't want to spend money and then the online multiplayer adds tons of more fun to the equation.

    Great graphics and gun play, story is surprisingly well fit into the universe, the arcade mode being only local co-op was a disappointment.

    All EA needs to do is make leveling up easier and micro transactions mean less impact on game play... the rest are just over hyped hating... its a solid game... but if all the die hards want to stay off... sweet... there will still be millions buying this game and the hardcore gamers that care too much staying away will make it easier to play anyway (weaker player pool)

    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.
