    *** Single Player Campaign Review ***
    Five Word Review: Cookie-cutter story, no ending.

    To start off I will primarily talk about the game itself and not loot boxes. But before that, the game is heavily revolved around these crappy loot boxes which make going against people feel unbalanced and basically cheating, especially in heroes vs villains and starfighter assault modes. You can tell there was no balance for these modes with the star cards. Now for the game itself, IT ISTo start off I will primarily talk about the game itself and not loot boxes.

You can tell there was no balance for these modes with the star cards. Now for the game itself, IT IS HORRIBLY BORING! this game is more boring than the first EA battlefront game! The newly added singleplayer is so predictable and boring, I ask my self why even bother to add it in the first place! Multiplayer.....OMFG, it is so lazy, unbalanced, boring, repetitive, and grindy. The maps get old instantly, I got bored of the game in less than 3 hours! The voice acting for Luke Skywalker, Leia and for Han is SO BAD! Lets also not forget how horrible Luke Skywalker is modeled. This game has very little effort even put into it, Don't just blame EA and LucasArts for this game blame DICE as well because they primarily try to make an excuse for no customization in this game when they can quite clearly make certain trooper types canon, Example they made stormtrooper shock troopers and shadow troopers canon! The last thing is you die SO....FAST it is unbelievable the combat in the OG battlefront is preferred just because you stay alive for much longer than you do in this game, the average lifespan of a trooper is an estimated of 6 seconds a pilot is estimated to be about 2 seconds. The only reason I give this game A 2/10 is that the clone wars voice acting is wonderful! The voice acting for Boba and Yoda is great, nice graphics and sound (which doesn't really mean anything to me since A. its a star wars game and B. its made by DICE having good graphics and sound is to be expected), please for the love of god if you want to play an ACTUALLY GOOD star wars game go on steam or GOG and get the OG battlefront games, the jedi outcast games, republic commando, and/or KOTOR(knights of the old republic) becuase at least games were not made by and for hyper active kids who have the attention span of a fly.… Expand

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.

    I feel bad about DICE for trying to make a decent game but this thing that EA did with the game is unfitgettable, many people doesn't even have a credit card me included, if I want to play a game I just want to play ONE TIME for the game,

    How to kill the Hype and destroy a Star Wars game? A terrible combination of 2 cancers in gaming industry: lootboxes + paytowin. Pure garbage. The only good point is the campaing mode, but.... its too short.

    The gameplay and graphics are pretty good and the plus of a single player campaign was preety nice, but i can not accept a game that makes me pay $60 to have microtransactions that meddles with the online gameplay if it was just cosmetics than it would less infuriating but unfortunely EA wants to push this loot boxes down our troats.

    One of the biggest disappointments to video gaming ever, I was so excited about this one until they ruined it with loot boxes and greedy p2w garbage.
    The single player doesn't hold the game up enough to justify the high cost of the game.

    This game is solid but ultimately flawed. While the game, which is graphically stunning, has many overall improvement compared to it predecessor, the introduction of loot boxes and allowing players who are willing to pay a clear advantage, has negated any improvements made and ultimately ruined what could have been a solid addition to the Star Wars Battlefront series.

    And to anyone who says: "they took out the microtransactions, get over it" NO, NO I WILL NOT. It's people like you that got us to this point in the first place.
    When Electronic Farts TEMPORARILY removed microtransactions cause disney told them they are actively hurting the star wars brand, that is when the power of bad press shows.

    To anyone that might read this: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!

    Micro-transactions are gambling, are immoral and it is a fraud on players from EA. Please, do not support these practices and don't buy this game. Although this game looks really nice, with nice graphics, its game mechanic is simply bad and broken and unfriendly.

    What a complete and utter disaster. This launch's reviews are comparable to the Batman Arkham Knight's PC Port reviews, except not for the same reasons. At least there weren't MICRO-TRANSACTIONS everywhere for the Batman Port!! There's pretty much no way to win, except by paying your hard earned cash on a trashy game with a short campaign and not much else to do.

    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.
