    this game is incredible, and connecting my generation to my sons and daughters.

The micro-transaction system doesn't exist anymore... and people are still giving the best game I have ever played with my kids scores of 0 or 1, it makes no sense.

    A stunning visual achievement. Kudos to the artists who put their heart into it. A shame that most reviewers see fit to attack it for decisions made by management, not the creatives. Reminds me of a "0" score given for a good product that was shipped late or arrived damaged.

    Heavily pushed micro-transactions in a pay to win loot based system reminiscent of Free to play mobile games that no one enjoys. This is where gaming is headed. We need to show developers that we WILL NOT stand for this. It's disgusting that a full price, AAA game is pay to win with such a heavy emphasis on loot. DO NOT PURCHASE/ SUPPORT THIS GREEDY BEHAVIOR.

    loved the campaign, was just like a movie but longer, loved the locations, Loved the Kylo Ren part, made me sad at a few times, liked a few of the quips and dome of the missions were really well done, pissed off at Iden's Father for doing what he did, but cant believe what happened near the end, but i guess its still her father.

    Multiplayer is Great, Heroes vs Villains is amazing, and the rest is just as good, progression so far is easy and quick (in a few hours i got Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker), nothing i felt was OP so i dont get how paying for Lootboxes would have been an advantage over F2P players.

    Arcade is great for offline with Scenarios like the firsts missions in the original 2015 Battlefront but based on more of the eras. custom games are great fun though with only 2 modes, but with loads of options that is basically all you need for offline bots. each are still fun, (needs starfighter assault mode though)

    Graphics wise is some of the best i have seen with the character models that arent human look almost like the real thing from the movies, (maz looks Brilliant and yoda is cute... wait did i just say that) minus some distance objects popping in and out. Audio is the best in any star wars game and listening to Kylo rens lightsaber is just the best thing in the world. each world is masterfully recreated here and nothing can deny that. the ships are well made and modeled as well. the amount of small details in these worlds is great as well from the wild life running/flying around to the floor and sky details. finally making a return from The Forced Unleashed 2, lightsabers are able to cut the floors and walls when you slice them or just move around them.

    i might be a little bias being a star wars fan and even loved the Prequels because i watched them first as a kid (episode 3 my first ever star wars film in the cinemas back in 2005 was a brilliant experience), but that doesnt change the fact this is the best start wars game in A LONG TIME, though i did like The Forced Unleashed II which was great    … Expand

I miss a few things from the prequel, like I would love to use the AT-ST more, but whatever. The fact that we can play every era also adds to the game, and the gameplay overall is true to the Star Wars universe, and is a very good shooter game improving on everything SWBF1.

    Now to the lootboxes. I have grinded at least 6 trooper chests on a sunday afteroon, while havin fun in the galactic assault, and did not feel Iv been outplayed only because of the ability cards. (specialist stealth card OP, you can craft for 50 or something like that, for example, comon everyone can get 50 parts from the first daily box they open up). By the way I know, and understand your point people, we dont need p2w systems, we dont need subscription based games and systems, we dont need paid dlc and season pass content. We want buy-and-done games round 40-50 bucks. Hell we want games for free. But thats not, how the game industry works. Deal with it, have fun, and the star cards will follow soon.

    At the moment I would give the game an 8 out of 10 (7 if I wouldnt love the universe), but this time I ll rate it to 10 just to counter all the hate and stupidity that rages on.

    Well done devs and publisher, SW:BF 2 is a GREAT game, thats worth your time and money.

It's a shame EA cancelled the game when they did, because if they let it go on a little longer it likely would have become the best Star Wars game out there with heroes like Ahsoka, Ventress, Padme, and Cad Bane that were in development. Even still, this is one of the best Star Wars experiences you can have, and I could not recommend it more.… Expand

Things seem to be balancing out and online play is finally more enjoyable than frustrating. I have been really enjoying this game a lot lately.

    I really wish you could have a guest online though like most CoD games, with 2 players the arcade is really boring and gets old fast...we often end up playing online and swapping out every 3 deaths or so because it is just more fun than those boring time based modes for split screen.

    I really don't like that the best characters start out locked. Maybe if they could unlock as you progress in levels like other games things wouldn't seem like so much of a grind. It took a while to save up for Vader, too bad I can't get Luke for a while or even Palpatine.

    Even with the issues this game made for itself, its still a solid game. If the loot crates come back with pay to win in mind, I could see myself playing a lot less as I don't really have the spare money right now to sink into a game that I already spent $80 on for the ability to play a few days early.    … Expand

    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.
