    For a mega title from a mega corp, what a disaster.

    Let's be honest, take Star Wars out of the title, you got an average game. Take the graphics out, you got a bad game. A franchise name and graphics are all that saves it. No support. Long delays in updates. No concrete communication. No "live service" as promised. Gameplay is a C+ to B-. But the balancing is always off,    For a mega title from a mega corp, what a disaster.

I had high hopes for the singleplayer, but I was pretty disappointed how it turned out. The campaign is around 4 hours, I honestly didn't really enjoyed it, the best parts were the space battles. Obviously, the thing that sells this game, are those beautiful graphics! After the mediocre campaign, I jumped right into the multiplayer, hoping that its better. No. It wasn't. The multiplayer was so unfair do to the pay to win system, which EA has created. For months it was a big giant mess. But after around 2018 EA has finally made some changes. They got rid of the loot crates. Well, most of it. You can now only buy them from in-game credits. They also changed the messy star card system. They added 3 new heroes, 1 new map and the time when I am writing this review, Anakin is nearly out with a new game mode. After this, I can only say one thing. Is this what took so long? I would want to give it a higher score, but after all the launch problems I listed, I can't give it a higher score than a 7.… Expand

To see this game have a user score of 1 is just ridiculous and is unfair on the game and everyone involved in its creation. Graphically it is very nice, it feels like Star Wars and sounds like it.

    Let’s start with the campaign, this will be short just like the length of the campaign itself. It’s fine, nothing more nothing less. It takes around 4 hours. It’s predictable and simple, verging on boring at times, it doesn’t really fill in anything in terms of the story between the films. It’s fine.

    I have played the online when it first came out and after the most recent updates and honestly don’t think the difference is that major. Yes if people have either played it more or previously purchased the loot boxes you are at a disadvantage. However if you persevere you will hold your own, it’s not difficult just slightly frustrating at times but you will have matches where you do exceptionally well and place in the top 5 (even without decent upgraded star cards). The modes are fun, particularly the flying stands out to me and makes me want another Rogue Squadron game. Heroes are overpowered but you would kind of hope so.

    The battle scenarios are quite honestly pointless. They are what you would expect about 15 years ago when playing against the AI before online games were a thing. It is really just a tutorial for playing as the heroes masquerading as a mode.

    Overall this is a good game that does not deserve the hate it is getting. It has been in the headlines for its micro transactions and they have since adjusted this. The game does not have a season pass and they update it with new content. People need to stop hating for the sake of hating. I have played many games over my life and could never truly say this game is a 1, look at it critically and honestly not just based on the fact it’s cool to hate on EA and jump on the bandwagon.    … Expand

    In release, this game's progression system and loot box use (Star Cards, Emotes, etc.) was awful. Of course, micro transactions had to do with that and was also a big problem as well.

Of course, micro transactions had to do with that and was also a big problem as well. People grind to earn credits each match just to unlock heroes, which is certainly a problem. The fact that you get more credits when a match is longer in time is ridiculous since a player with 17 kills can and may have the same credits as a person with only deaths in the leaderboard. Heroes and classes were also unbalanced, and some maps and vehicles may be glitchy at times. Over the months though, EA fixed the loot box system, made each hero free and tried their best to balance every hero and class equally, added more maps and heroes via seasons, added regular and hero skins, and many more. Season 3, or the Clone Wars season is also coming up very soon, and that is something players can be excited about. Despite all the changes and improvements EA added into this game, players just can't simply forget their undeniable mistakes from the past, and even up to date. Giving 5 as a score to this game, Star Wars: Battlefront II, is forgiving in all aspects.… Expand

    DICE sure has shown us how to make a great comeback with a game which was destroyed by public opinion at launch. With no loot boxes anymore and tons of content added since then (Clone Wars heroes, skins, maps, reinforcements, droidekas, DROIDEKAS), it feels another game. If you are a Star Wars fan, there's no reason why you shouldn't have it.

    Either way I haven't played this game in 3 years so I'm giving it a score based on what it was at the time of its release. A game with a very weak/ short story mixed in with average gameplay.

    And I didn't even go near any other aspects of the game because of what I heard about the lootboxes.    … Expand

I cannot give the game low score because the game plays well now. Progression is not that bad at all. I already unlocked some heroes and the progression does not feel that bad. It feels like EA is trying hard to undo the bad publicity surrounding the game. if you like Star Wars i would suggest buying the game. Let;s hope EA has learned from BF2 and it will not try to bring gambling to games again.

    all that been said, i can say i had a lot of fun playing this. my favourit part, campaing, was pretty satisfactory. Ok, the AI is terrible from both sides, friend and foe. And the story makes no sense at all from any perspective. not to mention the fact that ths campaign will take you like 4 hours to finish, and the ressurection dlc may take like 30min. it's stupid, but ok, i guess i've been far from star wars for so long that that i just really miss it, to be involved in some way with a Sw related thing. and the storytelling design was really exciting. before playing it i actually thought it would be another i-dont-care game, about a who-is-this-person soldier, doing some who-gives-a-damn missions, but it was really involving. sometimes yu play as Iden on foot, other times on space ships, than you play with some classic heroes, etc, perfectly mixed, nothing seems too much nor too little. i was really happy with that, even with this 3 skills thing wich is so lame and boring. specially for lightsaber heroes.
    what makes me think once more, why the f*ck EA games, an almost quadruple A studio, joined with freaking DISNEY for duck's sake, having unlimited money, how can they not ever, do a really incredible star wars game??? like let me freaking use a well designed lightsaber wielder against a real army, or use a real triple A vehicule in the middle of war. damn, there are much smaller companies, with much less hyped plots, allowing players to feel the real UNLIMITED POwA in other franchises. that kind of stuff really makes me angry.
    but okay, the game is no Gem, but i never expected it to be tbh, but its fun. real fun. and its beautiful. damn, these graphics are cool AF, the level design is so immersive, i really felt like i was part of the star wars lore just looking around. specially the spaceships maps, goddamn they are cool. millions of thins happenning at the same time, and explosions, and big ass ships, and little ships and lasers.
    but really, graphics aside, it just does not feel like nextgen to me. everything here except the story mode we on battlefront II on PS2. even less so, actually. people were more creative back then? i guess less lazy is more accurate, right? on pS2 12 years earlier TwELVE YEARS, we got to play creative stuff like ewoks vs stormtroopers, or republic vs geonosians. that **** was fun., talking about the 2005 battlefront 2, the 12 years old game, it actually had so much more content and with the huge plus of having zero microtransaction, or full price half lenght DLC.
    whatever, they managed to put an ok game together here, but it just really dont deserve more than a 5 for me

    Who would’ve thought I’d be here reviewing this three years later? I said it recently when I talked about “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order,” but I am a huge outsider to the “Star Wars” franchise. Be that as it may, as an extreme lover of gaming, I’m willing to play a game based on source material I’m not familiar with/fond of if the game interests me. In the case of “Star Wars BattlefrontWho would’ve thought I’d be here reviewing this three years later? I said it recently when I talked about “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order,” but I am a huge outsider to the “Star Wars” franchise. Be that as it may, as an extreme lover of gaming, I’m willing to play a game based on source material I’m not familiar with/fond of if the game interests me. In the case of “Star Wars Battlefront II,” though, a lot of my interest in this game stemmed from the fact that…well, it’s free on PlayStation Plus this month. Yeah, that’s about it. Though, I must also say that I was intrigued when I heard so many people say that the game has been improved immensely from the horror show that was its launch. Having played through the game, has it? Well…I guess? If you’re a diehard multiplayer gamer, maybe, but otherwise, as someone who is more of a single-player gamer that enjoys campaigns…the game is definitely still a mess.
    In terms of the positives, I can definitely say that “Star Wars Battlefront II” looks great. Visually, it’s excellent all-around, and the sound design is very good, making this a game that certainly looks and sounds the part as a piece of “Star Wars” media. Beyond that, though…I mean, I guess the game is playable? I didn’t find too many bugs to speak of, the controls are solid enough, and occasionally the multiplayer can have its fun moments? Yeah, that’s the best that I can say about the gameplay as a whole in this game: it’s functional. It works for what it’s going for, and I guess on the outside, I can respect that EA and DICE managed to reverse course and actually improve the game for its player base.
    That’s about the most that I can say in terms of positives for the game, though, and no, this isn’t gonna be me lowering the score because of the “microtransactions controversy,” because honestly, a lot of that flew over my head when the game came out in 2017. My fundamental issues with the game lie in other areas, for example, the single-player campaign that I mentioned earlier. I’ll be honest with you, what’s disappointed me more than some of the microtransaction drama and PR stuff that plagued the game early on is how much EA hyped up the campaign for the game, only for it to turn out completely pitiful. Even as a non-fan of the “Star Wars” series, the story is predictable and sloppy, the campaign itself is short, and honestly, while I’m glad so many people like the gameplay as a whole in this game…I’m sorry, but I don’t. This game is UNBELIEVABLY bland, there is not a single thing to the gameplay that I personally found special or gripping whatsoever. It’s just a generic third-person shooter that’s been painted over with a “Star Wars” theme to make it seem more appealing when it’s really not. The shooting honestly feels really unfulfilling to me, the space battles feel like DICE kinda just saying, “here, damn” and not really caring what fans want, the mission structure is completely generic, and honestly, the only time I had fun with the game was when I got to play as Luke Skywalker and wield a lightsaber. And even then, that’s one level out of the 13 in the campaign (counting the prologue), I can assure you that it is not worth playing the campaign solely for that one level. The game will often throw massive waves of enemies at you all at once and try to masquerade it around as “difficulty” when it’s really just awful game design. At its core, while I’m glad so many people have fun with the game, my fundamental issue with it is that, at its core, the game is sleep-inducingly bland. Even for the short length of its campaign, the game often feels like it overstays its welcome, and it’s easily one of the most dull experiences I’ve had with a game.
    Yeah…this was really bad. Has it been improved from its disastrous launch? Sure, I guess, and the fans seem to think so, which is great, but honestly, this game feels like it doesn’t matter. It still just feels bland, generic and shallow, almost like it desecrates the “Star Wars” series by applying its characters in a half-assed way over a formulaic, paint-by-numbers third-person shooter without any of the spirit of charm that’s helped this series endure for so long. I’ve heard a lot of people talk about how Disney destroyed the “Star Wars” franchise, and while I wouldn’t know because I haven’t seen the recent films, I think EA has certainly not done the series any favors, and at this point, they’re lucky that “Jedi: Fallen Order” was such a great game and that Respawn saved the day and gave them a diamond in the rough. Honestly, if you want a great “Star Wars” game, go play that. “Jedi: Fallen Order” is a far better game, and far more worth your time than this shallow bastardization. Skip “Battlefront II” and live in comfort knowing that you’re not missing much.

The tokens from the first game are gone and now heroes and specialists are usable through your performance through battle points, which rewards good play and not luck which is a massive improvement over its predecessor.The game captures the look and sound of stars wars perfectly like the previous game but they brought the gameplay to match. The gunplay is smooth and precise particularly in 3rd person and the star fighting while took a bit of getting used to is an unexpected highlight. Heroes are fun to play with unique abilities obliterating opponents but hero v hero is a bit clunky, however with 22 heros 11 on each side, all available from the start all with their own star cards to unlock adds replayability to a satisfying gameplay loop.

New modes, Heros, offline options, customization, guns, and maps have turned a blatant cash grab into a fun arcade shooter that is definitely worth a few bucks. My original review still stands for the launch version, but if you want a fun Star Wars experience it's definitely worth a shot.

    Original Review: I will never buy a digital game months in advance again. Battlefront 2 was my most anticipated game for this year and after dumping 30 hours into it since Tuesday I can confidently say I want my $60 back. It's sad that a game released in 2017 has less appeal and content then the game it was based on that released in 2005. I can tell that a lot of love went into the game but unfortunately shoddy business tactics ruin the entire experience. I'm done with these "freemium" $60 games developers keep shoving down our throats, I make my stand here and I will no longer tolerate this deplorable market of filth. EA and DICE, don't try to tell us microtransactions are optional and then lock the game behind hundreds if not thousands of hours of gameplay if a person doesn't want to pay. Games ARE optional, nobody has to play your game. There are tons of great games on the market RIGHT NOW that are cheaper and don't nickle and dime us with petty paywall nonsense. Hopefully this game crashes and burns, I'd be surprised if it holds its $60 pricemark for 2 months.

Reliability wise, there isnt many bugs, glitches, or exploits, which is expectable for a well funded game. Loot boxes are gone, but the total lack of in game funds to unlock skins and anything that'd be a highlight is pretty negligible. It's a case of patching the game and not actually making it better.

    The campaign is worse than Destiny's with this broken and barely coherent story of a shock trooper turned traitor. The main character literally doesn't second guess the morality of killing the people she's worked alongside her entire military career. You'll find yourself asking, "Why do I care about these side characters that DICE have neglected to develop the entire story?"

    SWBF2 is a mix of good and less good things. I bought it way after the microtransactions scandal, so I’ll pass that part (but keeping in mind it still happened).

    There is a lot of content when it comes to gameplay: many characters and some vehicles, each of them having their own abilities, which brings a lot of variation possibilities. The number of maps is more than decent as well, and    SWBF2 is a mix of good and less good things. I bought it way after the microtransactions scandal, so I’ll pass that part (but keeping in mind it still happened).

    There is a lot of content when it comes to gameplay: many characters and some vehicles, each of them having their own abilities, which brings a lot of variation possibilities. The number of maps is more than decent as well, and so is the number of game modes. I personally have a preference for coop, despite the many disconnects. The problem with competitive MP is that it all comes down to your character’s level. Someone having maxed his character’s abilities out is necessarily going to crush anyone else who doesn’t. On one side of things that creates something to grind for, which is perfectly acceptable in coop, but it ruins the competitive modes of the game. Confrontations with maxed out players are so unbalanced when you are a beginner. And I don’t see that bringing any good. This is even more dramatic in the spaceship mode, where the higher level you are, the more health your ship has…

    To come back on positive aspects, I could also state the fact I never encountered any network problem playing online with friends. Or I could also note the nice artistic direction for the campaign (which is unfortunately short and quite uninteresting story-wise and gameplay-wise).

    Sadly, that’s all I can think of for the good things of the game. It’s quite honestly a very normal game having nothing more to show than what the competition already has. It is below the quality of a good Battlefield game Multiplayer speaking for example. In this game’s MP, I hate to see the heroes constantly spammed (I don’t wish to wait in the lobby until one of them is available on the team). I also hate to see how OP they are. Heroes are almost impossible to kill if you engage them with a normal soldier (which represents 80% of your time in MP) and that is super frustrating.

    Lastly, I want to come back on the campaign. As I said it has a good artistic direction, but it also has a very bad AI, and the scenario is way too cliché. At no moment at all were I thrilled by the idea of progressing in the campaign to know more about the story. It is just not interesting. Moreover, the gameplay in the campaign is very dull and doesn’t bring anything more than what the MP modes already offer. The campaign is thus virtually useless in my opinion because the story isn’t even good.

    In conclusion, SWBF2 is a just a decent FPS. It may be more than that for die-hard Star Wars fans, as it is full of characters. That said, combat can be fade in this game, and it has all the problems I stated above. That’s why I believe that the only people who will love this game are part of a small niche. But for players like me, it just isn’t good enough for me to ever go back on it now that I finished it.    … Expand

    I got this one on the super cheap (like $10) with all the content in its celebration edition, just to clarify. From the beginning (with the first trailer) I really wanted to play this one, not only as a huge fan of Star Wars, but also of the original series. But my EA sense tingled too much for me to take the risk, and we all know how that micromess went.

If AAA gaming and greedy EA had not gotten in the way and ruined the launch, this could have been a triumph for DICE. The game looks and sounds amazing, and while the campaign is.... meh at best.... the added contents really make it quite the robust package. Unfortunately, all the bad practices and stupid decisions really sank this one. If you're a super fan like me, pick it up at the super cheap, otherwise stay away and hope that one day we'll get a game that really deserves so passionate fans.… Expand

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

    2020 version review: While the game has been made better by Dice, people are focusing too much on praising that it's "good now", rather than on the issues the game STILL has.

    You STILL cannot select the map, era, or even side, you want to play. Which is especially a problem with one of the two main game modes. And in general just a giant nuisance. Wanna play a quick round of Galactic Assault? Well here's the map you hate three times in a row. Plus, it can take a while for a newcomer to see all maps(not that it matters since you cannot pick anyway...)

    One of the two "main" modes, Capital Supremacy, only has 5 maps so far and is locked to prequel era only(with sequel era and 3 maps coming January, but no word on original era.) Also due to it's design, rounds can take forever to finish, up to a point where some dont want to play anymore.

    The other, Galactic Assault(13 maps, all eras) is solely objective based, and since you have no say in what is gonna be played, you might end up playing maps or missions you hate and don't want to play(and being forced to play it for the 234th time doesn't make it better Dice...) Doesn't help that some maps are just not balanced and one team will generally steamroll another in certain scenarios every time.

    They may have removed MTX, but there's still an unnecessary and lengthy grind to unlock equipment.

    Still quite buggy and glitchy. People say the bugs "are being fixed." But bugs are always being fixed - up to the point where they arent anymore. I wish the community would talk about what has been fixed, rather than pretending that everything *will* be at one point.

    And if you think, hey at this price it might be good for offline against bots at least. No it won't because most content is locked behind multiplayer only. You have no access to Galactic Assault for example. Starfighter Assault doesn't have objectives, and CS only the first phase of maps. Not even co-op is included, despite it being against AI anyway. But you get an arcade mode in which you simply kill enemies spawning in all corners...

    The "main" modes, actually feel more like Star Wars theme park rides than a game, in how the game decides what I'm going to do, instead of actually having a choice.
    It's honestly no surprise that Heroes vs Villains and Starfighter Assault are the modes that the community likes the most. These are more side modes, but are the ones that are actually what they're supposed to be and solid(except for balancing issues.)

    I think another problem is though, that it just doesn't stand out much in today's hero and team shooters. It feels like an ok multiplayer shooter with obligatory XP and unlocks, skins, etc. that'll be forgotten once the next one is coming around the corner, because that one's gonna have exactly the same things. If you haven't played this game, but played others of it's kind then you have played this already.

    I'm not saying the game isn't in a better state than it was at launch. But I feel that the notion "it is great" is vastly overselling things.

    And I cannot overstate how much of a **** decision it was to not have us pick maps. I haven't seen Mos Eisley in a whole week, despite it being my favorite map... Thanks DICE!    … Expand

    I have the game and I am very disappointed with the lack of a playerbase with empty servers to go in. With the microtransactions set up by EA, it caused a huge rift with the players because there are remnants who stayed in the game and purchased crystals (purchased in-game currency by real-world money) keep killing newer players and making the game more frustrating than it should.

    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.
