  • Summary: Star Wars Battlefront II improves upon the original game's single-player experience with open-ended, mission-based objectives inspired from all six Star Wars films. The compelling storyline spans more than 12 new locations, many from Episode III, including volcanic Mustafar and the spaceStar Wars Battlefront II improves upon the original game's single-player experience with open-ended, mission-based objectives inspired from all six Star Wars films. The compelling storyline spans more than 12 new locations, many from Episode III, including volcanic Mustafar and the space battle above Coruscant. All-new classic movie moments complete the Star Wars Battlefront II experience, as players battle within the interior of the Death Star and visit Princess Leia’s blockade runner, the Tantive IV, as seen at the beginning of Episode IV A New Hope. In addition, at certain key moments within the battles, players can feel the Force as a Jedi. For the first time ever, Star Wars Battlefront II players can engage in space combat and, during the same battle, board enemy ships to attack from within. Starting on foot inside a capital ship, players can enter the spacecraft of their choice and travel into space to dogfight with the rival faction. From there, they can dock within the enemy’s capital ship, overtake the ship’s command posts, man its turrets to disable its shields and destroy it from within! Or, they can simply stay inside their own capital ship and defend it from attacks and enemy fire. The choice is theirs. The stellar online play that marked the original Star Wars Battlefront returns even bigger and better for Star Wars Battlefront II. [LucasArts] Expand

  1. Not only is it the best handheld adaptation of a major console title, it adds extensive PSP-exclusive features making this a must-own game, even if you already have the game for another system.

    Would have benefitted from an Infrastructure mode but the force is still strong in this one. [Jan 2007, p.67]
  3. Fiddly control issues aside, Star Wars Battlefront II on PSP is a miniature miracle. [PSW]

    There's just some unrealized potential here that keeps good from becoming great. [Holiday 2005, p.96]
  5. It's got some of the console and PC versions' concepts and mechanics, but the lack of both a story-based campaign and online multiplayer sucks a lot of the fun out of this PSP shooter.
  6. I would have given Battlefront II a strong recommendation if it had infrastructure mode (Internet) online multiplayer but unfortunately it doesn’t which is a show-stopper, especially when you consider the retail price of the game.

    There's simply no way to get your fingers around it all. [Feb 2006, p.93]

    Во-первых управление - для тех кто раз в жизни играл со вторым стиком, не играйте в неё, для вас оно будет слишком сложное.
    Во-вторых пустые сервера, с другом не поиграть.
    Геймплей очень хороший. Я наиграл около 800 часов. И знаете мне пипец как понравилась.
    На сегодняшний день - это Battlefield (не 4). В неё очень интересно играть. Только не т сюжета как на PC или PS2 edition, и не все карты.

    I can't believe that this game is on the shelves when it is so full of bugs and glitches. The frame rate is awful with doors that open I can't believe that this game is on the shelves when it is so full of bugs and glitches. The frame rate is awful with doors that open 10 seconds after the enemy has walked through it. Just because it says Star Wars doesn't mean that the game is worth spending £35. Others seem to be playing this game through a rose tinted screen. Expand
