  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.

    While the console ports are more recommended for their details and expansion, the PSP version is certainly no slouch.
  3. Fiddly control issues aside, Star Wars Battlefront II on PSP is a miniature miracle. [PSW]

    Battlefront II marches onto PSP without losing its keep strategic edge or its blaster-happy action. [Christmas 2005, p.110]

    Would have benefitted from an Infrastructure mode but the force is still strong in this one. [Jan 2007, p.67]
  6. It’s controls might not be the best but with a nice number of maps, space battles, Jedis and PSP-only game modes, this is the game to own when you’re far from your console or PC.
  7. 78
    Mirrors its console brethren in terms of complexity and scope but can’t keep up in performance. So while every vehicle, unit and weapon is at your disposal, you’ll need to contend with an unstable framerate and lackluster visuals while you take over the galaxy.
  8. If you are looking for a great portable Star Wars experience that blends console gameplay with portable style and flare, and you can bare with some technical setbacks, you are in for a real treat with Star Wars Battlefront 2.

    I put so many hours into this game when I was a kid, and if my PSP was still working, I think I still would enjoy it.
