But all in all, it's a very entertaining game that I've spent many hours playing.

    Though you may see this game flooded with bad reviews, most are from the initial release, which in all honesty, was terrible. However, since the release, many of the issues have been resolved and the game is now pretty solid despite the fact that EA has cut support on it. Overall a good game.

    Pretty good campaign, although predictable and tiresome and pretty cringe at times. Really good multiplayer though, with lovely graphics and sound. But it is a bit too difficult and competitive online. So, as a casual player, prepare to get frustrated. But that seems the norm for online games today.

Solo story is fun but very short it's all about the online game. Unlike every other online shooter there is no hiding in a house for 15minutes before you do anything, there is no hoping you find a decent gun, there is no worry of running out of ammo, it's just more full on then any other game. Nearly all the problems that came with launch are gone, loot boxes are gone and replaced with a progression system and this all takes place in beautiful enviroments that are all easily recognisable from the films, best lightsabre fights you will find anywhere when two good players face off. If you dont give this a go it's your loss not mine edit: 22/11/2021 played Halo but this game is still more fun… Expand

It is so fun now and I have put well over a 100 hours in this game. Galactic Assault, conquest and heroes vs villains are the best game modes in the game and its what I put my hours into. As a massive fan of Star Wars, this is a dream come true. You can play all your favorite characters in star wars and use the variety of different blasters and vehicles to defeat your opponents. Boba Fett is my favorite villain just because of the fact that it pisses so many people off. The amount of salt they accumulate in the messages they send to me is so funny and I would definitely recommend a try of Boba Fett. My favorite class is assault along with the specialist at times depending on the map (hoth and crait are the perfect maps to snipe people) which are just so fun to play. Star Wars Battlefront II can be describe as the star wars version of battlefield and I absolutely adore it. Overall, definitely worth a buy.… Expand

    Yes, it had a bad start, and yes, EA loves to cash grab, but the gameplay is actually pretty good. The OG Star Wars: Battlefronts from 2003 and 2005 are better, but it's still a pretty good game, and we should appreciate how much effort they put in to make it a better game.

    While the game was a micro-transaction haven at launch, Dice have done a pretty decent job at fixing it. The game play is still fun and Resurrection is short but sweet. I would say it is worth picking up.

    The game is good despite the unsuccessful release. I've been playing it since launch. at first I would give it 2 out of 10, but now it is already 8 out of 10. the game has great graphics and control. For those who are considering buying, I say: I recommend.The campaign was a little short, but it does not change the fact that it is still a good game

    Great comeback. I'm so happy EA didn't leave this game after hard time and give it a proper support. I absolutely recommend it for Star Wars fans - it's probably the best way to fight against or for the Empire

    Right now in 2021 we can say that it is the best Star Wars game. Its multiplayer is fun and it always makes us with my friends cheer as we were 10 year olds back in the days. I personally liked the story and the resurrection dlc too. Hectic and looks amazing, nothing brave but it is very enjoyable, which is the most important thing. I'm so glad it has a renaissance and that we are part of it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A Comeback worth noting.
    At launch, this game was nothing more than disappointing and even more pay to win than the first game.
    I think it took somewhere near 4500 hours of grinding or 2100$ to unlock everything in the game.Thankfully, EA removed it and now you get every Hero when playing the game.
    The progression system with that was awful, EA removed it. EA even managed to not reward players when buying loot boxes because everything you were getting was crap.Even the editions were pay to win. Thankfully EA removed everything and redeemed themselves after many updates.
    The Campaign is not great because after the second mission your character realizes that the Empire is evil and becomes Leia Organas Personal Bodyguard. So basically, they lied to us in the trailers because only the gameplay from the perspective of the Empire was shown.
    The Gameplay is better than in Battlefront 1 and every mode is fun with friends.
    The Graphics set an impressive standard for Battlefront lll and are really good for a 2017 game.

At the moment I am playing coop mode, which I would suggest any new player to do the same. You can level up and learn the basics in this mode really well - it’s still multiplayer but only 4vs4 with the rest c- the rest of the teams are made up of AI bots so you can actually rack up kills and level up too. This game takes some learning but there areas many good you tube tip videos - definitely recommend watching some of those. Highly recommend this gorgeous looking star wars game - so much fun.… Expand

    game changed completely after years of updates and its way better now than 2017. graphics are great and even though fights are massive the game runs smoothly.
    campaign is too short and linear also AI is buggy but multiplayer is great and there are many fun modes and unique heroes and villains available to play.

    Battlefront II is fan service and little else; much respect to the craft, the attention to detail and the wealth of content, but sadly it just isn't enough. It's starting to feel as if Star Wars simply isn't a franchise suitable for this type of sprawling, large-scale multiplayer experience. It doesn't have it in its bones, and if DICE can't find a way to make it work, we're fearful nobody can. [Issue#195, p.72]

    Star Wars: Battlefront 2 will go down as one of the biggest screw ups in video game history. EA and DICE had the easiest job in the world and completely ruined it with the absolutely ridiculous and downright unacceptable progression system for multiplayer. Combine that with the incredibly boring, lazy, and cliche story campaign and you easily have the biggest disappointment of 2017.
