With the latest movie almost making up for the quality of the first two films it looks like Star Wars has won back the hearts and minds of fans everywhere and Battlefront II aims to be the perfect celebration of that. Like the original it's a sort of Star Wars version of PC hit Battlefield 1942, where two armies face off against each other, either off or online, jumping in and out of various vehicles as they find them. Of course in Battlefield 1942 "various vehicles" meant jeeps and tanks, in Battlefront II it means X-wings, TIE Fighters, AT-ATs and, for the first time, Episode III vehicles like the BARC speeder, Jedi Starfighter II and V-wing. The biggest change to the game, apart from the new vehicles, is space battles with several of the levels taking part aboard giant space cruisers which you can exit in starfighters, have a dogfight in deep space around and then pilot back to for a bit more on foot combat. Levels include the Blockade Runner from the beginning of A New Hope, the space battle above Coruscant and Utapau and Mustafa from Episode III. Another long awaited addition is playable Jedi, although you can only be one for a short time so as to not unbalance the gameplay. Although the emphasis is on online play the single player mode has been beefed up with better artificial intelligence and a proper story linking all the missions. "Star Wars fans, like this, they will", as Yoda would say (if he was real and wrote game previews instead of being a Jedi Master). -- Harrison Dent This preview is based on an incomplete version of the game; features or problems mentioned above may not appear in the finished game.

 evrything you will want in a starwars game!! March 27, 2008
RJ Owen (uk)
this game is everything you could want from a starwars game because:
1.you can fight as EVERYONE! the rebels, wookies, jedi, empire plus more.
2.good variety of personnel classes, snipers, demolitiors, grunts and more
3.plenty of offline play, loads of different single player things to do.
4.good online gaming
5.graphics are not bad either
6.you can do space battles, flying x-wings and all the classics!
7.any vehicle you see, you can drive/use it.
but there are a few bad things:
1.the camera angle can get in the way of things sometimes
2.you will most probably kill more of your own men than the enemy!
3.and three, well, i dont think there is anymore!
overall this is a fabulous game, and a must buy for all starwars fans, and its xbox360 compatible so you dont have to worry if youve only got a 360 and not a normal xbox.

What an amazing game!
Compared to Battlfront 1 this has a lot better graphics and more Characters, as well as new content, Space battles in which your aim is to destroy the enemies fleet by any means possible, Playing as Jedi's and Sith's such as Darth Vader and Yoda! Final;ly playing in 16 locatrions.
The great thing about star wars battlefront2 it goes through each episode really. Including episodes 3's big show down of the clones and droids which is great fun to play.
Galatic conquest is more fun than battlefront 1 due to the help of the jedis and that you can play as them. My favourite character to play as would either be Darth Vader due to his special features, Darth Sidious/ Emperor palpatine because of his lightening strike or Yoda as hes just cool in general.
I must mension on seperate form everyhitng else the fun of space battles. You can generaly fly all of the fighters or gun ship eg x-wings, republic gunships and jedi star fighters my favourite due to there speed and great effective weapons.
With the instant action improved with there hunt modes etc this game you cant get bored with.
If your going to buy this there isnt much hesitation really, just look at the back of the game in the shop or look it up on google images and your just want to buy it straight away.
To sum this up a great game which your never get bored with.
This game really hits the spot October 6, 2006

Having had the first battlefront, I was excited when BF2 was released. The graphics are much better, the gameplay smoother and there are far more options - the gradual improvement in the skills of your own character throughout the life of the game is a subtle but worthy addition.
Most of my experience with this game is on teh galactic conquest mode which is challenging and fun. the space battles are great, realistic, exciting. The ship control much better than the original. I ahev no gripes with this game at all...other than it can be highly addictive - that 'just one more battle' thing. It is great to have conquests that run into weeks, try out differenet tactics.
Experience the star wars world and lose yourself. Maybe the most enjoyable multiple person game I have played...by teh way, I'm 33. younger children may find the intricies hard to grasp

Star Wars is such a huge fantasy epic which grasps the minds of so many loving fans. When Battlefront 1 came out it was like a dream come true. Forget Star Wars galaxies, forget Jedi knight jedi academy, forget all previous star wars games (well don't forget them there still great its just a figure of speech and a good emphasis method) Battlefront 1 was a hit. The chance to play in all your favourite battles with your favourite vehicles and a vast assortment of units was mind-blowing. And with Battlefront 2 there are even more battlegrounds to play on with even more vehicles and units. Space battles,a better ranking system having to earn the right to play as the special units. With a new 501st campaign and better galactic conquest this game seemed ready for stardom. But that wasn't all, the most exciting feature was the ability to play as hero or villian. What else could be better, to play possibly some of your favourite star wars hero or villans in some of your favourite battles. Ok there were restrictions to which hero which map but still incredibly fun and amazing to just chop through all those enemies with a sabre. The only major disapointment was the loss of a few original maps but on xbox live you can download some and there are also going to be more no doubt with new heroes and villans. So in my own personal view this is the BEST STAR WARS GAME EVER cause you can play it over and over and over and over and over and etc again and never get bored. Well i can.

I have read some of the reviews here and would have to agree.
The original Battlefront was made with passion and is a thrilling game. Battlefront 2 lacks passion and has just been rolled out without the fantastic gameplay or great graphics.
My advice would be to borrow a copy first and see if you like it then buy it if it hooks you.
