    I love this game. its really the only game on the PSP so far for me, worth playing. Campaign gets addicting. Hero CTF is fun and i love the starfighter upgrades

    Fun but definitely lacking. The good: Controls well and responsive with the aim speed turned up from default settings, character animations are much improved, levels are well designed and are actually NEW MAPS. Weapons are more refined fun to use. Dogfights are quick and deadly now, instead of say in SWB:RS, when you could hammer a Tie Fighter for over a minute trying to shoot it down. The Bad: Stripped down starfighter roster (1 fighter and 1 transport per faction), claims "the most indepth customisation of any battlefront game" read 'extra two weapons' and NO extra player customization that wasn't allready in SWB:RS. The story, Reneagde Squadron is a veritable Shakespearian play compared to the train wreck of SWB:ES. Th Ugly. The transition scenes between docking/space are appaling. All atmosphere is lost due to the transition in no way ressembling the level you're taking part in. Space changes hue and capital ships straight up change colour. Expand

    Pros: it's a strategy action-adventure, it's star wars, galactic conquest is fun, decent story. Cons: bad graphics, dodgy camera, flawed gameplay, bad roster of characters, bland planets. OVERALL: extremely flawed but a fun game. not as good as "star wars: battlefront 2".

    Star Wars Battlefront : Elite Squadron for the Playstation Portable goes hand in hand with it's predecessor and any Star Wars fan will be proud to have this game in stock. 10/10

  1. Elite Squadron's big problem is its controls. The game has a couple control schemes, but I couldn't find one that didn't feel both clunky and inaccurate.

    The greatest problem with Elite Squadron is that it feels like a step back from its predecessor, Renegade Squadron.
  3. Star Wars: Elite Squadron is George Lucas' franchise as its best, or at least at the multiplayer features of the game. We've very much the same game that we saw a year ago on Renegade Squadron, with a new Campaign story mode that's set to discover every epic battle that we've saw on the original movies. And that's alright, but we were expecting something else of this adventure, mainly focused on the online.
