  • 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 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] Collapse

  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.
  2. It can be fun in its own right to those who are both Star Wars fans and who can be a little patient with the controls.
  3. There's just some unrealized potential here that keeps good from becoming great. [Holiday 2005, p.96]
  4. There's simply no way to get your fingers around it all. [Feb 2006, p.93]

    This game was awsome apart from the controls. also the campaign was too short. i finished it all in an hour. more maps and missions would have been nice. overall a great game. Expand
  3. Welcome to Star Wars: Battlefront II. This isn't the same game as the PS2 version for sure, but, the PSP version has its own unique modes. Although those modes replace the campaign mode they still make interesting challenges. Putting you against a whole army as an assassin is a great idea. The game plays better in first person mode though as it allows for you to really embrace the full hectic masterclass that is instant action. You'll find that battles will kick off and let you watch as everything unfolds. Explosions plenty. Unfortunately the game isn't anywhere near as polished as it should be. Visuals in galactic conquest look shocking as to such, with pieces missing and animations jittery. Although the game at its core is as hectic as it should be. A fair deal. Expand
