    I have to disagree w/ a lot of the people saying it's not improved from the previous game. BF2 has 4 player split screen. That alone is a major addition in my mind. The flight missions are completely unique compared to the previous game. There's a lot of new playable characters too, including jedi and sith. All in all this is one of the best games on xbox, and I'm not even a huge star wars fan. Expand

    The greatest Star Wars--or sci-fi war game- in all of time. This game BLOWS Battlefront 1 out of the water. Wether you're sabotaging capital ships, planting time bombs, or blowing stuff you'll have a blast with the new classes and the new battlefields. If you don't want this game, you are the lowest form of human being. May the Force be With you :)!

    I managed to get this 2 days early (thanks to the local supermarket not having a clue about release dates!), and ive been playing it solidly since. Its a fantastic game, like the original. All the basic elements are there, but now with so much more. The space combat, although short, adds a new twist. The new enviroments are a lot of fun, and the classics are still there. Graphically its a lot better, also now there is more of a stratergy element as you have to earn points to buy classes of player (the bothan spy is a lot of fun, watch how the enemy disintergrate!) If you like the orignal, you must own this. Expand

    Great game, but a few drawlbacks, like not being able to play CIS or Reabls in campain mode. But other wise a compleatly awsome game.

    Online play is where the game shines. The solo player mode is simply training. Those without XBOX live should stick to BF1... for those with...this game is simply too fun.

    This game made me go searching for it after buying a 360 (3 years after the system's release). Not perfect (occasional glitch, inconsistent AI, blah, blah, blah. Those things don't mar the overall experience. Added dialogue between soldiers makes it feel more like a battlefield. People who played online would agree that vehicles are overpowered (I once scored 121 kills with the rebel skiff on an online match). For those who complain that it lost it's battlefield feel, I don't get it. Even the heroes make thinks feel more immediate. There's nothing like 5 human players trying to gun down darth vader. Also, they released DLC maps both rhen vars, cloud city, and one more. In an age where shooters all fit into a similar mold of shiny graphics and ultra-realistic physics, this game is good unadulterated fun. Also, the graphics aren't "worse than the original". The original used excessive bloom and fade effects, covering up the unsightly graphical blemishes and making it difficult to snipe. I hope BF3 (now confirmed) brings back the naboo plains though.

  1. Great fun but far from perfect, mainly due to a handful of little niggles.
  2. A fun romp that stays interesting no matter how you play it. It has its share of flaws, but for fans, this is the first Star Wars game to have it all.
  3. Take away the costumes and the lasers and you've still got an excellent example of how to produce multiplayer bedlam. [Dec 2005, p.110]
