Star Wars: Battlefront II
Review by Tha_ownag3
"Possibly the best star wars game ever"
Star wars:Battlefront was released, and it made a huge impact on star wars game.It was great and had certain elements that could have made it perfect.Battlefront was basically battlefield but in the star wars universe.They let you get into vehicles, and interact with many things.Even though the game was amazing and changed the way Star Wars gaming was built, it still lacked some things.People complained that they couldn't play as Jedi and there were no space battles.Well its back and better then ever, Lucas Arts improved everything and the game feels complete now.
Graphics
---
Star Wars:Battlefront II has great graphics there shaded pretty well, but the game is still somewhat similar to the original one.The gameplay is well done, the background graphics are elegant with a great amount of detail.The graphics are bad sometimes but people can get used to it.The movies before each mission look amazing, and have great detail in them.
Music/Sound
---
Battlefront II' s music was pretty good, but still was lacking.The music would stop and then start again later which was pretty cool.There was episode three music in the game, and alot of familiar music from other Star Wars movies.
Story
---
The story for Star Wars:Battlefront II was excellent and indepth.The story is based around a military division named 501 st division.The story is told before missions, the game goes into a journal written by one of the troops, it adds a cool background story and shows you what your about to get into in the mission.
Gameplay
---
The gameplay was absoutely amazing.Everything that battlefront needed is in battlefront II, you can now play as Jedi, and fight in space battles.You play as a clone trooper and before you go into the fight you choose what type of guns and things you will have.This gets useful, for example if your about to destroy some enemy tanks then you would most likely choose the heavy trooper, because heavy troopers carry rocket launchers which would be useful when fighting a tank.In most of the levels you play as Jedi.The game shows how much more powerful Jedi are compared to clone troopers.As a Jedi you can use force powers and destroy droids easily.Enemy AI is good, the only thing i didn't like was that sometimes most things go after you instead of the other clone troopers.
Controls
---
The controls of this game were graceful and excellent.The controls are similar to the battlefield 2 controls.For new players it takes a few minutes to get used to, but after an hour of playing the game you will become good at it.The controls are easy to master.
Buy/Rent
---
Star Wars fans and FPS fans alike should definitely buy this game.It fills in everything that the original battlefront was lacking.
