Great game! My brother and I agree it is one of the best, if not The best, Star Wars game ever. I say this because unlike most other SW games you already know the story and who the players are, and like its predecessor you jump straight into the action to try and accomplish whichever type game you have chosen. One addition to Battlefront II, from the original, is you get to have space battles! THis is also one of the best things about the game in my opinion. You get to fly just about every fighter bomber each side has to offer. As you engage into a space battle you can either go up against a capital ship or dogfight with other fighters, or you can even board a capital ship to try and take it out by sabotage. You still have most if not all the original places (planets) to do battle and they have added a couple of others not found on the original such as the interior of the Death Star, which if you haven't seen the interior where the Death Star's laser is fired from, you will now. I don't want to ramble on about what all this game has to offer, but if you really liked the first you will very much enjoy this one as well. If you haven't played either I would suggest getting this one right from the get go. Hours of fun, you know the story, great original soundtrack music, oh yeah...... YOU GET TO PLAY AS A JEDI for good, or the Dark side with jedi powers to assist. Have fun and may the force be with you, your going to need it.Read full review
Pros + You can play as heroes now. That means I get to be Darth Maul!!! + Lots of vehicles. + Space battles!!! Cons - Almost too much chaos & bots do a lot of the work. - No real sense of playing people online because there are so many bots. - Can't choose your hero. - Vehicles don't control as well as the 'Rogue Squadron' series. Comments Graphics are great and battles feel huge. You only seem to be a tiny part of the machine until you get into a hero's shoes. Then you are unstoppable, almost. Fun to play with a friend as well online or off. Verdict Must have for Star Wars fans. Must play for anyone who liked the first. This one is much better.
The Galactic Conquest mode is what makes this game one of the best of the original xbox games, the ability to engage in both strategy and battle tactics is what makes this game so engaging.

There is much to say about this amazing game. Despite it being old and, to some, outdated, I find this to be one of the most entertaining games I have ever played. The product itself was fine, just a few scratches and some smudges, which is expected from a used game. It works fine and plays fine and I cannot complain. This is a must have for any console user and will always have a spot on my shelf.

Battlefront II was a very looked forward to game. For those that are Star Wars fans it seemed like a very good sequel to Battlefront (atleast to me).Yet the sad truth was it has very serious inconsistonsies in gameplay. I have compiled a small list. Though I do find many thing unattractive in this game it still is very good. -You can't go prone. This is pretty ridiculas. It realy insults war games like Battlefront. I would have to say that is one thing I can't deal with. -Tiny maps. The "battlefronts" in Battlefront II are TINY. I don't think that tiny battlefields are very fun. I prefer giant battles. (such as Geonosis front the 1st Battlefront) -No Heroes in Space. This would have been a very nice detail added. I would like to fight in a huge spacebattle cruisin' in the Millionium Falcon. Though it isn't a must have aspect it would have been a cool thing. -Various innacuracies with weapons/vehicles. This annoys me. Although to common people wouldn't notice these the innacuracies are very large. (all those that no zilch of star wars will find this confusing)The clonetroopers on Geonosis have armor by rank yet that poses the problem of too many lt's or sg's. The lasers on some weapons are off by a lot... The V-wing is supposed to be a Fighter like the Arc-170 is portrayed as in Battlefront II and the Arc-170 is supposed to be a Bomber. The frigates are to weak. The capital ships are invincible. And finaly the weapon equipment of some troops are wrong. -The things that were cool in Battlefront I that are removed. The things like Spacecraft in land battles, going prone, calling down orbital bombings, and the huge amounts of awsome maps were fun to do but removed. -And nemurous other things. The good things in Battlefront II however are numerous also. The award system enables players to get an edge on competetion. Space battles are heated and fun. Heroes such as Obi-Wan and Darth Vader are quite cool to play. The features on Mustafar are quite cool. Fighting on exotic planets like Felucia adds challenge. The Tattoine maps are fun and Jabba's Palace owns. The graphics and interacticity are very cool. Theres a large number of things to do in the Galactic Conquest mode. And so in conclusion if you realy want Battlefront II get it for PC becouse people will fix it with Modifacations and Tweaks to the game. This game had great potential but it might wind up as another Lucasarts failure. I would reccomend Star wars:Empire At War and its expansion if you like Star Wars war games. Also the Mod Ultimate Empire At War is a good addon to Star Wars: Empire At War. The link is WWW.ULTIMATE-EAW.COM however it may be down if your reading this in October.Read full review
