5.0 out of 5 stars Frag on the Battlefront, February 1, 2006

Accidental Tourist "Marian M" (Twilight Zone, America) - See all my reviews

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Star Wars Battlefront II (Video Game)

Anyone who's a Star Wars junkie will tell you how they've imagined fighting as Darth Vader or Skywalker or Boba Fett would be. Pretty darn great. Star Wars Battlefront 2 not only allows you to do all that - albeit in a pretty short amount of time - but it gives you what the first game didn't. Space dogfights. And can I just say, Boo Ya?

In brief, the game is a blast - though not something you'll be playing all the time. It's a game you have to savor and then let rest for awhile so you won't get tired of it. Although it is a great game, it's repetitive. Shoot shoot shoot, die die die, upgrade, upgrade, upgrade, and after awhile, well, you feel like popping a different disc in. But when you're enjoying yourself and are really getting into it, it's an amazing game. The graphics are much better, though in online play, the same lag erupts like a bad dream. There are far more weapons and vehicles, and best of all, it doesn't take 3 minutes to traverse the landscape anymore.

As for the Jedi Heros coming into play, you can't pick say Darth and run around hacking off your enemies at will. During a point in the game, assuming youve accumulated enough points from killing people and being a hero, blah blah, you will get a prompt asking if you wish to play as the hero of that map. You pick yes, and you respawn as that hero. The only rule from here on now is, you gotta kill as many of the enemy as you can without getting hurt too much. Once you've taken too much damage, the hero will kneel out of the battle and you're back as one of the grunt Clone Troopers or whatever. This goes on until the battle is finished.

This is a great game that gives for lots of enjoyment until you get sick of fragging AI. Then you might want to hop online and frag. Which is fun...unless you tend to die alot. An upgrade from the first one in many ways. A good buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun while it lasts, December 11, 2005

Marc "Snowman" (Mt. Clemens, MI) - See all my reviews

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars

This game rocks. It's a big improvement over SWBF. There are more levels and yes, you get to fight as a Jedi. Pick among many including Luke, Yoda, Anikan, Darth Vader, and many more. Heres the lowdown:

Graphics: 5/5 These are excellent graphic for the PSP. The best I've ever seen so far. The picture is crystal clear and has a very high resolution. The movement of all the characters are very well done.

Sound: 4/5 The sound is good in this game and you get to hear all the ewoks, jawas, and the classic music, but the sound does skip here and there once in the while. Overall it's good.

Controls: 4/5 The controls are a bit clunky and repetitve at times. There is no second analog stick so its hard to move, but you move with the X, O, square, and triangle buttons as the second analog. It's kind of hard to get used to.

Fun: 3/5 Overall this game is really fun. You can fight as a Jedi like Vader, Luke, and Yoda. And yes, fight in space which is really fun. A bad thing is that it is like the first battlefront game. It gets repetitve really fast. This is a game that you can play here and there for like 5-10 min, but don't plan on playing this for long periods of time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Limitations of PSP for First Person Shooters., November 5, 2006

I love the psp for what it is. A great mobile gaming platform! But first person shooters just have limitations so far on this platform. Starwars Battlefront 2 is another example of that. I am not knocking the game but just think someone who purchases a FPS for the psp should not expect PS2 or x-box experience. The games controls feel clunky and laborous. I am not ripping the one analog control stick. There have been other very succesful titles on past platforms that have been easy to play that used only one analog stick. Its just that designers need to work with what they have instead of trying to have the same functionality as with x-box or ps2. Overall it is not a bad game its just doesnt have it "right"
