Support the Rise of the Empire! (2008-09-09)
I was really hesitant to get this game after playing "Battlefront I". However, I got a good recommendation for it and praise that it was far superior to the first. That's pretty much exactly what I wanted to hear. "Battlefront I" is really cool in concept, but it was lacking a ton. Co-op was practically useless, too fast, and virtually no story. It was just boring! Luckily just about all these misgivings I had for "Battlefront I" were fixed in "Battlefront II".
I'm personally more into co-op based games than the online multiplayer scenarios and when it came to purchasing "Battlefront I" I felt like they forgot about the fans that play co-op. Not so with "Battlefront II". My friend and I spent quite a long time playing through this games campaign setting. It was absolutely awesome! Not to mention quite challenging at times. Basically you play as part of an elite squad of Storm Troopers called the 501st. You go with them on their campaigns as the growing empire sends them out to squash dissidents. It starts off around where "Episode III" leaves off and brings you into parts of "The Empire Strikes Back". It's really interesting because you get to see where the empire started to make a decisive stranglehold on the various systems we're all familiar with. My favorite part was being able to participate in the battle at Hoth from "The Empire Strikes Back". Yes! You get to drive an AT-AT, one of my favorite weapons of the Empire! My only disappointment is that I could not fly a Star Destroyer... although I imagine that would be clunky and I would've crashed it into all kinds of things... like planets.
Anyway, the missions are pretty fun to play. They're almost way too chaotic at times though. You have defined goals and points to conquer in each mission area and you have to complete all of them in order to move onto the next mission. So in mission one you could be asked to defend a location and they have a marker there for you to stand next to. When you succeed at that objective you get more orders to complete another task and so on until that particular mission/campaign is completed. In most cases you have a finite number of troops so if you keep dying and have to keep using bodies you will fail the mission. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty fun. Usually at the start of any new area you're pretty confused until you map it out in your head what you're supposed to do and where you're supposed to go. One mission that was especially confusing was when you play the part in "A New Hope" as Darth Vader's storm troopers board Leia's ship. At the end you're supposed to find Leia, but there's no marker and enemies respawn infinitely, so my friend and I were insanely confused on that level for a little while. It was really fun to play as Darth Vader though. Anyway, aside from intense amounts of chaos it was really fun and the maps you get to explore are huge!
Now judging by my rating you can see there were some things that I didn't like about the game. The chaotic factor in the battles can get to you after a while, but I think that's a pretty realistic feature, so my gripe really isn't with that. The worst part of this was the space battles. Luckily it gives you the option to skip these, but I would have preferred not to, honestly. The space battles are simply the most confusing thing I've ever come across! They're absolutely insane and I found the ships fairly hard to control. I could rarely figure out where I was going half the time. Maybe I just have a natural aversion to flight simulator styled games, but I was very lost on these. For another perspective, my friend who actually does like flying games hated this part of the game too. He also got lost and incredibly confused, so I guess it doesn't work like other games of this nature. Other than that the only things I wish I had access to were more character options and more access to force powers when playing a Jedi. They do give you some options to play as different storm troopers, but I think it would've been cool to have the option to play as various aliens and so forth. Maybe the game was already too big with what little they had so they had to limit it.
Anyway, as you can see this is far superior to "Battlefront I". If you're thinking about getting a Star Wars game like this, definitely get this one. You won't be disappointed and if there are parts of the campaign you don't want to do the game allows you to skip them without it hindering your ability to complete the full campaign sequence. Of course if you skip it you don't get to see the story or cinematic sequences for that level. This is also really fun because you play entirely from the Dark Side! If you really liked that part of Star Wars you'll love this. All hail the Empire!
Overall Rating: 3.3 out of 5
Bringing the battle home... (2008-07-17)
Battlefront was a great idea. Take all the best battles of the Star Wars movies, and drop players right in the middle where they can team up against each other in squads feel like they're a part of the movies. That game was good. This one is better. Pushing the Xbox about as far as it can go graphically (and even farther on the awesome 360 where resolution is greatly increased), this time around not only do you get to be in the battles from Star Wars, you get space battles and play-time as heroes and villains like Luke Skywalker, General Grievous, Han Solo and Princess Leia. And don't forget Darth Vader and Boba Fett.
You can play this game online, but for me the real reason I bought it (and bought it again after foolishly selling my copy) is that when you play split-screen on a big screen, there's just nothing like it. With up to four people playing at the same time split-screen, you get the instant reactions of your team-mates and the kind of fun that only comes from being in the same room. When I first bought the game a friend and me started playing one night, and ended up staying up until 5 a.m., despite his having to catch an early flight that day! Just one more, just one more. And then at about 3 or 4 a.m. we happened upon the campaign mission of the blockade runner from the beginning of A New Hope. We looked at each other and said "It's probably going to just be a few guys in the corridor, not like in the movie". Then the mission started, as Imperial Storm Troopers we both ran around the corner...and we were both killed immediately in a gigantic hail of blast-fire and thermal detonators. We re-spawned and again ran around the corner guns ablazing... and we both died immediately again. Some would call it cheap. We thought it was awesome. We kept up our insane assualt, finally making it past that corridor and taking on the rebels throughout the ship. And then my friend had the option of playing as Vader. I watched as he cut through Rebels with his light-saber like a hot knife through warm butter. Yeah, that mission was awesome.
As I've played the game, I've found that many of the missions are almost as great. There's the swamps of Degobah, the rainy exterior of Kamino, and the boiling lava of Mustafa. There's space battles that let you fly a Tie Advanced or hop into a Clone Transport. There's all kinds of awesome units like Dark Troopers (who have a shock gun and a jet pack), Clone Troopers with gattling guns, Bothan Spies, and Droidekas. A lot of units are from the previous game, but they're all great. There's lots of modes to play, from the turn-based conquest to the Several Campaigns, to the great multiplayer modes.
Naturally the controls are perfect, making aiming easy and precise. Of course if you're a PC gamer you'll argue till everyone is asleep from boredom about how lame a console controller is compared to a mouse and keyboard, but if you're a hardcore gamer of every system you may reach the opinion of myself and my comrades that it's better to play with a wireless controller on a couch than a mouse and keyboard on a desk. I actually have my PC and game systems rigged to a 22 inch screen I use for everything from watching movies to 360 games, and still prefer playing with the 360 controller because it's so comfortable and easy for me (and I care more about having fun than about getting the high score in a shooter).
Battlefront II might just be the most fun multiplayer game in existance for the Xbox with the widest audience. I mean, everyone loves Star Wars. Right?
Just what my son wanted (2008-05-09)
Frankly, I find this game a little boring, but then I'm not into the shoot 'em up type games. However my son asked for this for Christmas and he is happy with it, which is why I gave it a 5-star overall rating. I first read other reviews on Amazon, where I learned that in Battlefront II, some of the problems with Battlefront I were resolved and I was glad for the advice when I went to purchase. What I do like about this game is that you can play split screen so four players can play at once. The programmers did a great job of keeping all four players separate and you can interact with other players while maintaining separate views - its pretty cool.
Great Star Wars immersion (2008-03-25)
The game provides a very entertaining first person shooter experience. The campaigns are short, well directed and do not involve highly complex maps, so the difficulty level is in the action volume vs. the navigation. The ability to use vehicles is a nice feature, but the space battles are bit too difficult to control. A fine game for a beginner or intermediate gamer. Multiplayer in split screens is quite fun, but less cooperative than in other games.
