Almost a perfect game, but not quite.
User Rating: 9.5 | Star Wars: Battlefront II PS2
I own the first game, and I played the first game a lot, so I was eagerly awaiting this game. Was it worth it? Not quite. But let's focus on the good first. The game play is much better, with the improvements of some exciting new additions such as playable heroes and space combat, along with some new maps and game modes, and finally, some sprucing up of the old game modes. Probably my favorite game mode was the campaign, which follows the battles that the Clone 501st Legion of the Republic army took part in, along with the events that made them the Stormtroopers. The campaign is much more fun with the addition of objectives that you must complete to win each mission, so it is much more satisfying than the first. But, the bad thing about the campaign is that you must start the whole campaign over to play any of the missions. You can't just pick any mission you want to play once you beat the game or anything like that, so that is why the game is not perfect. But, unlike me, if you can get past that, you can enjoy the multi-player with your friends, either fighting against them or with them. This is a great game for Star Wars fans, and for anybody who likes to be in huge battles with lots of enemies.
