Star Wars Battlefront returns in this new sequel with new additions but still same shooting formula. In Star Wars Battlefront II you can play almost every important map appears on the movies including: Geonosis, Corouscant (inside jedi temple), Naboo, Mustafar, Yavin 4 and many other interesting maps. In this game you play has the clone troopers in the way they change from good to bad. Like the original game you have the ability to choose from many different type of clone troopers: normal troopers, heavy troopers (use missile launchers), sniper troopers that can shoot enemies from far places, commander troopers that have infinite ammo and better defense, the engineers that can repair tanks, etc. and last the jet troopers that use jetpacks. The CIS robots and the rebels have different types of soldiers giving the game some variety to it. The shooting with heavy troopers can be quite troublesome since they take a lot of time changing ammo in the middle of a battle. There should also offer more different ways to shoot like having 2 guns at the same time.

The addition on the on foot stuff is playing has a hero which is a jedi or a non-jedi like Han Solo or Leia. The controls are simple and each hero has their own abilities like for choke, push, pull and the most common lightsaber throwing. Heroes can be exciting dpending which one you are playing because if it does not use a lightsaber you will get the same feel has a trooper. Also some heroes don't have fast moves with the lightsaber like Darth Vader which is quite a dissapointment cause many fans want to play with him. Vehicles on foot work nicely altough some do not move smoothly, like the speeder bikes that can feel useless and easy die by hitting a tree. Still at least the tanks work out well.

The other addition and the biggest one is the space battles. In space you can decide which type of spaceship you want and hop into it. The missions consist of destroying important parts of the enemy's battleship. The really good stuff about sapce is that you can land on your enemy's battleship and destroy his interior parts and steal a spaceship. The controls can be tricky at first but you can get use to them after a while, and start spinning around through space. Tough controls area could have been better.

Online play is good and bad. Online play is good because you can go against people that for the most part are in your level of difficulty and is fun to battle against many different people. The bad stuff is that there is someone who wants to play funny and do team killing. Also sometimes they can boot you without even starting or because it was an accident and you say sorry but they boot you. But the really bad stuff is the lag when the game starts to freezes and suddenly your character starts moving weirdly.
Still is fun despite his annoying stuff.

Overall Star Wara Battlefront II offers a great package with most of the important stuff in the Star Wars universe: war, jedi and space. If you are a Star Wars fan then I would checking this game out. If you play the 1st game and not looking for something totally new but want to check the jedi stuff and space then is a buy here. The rest should rent it first if you have a PS2 or Xbox.
