Star Wars Battlefront 2 is one of the most enjoyable multiplayer games of 2017, especially if you like Star Wars. It's also more flawed than it should be. Battlefront 2 doesn't deserve to be wholly defined by loot boxes, but it's inescapable given the impact they have on some of the core modes.

It's been 2 years since EA's first Star Wars Battlefront and in that time they've promised across the board improvements to the criticisms to that title. More content, space battles and a single player campaign top out that list.

Star Wars Battlefront II 's campaign is merely okay, and its multiplayer is hamstrung by an awful upgrade system. There's also the spectre of loot boxes hanging over it like a Lightsaber of Damocles. However, it looks and sounds amazing, and gameplay-wise delivers the goods.

Top notch audio and video presentation stunningly recreates the look and feel of, . Starfighter Assault mode is excellent; greatly improved controls and neat level design make for an awesome-moment generator.

Multiplayer upgrade system is diabolical, even leaving aside first in, now out pay-to-win aspect – overly complex, random, and confusing; It suuuuucks; Locking many of the franchise's most iconic characters away behind a long grind is a dick move.

Buy Star Wars Battlefront II To say there's some pressure on Star Wars Battlefront II is an understatement. Barring any surprises, it is marked as the last triple-A multiplatform title for the year.

I thought 2014's Battlefront was a fantastic game, and compared to most AAA first-person shooters, it was a lot more approachable for people who don't necessarily play a lot of competitive shooters. For most parts of it, it was as simple as point and shoot.

Approachable and Fun Multiplayer; Space Battles; A Good Amount of Content At Launch; Great Performances; Fantastic Visuals and Audio; Playing as Solo and Lando in Campaign

Confusing Progression System; Random Nature of Unlocks; Inconsequential Main Story; Lacking Mission Structure

Captures the nature of star was perfectly however its let down by an complicated online rewards system. The lack of stats such as k/d ratio doesn't help either. This does feel like a star wars game so for any fan of the series i would recommend.

I played the last Battlefront and enjoyed it but for some reason i couldn't get into this one. Also, EA tried to pull a dirty trick on us which really left me hating them.

This game is a good example of publishers putting their dirty mits way too far into the cookie jar. Way too much pay to win Free to play garbage for a AAA premium title. Graphics and sound are good and can create some good cinematic moments.

The Campaign is short, unremarkable and at times feels like a chore to play. There are times it's fun, and it does a couple of interesting things with the story, but it feels incomplete. This game really shines in multiplayer. The controls are great, but as of right now the progression is slow.

We haven't opened the game yet because it is a Christmas present but ordering was SO EASY! it was ready for pickup at the store within two hours of ordering it. Amazing!
