Even though now all of the episodes of Star Wars have been complete, there are still a number of Star Wars games being released and have been having very good responses. One of the more surprising series to come under the Star Wars license was actually a shooter under the name of Battlefront, which...

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.

An exercise in apathy, neither solid nor liquid. Not exactly bad, but not very good either. Just a bit "meh," really.

I got to try this game out at a convention called egx and it was incredible, it's already looking much better than the first even though there isn't much difference between the two if that makes sense. If you enjoyed the first in any way then you should definitely check this game out.

Endor an era

Story is fun and neatly told with genuine humour; Beautiful environment design; Starfighter Assault & Galactic Assault are a real spectacle

Early tutorials intrude on gameplay; Lightsaber sections fail to capture the magic; Story slow to start; Loot boxes

And it's there, and in numerous other places in what's a relatively broad package, that you reconnect with the sense of wonder that's at the heart of this series. Star Wars Battlefront 2, for all its faults, remains a game that can get to the kernel of what makes the series so beloved.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 is the sequel to 2015's Star Wars Battlefront and promises to be bigger and better than its predecessor. Of course, these games from EA DICE aren't to be confused with the original Star Wars: Battlefront and Star Wars: Battlefront II (mind the colon) from Pandemic Studios.

Gameplay is an improvement over Battlefront (2015); Vehicle and hero spawns are well implemented; A lot of variety in maps

Campaign fizzles out about midway through; Timers block you from earning too many credits in single-player; Could use more variety in multiplayer modes; Oddly; no character customization at all; Gameplay is an improvement over Battlefront (2015)

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 wasn't too long ago, or in a Galaxy far, far away that there were two fantastic Star Wars Battlefront games. These were released on Xbox and PS2 consoles and still actually hold up really well today, other than graphically.

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.
