Star Wars Battlefront II review
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.
