It's cool but hard,it's like the first one but more, like the command posts allow you to change your person in battle, and fight as a sith or jedi with force powers and high high high high force jumping, oh ya lightsabers.space battles to get to other ships which i don't really like the part of landing in another ship.Online is cool, more planets. giant monsters, like the 3 from starwars 2 attack of clones( arena gladiator place).and some big monsters you can play as, two playes too.Crazy fun vehicals. the game is good. go buy it, i think you should go to best buy and buy it,it's a good buy, a great buy.........A BEST BUY! batteries not included. ha, ok go away buy it, buy a Ps2 adaptor and Usb headset, this game is a HALO 2 in ps2, yes you got vehicles that have 3 postes, as in 1 person driving, 2nd shooting big gun and 3rd on top in the open to a snipper with a geeky pistol lazer thing. and some jets have a open space for up to atlest 10 peolpe, 1 flying it, another shooting, and the rest just standing in it.you can creat your person too only like the color and sybol not the suit kinda.you only got one commad commad which is follow you. well go buy Halo 2 .i mean battle front 2. 2 and 2. i tested out battle front 2 but i'm not telling you, but you'll love completely making your own person in 3.

Utterly Dissapointing

Save your money. Go buy some McDonalds or something, it'd be a far better investment than purchasing this abomination (a mistake I made the very day it came out). Take everything wonderful and nostalgic about BF1... Now clutter it up, and downsize it. I was insulted.

Where to begin...

SPACE BATTLES were one of the bullet points in LucasArts advertising campaign. They made it out to be this amazing new addition.. yet all you get is a lesson in frustration and repetition. Each Space battle is exactly the same; the only difference being the Mon Cal cruiser is to the front of the Star Destroyer in one battle, and then in the next battle it's to the right of the Star Destroyer. And storming the enemy ship isn't near as exciting as they make it sound. I had much more fun flying back and forth as a TIE Bomber straffing the bridge of the enemy ship than I did lobbing grenades at some anonymous computer terminal within the ships belly. Sure, it's fun the first few times you do it, but you fight a space battle nearly every other turn in galactic conquest. It gets so old so fast.

JEDI die to easily. After seeing Luke Skywalker chop effortlessly through an entire legion of Stormtroopers in BF1, it was more than a little anti-climatic to get blown up after killing only 10 in BF2. They are hardly the tide turning force we all expected them to be. And while this wouldn't be a problem if you could respawn as a Jedi once you were killed, the fact that you can't just makes the entire thing frustrating. If the jedi were a little more on the godlike side, as they were in BF1, then I could totally understand. But they arn't... and it's silly.

NEW MAPS all suck so bad. So much potential went unrealized here. The sink-hole cities of Utapau for instance. It wouldn't be unreasonable to expect... for instance... a two level battle with republic troops trying to invade a lower confederate holdout using gunships as landing craft. Kind of like what you saw in the movie. BUUUUT... all you get is a cramped, indoor mess. The other maps suffer just as bad. And some I can't even imagine WHY they would be in the game. A battle for Dagobah? A battle for Mustafar? A battle for Polis Masa? Come on! The fact that these planets don't seem like the types of planets you'd expect an all-powerful galactic empire to fret over just makes the battles feel less important and subtract from the sense of urgency you get when you're, for example, crushing the rebel base on Yavin. And the maps that were in the original.. like Tatooine, Hoth, Endor, Yavin 4, etc.. are exactly the same as they were in the first one with only minor changes. And most of those changes are for the worse. IE Tanks in the place of AT-STs on Yavin 4, which brings me to my most grievous (if somewhat trivial) gripe about this game...

VEHICLES. There's 3 maps that have an AT-ST. 3! Out of 16! and only 1 with the AT-AT! I LOVED THE AT-AT! And it's only on Hoth! Which was exactly the same as in BF1! No new experiences here. Just same old same old! Instead of AT-STs as the Imperial ground assault vehicle of choice... they gave us the old republic tank. They didn't even add a new vehicle for the Empire. They just gave it more tanks. Dissapointing.
-Where are the AT-PTs? There's a new vehicle right there! And one that most Star Wars fans would easily recognize (we blew up so many in the Rogue Squadron games).
-Why is there no level with a Republic Juggernaught tank? I know it'd mean bigger maps... but technology has progressed, and the point of a sequel is to advance the gameplay. Including level size.
-How come the Confederates only have 4 levels where they can pilot something other than a Federation AAT?
-The rebels only have 1 vehicle pilot and it's that goofy looking bunny rabbit thing. I know the rebels were poor and ragtag, but they had more than that with which to fight the Empire.
- Why is it that the republic was only given 3 vehicles to play? And one of those you can only play on Geonosis (The re-done Geonosis map is very dissapointing mind you. The original was far superior).
The absence of the most familiar machines from the Star Wars universe makes for a very un-star warsy feel. That, and the vehicles are much harder to aim with this time around. I ended up running over most of my enemies than shooting them.

BATTLES in general are cluttered and cunfusing. Couple that with a complete inability to control your troops, cramped indoor levels, with a usless minimap, and it feels more like you're fighting an isolated skirmish rather than an all-out battle for control of the galaxy. And star Wars.. as we all know... has always been about control of the galaxy.

IGNORANT/STUPID MISTAKES also plague the game. For instance, when fighting over Yavin 4... there's no red planet. It's just not there! Where did it go? Ask the developers. Maybe they can tell you. And during space battles, you have to take down the enemy ships shields before you can start blowing up their critical systems. We all know that those two giant globes on top of a star destroyers bridge are it's shield generators. However... when you blow those up in the game... the Star Destroyer still has shields! Not to mention that... I don't remember the Star Wars universe having so many nebulas and such. It was always mostly just Stars before... Hm... It's like fighting in the Babylon 5 universe, NOT the Star Wars universe. Anyhow, does LucasArts think we don't pay attention to stuff like this? Maybe this kind of thing seems trivial to the average gamer... but for an actual fan of the series, it should be a blasphemy.

BOTTOM LINE: This doesn't feel like Star Wars at all. And as far as big muliplayer shooters go... there's better out there. The first Battlefront for instance. It was just a lot more fun and user friendly than this version. Average Joe gamers out there may like it, but all the expectations and nerdy fan-boy giddyness I had was crushed and ripped to pieces by this game. There's so much they could have done and so much they shouldn't have done but did. That was the last time I get excited over a LucasArts game.

... OK, I lied. Star Wars: Empire at War looks pretty cool.

Will there be a Battlefront III?

With the success of BF2, will there be another sequel that let's you even play as the Yuzzhan Vong, or other alien armies.
BF3 should take place after ROTJ, and have new factions like the New Republic vs. The Yuzzhan Vong! That would be awesome! It would be awesome to be a Yuzzhan Vong. Sorry about being caught up like that. Anyways, BF2 had surpassed my expectations.
It's a game where you can fight in space, play as heroes or villains, and travel around new BF locations such as The Jedi Temple, The Death Star, Tantive IV, Utapau, Mustafar, Mygeeto, a new and improved Kasshyyk, Jabba's Palace, Polis Massa, and older maps that are more large scale! This time, vehicles have weak spots, which is bad when you're in the vehicle and good when you're firing at it. I love playing assault in Mos Eisley, where it's Heroes vs. Villains. I won't tell you whom usually wins.

Awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then you play it you feel powerful. This game is better than any StarWars game (for me), but it's a little hard to play.

The BEST Star Wars Game EVER!!!!!!

This is surely the absolute best star wars game that has ever come out!!! It's even 10 times more exciting than the first (though I still think the first battlefront game was great too.)! I do recommend it for those that love star wars and like to play intense star wars' game!

AWSOME!!! BUT ANNOYING (SOMETIMES)

THE GAME IS AMAZING, U SHOULD DEFINETELY GET THIS GAME, BUT MY FRIEND CAME OVER AND WE PLAYED, BUT THEN WE MOSTLY PLAYED BATTLEFRONT BECAUSE IT HAD MORE LVLS AND MORE FUN LVLS. BUT I DO RECOMEND THIS GAME U SHOULD GET IT. THE BEST PART IS U CAN BE JEDI, REMEMBER IF U GET THE GAME THEN U MIGHT WANNA GET BATTLEFTONT 1. I GOT IT THE DAY IT CAME OUT. MAKE SURE TO DO INSTANT ACTION THEN GO TO OPTIONS, HEROES THEN MAKE IT 1 SEC FOR HERO TO APPEAR, THEN MAKE IT ALWAYS FOR TIME UNTIL HERO BECOMES AVAILIBLE AGAIN.

HOLY CRUD IS THIS GOOD!

When I first got this game I was very excited. But when I started to play I was confused about the command posts and some other things, but after I understood them the game was great!
The graphics are really good, and there are a ton of different things you can do on this game. Quinn
