PC Games Star Wars Battlefront II

Star Wars Battlefront II improves upon the blockbuster multiplayer original with new space combat, playable Jedi, and never-before-seen environments straight out of final Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith film. The game features an all-new single-player experience that takes players through an epic, story-based saga where every action the player takes impacts the battlefront and, ultimately, the fate of the Star Wars galaxy. The sequel features improved flight control, complex space combat that allows players to board enemy capital ships and battle to take over flying command posts or sabotage the ship to be used against the other faction, increased total online player numbers, and memorable multiplayer encounters in 12 new locations.

Revamped single-player experience includes smarter ai enemies and allies, plus a greater emphasis on story told through open-ended mission-based objectives; new space battles allow you to dogfight in X-wings, TIE fighters, Jedi starfighters and several other starcraft, or fight it out on foot aboard an enemy capital ship; special opportunities throughout the game for players to wield a lightsaber and use their favorite force powers as a Jedi; more than 16 new battlefronts on land and in space, including many from Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith such as Utapau, Mustafar and the space battle above Coruscant; all-new classic trilogy locations including the Death Star interior, classic space battles and the fight aboard the Tantive IV, Princess Leia's blockade runner seen at the beginning of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope; online multiplayer action for up to 24 players on PS2, up to 32 on Xbox or up to 64 on PC Windows; created by critically acclaimed developer pandemic studios.

Bots tend to lack the ability to think in Space Assault. If you rely on them heavily, here're some tricks to make them behave in relation to the very important transport in space assault:

Bots that are passengers disembark when the shuttle lands the first time.

Bots that are occupying a weapons position (including the un-bot-friendly tracking missile) disembark each subsequent time to you land.

Bots cannot reenter the shuttle (and subsequently explode it) if you land it on a ramp or on a narrow stretch of floor (as on some stages) since the majority of the shuttle body is floating off the ground.

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 

 Best game I ever had.
I cannot describe the feeling I got first playing this game fighting in space. So realistic, the graphics are awesome. Absolutely exquisite environments. Star Wars characters, Star Wars vehicles, Star Wars sounds, Star Wars music, what more could you possibly want? Maybe a shooting game is not for you, though. Unfortunately, I can't tell you about the online experience, because I have dial-up.
