Imperial soldiers and Rebel insurgents are called back to duty in Star Wars: Battlefront II, a multiplayer-oriented sequel shooter based on the famous movie series. Like the original Battlefront, scenes are set in environments familiar from the films. For example, mission maps in the sequel have players fighting on the swamp planet of Dagobah, as seen in Empire Strikes Back, or defending Princess Leia's diplomatic blockade runner, as in the opening scene of the original A New Hope.
While designed to retain the features that helped make the original Battlefront the best-selling Star Wars game to date (at the time of Battlefront II's release), the sequel's technological refinements allow for new gameplay elements as well. With seamless transitions across an entire mission map, players could now begin a confrontation on their own capital ship, board a fighter to engage the enemy in a dogfight, then land on the enemy's capital ship and disembark for an assault raid, all in a single battle.
In response to fan requests, playable Jedi characters are introduced by the sequel, allowing gamers to take control of heroes such as Yoda, Grievous, or even the Emperor himself. To keep the battles balanced, players can only play as these hero characters for a limited time, and may temporarily lose access to them if they are not used to their potential in battle. Once again, the single-player game centers on a "Galactic Conquest" mode, but map-specific objectives add new tactical elements. Online multiplayer modes support as many as 64 in the PC version of the game.
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. Submitted by Jody (Nova Scotia, Canada) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 6 of 6 found this helpful.

Does Work With Vista I had some trouble getting this to work with Vista but after reading some posts online I got it working. Make sure you update your video and sound card drivers!!! I can't make myself any more clear than that. I thought mine were updated enough for the game but I was wrong. If you try playing the game and it crashes whenever you click a button at the menu to start a game, just to give you some hope, go to options and turn off the sound. The game should now work but who wants to play without sound?? Nobody and neither did I. Make sure your sound and video drivers are updated and try running as admin (possibly in XP compatibility mode). It does work in Vista if you do these things. I promise. Good game other than these Vista issues! Recommended! Submitted by Don (Bundaberg, Australia) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 2 of 3 found this helpful. This review is for a different format.
