STAR WARS™ Battlefront™ II (Classic, 2005)

Played this game a few years back solo aand had an itch to play it again. Couldn't find any lobbies in my area and this game is unplayable with 300 ping. Plaaying solo, the bots are really good at drooling at walls but that's about it, you have to solo carry a team of 20 bots while the enemy AI coordinates and pushes. It's a testament to how well the game is crafted that it's still a good game :) It's star wars, it feels like star wars, it's immersive and fun. The battles are action packed and feel real. But yeah, don't expect too much solo, and online will depend on the playerbase in your area.

I can't speak for the multiplayer, so I won't. But for everything else there's a basically serviceable shooter here. And just barely. I mean, the mechanics are sound. When you center your screen on the thing you want to make dead and click on it enough times it disappears. But this is as much as SWB has going for it. The only animation enemies have for being shot is to do this weird twerking animation. The campaign is a joke. There are moments that are just absurdly stupidly hard. The friendly AI bots have two settings: "full moron" and "chill out I got this." I was hoping the campaign would cast me as any one of the games 4 factions but you're stuck with this 501st clone/stormtrooper battalion. The campaign is also short and uninspired. Levels are straightforward. Play balancing is completely nonexistent which accounts for the insane difficulty. Conquest is an interesting feature for a while until you realize it's nothing but infinite space battles/ctf and nothing in the way of tactics or strategy when it comes to conquesting planets. Space battles are by far the most fun I've had and account for an entire star added to this review score but even they consist of the same thing over and over again. But controls are super smooth and mechanics are functional and balanced. Plus you get to fly and shoot at all your favorite star wars spaceships which is rad. Available classes severely limit your options. They all follow the same template for every faction and are basically different weapon selections since weapons are classlocked. I only ever played as the basic soldier with the assault rifle because every other weapon seemed broken/lackluster. Even though you can set up your own custom battles SWBII doesn't offer enough variety to be interesting playing on your own.

I mean seriously though, best Star Wars game imo. nothing beats getting home from work and then firing the old "instant Action Mode" up.

i love this game
