Whether you’re brand new to the battlefield or picking your blaster back up after a long hiatus, Star Wars Battlefront 2 is a redemption story worthy of the Skywalker saga. It’s a big, broad, beautiful shooter that nails the Star Wars atmosphere almost everywhere. The campaign is still a bit of a snore, and occasionally long queue times in matchmaking and a handful of forgettable game modes give the multiplayer a couple of caveats, but highlights like Capital Supremacy and Galactic Assault make it stand out and the progression system is fair and rewarding. Overall, it’s a great package now...

The highly criticised and much talked about Star Wars Battlefront II has finally released and it certainly wasn’t the smooth launch they were hoping for. Before we talk about the review there is no denying that Star Wars Battlefront II has been lord of the reddit forums and quite the hot topic of gamer discussion recently. From the moment it went into open beta the game was in trouble, plagued with loot box woes and character balance issues, the team at EA DICE were clearly going to be in ...

Star Wars fans who feel compelled to try everything in the franchise will probably have an OK time. But the lack of clear vision that Battlefront 2 shows at its debut is too much uncertainty for a AAA shooter, much less one bearing the Star Wars logo.

Are these practices enough to sour the rest of the game? That’ll be up to you and your tolerance level. As much as I loathe this implementation of loot boxes, I still keep playing Battlefront II and I will probably continue to do so on and off. I mean, I do like the game. I just wish it wasn’t being squandered like this. You’d be well-advised to wait until overhauls arrive — assuming they ever do.

When working as intended, both are monsters in their respective fields: the Empire’s death machine delivers massive destruction, while EA’s multiplayer epic offers huge amounts of fun. However, where the Death Star had a terrible design flaw that ultimately left it in ruins, Battlefront II boasts something similar: microtransactions.

While in the midst of controversy, Star Wars: Battlefront II is now available digitally and on store shelves. You may be asking; is the vocal and frustrated fan base correct in their outrage?

A solid online shooter ruined by thoughtless corporate greed, whose malign practises could damage the whole of gaming if they are not kept in check.

With overly complex multiplayer and progression systems, Battlefront 2 saves itself from Jar-Jar status with a strong story and competent core gameplay.

Sirens roar ominously within the mangled remains of a Rebel frigate, warning all to escape. The clanking of hurried footsteps echoes through the halls before being replaced by a series of ghastly screams, loud enough to drown out the alarm. A door slides open to reveal the glow of a red lightsaber backed by the silhouette of Darth Vader. I fire my blaster, and he nonchalantly takes a shot to the chest. He raises his hand and I levitate with it, my throat closing as I inch upward. This spectacle of power is impressive, but as my life fades away...

The dark side wins out here, as good as Star Wars: Battlefront 2 is in so many areas it just can't overcome the aggressive, anti-consumer practices that are on display in their most egregious form to date in a $60 game.

Star Wars: Battlefront II was supposed to fix the weaknesses of the first game, with the season pass dividing the community. Unfortunately, the fun of shooting is spoiled by a shallow single-player campaign and a micropayment system that preys on players' wallets.

The entire history of Star Wars games is an attempt to capture the magic in those iconic battle scenes. We’ve endlessly recreated the Death Star trench run and the battle of Hoth on every major game system in the pursuit of that magic. This is what makes Star Wars Battlefront II so incredible. You engage in glorious galactic combat in a wide variety of massive theaters ripped right from the films. We’ve gotten closer than ever before to actually creating that magical feeling so effortlessly evoked by those battles. Players can now be a part of some of the most...

A very strong multiplayer offering tarnished by overly complicated character progression, and a lavish, beautiful story campaign lacking in substance or subtlety.

As of now, I think Star Wars Battlefront II has a lot of fun moments, but it's plagued by a variety of small issues that lessen the overall experience. If you’re not going to spend a fair amount of time in the multiplayer and have only been looking forward to Battlefront II because of its campaign, maybe think about waiting rather than making it a day one purchase.

When playing Battlefront II, I got my biggest thrill out of sneaking onto an enemy ship and hiding inside one of the small fighters on that ship. Then I sneakily flew that enemy craft off of the ship and began using it to attack my confused enemy. When I had some mechanical problems, I hid behind a rock on my selected planet and repaired the fighter, and then I resumed my conquest of the enemy.
