#Star wars battlefront 2 review update#
I’m definitely glad that we’re getting even more content with Iden in Battlefront II’s free update next month, as she’s a character I’d love to see more of. Again, this isn’t too much of a problem, but did lead to just a few small, frustrating moments where I found myself overwhelmed with enemies. Enemy AI does fine, but allies on the other hand can be a help, or do pretty much nothing at all. However, I should note that your ally AI in the story is pretty much inept. Iden and a few of the other new characters easily grow on you, and although there’s nothing mind-blowing going on here with Battlefront II’s story, it’s a fun galactic romp that matches the tone of smaller Star Wars stories, with plenty of danger, blaster fights, and snappy dialogue.įor the most part this wasn’t an issue for me.
#Star wars battlefront 2 review series#
Iden is almost instantly an interesting character, and seeing the battle of Endor from the Empire’s perspective is a fascinating thing to play for any fan, even more so seeing what happens after Return of the Jedi in the newly established canon for the series with Disney’s purchase.
It’s a gorgeous game, and everything is finely tuned to give off that Star Wars look, from the costumes to the panels on ships and buildings. The presentation of Battlefront II’s story is exceptional, both graphically and aesthetically. As it turns out the war didn’t quite end there. The game starts with the battle of Endor at the end of Return of the Jedi, and proceeds forward showing how both the Empire and the Rebel Alliance deal with the aftermath. You follow Iden Versio, the commander of an elite Imperial unit known as Inferno Squad.
Battlefront II easily feels like the game the first one should have been, and while some new head scratching design decisions are in the game, it does a marvelous job of dropping you straight into the Star Wars universe.īy far the most glaring omission from the first game was the lack of a single-player campaign, something Battlefront II fixes.
Now with Star Wars Battlefront II, DICE tries to correct course on some of the missteps made with the first game, and for the most part they succeed. With the pedigree of the old Battlefront games it certainly had its work cut out for it. It’s no surprise fans were excited for a brand new Star Wars game alongside The Force Awakens, however, for some the first one was an uneven experience that just missed their expectations. Star Wars has had the ability to reach across generations and genres like no other pop culture series ever has.
