Strengths: Huge variety of characters and different classes, will provide many hours of gameplay, co-op adds to the depth of the game

Weakness: Gets too repetitive if you play this a lot and/or alone

Star Wars Battlefront is one of my favorite first person shooters for the Playstation 2. The game has everything except a solid storyline. There are a huge amount of characters that you can choose from. You can be a medic who can cure your comrades, a soldier who is equipped with all the deadly weapons to take out any enemy, a pilot which can "heal" any machine/vehicle, etc. As a bonus, you'll...

Star Wars Battlefront is one of my favorite first person shooters for the Playstation 2. The game has everything except a solid storyline. There are a huge amount of characters that you can choose from. You can be a medic who can cure your comrades, a soldier who is equipped with all the deadly weapons to take out any enemy, a pilot which can "heal" any machine/vehicle, etc. As a bonus, you'll also be able to play along-side (or against) Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker. This game has non-stop action and you'll get to fight through all of the major battles that you watched on the big screen! A huge bonus to this game is the co-op (cooperative) mode. A friend can join you on your team or play against you and it adds to the replayability of this game. When I first bought this game, I could not put it down for a month straight. Once I got bored with single player, my friend joined me in the gameplay and it seemed like a whole new game. You can strategize with or against your partner, or they can strengthen the weak points of your team. This game is well worth the money because it will provide you with countless hours of fun gameplay, and it comes highly recommended.

Star Wars Battlefront

Strengths: Awesome shooter with Star Wars licence, great online play

Weakness: Could use a little more stat tracking

First, I'll start off this review by saying that I have never been a fan of first or third person shooter type games. Halo? Never played it, don't want to... The only game that is sort of in that genre that I have enjoyed is Metroid Prime. I also have never been into playing games online. Well, then along came Star Wars Battlefront. I avoided this game for a while because I didn't think I'd like...

First, I'll start off this review by saying that I have never been a fan of first or third person shooter type games. Halo? Never played it, don't want to... The only game that is sort of in that genre that I have enjoyed is Metroid Prime. I also have never been into playing games online.

Well, then along came Star Wars Battlefront. I avoided this game for a while because I didn't think I'd like it - how wrong I was. This game is incredible! Being able to play as clone troopers, battle droids, stormtroopers, rebel pilots, etc in several highly detailed Star Wars locations is great fun. The game is even more fun when played online. This is the first time I've tried using my PS2 online and, I must say, it was very easy to do - and it is free, which beats the Xbox any day.

A couple of the maps are particularly fun. First off is the Tattoine desert map with it's variety of flying and ground vehicles, as well as the Sarlacc that will eat anybody who comes too close. Both Bespin maps are great fun too. I was disappointed that neither of these made it into the sequel, but this review is about the original game! Hoth and Geonosis (both of which did make it into the second game) are also very good.

One thing that is remedied a bit in the sequel but missing from this first game is stat tracking. There is no online leader board and very little personal stats tracked in the single player game. However, that is really incidental to the core of the game, which is very good and very fun. Since this game is a budget title now, there is no reason not to get it. It is worth getting both versions too, since there are many maps that didn't make it from the 1st to the 2nd. This gives you the opportunity to pick this one up cheaply to see if you like the basic gameplay, and then get the sequel if you find it amazing as I did.

Star Wars: Battlefront

Strengths: Amazing graphics, awesome game play, online support, multiple levels

Weakness: None!

This is an amazing video game that is a must own for any Star Wars fanatic. The game has several battlefields from the different scenes during the many Star Wars movies, and this game allows the gamer to participate in these major battles to determine the outcome! One can play as the Empire or the Rebels and select a certain class of character, such as a sniper or plain storm trooper. The player...

One can play as the Empire or the Rebels and select a certain class of character, such as a sniper or plain storm trooper. The player can also control several vehicles during the battles to give them an advantage over the enemy! One can challenge a friend or play online with others to reenact these legendary battles!

fun forever

Strengths: Plenty of characters to play as, hours of gameplay, a lot of variety

Weakness: NA

Battlefront is my vote for the best Star Wars game for PS2 available. There are a dozen different characters you can play as, the action is nonstop, multiplayer is great, and the graphics are kick butt. Overall, this game is great for any fan of Star Wars.

Strengths: Multiple Classes to choose from and vehicles to operate. On foot, the levels are massive.

Weakness: In an X-Wing or any flying vehicle, it is way to small. You barely have enough time to shoot before you have to turn around.

This game is very polished, In pretty much every way. You can be the Alliance, The Imperials, The Clone troopers, and Battle Droids. Each has there own special character classes and have vehicles unique to that class. The Game has multiple worlds to choose from, including, but not exclusive to, Tatooine, Naboo, and Cloud City. Some even have alternate versions of the planet. Overall after playing...

I would recommend it to anyone, even if you not a star wars fan.
