  8.0

  The meat of Battlefront II is still on-the-ground, third-or-first-person multiplayer shooting, although it feels much more responsive and fine-tuned than the last game. Here, players pick a soldier type (engineer, stormtrooper, smuggler, etc.) and compete for flags or territory while blasting as many of the other team as possible.

  Good visuals and frame rates. With as much action that was going on I was delighted that I did not take a huge performance hit. Though some of the cutscenes were not as crisp as I would like, the game itself looked awesome. I enjoyed the game. The online play is fantastic and makes up for the mediocre enemy AI found in the single-player missions. The game is fun and entertaining and will be sure to find itself on many Star Wars fan’s Christmas list.

  You'll keep fighting on the icy wastes of Hoth, the steamy swamps of Dagobah, and among the buildings in the dusty town of Mos Eisley. Some incremental feature improvements, like the new single-player campaign modes, playable Jedi, and space battles have also been tossed in for good measure. While there haven't been any radical changes made since the first game, Battlefront II remains a worthwhile choice for Star Wars fans looking for a good team-based shooter.

  9.0

  Battlefront II is most definitely a homerun for LucasArts and Pandemic. With plenty of maps and intriguing campaign missions, Battlefront II's replay value is already pretty high. Tack on the addictive nature of Xbox Live and we have a game that is worth every penny you dropped for it. Battlefront was the best selling Star Wars game ever, meaning Battlefront II will easily take that title.
