Star Wars Battlefront 2 Reviews
From the satisfying trooper battles on the ground to the thrilling dogfights in space, Battlefront 2 has struck back, delivering an unrivaled Force-fueled multiplayer fantasy.
A revamped progression system and the demotion of loot boxes to a purely cosmetic role finally gives this ambitious Star Wars game the redemption it deserves.
Anyone who's already a Star Wars Fan, is definitely going to be entertained by it. However, if one's leaves any elements aside that actually indicate the Star Wars franchise, what's left is solely a generic shooter - with admittedly stunning visuals - but a game that's offering nothing new.

The Star Wars Battlefront series has always been credible for it’s ability to somewhat ease the insatiable Star Wars void that sits inside fans of the iconic, sci-fi franchise. Come on fans, you have to admit that no matter how much you indulge in the series over a multitude of mediums, you always want more. This is where the Battlefront series shines. With it’s spectacular portrayal of Star Wars settings and events combined with trademark sounds of blaster rifles and Wookie cries, the Battlefront series definitely takes pride in it’s ability to moderate that galaxy sized void that sits inside you, regardless of who’s hands the game series sits in. It goes without saying that EA DICE’s sequel to Battlefront (2015), Battlefront 2 upholds that very same vibe the series is renowned for maintaining.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 is a good Star Wars game that unconditional fans will love thanks to the wide variety of maps, the fidelity of the artistic design, the many characters available and the atmosphere.

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 features fun gameplay, a campaign with worthy additions to the Star Wars canon, and offers gamers both casual and dedicated alike a worthwhile ride through the Galaxy far, far away!
Star Wars: Battlefront 2 will go down as one of the biggest screw ups in video game history. EA and DICE had the easiest job in the world and completely ruined it with the absolutely ridiculous and downright unacceptable progression system for multiplayer. Combine that with the incredibly boring, lazy, and cliche story campaign and you easily have the biggest disappointment of 2017.
Star Wars: Battlefront II is a wasted opportunity. The game was totally on track, fixing everything the first title did wrong and keeping the gorgeous graphics and perfect sounds. In the end, we have a mediocre single-player campaign, an ordinary Arcade mode and a varied multiplayer that suffers with lag, balancing, and a progression system tied to randomness.

Just like in the first Battlefront game in 2015 it doesn’t disappoint when it comes to the graphical side of things. Naboo, looks stunning, Starkiller base from The Force Awakens look practically identical and when moving round the maps you get a sense of “I’ve seen this place before” or “this is the part in the film where…”. You can tell that a lot of effort has been put into making the levels really stand out and like the locations they are taken from.
Despite all the changes and partial removals of Pay2Win elements it's still a broken mess.

Star Wars Battlefront is a perfect example for those who treat gamers like EA does. The game itself is gorgeous and nobody can deny that! But EA's miserable mistakes and some other things don't let it be better. This isn't something new. It's happened before and today we still see it happening. Looks like EA doesn't want to stop. Star Wars Battlefront is still something you can enjoy playing but you can easily hate its guts at the same time.

Like many, the Star Wars franchise is dear to me, so I'm disappointed EA let their plans for monetisation and a rush to meet deadlines get the better of them with Battlefront II. While there's some fun to be had in Battlefront II's multiplayer and arcade modes, there's no denying its story and mission design is lazy and uninventive. The game is full of Star Wars charm, expressed by its well-designed maps and excellent production values, but it's ultimately let down by a lack of incentive to keep playing and the very system that's supposed to let us live out our far-fetched Star Wars fantasies. The life of this game now depends on where EA goes from here – and yes, there have been steps taken to rebalance the economy, and free DLC is a good start – but inherent mediocrity limits them when it comes to players who want something that's more than a one and done Star Wars adventure.
on the outside, Star Wars Battlefront 2 looks like a true AAA title, but in the inside it's not that different than freemium mobile games. it doesn't matter how accurately the world of Star Wars has been rebuilt or how realistic the graphics are, the game is a mess at it's core.

Star Wars Battlefront II features a lackluster campaign, but there's a great multiplayer game here that is unfortunately held back by its progression system and, in turn, balancing issues. Regardless, it's worth experiencing for its engaging multiplayer space battles alone.
Battlefront II's campaign is a failed attempt to make an expensive blockbuster that, without a popular license, would look very boring. Online multiplayer in Battlefront II, on the other hand, is significantly better than in original in all respects.

It was clear that Star Wars Battlefront II had some issues prior to release, but I’d never have guessed that they were this big. It’s a bitter disappointment to see a game with such promise turn to the dark side.
I honestly don't want a game to turn out bad or anything but Battlefront 2 is a huge disappointment that carries the Star Wars brand just to sell more. Even if you're a huge Star Wars fan, don't go buying Battlefront 2 cause it's an empty, shallow and boring experience made by people who can't portray this world with style and substance made just to make EA profit from a big franchise

Improved gameplay, breathtaking locales, an original campaign and tons of multiplayer maps across all Star Wars series. And loot boxes.
Regardless of astonishing graphics and audio, Battlefront II misses the mark in more ways than not. The gameplay is a mixed experience. Combat is fluid and immersive, but ultimately frustrating due to mind-numbing grinds that can see users playing on autopilot. The game’s narrative starts off strong, but turns into a typical fable in which good conquers evil, highlighting EA’s inability to completely follow through on its promises. Lastly, the utter lack of content makes the title degenerate into repetitive monotony, despite the popularity of two of its major multiplayer modes. Battlefront II has all the potential to be a great title, but EA’s greedy fingers and lackadaisical attitude taint it beyond recognition. Gone are the days of the original Star Wars: Battlefront franchise in which single-players and multiplayers could get endless enjoyment out of each game. The result is an unhappy fanbase that will eventually hurt EA’s bottom line due to lack of confidence in the company. Until that time, EA will continue to push out barely-passable nonsense that masquerades as a AAA title, such as Star Wars: Battlefront II.
Star Wars Battlefront II is a solid title. Its core is not bad at all, but it suffers from many bad EA's decisions. There was no way that the microtransaction mess that was supposed to bring EA even more money could have succeeded, even among the hardcore Star Wars fans.
