Star Wars: Battlefront II - Game review
8 January 2018
This is my first game review ever, and i'm not an expert on videogames reviews, but i love them and i've played them my entire life. With "Battlefront II" i decided to make one. I'm a huge Star Wars fan, and i'm a big fan of videogames, and with the release of this game obviously i was very excited to play it and to know how the game was gonna play out. Specially because before that, i played EA's first "Star Wars: Battlefront"

This is a very fun game, is not the best game ever made, but still a very enjoyable game. "Star Wars: Battlefront II" is in my opinion a game that is very controversial, some people are gonna say that this game is really bad and there are gonna be some people that are gonna say that is very good, if i have to choose a side, i don't know where to go. I think that i'm one of those people that are in the middle. I enjoy playing this game, but, at times, the game became kind of boring for me and that is mostly with the repetitive nature that this game has. We are going to talk about the flaws present in the game later, now let's talk about the great stuff.

This game has some very awesome things like for example the multiplayer stuff and the arcade modes. I really enjoyed playing this battles as the clone troopers, or traveling all over the galaxy across the three Star Wars eras. Playings as the heroes and the villains in the game, is very fun to play and i like the control for all the characters. Talking about the heroes and the villains in the game, i have to say that Kylo Ren, Darth Maul and Rey are my favorites new ones, they are phenomenal. I love the fact that Billy Dee Williams and Daisy Ridley came back to do the voices of Lando and Rey, they are great with their voice work. There are some heroes like Lando, Luke and Boba Fett that, in my opinion, have improved over the past game "Star Wars: Battlefront".

The campaign mode in Battlefront II is very fun, the story surrounding Iden Versio and the Inferno Squad is very interesting. And the story is even more interesting if you are a big Star Wars fan, the experience is gonna be better for you if you are a true fan of the source material like me. The cut scenes in Battlefront II are some of the best that i have seen on a video game console ever. The graphics are fantastic, some of the best on PS4 with out a doubt.

I bought the deluxe edition of this game. And if you want to progress faster in the game and you want to have some really awesome skins for your characters, is worth the other $15 dollars. But if you just want to play the game, you are not missing anything special that will change your game experience at all.

Like i said before, this game has some flaws and some of them are: The campaign mode, is very repetitive. You only do four types of missions, the normal ones, some heroes missions, flying missions, and missions involving vehicles like an AT-AT, that's it. The story is very fun and interesting, but the gameplay is not that good enough. Another flaw that i have with the game is the flying controls, i don't like them at all. At least for me, it took me like 1 or 2 weeks to know how to fly well to not crash to an asteroid every second. Also the star card mode in which you get the card to make you soldier better in combat is very dumb. Mostly because you have to get coins to buy boxes that will give you those cards that you want. You can buy the star card if you want, but to buy it, you have to get another type of coins that are harder to get, and that is kind a problem specially with the players that are playing games like "Battlefront II" for the first time. Another issue that i have with the game, is that some of the heroes are not available, and you have to buy them with the coins that you get in the game. And with that you are forced to play in the multiplayer maps to get them, which kind of disappoint me.

So in the end, "Star Wars: Battlefront II" is a very enjoyable game, is not flawless but if you want to pass the time killing some stormtroopers as Luke Skywalker, you are going to have fun playing it. Battlefront II is in my opinion better that the first Battlefront game that was released in 2015, and i'm having a good time playing it. If you are a Star Wars and video game fan, you should check this game out, and i'm going to give it a 7/10.
