Never thought flying could be this fun.
Gameplay-
Very very good. They took away that sens of you being the only on eon the entire map who knows how to fight. You AI buddies are still... plain dumb.. but they are much smarter then the last game in the fact that they guard objectives and aid you when needed. The new character classes add alot to the games overall fun level. The new space combat missions are very nicley done mixing up the maps with asteroids and more ships.
Sound-
Well of course all of the traditional star wars sounds rear their head again in this game. You can go wrong with that. Incredible sounds.
Graphics- A MAJOR step up from the last game with the graphics. The amount of detail has DRAMATICALLY increased in this game. THe space enviroments are very pleasing to look at. The lighting is very well done and the lasers and all of the other things that needed a bump up in the last game have gotten it.
Overall its just a better version of another good game. Very fun. Anyone creative can figure out ways to keep themselves entertained with instant action for months.
