The sequel has everything you would expect it to have. However, it provides no new features that stand out from BF1.
One of the main things about Battlefront 2 is that you get to play as Jedi. Yes, you'll be playing as Mace Windu, Obi-Wan-Kenobi and Yoda as well as villains- Darth Maul, Darth Vader, the Emperor, Anakin Skywalker and more. Each Jedi has a force jump (except General Grievous). Mostly, the Jedi will have Force Push and Pull, saber throw, and for the dark side, Force Choke. For Jedi, it's time based. Killing enemies will increase time. Getting hit by weaponry will deplete your time. Believe me, I am making this sound much more fun than what it actually is. The Jedi hard to control. They walk slow and run too fast to control. If there is a large # of foes surrounding you, don't expect to last too long. Also, you have a small limit and is timed for guarding and jumping. It only takes a direct hit by a missile or a mine to make the Jedi go down. The lightsabers are rather weak. It takes 2-3 hits just to take down a droid and they don't pierce through tanks well at all.____________________ ______________
It's pleasing to know that there are other heros and villains to play as. Jango and Boba Fett make an appearance and have jet packs and flamethrowers. You'll also meet Chewbacca, Han Solo, and Princess Leia. Each have their own unique weaponry and each of them are rather satisfying. For all these characters, you don't necessarily choose exactly what you want. It is determined by what stage you are on and what time era.
Just like in Battlefront 1, you'll get to play Galactic Conquest and Instant Action mode. In Galactic Conquest, you'll travel throughout the galaxy attempting to take over it all. Bonuses are available, from Bacta Tanks to Extra Reinforcements to Jedi. In Instant Action, you choose the stages, the time era, and mode of gameplay. Such modes include Galactic Conquest, 1and 2 capture the flag mode, and Assault mode. Assault mode is space battle, one of the main additions to Battlefront 2. The Space battles play out very well. There lots of ships and styles to flying. And finally, Hunt Mode is added. In hunt mode, the characters you play as include Jawas, Wookies, Tusken Hutters, Wampas, and more.
In terms of the soldiers, every side all have 4 classes of troops in common: soldiers, heavy class men, snipers, and engineers. Every side also has 2 unique classes. Example: Droids have Droidekas (very hard to take down) and Magnaguards while Rebels have Wookies and Bothan Spies. Each class has their own set of weaponry and differ from the rest. A great thing about this game is the option of inverting between 1st person and 3rd person mode by just the push of one button.
Graphics: The grahpics have improved. The backgrounds look cool. The frame rate holds up. All the clones, droids and rebels look good. There's nothing in this game that really truly stands out on its design. Furthermore, some of the Jedi don't look that great. The explosion look pretty detailed.
Sound: The voice acting is good. The weapons have a piercing sound to them. The music is composed by John Williams and the game has just about all the Star Wars music there is.
Value: Single player mode can be beaten in a few hours, same with Galactic Conquest. Online play is available and it is fantastic. My only problem is being with 30 other people online there is most likely a big time glithcer somewhere. As to whether to get this or not, Star Wars fans should get of course. However, if you own BF1, I wouldn't reccomend this game because there just is not enough to it to actually go out and buying the sequel. If you're trying to decide as to which one to get, it would BF2.
