A fun star wars shooter.
The gameplay is fun, the only sad thing is that the shotgun that the engineers have can decimate a whole team. But other than the overpowered shottie, the other guns are pretty nice as well. My personal favorite is the rocket launcher. its fun to shoot a well placed missle and watch as the storm troopers go flying. They changed the way you can get units to play in this sequel, you earn points by killing, doing objectives, taking command posts, etc. There are a few unlockable units for each side. For instance, the Republic Commando, which has a giant machine gun with unlimited ammo, but can overheat like the turrets. You can also be a jedi for a period of time. You have a minute or two to run around and kill enemies, the more enemies you kill, your health bar/timer goes up, but if you get hit, the health bar/timer goes down. The gameplay is pretty fun, single-player and multi. In single player campaign, you have a military rank that holds your Kill:death ratio, and certain bonuses. If you score a certain amount of points in one life, you get a bonus to your character, such as Endurance, which increases your stamina bar to jump and dodge. If you get enough of the same bonus in the game, the effect becomes permament. You also get upgraded weapons depending how you kill the enemy with that weapon. For example, if you get 12 headshots with the sniper rifle, you get a upgraded version of the sniper rifle, which has longer range, damage, and clip size. They still have vehicals in this game, and theres now space battles, which is new. In space battles, you can be a Soldier or a Pilot, the soldier protecting your ship and invading the enemy ship, and the pilot who flys around, shooting at other ships and the cruisers. Its a pretty nice addition to the game, and gives it more variety. Overall, i give the gameplay a 8.5/10 because of its amazing multiplayer and single player enjoyment.
-Graphics- 8/10
The graphics in this game are pretty good. They arent perfect, but they arent the worst. -Sound- 9/10
I love the way the lasers sound when you shoot, and the sounds from the various vehicles that you can drive and attack from. The voice overs are pretty decent as well, the voices really fit the troopers from the 501st fleet.
-Value-
If you are a star wars fan, or a shooter fan in general, i recommend that you get this game. You will have fun in the single player and multi-player games.
