Lucasarts has never made games that measure up to other developers, but this is a new low...
User Rating: 5.7 | Star Wars: Battlefront II PC
With this game being a sequel, I assumed that it would be at least as good as Battlefront 1...I assumed wrong. This game has "rush to release simultaneously with Episode 3 DVD" written all over it. The character models and textures are crap, although some of the ships in the space battles look decent - not great, but decent. This game looks worse than Battlefront 1 IMO, even on the PC. For example, play the training mission and look up at the sky. If you look straight up, you'll see a bunch of ugly seams where the sky textures dont mesh right. There is also an extremely noticable part of the sky where one texture ends and another begins in an abrupt line with light sunny sky on one side and dark cloudy sky right next to it. The space battles that they added are the best part of the game and can be somewhat fun, and the jedi characters they added are ok but do not add any "fun factor" to the game. Everything else about the game was a large step in the wrong direction from Battlefield 1. You can no longer lay prone. The graphics seems unpolished and rushed. The controls for the vehicles, especially the spaceships, are horrendous. The entire game just looks and feels wrong. What I wouldn't give to have a Battlefront game with quality on par with Battlefield 2! Please Lucasarts, give up on game development and let a competent developer make some decent Star Wars games for once.
