A major improvement from Battlefront, which was itself a very good game but was lacking a few features. BFII goes way beyond what the past game had tried to implement. I was so surprised to find how different this game was from its predecessor. Just to mention one of the greatest changes: the ability to control the Heroes, more importantly wielding a lightsaber on to the battlefield. I thought this idea would be somewhat hokey and really would not be more than a novelty. I was pleased to be proven wrong. The way they worked the Heroes into the game was brilliant.

I was playing online the day after the game came out. I had not yet seen what it was like to control the heroes out side of the training session the night before. The droid I was controlling had just been destroyed, so I went back to the unit class selection screen to spawn my next Zealot. Suddenly there was a new character that popped up on the screen for me to select. After respawning in a certain location on what I remember as being the Jedi Temple, I was controlling a recognizable figure in black with a double ended light saber with glowing red blades. I soon found myself surrounded by Clone Troopers. The attack was on. Leaping from victim to victim through the air with acrobatic moves, I was leveled my opponents to the ground with flashes of red.

This truly gives credit to the skill and deadliness of a lightsaber and to the Heroes of the game. Kudos go out to Lucas Arts. They have created another masterpiece for the Star Wars Universe of Games, that out shines them all.
