All Game Guide
Battlefront II is a superior game to its predecessor in almost every respect. It's almost as if the designers at LucasArts took every fan and reviewer complaint and addressed them, in the process creating an enjoyable game not to be missed by fans of either first-person shooters or Star Wars.

Pelit
Parannettu yksinpeli ei vieläkään pääse yli siitä, että se on tylsää näennäisnettailua tyhmiä botteja vastaan. Moninpelissä All-Seeing Eye -serverinhakuohjelmaa ei (ainakaan vielä) tueta, tilalle tuputetaan tympeää X-Fireä ja GS Arcadea. Onneksi sisäisellä hakuohjelmalla löytyi muutama serveri, mutta nekin Saksassa. Jos serveriä ei ole pyhitetty kokonaan pelinpyörittämiseen (eli se ei ole dedicated), ei sitä varppailua ja yhteysongelmien määrää jaksa. Ikävä kyllä samat ongelmat, joskin lievempinä, riivasivat myös Dedicated-servereillä. Kuolemankin huomasi yleensä siitä, että kesken juoksun ruutuun ilmestyi hahmonvalinta.

Game Informer Magazine
As George Lucas swims through his mountains of money and dreams up what Jar Jar's cousins might be like, developers like Pandemic are creating some of the most memorable Star Wars experiences to date. The movies may be don, but with games like Battlefront II, I have a feeling that the best in Star Wars is yet to come.

Nicht nur ein Fall für zwei: Dank Solokampagnen, Bot-Matches und Trainingseinsätzen haben auch Einzelgänger am neuesten Multiplayer-Shooter im Star-Wars-Universum ihren Spaß.

PC Games (Germany)
Obwohl dem Vorgänger vor eineinhalb Jahren der PC-Games -Award versagt blieb, avancierte der Mehrspieler-Shooter zum bestverkauften Star Wars-Computerspiel. Fans sahen dabei großzügig über die ein oder andere Schwäche hinweg, bot der Titel doch zum ersten Mal die Möglichkeit, zusammen mit Kumpanen auf den Pfaden der vielleicht schon seit der Kindheit bekannten Helden zu wandeln. Daran hat sich auch im zweiten Teil nichts geändert.

PC Action
Ein Wechselbad der Gefühle: Mir ging beim Vorgänger voll einer ab, beim Nachfolger hält sich meine Euphorie in Grenzen. Klar, die neuen Helden und Missionen sind schon eine feine Sache und bringen noch mehr Abwechslung ins Spielgeschehen, aber an sich bleibt Star Wars: Battlefront 2 ein gut gefülltes Update. Die Optik wurde nur geringfügig aufgemotzt und die Weltraumschlachten machen erst mit einem anständigen Bedienungsgerät Spaß. Apropos Optik: Finden Sie nicht auch, dass diese neuen Fotos von uns Redakteuren einen leichten homoerotischen Touch versprühen?

Strategy Informer
This is as good as that. To maintain competitive nature of the game the numbers of heroes are restricted to one per side. Well it’s anyone’s guess that one is enough to make the enemy go bizarre. Although all the game is well built and exciting, when it comes to pointing out the moment of the game there are a few prizes to guess it. It’s the point at which when you manage to sneak into an enemy fighter and just wait for the enemy to thin out and then cautiously sneaking out with it. It’s really thrilling to see the enemy confused when you start attacking with their vehicle. This hits the enemy hard and by the time the enemy understands this, the player can do a lot of damage and create a lot of havoc in the enemy camp. If players face some problems with fighters, they will just plainly hide it behind a rock, fix it and resume fighting. Really a thrilling experience!

Battlefront II is meer een update dan een opvolger van de originele versie. Je speelt grotendeels op de dezelfde mappen en in dezelfde gebouwen. De nieuwe single-player campagnes zijn leuk, ruimtegevechten voelen fris aan en Jedi's of helden zijn vooral een goede idee. Voor Star Wars-fans blijft dit dus een prima shooter.

The new space dogfights are decent, but it's not like you've all of sudden stepped into the Rogue Squadron series. Levels are fairly short, and you're never that absorbed into things before a poorly-compressed cutscene pops up to introduce the next mission. Even a faceless clone yearns for a life of significance every now and again.

1UP
The dark side rears its ugly head in only a few minor technical areas: Some of the maps, particularly the lush Yavin 4 and Felucia, suffer from heavy lag, and the game occasionally locks up or crashes outright during bigger confrontations. But overall, as a thrice-burned Star Wars fan, I'm pleasantly surprised by this game's quality. Ironically, it debuted on the same day as the Episode III DVD; by comparison, Battlefront II makes you wish Mr. Lucas had let the game designers have a crack at his screenplays, too.

De vernieuwingen mogen dan wel niet allemaal geslaagd zijn, Battlefront 2 staat nog steeds garant voor fun online.

GameStar (Germany)
In allen Bereichen mehr Inhalt, trotzdem weniger Punkte als der Vorgänger? Ja, denn sowohl Single- als auch Multiplayer-Modus halten der Konkurrenz nicht mehr Stand. In der Kampagne ärgere ich mich über die KI, im Mehrspielerpart über das fehlende Teamwork. Ich würde als Rebellenschmuggler gerne Munition oder Gesundheitspäckchen verteilen, aber ich weiß ja gar nicht, wer was braucht! Das Durcheinander wird perfekt, wenn mal wieder einer der zahllosen Lags das Spiel stört. Da bleibt der Star-Wars-Spaß auf der Strecke.

If Battlefront II seems like it's treading over familiar ground, that's because it is. If you already played the first game, you won't be surprised to see the same maps in this one. You'll keep fighting on the icy wastes of Hoth, the steamy swamps of Dagobah, and among the buildings in the dusty town of Mos Eisley. Some incremental feature improvements, like the new single-player campaign modes, playable Jedi, and space battles have also been tossed in for good measure. While there haven't been any radical changes made since the first game, Battlefront II remains a worthwhile choice for Star Wars fans looking for a good team-based shooter.

Game Revolution
Star Wars Battlefront II is another solid online shooter that sacrifices depth for dynamism and tactics for ultra-violence. Armed with a healthy Internet connection, this game will hold at bay the forces of boredom for months. Switch off that connection, though, and witness the biggest turn to the lame side since the new Star Wars movies. Get or get not, there is no try.

ActionTrip
All in all, if you're looking for an engaging multiplayer experience, I'd sincerely stick to more refined shooters like Battlefield 2. It delivers so much more in terms of gameplay. Still, if you are really-truly hardcore about the Star Wars universe and you scoff at the "silly nuts and bolts weapons" and thing halogen lights are strangely appealing, with a patch here and there, Battlefront 2 just *might* be the experience you are looking for.

IGN
While Battlefront was a dream realized for many Star Wars fans, Battlefront II is an odd case of déjà vu that boasts two major additions: Jedi and starships. Conceptually, those bonuses complete the Star Wars mystique and lend a much greater degree of authenticity to the game -- even eliciting a deep sense of satisfaction if only because we finally can wield lightsabers and fly starships. Now even though these additional options are granted, their implementation is flawed. And so more than its predecessor, the faults and quirks of Battlefront II stand out and become glaring because the new adds feel unpolished while the old gripes manage to rear their heads for a second time. In a product that should have remedied issues of the past without adding to them, this is a problem.

Bien plus convaincant que son vénérable grand frère, Star Wars Battlefront 2 aurait même pu prétendre à se hisser sur les hauteurs lumineuses du PC. Très réussi plastiquement, amenant son lot d'innovations et se révélant immersif, il souffre néanmoins de maux déjà diagnostiqués auparavant. Assez déséquilibré et manquant quelque peu d'ampleur en multi, il ne parvient pas vraiment à saisir le joueur, malgré une ambiance particulièrement attachante. Si elle suit cette évolution, la saga Battlefront pourrait finir par occuper le devant de la scène. Agréable et sympathique elle est.

Portanto, se você gostou de "Star Wars Battlefront 2" e estava doido por mais, vá em frente; se você odiou, nem passe perto. O impacto da seqüência é obviamente menor, mas se o que importa mesmo é a diversão, isso o game traz de sobra.

Après un premier épisode plus que moyen, mais disposant d’une ambiance capable de filer la trique à n’importe quel connaisseur des films de Lucas Arts. Pandemic Studio remet le couvert après moult annonces et quelques promesses alléchantes. Réussi notre nouveaux FPS Star Wars ? Bof bof.
