Battlefront Deuce
I just got this game, and so far i really like it---and it loads very quickly on my PC. GFX look great and the controls are intuitive out of the box for the most part. It plays well and seems to have no glitches other than a slight incompatibility with my widescreen monitor, but it only causes a quick flash of an incompatibility screen that dissapears after a couple second severy time you go into a 3d mode (ie load a map).
Also, if you find yourself in need of a nice gaming PC, contact me through amazon! I build the best

A repeat of the first, with bonus features. A really big expansion pack
Just a year after the first Battlefront, another comes out. This game is massive on disk space, but it bears sharp resemblences to the original you'd find in a good expansion pack (like Yuri's Revenge to Red Alert 2).
There's plenty of fun features to play in this game, but not much you'd have already in the first one. The graphics are relatively unchanged, and the gameplay is almost exactly the same as the original save for a changed User Interface and other random nitpicks.
The Goods:
- An buttload of new things like levels, unit choices, unit skins (for the Republic and Wookiees and such), etc. New music from Episode III and levels.
- A campaign that actually has an interesting story, rather than randomly invading planets, the story tells a tale of the 501st Legion from their days in the waning days of the Clone Wars, to Order 66, to the rise of the Empire and their missions between episodes III and IV, a neat transition between movies, and between a regiment of all-clones to including some humans Stormtroopers
- Some of the missions have gotten creative in mixing and matching different sides against each other. For example, you have the Empire and its Stormtroopers fighting against a battalion of Clone War Droids re-activated by an Anti-Imperial person, Clones against Naboo guards, Clones against Rebels, etc.
- Air combat which was restrictive due to small level sizes is still a problem in ground levels, but there are new space battles, in which you have a greater amount of space to fly, boost, and attack enemy capital ships, even enter enemy ships on foot and attack their command center! Ship movements have been increased with barrel rolls, boosters, and sharper turning
- You can play as Jedi, and they are not grossly overpowered, so they are powerful, but can be killed if you're careless (unlike in the first game)
The Neutral:
- Levels from the first game are re-used in this one
- Planetary bonuses can now be purchased via a point system which can be used once and then re-purchased during Galactic Campaigns
The Bad:
- Lots of bugs make this difficult to cope with. Recommend getting all the patches and saving often. I've had experiences in which the game has crashed while I was flying my spacecraft in space.
- Galactic campaigns have been changed so as to have only one level per planet rather than two, effectively cutting the number of levels by a certain number (half of the original planets, plus new planets)
- Jedi/Sith have apparently become bloodthirsty beasts---their health slowly drains away unless you are constantly killing enemies. It drains much quicker than your killing arm can handle, so killing enemies is only a temporary boost in life. Otherwise being a Jedi is a five to ten minute experience at best
- The differences between this and Battlefront are minimal at best. This essentially amounts to a great expansion pack rather than a sequel, and the disk space it requires is outrageous.
- Game is too big and needy on system resources (compared to the first) to be casually played whenever in window mode (ps, to play game in windowed mode, create shortcut, and add command "/win")
- While naturally tough in the beginning, the campaign begins to get gradually more difficult no matter what difficulty settings you set, to the point of near insanity, demanding you perform countless tasks with a force of less than 100 infantry, while the enemies have an unlimited supply of reinforcements. Situations like these, as well as a highly powered enemy turns what were (as displayed in the movie) squash bouts in which the Imperials mowed down the Rebels in the siege of the Tantive IV, or the Battle of Hoth into bloodbaths which see you barely surviving by the skin of your teeth, while the Rebels continuously restock their men without end. It is perhaps the biggest downside of the campaigns, that the enemy always has an infinite supply of reinforcements, while you are given at best 50, and at worst 20, with occasional increments of 10 or 20 or at best 40 with each successful objective completion.
All in all, it is a great improvement on the first game, much like an expansion pack, but it does not change much, and has its own load of bugs to be dealt with that the first game did not suffer as much from. If you can get this cheaper than [...] dollars, you'd probably enjoy it, but I wouldn't spend too much on it

For me, best Star Wars game yet.
This is a very complete game. The fact of having the possibility to play as any of the units, as jedi and flying starfighters is just fantastic. I thought the space battles would be a little harder, something like X-wing Vs. Tie Fighter, but is really easy, could have been a little bit more difficult, but it's just fine. If you liked Battlefront, you'll love Battlefront II. I recommend this game to everyone who likes the Star Wars universe.

What happend?
I bought it a week ago, and I got this a day before yesterday. And I inserted the CD in my computer(Labtop) and I pressed play. When the game started, the background is all wierd! It flickers. I don't know why is it happening. First, I doubt that it was a part of game. But if it's right, if I pause the game, the background has to be still. But it still flickers. What happened? The game IS fun, but what's wrong? Is my computer's graphic card or something is wrong?

Much better than Battlefront I
This game is much better than its predecessor. Very few multiplier connection issues, kick ass game play (just like Tie vs X wing in some cases). I really like the hero aspect. Yoda on Degaba is riduculous. He's so short, all you see is a green light saber flying at your head in the tall grass. Force choke for Vader is pretty sweet. Haven't really found a big weakness in the game. It's just plain fun!
