This game is as good as you've heard. I can safely say that this is the best Star Wars game ever produced. The gameplay is good enough that the title could stand on it's own even without the backing of such a powerful license.
Everything players loved about Battlefront is back in the sequel. If you haven't played the original by now, it's definitely worth picking up.
The squad based action is a little more complicated this time around, and will require players to constantly switch between different types of troops to accomplish different objectives. The game still manages to offer a little bit of basic pick-up-and-play ability, and gamers will become accustomed to the new style very quickly.
The addition of playable Jedi Knights is a brilliant idea. While it takes away from some of the military feel of the game, it adds a new dimension that really brings you back into the Star Wars Universe. The Space Battles are a nice touch, but I personally could take or leave them.
The sound and graphics are top notch. Excellent voice work adds to the feel of the game, and gives it a nice backstory.
This is a high quality title that features addictive gameplay and enough variety to keep gamers entertained for countless hours. All in all, this is one of the best games on the market and I recommend it as a purchase to everyone.
