Star Wars Battlefront II Standard Edition - Xbox One

Got this game for my brand new Xbox One X and looks amazing. Great control, story and graphics. Big improvement since Battlefront 1. Great single player game play and story and good and entertaining multi player.

I know. I know. This game got a bad rap when it 1st released. With all of the loot box controversy. But in the end, that was ironed down to what should've been a solid game-play experience. Well, I can't speak for PS4 or PC versions, but the Xbox One version is so buggy, you'd be lucky to get it to load up the 1st time after powering on. Once you are able to play, however, it's not a bad game at all. I came for the story, so I Look forward to completing that before I move on to online multiplayer. Wish me luck. Still, I got it on sale and I'm still not that happy with it. I do like what story bits I have played through so far, so maybe there's a new hope around the corner. I don't recommend this if you're not a Star Wars fan and I barely recommend this to anyone else. Buy at your own risk.

I enjoyed playing Star Wars Battlefront, so when I saw that a “Star Wars Battlefront II” video game was going to be released, I preordered it. The graphics in the game play are good, as are the mini movies and cut scenes. I would recommend this video game to my friends. Especially on the Xbox gaming system. Enjoy!! “Long live the Rebels!!”

I’ve been waiting to get this game for a while . I was so excited to get a discount on what I think is the best game ever . Very Happy

Great game, easier gameplay than the original, I think. Pretty cool story and character/ game options.

My review is only for the single-player campaign so please bear that in mind. The campaign is definitely better than the first game and is surprisingly lengthy at about 8-10 hours, depending on how fast you want to complete the game but the graphical beauty will be missed. I played the game on an XBOX One X on a 1080p TV and can imagine how awesome it would look on a 4K TV. Sometimes there is no time to take in the sights due to the frantic shootouts in space but it is still wonderful to see the fighters, ships and asteroids which need to be avoided so as to not crash into them. The planets look authentic and makes you think you're in a Star Wars movie. There aren't many items to locate say as the Far Cry series but upgrades to weapons are made by finding crates or opening them after completing missions and serves the purpose. They can also be purchased with real money but the game is enjoyable enough as is without having to spend more. There are other modes which I haven't tried yet such as an Arcade mode where you fight off the enemy on different planets and also a Starfighter assault mode which is similar. The multiplayer is where the game's strength lies and there is a wide choice of characters to choose from. I wouldn't know how good the servers are not having played in multiplayer. I wasn't going to get the game at first but Best Buy had a special deal so I took a chance and am glad that I did. It's not the deepest game like Fallout 4 but does provide the fun of being in a Star Wars setting. It's mostly based on use of the right weapon at the right time and the accuracy of your shooting. Your flying skills will also be tested and is exciting to be in space battles. If you have EA Access on your XBOX, you can download a trial version to preview the game which starts at the beginning of the campaign. It costs $4.99 for a month if you just want to check out a few games at first or get a year's subscription for about $30 which gives access to a lot of great games for the money.

I've always been a fan of Star Wars myself, knowing the lore, games and whatnot. This is a must buy for any Star Wars fan despite the controversy concerning microtransactions in today's gaming industry. Battlefront 2 has an amazing campaign which explores the rise of the First Order and other events such as the Battle of Jakku, allowing the player to pick up on the latest Star Wars movies and how some events came to be. Multiplayer wise, the gameplay is pretty fair as it allows players to complete objectives as 5 different classes which may either support other players or turn you into a juggernaut. The first 4 are basic troopers and the 5th class is either a reinforcement or hero/villain. Unfortunately, iconic characters such as Vader and Luke have to be unlocked by in game credits. In the end, you really can't go wrong with this game no matter what the reviews say about microtransactions. Personally, I have had little to no issues in the multiplayer when it comes to balance, even if players do rely on paying to win.

Star Wars Battlefront II is like a dream come true. The game has a lot of content and it knows how to manage that with a campaign which introduces one of the best characters in the series. It also has a multiplayer that will be the one that catches us for months. Graphics and sound quality are the best of the generation, without a doubt.
