STAR WARS™ Battlefront II (Classic, 2005)

Not sure whats going on but I have a bug where the screen will just go completely black but when i pause its good. Dafuq homie?

The second in the Battlefront series that improved upon the first, with the addition of several play modes, playable heroes, and of course, award weapons.

This was one of the first games I ever played in my life. It will always hold a special place in my heart. The maps are great, the story is fantastic, galactic conquest is unique, and there are multiple game modes to make it more interesting. If it ever gets boring, download some mods, HarrisonFog is kind of an OG.

Watch those wrist-rockets brothers

With modding, the game looks decent even with 2005 graphics, and runs well on any modern machine. Only played the campaign so far, but it's very fun and missions seem well thought out and you truly feel like a stormtrooper in the Star Wars universe.

It's still loads of fun 20 years after it came out! The gameplay is just great old-school fun. For fans of the old EU this is the game you should play.

Played tutorial mission and got a black screen while switching to the last class, after heavy class.
Hitting Escape leads to the menu being visible, respawn did not work.
Boo.

This is the better version of BF 2. EA tried to capture the magic of this game, and well . . .

Anyway, this game is still awesome. Plays good, looks good even today.

Buy it, you'll like it.

the game play is amazing and the wepons are cool

dunno if its nostalgia talking, but i still feel like the game is still good even by today's standards. sure the graphics are a bit dated, but the maps are cool, the campaign follows the movies (with cut-scenes), the voice acting is nice and the amount of other mechanics, such as the several types of game modes are pretty decent

like the mission at the library is still hard as fuck and i dont know how i won that when i was just playing with the touchpad on a laptop back when i was little

I can not look her in the eyes. but also it crashes so much for me you need to mod to play.

Still so much fun after all these years. Great presentation, tight mechanics, fun maps. Silly AI optimized to be victims of mass slaughter, though will still mercilessly spam explosives at you when you're driving a vehicle. Space can be enjoyable once in awhile but gets boring, especially when played more than once at a time (happens often in Galactic Conquest). The single player campaign rocks, fleshing out the not-very-canon backstory of the transition of the clone army from Republic to Empire in a surprisingly compelling way. Classes are mostly very fun and balanced, though the "Officer" class is quite weak across all factions. Would be nice if you could play them and the "Special" units from the beginning of a match instead of having to unlock them, kinda like Battlefront 1 (which I think to this day is maybe the slightly tighter game mechanically, with better maps too). Despite insanely minor gripes this is still a banger, uber-deserving of its reputation as a classic.

Absolute classic, arguably the best in the series. Galactic conquest is a personal favourite mode and the seamless integration of ground battle to air support is something they couldn't even get right in the EA reboots (boarding enemy cruisers in space battles is also a brilliant inclusion). Whatever the price, it's worth diving into this now retro masterpiece.

Still great after all these years - better, in many ways, than the EA game.

10/10 classic Star Wars game. The nostalgia is strong

A very memorable nostalgic trip this game is, and it's even greater to play it many years later with mods. Be sure to look through mod guides because you can still play multiplayer if that is desirable - as well as mod that. Very active modding community is part of what makes old games the best games.

Fantastic game! Pretty dated, and not particularly cutting edge in my eyes, but that's what gives it it's charm. If you like Star Wars and classic shooters totally go for it. The remakes and modern titles have their moments, but if you wanna play battlefront and aren't sure which one to get, look no further.

Great game especially when I was growing up. Sadly keeps black screening when I play certain characters or do space fights.

Listen, the graphics now are pretty meh, but the gameplay is still top tier

Massively dated but still more fun than the modern sw battlefront games.

One of the greatest Star Wars games I've ever played and it still hold up!

The bugs make this game pretty much unplayable. I'm constantly having my screen go black and don't even bother trying ship battles in galactic conquest

A shining example of an old game that blows a good chunk of modern games out of the water in terms of content variety & prioritizing fun for the player.

The game is fun.

It acts a bit odd on my computer and I am now much worse at it then I remember.

Still fun though.

This game was my childhood. I spent hundreds upon of hours back in middle school playing through Rise of the Empire or Galactic Conquest or Mos Eisley Assault, on my own or in splitscreen with friends. Playing it again, it's just as amazing as I remember. PS2 era graphics aside, this game has so many immersive nods to the movies. Just about every inch of every level is taken from the films, even from throwaway shots you never paid attention to. All of the units and ships are the same way. The voice acting is top tier. The lines are beyond iconic. The music is John Williams' Star Wars score, possibly the most legendary film soundtracks of all time. The gameplay is perfection. The space battles are still the gold star standard that modern games with space battles are compared to. As are the various game modes, such as the previously mentioned Galactic Conquest or Mos Eisley Assault. Age notwithstanding, this game is a 10/10. Mandatory if you are a Star Wars fan, strong recommend if you aren't.

It's a classic; simple to understand, you can feel yourself getting better, and there's multiplayer. It doesn't get much better.

um classico incrivel bem portado e melhor ainda a comunidade mantem sempre os mods vivos e deixando o jogo mais bonito,baixem sem medo

The first game was prettier, more mechanically cohesive, and had better maps. The only way to play this game is either with a lackluster soldier or an overpowered hero. The blasters feel like peashooters, utility classes can't do squat, and god help you if you don't want to fight in the unchanging choke points that your artificial stupidity allies get stuck in.

Stick with the original.

This game is an absolute classic! It has great replay value, there's plenty of great mods and level you can download for free, and there's still a multiplayer community. It is by far, one of my personal favorites. I honestly wish the newer game was more similar. The new version just doesn't seem to have the same replay draw. Anyway, if you've played it before, you'll enjoy it again. But if it's new to you, you'll enjoy learning the pros and cons of each unit and which works best for you.

An amazing game when I first played in 2005 and still amazing in 2025. Do not waste your money on the Classic Collection. instead just buy this and, if you really need it to look good, there are some great mods that do just that.

Crazy how a game from 2005 is somehow better than most AAA shooter games released today. Still the superior Battlefront II, shame Aspyr messed up the remaster. This for sure the better experience.

Its a classic, and still loads of fun even compared to more modern releases. you can feel the age but the game play loop is very enjoyable, and I really like the space combat in the game. that part really feels solid even today.

This game is a lot more challenging or stressful than I remember it being when I used to play it on the PS2 with my brother. It has aged quite well though. The controls took some getting used to since again, I played with a controller not a keyboard, but once you learn it's pretty tight, and you can always rebind the keys. The action is fast-paced, having lasers and rockets fly past your head and explosions constantly going off and loads of troops on both sides running about the place is quite immersive. There are different factions reflecting the various sagas or eras and classes to choose from amongst them, each with their own loadout. There's vehicles available across the maps, both when you're fighting grounded on a planet or in space. If you perform well enough in a match, you get the opportunity to play a designated hero for a temporary time. There's a campaign, galactic conquests, instant action and multiplayer to play. Overall a very fun game and I'm glad I came back to it. The EA ones are missing something special that these classics have.

Had so many happy hours when I was younger with this game. New SW games aren't enjoyable. Me and brother spent countless hours on our first PC with this game! Installed it few days ago and it's still great! This game is from the time when developers made good, finished games! Amazing replayability! New games don't have even half game modes and features this game had! If you are for 2000s nostalgia and action game this is great! A lot of different troops, vehicles, starfighters, jedi knights, sith lords, a lot of maps you name it! Infiltrate enemy destroyer, camp with sniper, wreck havoc with Droideka...this game is endless fun!

This is a fantastic game! The campaign, galactic conquest, and instant action all provide a fun and great gaming experience. This version is just as incredible (if not better) as its PS2 version and does support controllers for those who use them. Modding is also available to enhance the base experience. This is one of my favorite games and I would absolutely recommend it.

The best Star Wars game to be honest. Not only does it have fantastic gameplay, it has Jedi Rocks.

There's still an active scene for this game! I remember playing tons of couch sessions with my brother and cousins growing up on the PlayStation 2 and I was really happy to see people still playing it all these years later. So get out there and save the galaxy or something.

I love this game so much, I grew up on it. Ever since I was a kid I would do chores just to play it. By time I turn 11, I got a Xbox 360 with a copy of this game and I played it for so long and so much that I got bored of it. Eventually I got a Xbox series X and had it in my library but almost never played it. But rolled around 2024 Christmas and got myself a laptop with an $80 gift card for steam. Loyd and behold Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005) was like $2, of course I got it and now started getting back into it. I love this game so much but I know once I completed the campaign and did all of the factions in galactic conquest on elite diff, I will lose interest. But if steam workshop was added to it, oh man would it make the game so easy to mod and make it so much more fun that it already is. This is not only to tell you the experience I had, but also a cry for steam to add workshop to it. But regardless, please download and give it a shot and I hope you have an experience of a lifetime same as I had!

It's widely considered the best Star Wars game ever for a reason. If you like Star Wars, you will love this.

fun game, but outdated mechanics/graphics/design

Will not boot. Waste of money. I recommend you just find a way to play the ps2 version.

Good game, holds up well to this day, just needs bug fixes. This game brings back so many memories.

Great game i love the story mode, the maps, and the game modes. Graphics are okay but mods can improve the game like star wars saga edition which makes graphics look better and has more maps and game modes so if you don't want to burn your computer getting 2017 battlefront 2 get this game (just don't get the classic collection).

If you experienced black screen while playing this game, it's likely because of Discord overlay.

Go to Discord, click registered games in activity settings, you'll be able to find Battlefront 2 being listed there, and then turn off toggle detection and toggle overlay. I also experienced the black screen and it was resolved after turning off the Discord overlay.

My opinion about this game: Yeah it's good

The game is amazing a trip down memory lane, so what more can I say about it?

One of the best Star Wars games ever created. I enjoy every aspect of it! The main campain, the multiplayer, everything. All the modes are fun.

I may have put 1000+ hours in to this game on the PS2. My brother and I played it every day for years. On PC, with mods and custom maps, it is truly infinitely replayable. I highly recommend this over the more recent re-release.

This game was a part of my childhood, and, despite the time passed, I feel like it still holds up.

This is the kind of game you wanna take a can of roasted beans and shove everything you can up your nose. I can't recommend it more!

It holds up really well in all departments. I'm not a huge starwars fan but I love a good shooter. Don't buy the classic collection

game doesnt work on PC, keeps black screening randomly
