STAR WARS™ Battlefront II (Classic, 2005)

Best memories of all time are located in this game.

i played this back on the ps2. very fun and no hassle to get working on modern hardware. the game feels a lot better with mouse and keyboard than it did with a controller. havent tried online yet but that wasnt why i got the game. 10 outta 10. if you havent played this one and only the newer ones, well you should play this because its waaay better.

i dont like it the screen keeps going black every single 30 mins i launch into a game then it stays like that for 10 mins and i die i cant even play because of that game problem

overhyped you kids were never there for the launch i was. I played heroes vs villains back in the old day. Clunky controls, trash cast (no sequel characters) and a lot of questionable choices that break canon even for the time. If you want a true battlefront experience play elite squadron its way better.

very nice, bf1 but better and phase 2 clonetroopers and playable jedi are the reason why i got this game

One of the greatest nostalgia thrill rides for any Star Wars fan.
A time where you were given over +30 maps on day one with the games release.

A time where you came home from school and only thought was how many maps on Instant Action you could get through with your brother before dinner time.

A time when all you cared about was what Hero or Villian to choose. Meanwhile your parents were concerned about the housing market crashing and what to do for food.

A time when shooter games where simple and gave you all you hoped for.

Okay. I suck at completing games. I just don't ever manage it, I'll burn out or whatever. You could name a classic, and I've probably played the hell out of it, but haven't beaten it. Link to the Past? Childhood. Never rescued more than like 2 of the maidens in the dark world. Oblivion? Easily a couple thousand hours sunk in, creating countless save files, but Sean Bean remains in all of them. Pokemon, any gen? I'm not kidding.

So when I say that I've played this game deep into the dirt, it hopefully means something. My hours on steam are just a victory lap in my adulthood. I've done it all, and I've done it all without dying through every game mode, at least once. It feels like such a small game for today's standards, and there are obvious flaws, but the gameplay holds up very well despite that. I wish everyone could have experienced it back then, but it's absolutely still worth a go now.

Oh, and the reward pistol is the best weapon for mouse. By far. Engineer is the best all-around class until you start missions with the reward weapons. Then the best choice becomes the heavy trooper, surprisingly.

I've played this game for a long time on the original XBoX, and let me tell you, it still makes modern BF2 look like Bluey: The Video Game. Great game, great mechanics, great campaign, and fun characters. The biggest drawbacks in the game are the lack of pride and accomplishment, and the simple fact that we have lost a command post.

great game. and a much better copy than that "remake" Aspyr made.

Very good game even with it's age, even better with mods too.

love this game with a passion just as good as the day it came out.

I love star wars and to be in the shoos of the clone and stormtroopers and the main charectars of the films is a dreem come true

I've been playing this game since it first came out on ps2. I love that you aren't the hero, you're just a number in this game. It's one of those you can just jump in and have fun, and the conquest mode adds a strategy sandbox element to it.

It makes for a game that's lots of fun and certainly lives up to its reputation. It's also really great that the servers are up for online multiplayer matches even though I suck it's still fun.

This was and still is the best SWBF ever made. It is very old school. After 20 years of playing, I still love it.

Nostalgia, I still have a PS2 with multiple copies of this game. It has ups and downs compared to the new one. But this game has lasted much longer. No transactions, no annoying updates, theres just one thing you need to watch for and its those wrist rockets.

In the wake of James Earl Jones heartbreaking passing the start of this week, it got me back into continuing the campaign of Star Wars battlefront 2 this past Monday the other day. Little did i know that this finest hour level that i was up to after i save the game over a month ago from the previous level Yavin i played would be the final mission of this mode. And yet more i think it makes absolute sense, that was without question one of the toughest intense action pack repetitive levels ive ever experienced in any video game Ive played to this day. From a massive broad scale of the snowy environment to roam around, the ridiculous amount of enemies all to battle through all over the place, and leading my troopers from one command post to another as i try to keep a good portion of my guys to victory with the few weapon options to take strategic advantage of along the way. Despite the mild sweaty frustration i had attempting to beat this final mission 12 times, playing as Darth Vader was a glorious blast to experience with the sprinkle of combo attacks on some of the enemies in my path was a fine spanking good time after the little adversity i had to go through for 3 straight hours to eventually beat and complete the story on a firey strong note. All and all after playing through the rest of this mode for the last 6 months, I found Star Wars battlefront 2 to be a substantial incredible jam thrill shooting game adventure which still holds up like fine wine after almost two decades in terms from my appreciation for it since beginning my journey in 2018. I thought the presentation of the story established a fabulous oriented tone that expanded the lore between the prequels and original trilogy in a strange twisted unique way, the gameplay was a somewhat zany bouncy solid experience to play through between the troppers and main characters to utilize around, and the graphic while not the visually stunning in the original version still has a neat look to capture upon with the variety of maps i got see within of world of star wars i greatly know about that i still admire nonetheless. I absolutely recommend giving this game a purchase especially when in a time when ot goes on sale if yall haven't done so yet.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug, but this game is better

A true timeless classic. It may be my nostalgia talking but I really think it still holds up to this day. Galactic Conquest is an absolute treat of a game mode and scratches my strategy game itch. And the AI on Elite difficultly are a reasonable challenge. Simply put this game is worth the $10 without a doubt and will provide a good amount of satisfying star wars fun! One of the best star wars games of its time.

Definitely one of the best shooters of all time and by far the best in the arena team style old school online shooters. Doom, halo, and this are the goats of old school.

I am 8 playing with my star wars toys... I am 20 playing with this game and I am also 8 again... Now I am 40, and 20 and 8. FUCK... no wonder Disney is basically printing its own money at this point. They have weaponized my own misty eyed middle age against me... Still, X-Wing go pew and tie fighter go smash and dopamine happens.

it is a really fun game, and a classic star wars battlefront, and this is not bad for 2005

Star Wars Battlefront 2 at this point should need no introduction. One of the best Star Wars games of all time, one of the best 3rd person shooters of all time. Battlefront 2 is a game I’ve played on countless consoles (PlayStation 2, Xbox, Xbox One, PSP, Nintendo Switch, and of course Steam.) this is definitely the one you must own. Mods take this game from a 10/10 to a perfect 20/10 easy, and aren’t very difficult to install either. If you own one Star Wars game in your life, hell if you’re not even a Star Wars fan, make this the game to own! And all time classic that still holds up!!

Star Wars: Battlefront II is a sequel to the already great Star Wars: Battlefront game by Pandemic Studios.

Battlefront II is an improvement in every way to the first game - it looks better, has more planets, more game modes (my favourite being Galactic Conquest, where your goal is to capture every planet by earning a victory on every map), has a stronger campaign (which is faithful to the six films it's based upon).

The size of this port is unreasonable, and this game had a terrible launch, but the campaigns and instant action in this game are timeless. Brilliant fun

I'd say the best Star Wars game that has ever benn made (Ia haven´t played a lot of them), missions are fun though sometimes it can get really hard especially on the library checkpoint on Knightfall (especially in Elite difficulty). Also I´d say that this game is kinda like Skyrim, both are kinda basic and/or barebones without any mods, and if you download them, you can´t go back. It´s definetly a game that I recommend playing but first finish the Campaign and all outcomes on Galactic Conquest before installing any mods, even the simplest ones.

The multiplayer game unlike any other. Though the online servers are riddled with wall shooters

The best star wars battlefront game, spanning all the important star wars movies. Repeat, all the important, fun and great star war movies. And the campaign is challenging as hell and infinitely fun to play through.

Game is very fun and replayable

If you liked starwars then this one is great for you. Would spend time before school 30 min shooting battledroids on this one. Pre-Steam Pc game was still on a disc back then. Played on X-box also with multyplayer mos-eisly town hero battle that lets you use light vrs dark hero's in a death match. (i've shot a lota little yodas and vaders) Old pc and x-box broke so now i got game on Steam on a Thinkpad flat foldable computer. Liked the big (galactic) map where you can move your attack/defence fleets in between planets. Disliked a few buggs like the 'first level clone campaine quest bug on Geonossis', or the 'mosh-pit bug on Naboo'.

everyday after class i would come home fire up the old ps2 and play this masterclass of a game every now and then i log in play and remember the simpler times i remember playing this with my cousin and he never liked video games this game is the reason im a star wars fan now if your reading this and dont know if you should get i say do it

Classic Battlefront II is undoubtedly one of the greatest games set in the Star Wars universe. It offers a diverse experience, allowing you to play as a Jedi, stormtrooper, clone, or even a droid. The main story, told through the journal of the 501st Clone Brigade, takes you on a compelling and increasingly somber journey toward the inevitable fall of the Republic. Despite its age, the graphics still hold up well and remain easy on the eyes, making it a timeless classic for any Star Wars fan.

Just like the simulations. Really brings back the nostalgia of playing the game when it first came out. Not the best third person shooter out there, but definitely a solid game that’s still fun the play.
