Manufacturer's Description
Star Wars Battlefront is back and bigger than ever on the PlayStation Portable (PSP). A third-person shooter, Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron is the deepest and most action-packed Star Wars Battlefront game ever. Experience battlefronts that span ground, space and capital starships, a robust original storyline and expanded gameplay features--including 16-player multiplayer support--that deliver seemingly endless replayability.

Story and Gameplay
The storyline of Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron concerns the two clone trooper brothers X2 and X1. Clones created using Jedi DNA, they were originally designed to aid in Order 66, the great Jedi purge set in motion by Chancellor Palpatine as a pretext to establishing the Empire. However, X2 chooses to foresake this path and instead joins the rebel alliance, standing opposed to his brother, X1, who remains aligned with the dark side and the plans of the revealed Darth Sidious.

Gameplay Levels and Features
Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron allows players to engage in combat on multiple levels where every action matters. On the ground players fight both on foot and utilising a variety of vehicles, units and weapons, while an assortment of Rebel and Imperial craft takes the fight into space, with brief cutscenes between levels creating a seamless experience. Whether on the ground or in the air, the players combat stats have direct consequences on the overall outcome of battles, making the outcome of each exchange crucial. The game also features multiple game modes and features, including the Heroes and Villains Mode, where you play as favourite characters from the Star Wars universe, and 16-player multiplayer support.

Customisation
Players will have at their disposal massive amounts of pick-up and play action for seemingly endless replay value. The PSP provides the deepest customisation options ever seen in a Star Wars Battlefront title, allowing players to personalise and build their character with more weapons and items than ever before, including the weapons characters carry into battle, the armor they wear on their backs, their species, gender, appearance and physical strengths. Players can also unlock hundreds of other items and bonuses to help even the odds.

Customer Reviews

The Force is Strong with this One
This is a welcome return for the battlefront series, this being the fourth game in the series. Like all the games so far, this one lets you relive the famous battles in the Star Wars saga, including Endor, Hoth and Mustafar. However haven't we done this all before you ask? Yes, however not only can you play on the planet surface, but also in Space and in Capital ships, all in one mission! There are un-entertaining cutscenes which allow you to do this and this somewhat gets repetitive, but you do have the feeling the battles in this game are on a huge scale. However this game does have the problem of a slightly dodgy camera and only 12 different planets to fight over. However saying this each battle you have will be fun, engaging and very different. Also there is a massive campaign, 6 modes of Galactic Conquest, Instant Action and of course the on-line multiplayer.
