Manufacturer's Description
Star Wars Battlefront II for PSP is similar to its recently announced console counterpart with space combat, playable Jedi, and Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith content, yet it still boasts several distinct features meant to embrace the on-the-go nature of a handheld system. The game includes several unique mini-campaigns as opposed to the much longer campaign seen on consoles. Players can join the Rebellion as a smuggler, work for themselves as a mercenary for hire, or use their Imperial sniping skills to rid the galaxy of pesky species like Jawas, Ewoks and Gungans. Wi-Fi compatibility permits up to four players to join in at once, either cooperatively or competitively, and they can also partake in classic Instant Action mode to fight their favourite Star Wars battles any way they want to.

Customer Reviews

Star wars fans dont be dismayed this game is ok
This is my first time at writing a review but its about quite a good game i brought this game by accident insted of the PS2 version but i later got a PSP, overall its a good game. There are a few things wrong with it though, the controls have 4 different modes defult,basic,advanced and retro on advanced and retro you can roll but on basic and defualt you cant this make using the controls difficult if youve got used to 1 set and want to be able to roll,also on the first game you have free acsses to wookies and jet troopers but on this one you dont you have to get points to get them why did the makers do that? , that aside though its a Amazing game the graphics are good and the missions were you can be a rouge assassin, impereal inforcer and rebel raider are really fun but the best thing is you get to be a jedi!! I hope i was of help to whoever reads this

Complete Waste Of TIme
Well i really thought this was going to be good by the amazing response to number 1 and 2 for the PS2 and Xbox but i have to admit this really does not work on a handheld

The graphics are good. At least i can say something good about the game but thats it, the rest is bad. First off the battles are scaled down considerably in this installment which causes frustaration if you have played the ones for the PSPs big brother. The control system is awful, with the only way of being able to kill someone is by using the pathetic locking on system and the levels are exactly the same as from the previous games.

It does also feature space battle but nothing like the scale and epicness from the game on the PS2. There are hardly no other ships to battle with, thus eliminating the use for the dodging system and battleing the big enemy ships is just a case of fly over, drop bombs or shoot with laser, then turn aroung and repeat. There is also no point flying into the ships interior as it does nothing to help the cause of the battle.

Pros

+ Good Graphics
(and thats it)

Cons

- Scaled down battles
- Awful control system
- Bad and repetitive space battles
- Rubbish game modes
- Boring after 5 minutes of gameplay

Dissapointing and very poor
Ive only just bought a psp and after reading the reviews for this game
on amazon, Most people put it in quite a positive light and make it seem
like one of the better games available for the psp.

Now firstly I must admit the psp has got to have the worst collection of
games for any handheld console, with only a few worth playing on an extended
basis.

And I have tried to give battlefront a chance by playing it on an off for
a few weeks now but it really is just not worth it.....WHY!! I hear you
exclaim.....well.

Firstly the control setup that you start off with it is stupidly laid out,
you really have no chance of playing it at all on the standard setup, but
even when you select one of the three other control setups its still almost
unplayable, but once you do get to grips with one control system you
realise that the only way to shoot an opponent in by hitting them once
and then waiting for the psp to lock on to them and keep them highlighted
now this is ok when you've got one opponent but when you're in a big battle
firing at the same person and not having a free it aim means you die pretty
quickly. But the controll issue is topped by the fact that to move your
character you use the analogue atick for forward and backwards and you
have to use another two buttons to turn left and right, and then another 2
to side step...ARGH!!.

Sadly to say the controls arent the only issue, the graphics are very shoddy
even for the psp, character models are very under detailed and backgrounds
have barely any textures meaning you just wonder through blurry grey and
green areas with hardly any discerning features.

Graphics and controlls aside the actual gameplay is pretty sound, depending
on what mode you play it pretty much plays like capture the flag with teams
conquering each outpost untill they controll the field.
Battles are quite frenetic meaning you constantly run around and cant stay
still too often because you will get fragged.

Thats pretty much where the good stuff ends, after a while the gameplay gets
very samey and you quickly get bored.
Now the space combat and ship to ship combat in space fights like most people
have mentioned dont really affect the battle and arent even remotely exciting, this is mainly because space is nigh on empty with only 6 or 7
ships dogfighting.

All in all I was very dissapointed with the game as a whole, usually
starwars games (recently i might add) are quite good but this one pretty
much seems to have been put together with litle or no thought for the actual
enjoyment factor it does serve to keep you occupied for a half hour at a time
but its mainly because it takes that long just to complete one slow paced
battle.

I wouldnt reccomend this for anyone who is looking for a god addition to
their psp game collection...get crisis core or GTA instead theyre how it
should be done when it comes to engaging and fun gameplay.
