STAR WARS™ Battlefront II (Classic, 2005)

Un clásico, muy buen juego, me transportó a mi niñez.

Amazing game, but the screen at the main menu isn't wide enough so i can play single player instant action other than that great game

I recommend this only because It's still better than the other games that want to nickel and dime you. Yes, this version was slapped together with (deliberate?) issues (to frustrate you into buying another product?). Those issues honestly aren't that bad though. I played a galactic conquest and the campaign, and the only really weird thing was that sometimes the AI will be completely idiotic (and that probably is just a holdover from the original edition, which I played for hundreds of hours). You'll also have to configure all of the controls (like the default to enter a vehicle is "enter," but the game UI tells you it's "E"). Thankfully, this is a game that does let you map every button and function. Being able to turn faster with the mouse does seem to break the AATs though (they almost fly off the ground when you turn fast, but the AATs were already too nerfed in BF II to want to use. Tanks were OP in BF I, but in BF II, even on normal mode every NPC is going to throw all of their grenades at you while you're just waiting for your weapons to cool down). The only really regrettable part of this port is monitor support. When you have multiple monitors, it's gonna pick which monitor it wants to run on, so you basically have to unplug the monitor you don't want to play on if you don't like the monitor it picks. It also isn't capable of ultrawide aspect ratios. Remember, kids. P1r8ing is bad.

I like this older game, so nostalgic, again you can mod it to upscale it to your monitor width as well, just takes some setting up

9/10 Only thing holding it back is the lower graphics, confusing ways to be able to use mods and a lot of the weapons and starfighters are pretty inaccurate to how they are in the lore (V-wing as the bomber but the ARC-170 as the standard fighter is the most notable example along with pretty lazy reload animations for blasters which idk if they even need to reload or not) SWBF2 isn't their to be 100% accurate nor the most pretty, it's their to be one of the most replayable Star Wars video game out their and it does that wonderfully well. The Classes are mostly balanced outside of the CIS and more importantly you can freely hop in and out of vehicles like in Halo which is a insane quality of life feature you don't get to see in a lot of videogames sadly. While multiplayer is a bit laggy the fact we even got multiplayer support after all the years is a HUGE W but otherwise I'd treat this mostly as a singleplayer game like Star Wars Empire at War. Even to someone who is not familiar with Star Wars outside of showing them the main 6 movies this is probably one of the best games you could introduce them into the genre outside of Republic Commando itself but unlike Republic Commando it has more replayability because of stuff like Galactic Conquest and multiplayer which Republic Commando lacks sadly. If your a Star Wars fan this game is a must whether your more into the Galactic Civil War period or the Clone Wars this game has it all, even for all you Old Republic fans the mods got you covered so long as you can put up with the bureaucracy of learning how the hell to install them.

love this old game

было очень мило уничтожать джедаев в храме за Императора, да и смешную нарезку детей никто не отменял)
