Hello
Gamers!
Today,
Battlefront II.
This was
absolutely my childhood pastime; it was battlefront every snow day, every
weekend, and every rainy summer day when my friends would come over to play
inside.
And I
hope you go pick it up (it's only like ten dollars on steam) and experience it
for yourself- if not for me, than for yourself.
After my
PS2 could no longer read video games, I moved on to the Wii, along with came
other games that I will also review in the future (such as the Lego Star Wars
series, various Mario games, and possibly others I can’t remember now) when I
get to it.
If there
was ever a game that you needed no previous background in gaming, and Star
Wars, I think this was it. You don’t even need to know any of the species, just
how to aim a blaster and throw grenades.
The game
does get a bit wonky in voiceovers- even on steam, when playing, in the middle
of a sentence the game sometimes repeats parts, and sometimes the audio is a
bit fuzzy, but the gameplay is the most solid I’ve ever seen in a game from
that era.
The game is also very inclusive about the timeline
of Star Wars, and what I mean is, it takes us from the beginning of the Clone
Wars, to the battle of battle of Yavin 4, to the construction of the second
Death Star. I really enjoy the story telling, the perspective of the 501st,
and what it was like for them. All too often we hear about the Jedis’ perspective
of the war, but never the Clones.
The game also has great bonus features for after you
beat the main story in their “Galactic Conquest”, where you can choose your preferred
time period, and team for that matter. You can choose to be CIS or Republic
during the Clone Wars, or you can fight the Empire as the Rebellion. Your objective,
like the name suggests, is to capture all enemy planets in the Galaxy, and to
destroy (or fend off invading) ships of the enemy’s fleet. Once you do this,
you’re done and can move onto other campaigns, or instant actions, or XY&Z.
The point is, you have so much freedom in this game,
which is why I picked it up on Steam once the idea came to me, and it is by far
the best ten dollars I’ve spent there.
See ya ‘round Gamers
