  • story
    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect has received significant criticism for its lack of a traditional campaign mode, leaving players feeling disconnected and the gameplay repetitive. While some missions are enjoyable and there are elements of narrative, many users express disappointment over the absence of a structured storyline, which detracts from the overall experience, especially given the high expectations associated with the Star Wars franchise. Despite the engaging graphics and multiplayer options, the absence of a compelling single-player story mode is a notable drawback for many players.

    • “There is a small, but interesting, story line behind the campaign.”
    • “Galactic conquest which has a giant map and you try to conquer each planet one by one before the CPU army does, and the well done campaign mode that details the story of the 501st squadron from the Clone Wars all the way to the end of The Empire Strikes Back.”
    • “I really missed the story campaign, which I loved in the originals.”
    • “The lack of a story mode makes me have less of a connection with the game than their previous franchise.”
    • “It's certainly lacking though, poor single player modes, no story or galactic conquest like the original games and no full scale offline battles against the computer.”
    • “Good game but not great; it could have had a campaign mode like a story mode, which let it down, but the rest of the game was great.”
  • gameplay
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some praising its smooth mechanics, engaging multiplayer experience, and impressive graphics and sound effects. However, many players find the gameplay monotonous and repetitive, particularly criticizing the frustrating mission restart system that can lead to exhaustion. Overall, while the game may appeal to die-hard fans for its visuals and atmosphere, it struggles to maintain long-term engagement.

    • “As far as gameplay and overall look, I can't fault it; the graphics are smooth, awesome in fact, and very realistic visual and sound effects.”
    • “The gameplay is excellent, graphics are top notch, it also uses the original Star Wars music, so that's a plus.”
    • “Design and gameplay is well thought out and generally enjoyable.”
    • “Gameplay becomes tiresome, and if you fail on mission 15 of 15 missions, you are forced to start at mission 1, which is exhausting after a couple of times.”
    • “If you’re a die-hard SW fan, this will likely end up in your collection just to visit some of the locations and have a quick play, but even after a few hours of gameplay, my wife and I were bored with it.”
    • “The graphics and colors are dated, and the gameplay is very repetitive.”
  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “I appreciate how well the game performs; there are no glitches or issues that disrupt gameplay.”

    • “Battlefront 2 is a good game, but I bought it used off Amazon, and one of the maps freezes whenever you try to play it.”
    • “Finally got it to be recognized by the Xbox, but glitches and freezes constantly.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is mixed; while some users find it has unlimited replay value, others express concerns due to the absence of a single-player campaign and the short duration of the VR segment, which limits its replay potential.

    • “Much of my concern regarding the replay value of this game would have been alleviated if a single-player campaign had been included.”
    • “The VR segment is very short, around 18 minutes, but feels like 3 and has short replay value. However, it is an awesome experience, and I'm glad I tried it.”
    • “This game has unlimited replay value.”

    • “As Star Wars Battlefront 2 is out now, it probably won't be long until the servers are turned off, and this game will only be useful as a coaster. Overall, it was very disappointing and feels like a cash grab rather than anything else, as it is pay-to-win.”
