The incremental additions found in Battlefront II improve upon the overall formula, resulting in another quality Star Wars game.

These guys sure know what Star Wars fans want. In the first three single-player levels of Battlefront II, you get to exterminate Gungans, Jawas, and Ewoks. Smart. But guess what else you'll get to fight in those first few stages? The control scheme. The PSP just isn't made for shooters, and this is one of the most ambitious around. Ground troops, tanks, spaceships...big army-versus-army battles can make for a fun time, but not on a portable system with only one analog stick. You'll feel more Jar Jar than master Jedi when you're awkwardly looking around for that stormtrooper who's blasting you from five feet away. It gets worse in Wi-Fi multiplayer, when the action gets choppy as all hell....

Battlefront II seems like what the first Battlefront should have been to begin with. There's so much that's familiar and repurposed (like oh, say, THE BATTLE OF HOTH) that your copy of the first game has been rendered irrelevant. I do like that they've balanced the more overpowered vehicles in the ground missions so that it's not just a race to the X-wing or AT-ST, and the capital ship space battles remind me fondly of PC classic X-Wing Alliance (though they could have used a bit more variety in the battle setups and strategies). The best thing about Battlefront is how it's not overly complex: If you can see it, you can shoot it, capture it, or pilot it. Hooray for accessibility
