 Dissapointing and very poor July 20, 2008
Shion 2 (Devon/UK)
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.
 Star wars fans dont be dismayed this game is ok January 5, 2008

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
 great game December 15, 2007

I really enjoyed this game because if you capture an area you get to become someone like Darth Vader or Luke. I think that even if you don't like Star Wars you should still buy this game because it is really good.
wow this game is great!!!!!!!! November 1, 2006

i personally belive that this game is one of the best games ever created. This is due to its exceptional gameplay and graphics. I know absoluteley nothing about star wars so I really don't give a damn about bloody Darth Vader (or whatever its called). Maybe thats why its so good. Its really just a waste of time and money if you actually like star wars. Its just really good fun trying to kill all the mad aliens. I would pay up to 189 for this masterpiece. Its just amazing. No other word for it, just amazing.I've had this game for 2 months now and completed a whole two levels. If I were you I'd buy this game. If I was to say that this game was rubbish I'd be lying. Because its ABSOLUTELEY FANTASTIC. No other word for it just ABSOLUTELEY FANTASTIC. Buy now or be square.
COME ON CHARLTON!!!

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
