GameTech: May the force be with you in Battlefront II

“Witness the power of this fully operational battle station!” the Emperor cackled, as Luke Skywalker’s face fell in anguish. The Death Star was in perfect working order after all, ready to blow up Luke’s friends.

You can almost hear EA cackling in the background as Star Wars Battlefront II nears its launch. The first Battlefront was well received, but quickly gained a reputation for shipping with the bare minimum of features. Some called it unfinished. That’s not likely to be the case with the sequel, which comes fully loaded from the start. Witness the power of our fully operational video game!

This time around, Star Wars Battlefront doesn’t ship with a barebones multiplayer mode and future content locked behind downloadable carbonite. Not only does Battlefront II have a wide variety of multiplayer options from the get-go, it even has a single-player campaign.
