Instead, several missions put you in direct control of some of the heroes available in multiplayer. Despite its darker choice of perspective (we haven’t seen much from the Imperial soldier point of view since 1994’s TIE Fighter), the plot moves forward in a fairly unimaginative fashion from there. At only about four hours long, it mostly follows the story of Imperial Special Forces commander Iden Versio - a fierce leader who still manages to express compassion from her position within the Empire - from the final moments of Return of the Jedi into the era of The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.
The music and sound effects deserve a special shout out as well, doing a lot of the work of sinking me into a world I’m already very familiar with.īattlefront 2’s campaign caters to that fandom as well, but ends up being a bit of a mess because of it. Lovingly recreated locations like Maz Kanata’s bar from The Force Awakens and the palace on Naboo from The Phantom Menace are wonderful to explore, even if you’re being shot at while it happens. Every blaster, TIE Fighter, and Battle Droid looks and sounds like it’s straight out of the movies, with the only notable exception being a couple of less than stellar voice impersonators used for heroes like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Kylo Ren. Much like the first game (or the third, if you’re counting the original Battlefront games from Pandemic), Battlefront 2 faithfully captures the look and feel of the Star Wars universe, with beautifully detailed levels, vehicles, and characters across some of its most recognizable venues.
