Star Wars Battlefront 2

Although this is one of my favorite games of all time, when I finally got down to looking at it in detail, there are some semi-major flaws.

Presentation - 8: There are many choices of single-player, the story is commendable, and many options and modes provide the "Instant Action" with some variety and flair.

Graphics - 7: Although the game's visuals look very "Star Wars-y" and decent, they don't show off the capabilities of a graphics card required to play the game, nor of a modern PC.

Sound - 9.5: Everything's awesome - the explosions, the voice, the lasers, the iconic Star Wars music - it's all there.

Gameplay - 8: The heroes are kind of hard to control, but the space battles and ground battles are both thrilling, the action of the fight grabbing, and watching droids explode just can't be beaten when it comes to fun. Some of the issues from its predecessor haven't been fixed, but online play, although a crucial addition, is awesome.

Lasting Appeal - 8: You can play this game online forever, but the single player quickly wears out. Also, the same modes on the same maps are the only fun ones, so it's only a matter of time before you're bored of them all.

Overall - 8
