Battlefront basically is Battlefield with blasters and TIE fightes , though the gameplay is  alot more fun , it lacks the scale and polish of BF II  , not to mention bieng easy to exploit :p . 
   I'd say BF II will make it look like a joke on the PC , but it will sell good , and even better on the consoles .

lmao @ battlefield....

There needs to be more starwars games with light sabers! Its all cool to play a FPS in the starwars games, but the lightsabers being one of the most recognised things in the movies there should be more of it. Jedi acadmy was a prime example, that game would have been perfect, but it was just a bit too clunky and buggy, it could have been alot better.... And episode 3...its cool and all, but there is no freedom in it. Your hand is held as your led down the storyline path and are restriced too much. I mean, the force is what has me interested in star wars in the first place!


And Empre at war seems to be a really massive game...There was images of controling fleets in outerspace, and then a battle on ground using a light saber...That is going to be so bad! And I'm not all that excited about the Death star though....what was so special about it anyway?

 Empires at war looks nice,  i have a similar game called 'star wars rebellion' , much older but similar concept ,  but battlefront 2 looks just to be a sequal to milk a cash cow for all its worth .
