Throughout the Clone Wars, our trooper is fighting alongside the Jedi, protecting Republic civilians from the threat of the separatist droid army. The 501st’s arc stretches from the very beginning of the Clone Wars and serves as a clever vehicle to illustrate the metamorphosis of the Grand Republic into the evil Galactic Empire. The narrative follows the campaigns of the 501st clone trooper legion, an elite legion of troopers whose exploits would go on to become legendary in the Star Wars universe, whos vets include Captain Rex, Echo and Fives. Battlefront 2’s single player campaign is narrated by a retired Imperial veteran, reminiscing over his tours of duty as an elite clone trooper during the glory days of the Republic. No Star Wars game before or since manages to project such a human story onto the otherwise impersonal sea of white-masked Imperial stormtroopers. And blow me down if Battlefront II doesn’t deliver on that. The story, and the way that story is presented to me. What I’m particularly driven by in my computer games is the narrative experience. The history is only a small part of what I like to look at. No brainer, LucasArts wanted more and gave Pandemic an incredibly short 12 months to come up with a sequel, Not only did they not make a totally shit game, but against all odds Battlefront 2 was a triumph and backs up my theory that 2005 was the greatest year in the history of computer games. Star Wars Battlefront was an instant success and became the biggest selling Star Wars game to date. Under the leadership of Jim Ward, LucasArts approached Pandemic to develop a big online shooter based on Star Wars. LucasArts were working with a lot more outside developers and they themselves were acting more like a publisher than a games developer. Back In 2004, Pandemic were an up and coming developer having just released a hit with Full Spectrum Warrior. We’ll follow the usual formula and start off with a little bit of history. But I want to do a proper full review on this game, so here’s my PC review of 2005’s Star Wars Battlefront 2. I’ve done a few short videos about Battlefront 2 (I’ll link them below) and I’ve mentioned it in a few Star Wars games lists over on the YouTube channel.
