No final rating for some reason...

8.0 Presentation
Slick menus and the entire console experience shrunk to handheld form.
7.0 Graphics
Nice variety in terrain and units, but it lacks oomph.
8.0 Sound
Impressive score and sound effects. Sounds like Star Wars.
7.5 Gameplay
Just as complex and varied as the console version. Challenge modes add a nice mobile-friendly touch.
8.0 Lasting Appeal
Multiplayer modes will let fans of the game play for a good long while.


Battlefront II on PSP mirrors its console brethren in terms of complexity and scope but can’t keep up in performance. So while every vehicle, unit and weapon is at your disposal, you’ll need to contend with an unstable framerate and lackluster visuals while you take over the galaxy. Still, the game feels very polished in areas, especially the interface and quality of the soundtrack and sound effects. So even though it’s fun and definitely worthwhile, it just feels as though Battlefront II asks too much of the PSP.

I'll go nuts and say 8.0

Hm, I wonder if the performance would improve at 333mhz.

They've got a PSP trailer on IGN's site. Looks pretty damn good.

Hell yeah the TV like trailer looks great. Why no final rating though.

Godamnit IGN, their pages get smaller and smaller. That 5 page review can fit on 2.

I'd love to try it at 333mhz, but the game requires Firmware 2.0. I suspect, like GTA and The Hustle, it won't work with the various ISO players/rippers that allow you to set the system at 333mhz.

I agree with the review, thus far. Shame about no infrastructure mode. That would have put it over the top and made it a system seller for sure.
