2005 – LucasArts (PlayStation 2, Xbox, PC, PSP)<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m not sure if\u00a0Star Wars: Battlefront <\/em>was rushed before its release in 2004 to coincide\u00a0with the DVD release of the original trilogy, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case.\u00a0 While it was a fantastic game in the spirit of EA’s Battlefield <\/em>series, I couldn’t help but feel they left out a few little things that would have made the game much better.<\/p>\n

The campaign modes weren’t all that different than your typical online or multiplayer match, and only\u00a0showed short video clips from the movies to help move it along.\u00a0 There were cameos from main Star Wars<\/em> characters, such as Darth Vader or Mace Windu, but you couldn’t play as any of them.\u00a0 I still enjoyed it, and played it quite a bit, but couldn’t help but think “what if”…<\/p>\n

Of course, with the release of Revenge of the Sith <\/em>only a few months later, LucasArts figured they’d release a new Battlefront <\/em>game with new settings and characters from the new movie.\u00a0 It\u00a0came out\u00a0a few months after Episode III<\/em>\u00a0was released,\u00a0hitting shelves in October of ’05 – almost exactly one year\u00a0after the release of the first one.\u00a0 Not only were all the RotS <\/em>goodies incorporated this time around, but there was a ton of extra features thrown in for good measure.<\/p>\n
