Even now in 2023, the PlayStation 2 remains a much-loved console, and Destructoid take a look back at the 10 most iconic classics from the PS2 era, including a Star Wars title in 4th position which is still beloved today – Star Wars Battlefront 2.
Star Wars: Battlefront II
Of all the Star Wars games that have been released over the past 40 or so years, few indeed have come close to matching the thrills of playing as any one of several class
ic legacy characters, on a vast number of iconic exotic locales. While its story campaign still holds up fairly well even by today’s standards, it’s the multiplayer experience that largely defines Battlefront II’s legacy.
The sequel introduced many new features, such as online multiplayer support for up to 32 concurrent players, an overhauled AI system for friendly and hostile bots, and more. Its popular “Heroes vs Villains” mode even allowed players the opportunity to put some of the galaxy’s most notable characters in team deathmatches against one another. It’s hard to say no to a Star Wars game that allows Boba Fett, Yoda, Darth Vader, and Mace Windu to brawl openly in a public street.
