Over at StarWars.com Alex Kane takes a look at the freshly updated Hero Starfighters mode on Star Wars Battlefront II which throws you head first into a galactic dogfight.
This week’s update introduced Hero Starfighters, a fun twist on the heroes-versus-villains formula that’s long been a staple of the series. Half the fun of Battlefront II, for me, has been in role-playing as my favorite iconic characters from the series — Han, Lando, Maul, Rey. In Hero Showdown, I’ll usually team up with a friend and choose my hero based on their relationship to whichever character my friend picks: Han and Lando, Luke and Rey, and so on.
With Hero Starfighters, players can now have that experience in outer space, taking control of familiar ships like the Millennium Falcon, Maul’s Scimitar, Slave I, and Yoda’s Jedi interceptor, regardless of chronology or location.
