The mission itself was also quite interesting and engaging, with a chain of objectives that leads to victory if all are achieved. On the other hand, the Scimitar is a sneaky fellow, that can go into stealth to get into that perfect position to strike.
They all play very differently in Star Wars Battlefront II, even more so because they all carry very different armament.įor instance, the Millenium Falcon can soak up a lot of damage, while the Slave I can drop a devastating seismic charge that will wreak on anyone close by, especially in environments that constrict maneuverability. The demo I played included the Millennium Falcon, Boba Fett’s Slave I, Darth Maul’s Scimitar and Poe Dameron’s Black One. “This is, at least from what I could see, a mode very much focused on player skills.”īy damaging and destroying enemy ships, you can earn battle points that can be spent into unlocking hero ships. Given the abundance of obstacles which break line of sight, and the agility of most ships, achieving a lock at the right angle isn’t always easy, and that’s exactly as it should be. The other two are powerful weapons like rockets or proton torpedoes. Normally the L1 control will be an utility feature, like the repair droid or electronic countermeasures. Now, if only I had a proper HOTAS under my hands, and not a DualShock 4, it would have been even better.Įach starfighter has three special features assigned to L1, R1 and L1+R1. This is, at least from what I could see, a mode very much focused on player skills. Yet, when you do, and turn that enemy fighter in a ball of flames and debris, it’s very rewarding. It’s not as difficult as in a real flight simulator, but it certainly takes some work to master. In any case, inverting the flight controls in the options easily solves she issue.Īnother satisfying element is that hitting nimble fighters controlled by human opponents is actually quite challenging. That’s very counter-intuitive for me, but I guess many will disagree. When you push on the stick, your ship will climb if you pull, it’ll dive. The only minor nag is that the default controls are set in the opposite way to how a real fighter is flown.
I did enjoy the fact that the starfighters felt like they had inertia when flying through space, so flying through obstacles presents the right amount of risk and reward.
Controls are intuitive and feel much better than those in the first Star Wars Battlefront by DICE, granting a nice balance between control and thrill.
