If EA's take on Star Wars: Battlefront left you out in the cold, then believe it or not, there's another option out there for a modern Battlefront experience. Elite Squadron is not only a Battlefront game from the PSP's twilight years, but an attempt to salvage Free Radical's cancelled Battlefront III. Does Rebellion's attempt to save it pan out? Well...

I did like that one as Well just something kinda different
I grew up playing this game on the psp and I really enjoyed it, it's a shame no one gives it as much attention as it deserves
Agreed
Same here. My favorite alongside with classic BF2.
Yup
@@deaclavilis6760 same
Same x2 was the best non cannon jedi ever
still more content than star wars bf ea
Exactly.
There's so much on offer here, than either one of the DICE titles.
@@senakashiwazaki9822 BF2 2017 actually has more heroes and villains
"Customization"
Now bf2 is beautiful
@@YKplaysMC shut up
Basically Elite squadron and Renegade squadron are roughly identical to what SWBF3 would have been like. More customization, more people fighting, large battlefields, seamless space to ground/ground to space transition and other such stuff.
Jorrdi Jabob Actually BF3 had character classes, you can see this in the leaked gameplay, trailers, and the DS version.
Jorrdi Jabob All while dropping a dump on the toilet!
I loved the whole thing
I loved the whole thing
That's because Elite Squadron WAS Battlefront 3. It was meant to be the cut down PSP version of Battlefront 3 alongside a cancelled PS2 version. This becomes even more clear because beta versions of the game are identical to the final product other than the title being Battlefront 3. There are some videos of beta versions of Elite Squadron on You Tube
Personally I would rather play this than the new one
Now bf2 is beautiful
@@genesius624 It is beautiful, but there are so many other things wrong with it. Not even the visuals can salvage the damage.
Yeah, same here. I'm about to get the mega bundle of starwars for ps vita
Ah well. I still loved it to death.
CapColdblood how would you compare it to the original Battlefront 2?
saaame
Same
@@christophergrant3596 it would surpass it if its galactic conquest was the same scale as battlefront 2.
so, this is the star Wars Battlefront III in a nutshell
About as much as one can experience without an Xbox 360 dev kit and a copy of the Pre-Alpha leak.
Piero Joestar Basically swbf3 with whatever was done to swbf2 to make renegade squadron done to it. Basically swbf3 with worse graphics and controls.
Man they should remake this game on the new consoles...
Yes the only department this game is lacking was graphics.
YES
You want some graphic? Just watch a movie
No. This wasn't salvaged. It IS Battlefront 3. It's even listed inside the game's files as "PSP_BF3". Accoridng to one of the developers what's in the game IS what was was planned and all they did was change the name.
It's about as close to Free Radical's SWBF3 as you'll get.
Ultra Instinct Goku Black to think that we were this close to a full console release of bf3
The BF3 legacy mod is much closer
Its listed as such because its the 3rd battlefront on the psp
Actually they took content of bf3 and remade it but the graphics were worse and it was stripped for content you can find original bf3 ps3 gameplay
@@daveyognaut6132 It was the second though
Now that I see the concepts of having 3 different battles happening simultaneously, it begs the question why the new one didn't have a game mode like this. Sure, Walker Assault is fun. But the idea of having a ground battle, space battle, and ship invasion all going on at once that could have influenced each other would have been AMAZING! Also, the idea that you could switch between the 3 would have been awesome and really a fun concept.
+BoltSpeedGamer This was the response of many fans who'd been following the various leaks of info on Free Radical's Battlefront III. What makes it hurt even worse is that according to former developers on the project, the tech they came up with for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 was revolutionary in how it pulled off a full simultaneous battle without loading screens.
At best, I think they may be trying to emulate Lucas Arts' own plan to try and reboot Battlefront. Lucas Arts was going to release Star Wars: First Assault as an XBLA/PSN/Steam budget title to gauge audience interest in their new direction, and then follow it up with their own take on Battlefront. This was all cancelled when Disney acquired Lucas Film and its subsidiaries.
If that's the case, then maybe the next Battlefront will actually be worth it, and DICE will iterate based on the general feedback they've received. Unfortunately, it seems more likely that they genuinely thought something like this would be too complex for their audience. I really hope it's the former and not the latter.
+Unabridged Gamer i cant vind THE game on vita how do i get this game
Menno De Beer
It won't just appear for you on PS Vita. You have to visit the PlayStation Store on either your PS3 or in your browser. Then you have the choice of either getting just Elite Squadron or the Star Wars PSP Bundle. Elite Squadron is normally $20 but I waited for a sale on PSN and was able to snag it for $8.
If you can afford the $40 price, the SW PSP Mega Bundle is probably your best option, as it includes The Force Unleashed (which has a bunch of exclusive PSP content), Elite Squadron, Renegade Squadron, Battlefront 2, Republic Heroes, and LEGO Star Wars III. Although, keep in mind that Renegade has trouble running on the Vita.
Once you've bought your digital copy of the game, you need to download it to your PS3 (or I guess if you lack a PS3, you'd be using Sony Media Go), and then connect your system to your Vita while your Vita is in Storage Manager. You can finally choose to copy over Elite Squadron here, and then it will start downloading. Once it's finished, you should be good to go!
I know it's a convoluted system, but at the very least, Sony does have a new bonuses included for once you have a PSP title on your system. You can rebind prompts to your right analog stick and/or the system's touch controls, and unlike PS Vita titles, you'll retain your PSP saves on your memory card, even if you delete the title thereafter.
Finally, if you don't mind doing the extra leg work, the PPSSPP emulator does play the Elite Squadron demo, if you'd like to try that first before dropping on money on the game. The demo isn't playable via PS Vita for some reason, but it can be tested at least via the emulator.
If you have any further questions, just let me know! I hope you enjoy your time with the game.
Can you tell me if theres a site that I can get a working version of this game? I've been looking but no luck yet, really want to get it on my psp.
How can you get this game onto the psp? I only have psp so I gotta figure out how to download it, so I don't waste my money on it.
5.2 is way to low. you can't just expect a whole last gen game on a psp. if you gave battlefront EA a better rating then something is seriously wrong
+Dylan Gouldthorpe To clarify - 5 is “Average” on my review scale (I've got a video explaining the review scale coming up soon), so I'd say I'm actually giving fairly decent marks for an obscure PSP game. I also strongly praised the game for its ambitious elements. It's just that I'm equally realistic about how Elite Squadron is undercut by no longer having multiplayer and it's repetitious nature (among other problems).
It's not that Elite Squadron is a bad game, and I'm not saying that people shouldn't try it if they're interested; but it does have notable problems, and those have to be acknowledged. If anything, I'd be more upset with myself if I had padded the review score for Elite Squadron simply because EA's Battlefront got a 5.5 out of 10. Then I'd be putting personal bias before the score I felt Elite Squadron was owed.
Also, consider this: EA's Battlefront, at LAUNCH, only got a 5.5 out of 10 from me. That means, at the game's height of hype and interest, it could barely score better than a last-gen PSP game. That's not a knock against Elite Squadron, but it's a pretty big knock against EA's Battlefront.
Finally, like I said in the EA Battlefront video, multiplayer games are fluid beasts and the review was a snapshot of the game at a specific point in time. It was a review of the game in 2015, with none of the updates or DLC included. It's a time capsule, which has unfortunately aged considerably since the game's first major DLC expansion is on the way. This is why I traditionally prefer to review games well AFTER their DLC is released -- especially multiplayer games. Then you can truly see how lasting an appeal each game has to offer.
Thanks for the comment, and I hope that cleared things up!
+Unabridged Gamer this game is bad, yes I said it
They also could have made the Melee combat better, and actually have the Melee Weapons appearance match what you see in continuity. Force Pikes are a lot longer then that, and Electrostaffs are the size of a double-bladed saber.
In the Battlefront 2 PSP game, saber combat is flashy, and eaxh character has different attacks when movie and when standing still. It doesn't even look realistic, it looks stupid, when an opponent is behind you, you nonchalantly wave your Melee weapon or lightsaber behind your back to strike them.
The AI is too easy to kill in Heroes vs Villains mode, especially with a saber.
However, I'd rather have a bad story then no story, and, while I miss a lot of the leaked cutscenes that could have been in here, it tells the story decently, and the character cameos are kinda cool.
Aside from that, the game feels packed with content.
Just as well, the space battles and gunplay feel pretty good, though the auto-aim is off at times.
I like how there are multiple ways to win battles, you could win by taking over command posts, shooting out the enemy ship, meaning no more mass reinforcements.
I don't think this game is bad, hell, its certainly better then the new battlefront.
Darskul to me the only good thing about elite squadron is the campaign, despite it having a lot of content it became boring so quickly.
the concept is great but the execution is poor.
azzzanadra come on it at least it looked like they put a effort into the game and not like a certain company cough cough EA & DICE who spent all there money on graphics. The ground to space changed everything which was enjoyable and I liked how you could actually destroy the ship and escape using a escape pod and I didn't mind the custimation but I would prefer if they had default looks like they had in the battlefront 1 & 2. But for what they did on that console I thought it was really good the only thing I wished they changed was the lightsaber combat and have all the ships assessable cause we got to play in the ARC-170 but you can in certain missions and we saw Y wings, TIE intercepters, bombers and defenders but I loved the unique hero ships and both the capital ship and frigates available so you could do what they did with renegade squadron on that one map with that space station thing where you could get unique fighters. And I would change the galatic conquest a bit so it could be more like battlefront 2
Still play it to this date. As a reminder from when I was a kid.
I love this game! Its one of the few games i got 100% completion on.
You sure are expecting a lot from a psp game that came out in 2009 😂
Hello IrishRaider5590, thanks for the comment!
To clarify, I gave it a 5.2 out of 10, which on my ratings scale of 5 as average, is just a slight bit above average. It's not that I didn't find some pleasure in playing the game, I even played around with it a few times since this review. That doesn't mean I'm going to ignore its flaws, in fact, if I did, then I'd be doing you a disservice and not be giving an honest review.
Also, just because it's a PSP game from 2009 does not mean it should be coddled. There are some amazing games on hardware older than the PSP (such as Super Metroid and DOOM), and also games far worse on modern systems (such as the THIEF reboot or Knack). The system and age have an impact on some factors, such as hardware capability and controls, but it's up to game developers to work past those confines and produce a great product regardless of the platform.
For example -- Conduit 2 is just a fun shooter, regardless of the fact it is on the Wii or not. Being on the Wii gives it some unique quirks and limitations, but it lives and dies by its game design more than its platform. This is the same case with Elite Squadron, which lacks the breadth of content and polish that could have made it a hit game. However, with its numerous faults, and it's normal price tag of $20 on PSN, it's hard for me to recommend, even as someone who was hoping I'd really enjoy it.
+Unabridged Gamer true but as a kid I loved this game so much I would play it all day long 😂 I still have it I just don't play it
IrishRairder5590 i would but my psp broke a few years ago

Gamer 89 how would you compare it to the original Battlefront 2?
It was awesome
Both were on the PSP. Battlefront 2 didn't have controls that were tuned to fit the PSP easily, but at least it was a completed game. Elite Squadron was, at the very least, only half of a full game.
Eh, still looks better than EA/DICE's attempt at rebooting the franchise. It certainly appears to have more content at a fraction of the cost.
XD
I played the HELL out of this game as a kid. I probably have hundreds of hours logged. This game was my childhood and it still stands as my favorite battlefront.
Wtf are you talking about m8. I played the much, much more watered down version of Elite Squadron on the Nintendo DS and I still loved it. The campaign was amazing, and it was worth playing just for the epic Star Wars story.
Hello Karl, thanks for the comment!
To clarify I reviewed the PSP version of Elite Squadron, not the DS version, specifically for the criticisms you yourself pointed out -- it was watered down and by all accounts an inferior game. Therefore my review does not reflect the DS version of the game, so I'm afraid regardless of your feelings on the DS version, it's a completely different game and doesn't have much bearing on this. I realize they have the same name but they are virtually unrecognizable when placed alongside each other.
Now, I have a question for both you and "I couldnt think of a name". What, in any way, was epic, lengthy, charming, and or highly "Star Wars" about the campaign to Elite Squadron? Take a moment and really think hard about it.
I ask this, because, we are talking about a story where you play a voiceless protagonist who gets micromanaged by various iconic characters, which culminates in a final duel fueled by an underdeveloped rip-off of the relationship between Obi-wan and Anakin in Revenge of the Sith. It's all incredibly derivative of other Star Wars stories, and even if you look at the original FULL story for the cancelled game that's been posted online, it's not great. Very few of the characters develop or have unique personalities, and cliches abound. Much like Free Radical's storyline in Haze, it's pretty clear the story writers weren't sure how to offer something new or interesting. It's a damn shame considering the studio's pedigree in the past, but it is what it is.
Things are even worse on the PSP. General Kota and that bounty hunter woman literally appear out of thin air because they are never given a moment to be established in the plot. What connective tissue there was before in the Free Radical version has been completely eliminated in favor of getting the game out on time. This is not an incarnation of the story made with love, this is a campaign mode made to meet a deadline. Coruscant literally ends mid-mission without a proper conclusion. If you enjoyed it, then great! That means that at least on some level, Rebellion did their job properly when salvaging Battlefront III. I am in no way saying you can't enjoy the game, nor is my review preventing you from doing so. However, just because you enjoyed it doesn't mean it lacks problems or that everyone is going to like it.
I hope that clears things up. Cheers!
+Unabridged Gamer The PSP version from what I can see here is much, much better than the DS version. Still I liked it because I loved the campaign. Maybe you didn't like it, but this was the first Battlefront game I ever played and I loved it before I even knew Battlefront was a big franchise. The campaign felt like a full Star Wars story, even better than the awesome campaign in Battlefront 2. I'm sorry if you didn't like it, but I got a little ticked off when you crapped on something beloved from my childhood
Unabridged Gamer Maybe in the campaign on PSP they cut some corners because they hadn't animated that part yet. But see in the DS they only used pictures and text boxes, so while it sounds worse at first, it actually looks and feels better (then crappy animation). Plus this way they can include the full story without having to cut. From what I remember, X1 and X2 were being personally awarded by Chancellor Palpatine himself for their valor on Tatooine when General Grievous invades Coruscant. From then on your mission is to track down Grievious and you eventually fight him near the trains, but he escapes. You then have to get in an ARC-170 and try to clear a path so that Anakin and Obi-Wan can make it to the Invisible Hand. I don't remember how the bounty hunter/love interest first joins, but I don't think I had a problem with it. I thought Falon Grey was a noble hero.
Karl Hiramanek How the hell can you guys like this!? THE lock on was slow. There was no crouch position. The camera didn't go over the shoulder when aiming.
These are the little things they left out that make battlefront an amazing game.
You have to be below 13 to think this game was enjoyable.
I loved Elite Squadron, but the story? The story was just terrible... The gameplay of the campaign was a lot of fun, but the story- well, I guess now that tFA is out, anything seems good in comparison.
I LOVED THIS GAME SO MUCH!! played it for years! the nostalgia :(
I loved this game when it came out, I was maybe 9-10? It swas so much fun. I still have my original PSP that I played it on though I lost my game. I ordered a new copy for $15 though and it's coming in very soon! Very happy to experience this nostalgic game again omg
Holy, I didn't even know this used story beats from Battlefront 3! That cutscene!!
Not just story beats, it IS SWBF3. It was the PSP version they had planned to release, they even admitted they just put a different name on it but everything else IS Battlefront 3.
Webshooters1 Oh wow, thanks!!
I like how critically you took in all aspects of this game. Great review
I wouldn't listen to this as the story is pretty good. I would give it a 7/10 at least.
Out of curiosity, could you give some examples about what parts of the story you found good?
Unabridged Gamer
*is one of those people who doesn't back up their claims*
I'd say the story is much more fleshed out in the ds version and is closer to what battlefront 3's story was going to be.
One of the best star wars games ever made: really fun modes, extremely well balanced maps, weapons, heroes etc. and almost zero glitches oh and ground to space.
I bought this as a 11 year old and was sooooo disappointed. I hated the auto lock shooting. I really want to like this game too. What part of the game made ur best memories
@@professorpick The auto lock was unique and one of the big reasons this and renegade was so fun when fighting other players you would get into sweaty cqb roll fights trying to prevent each other from locking on. There is nothing else like it as far as I know and the battles you would get into with the mechanic was def one of the best memories about the games along with me destroying the enemy capital ship almost every single game in conquest.
This is the swbf3 that we never get😭😭😭
In terms of scope, Dice's game is a microscope and elite squadron and battlefront 3 were like the Hubble
DICE certainly aimed for a smaller scale for the battle, but even in that regard, that in of itself isn't a bad idea if done right. Killzone: Mercenary is 4 vs 4 multiplayer in each of its modes, yet feels just as intense as the biggest matches in Killzone 3, for instance. I do have a theory as to why the new Battlefront panned out the way it did, but that's a subject for a future video!
Thanks for the comment, hope you enjoyed the video!
Conquest mode, both in Instant Action and Galactic Conquest, felt the same in every single freaking map. Start a game, capture the Ion Cannon, shoot the capital ship, then capture the rest. Rinse and repeat. This was a huge step down from Renegade Squadron, in which all of the maps actually had a unique factor to them.
The game really makes me wish even more that Battlefront 3 wasn't cancelled, especially considering the huge potential it had on better hardware.
I still call this game "Battlefront 3" because Rebellion and nSpace at least had the courtesy to salvage the remains, but this game only ever scrapes the surface of what would make a good Star Wars game.
Very much my sentiments on the matter, but if nothing else, the Battlefront 3 pre-alpha is now fairly playable in Xenia, so in time, who knows what the community might achieve.
You got to remember this game was out before Black ops this game was out before smartphones were popular this game was actually very cool and bleeding edge technology for online gameplay of a handheld device when it came out and yeah they have bots to fill in empty character spots when this game first came out there was never any empty spots everybody was playing it this game would still be fun to play of the servers were still up this game is 10 years old now
It’s a shame how this is the closest we’re probably ever going to get to Free Radical’s Battlefront 3.
Yeah, and this wasn’t even that good 😕. It’s so sad to think that out there, on some hardrive, bf3 is near finished and playable.
Glad the dude referenced that this is technically Battlefront 3. It's really fun on the Vita especially with both joysticks.
Yeah, it bothers me when people insist "NO, this isn't Battlefront 3" when you can literally look up Battlefront 3's leaked campaign on this very same website and see that it's the very same campaign, just with larger levels and more cutscenes.
that one scene looks hilarious, han solo in storm strooper armor and fighting with a gaffi stick
Elite Squadron is easily it the to 3 of best PSP games, and no question its best shooter.
I have been looking for this game for about a decade since i have first played it ! Its schere size is incredible and i enjoyed every second of it. The mere Nostaligia of this game nearly made me cry !!!
I'm glad to have reintroduced you then.
FWIW - sheer*, and you don't have to capitalize nostalgia.
Wow, I didn't even know this existed, thanks for the review m8!
No problem man, happy to help! Also, if you like obscure titles, be sure to keep an eye out! I've got some more oddball Wii, 360, and PS3 titles scheduled for later this year!
This was a classic game in my opinion. I hope ideas are taken from this to improve the next battlefront game.
I remember this game when I had my psp. I loved it. Back in the day.
"PS Vuytah" - Unabridged Gamer 2016
Nice review. But something I just want to clarify: the controls.
In the options menu they can be set to "alternate" which essentially gives you the control scheme of the original psp's BF2.
(X triangle circle square controls manual aiming and the d-pad and triggers controls the weapon functions)
My child hood in a nut shell.
This was the closest we got to the real BF3. It had the story and maps, but it was stripped down.
Even as a kid playing this I was impressed with how ambitious it was on a damn psp
I bought this at a retro game store and it ended up not working, so I had to take it back. 😢 This looks so cool!
Did u still get the game?
Yeah I ended up just getting a PSP emulator and finding a copy on the internet
@@joshgreene1425 Nice is it good on emulator?, i mean i just installed battlefront 2 on phone thats why i get here.And wanna know if this game is good too🙂
@@makityson7288 Depends on the phone but it worked well with me
@@makityson7288 if your phone can run battlefront 2 then I think you should be good with this
And remember kids, this is the Official Battlefront 3 which was unfinished and then released on PSP and changed
Actually, I've done a fair bit of research since posting this video and not only were several missions drastically changed, but only some of the maps are close to 1:1 with the main console versions. Vjun was never meant to be a map and that's why it's not present in the DS version or any of the leaked builds for Battlefront 3. Dantooine is also drastically scaled back.
The DS version has the most complete rendition of the story, but it's still missing a few bits and pieces, and obviously is otherwise a completely different game.
Elite Squadron is Rebellion's hasty attempts to put together what assets were lying around and what resources were still available. Which is why characters give exposition dumps mid-battle, as they didn't have many finished cutscenes to work off of.
@@UnabridgedGamer okay, that's understandable
my whole childhood is in this game and I would pay good money to play it again
I loved this game as a kid. I wish more people talked about it.
Star Wars Battlefront for PSP/Vita may be 10/10 if you get all 3 games.
This is still better then Star Wars battlefront 2 on PS4 and Xbox one
While I'm inclined to agree (besides on the matter of space combat) - than* is for comparison. Then is for time. For example: "Better to show up late then, rather than showing up early now."
It is still better THAN your grasp of the English grammar.
This one was so good. Great story. I remember being so surprised when Obiwan was old Ben on assault. Makes me miss the psp.
Your right on galactic conquest's problems, but the same can be said with battlefront 2's as well.
I agree. The only time someone came close to fixing the problems was the Dark Times 2 mod's player-driven, Galactic Conquest-based campaign mode.
I wish it was for consoles. Being a mobile hurt this games popularity.
Something we can all agree on. Sadly, a lot of solid games got released to niche platforms between 2009 to 2013. Thankfully, ports to different platforms seems to be all the rage right now, so here's hoping it stays that way.
I will give 5 Star Who remake it
What I like about this game besides the ground to space combat is how they added IG-88 in the game
IG-freaking-88
The droid got some love and got put in to a Battlefront game
F in the chat for us poor boys who had to play the DS version
The DS version is substantially better though?
@@UnabridgedGamer and that’s where you’re wrong
IN my opinion I wouldn't mind playing the campaign over and over to unlock every weapon. Best game I've played ever. Love the nostalgia.
Enjoy it to your hearts content, I won't tell you otherwise - but you might want to play some more games, mate.
to this day, Elite Squadron is still the best Battlefront game of all time. it has everything you could ever want in a Battlefront game: space/ground in the same battlefield, good single player campaign (imo), classic game modes like Heroes and Villains, and Galactic Conquest
It... has the least modes of any entry? Ground to space has been achieved via mods for OG BFII?
Also, if you like it so much, WHY seek out a review of a game you already own???
@@UnabridgedGameridk maybe OP wanted a nostalgia trip
Thanks for telling me everything I need to know about this game. I will NOT be playing it, my curiosity is satisfied.
You actually said PS Vaita.
I guess you must say "Veetamin"?
Since i am not looking for a challenging masterpiece but for an interesting mobile game with a familiar theme this will be a fine addition to my collection.
I wasn't looking for a masterpiece either, but variety is something I typically try to look for in a game to make it interesting.
If they were to up the frame rate and port it to the switch (y’know, since it was developed for a portable platform), I would be all over this.
Still better than ea’s game
Man this still is my fav battle front i dont care wut u say i loved this game so much it still is my favorite game to this day
Now just imagine EA putting this version of multiplayer to battlefront 2
I loved this game
Honestly really loved the game, mainly because you could run around as a clone and beat the crap out of the Sith with a stick or pike, also had a glitch where a droid was crip walking at me with a lightsaber... good times...
Nostalgia omg the multiplayer ;(
I played this game on the ds... and it explains the story much better. X2, and X1 the jedi order never knew they were clones.
kota, and fallen grey agreed to the kaminawans request to keep kamino a secret after saving grey.
After order 66 X1 would remain loyal to the empire, while X2 wouldn't.
I loved this game when I had it I had all the unlockables and lot of fun too really miss it
Im so sad i played this game as a kid. I didnt know english, so i didnt even played with bots. Oh fam i eould love to play multiplayer now
A lot of people don’t realize that this is Star Wars battlefront 3
This is -kind of- Battlefront 3, if you look at it funny and squint. The way the modes worked and everything flowed was actually fairly different. I did a whole video on the pre-alpha build a few weeks ago with all the details.
does anoyne know how to unlock the wookie bowcaster, jet pack, and wrist rockets?
I just played it.what a great game! challegining Ai, I rather liked the story, frantic battles with large environments, space combat!
YEAH DUDE ME TOO
I remember plaything this on my homies psp when I was a kid right around the time BF3 was officially cancelled. I remember thinking that Elite squadron was basically BF3 if I remember right it had basically everything you could want in a sequel to 2 custom characters and classes I believe. And if I remember right that game has ground to space combat. I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure. Also I vaguely remember the hanger bays being on the bottom of the Star destroyers which is just peak.
...I can't honestly tell from this comment if you watched the video or not?
Wtf this game is awsome THIS was my standard as a Star Wars Battelfront game. The gameplay was amaexing you could start at one planet captrue some points go to the space with a ship get in a destroyer ship, activate the auto-destruction. Wtf it had everything it was a real dinamic battle. Like Battlefield games but with more objectives. The combat was awesome at the same time you were captruing some base in land your allies were capturing the enemy ship, or maybe your friends prefered to maintain the sky of the planet or the space clear of enemy ships and only played as pilots, but with the option to land they ship and start fighting as a normal soldier. It was my first multiplayer game and no other game give me the same sensation.
The actual Battlefronts have 2 sides well divided: or you are playing in ground or you are playing in the "sky". But you can't go from sky to ground with same "life" (i mean landing the ship and to the ground battle).
We need this game with better graphics and better controls for PC, the Battlefronts EA is releasing this days are an insult to this game. We don't care that much in "GRAPHICS" we want a gme with good mechanics and good gameplay for GOD sake!!!
Marius - I understand being frustrated by how EA handled things, but I think you just highlighted the main point of contention here: this is a nostalgic game for you. It's fine that you enjoyed it, I certainly walked in hoping I would.
That said, some of the features you specifically point out, like the multiplayer? That's not accessible anymore unless you can actually gather multiple people with the game and the handhelds to play it. In fact, I specifically cite in my review that it's a shame the AI -doesn't- explore the options presented to players. Like, I would've loved to try and play as a support role or sniper, but the AI actively discourages this by primarily engaging in close-quarters shootouts.
I know things aren't ideal for Star Wars fans right now, but there -are- alternatives. Galaxy in Turmoil aims to capture Battlefront's gameplay as a F2P title on Steam. The original Battlefront 2 on PC has mods that greatly enhance its gameplay and allow you to experience this sort of action on vastly superior hardware. Battlefield 1 and V both, ironically, are aiming much harder to capture the Battlefront experience than DICE LA's Battlefront. It's not all doom and gloom mate.
As soon as I heard that you can play as General Kota from the Force Unleashed, I was like: “Shut up and take my money.”
PS VAITAW
This game was really fun. If only we could convert it to pc... The mods would be crazier than SWBF2
The good old days
I personally really liked this game when I was a kid
I just started playing this game for the first time on my ps vita recently, and honestly, the story and the gameplay aren't really that good it would be better if i had better control over the camera
I did grow up playing this game on the Nintendo Ds, and I loved it on the ds. The story is so much better and coherent on the ds, and the gameplay is better as well
Indeed, which is why I've done a separate video on the DS version - link in the pinned comment!
Man the memories
Should I buy this for my PS Vita or EA battlefront's Death Star dlc
Dylan 24 don't buy Death Star get this or bespin
Dylan 24 Get this it is way better than this reviewer makes it out to be.
they should have honestly had more cutscenes THAT WERE FINISHED And honestly X2 is a good character THAT'S IS only because of battlefront 3's cutscenes where he actually speaks
I've seen the deleted scenes from BF3. I do think that cutting them underserved the plot IMMENSELY, but there's... a lot of problems. Fallon Grey is cool, and could've been something special - sort of like a nice mixture of Luke and Obi-wan - but X2... I think he'd need a bit more tweaking.
12/10 at my point of view
from* my point of view
And I don' think that's how the math works?
You really shouldnt bitch as much about this game. It was awesome overall, and had features that made it 200 times better than EA's copypaste shit from Battlefield. The campaign even with all the limitations and story problems was fun, galactic conquest really made the game interesting, and the game had so much to offer for the little PSP handheld. Even now it looks enjoyable to me just by the gameplay, and I cant say the same about EA Battleshit 2
...I scored it higher than Battlefront 2(017), and gave it "slightly above average"? I'm not sure what "bitching" you're referring to, mate.
i like how this game ties other EU games together
Indeed, that was the aim of Lucas Art with a lot of their projects of this era. It's a pity they had such money troubles, as I imagine if they hadn't, they could have unified a lot of the EU, perhaps enough to stave off Disney wiping the entire slate clean.
It 's battle front 4 regardless of what any one say
Tbh if you get rid of the jedi clone story and keep the 501st story going id be a banger. Still ignoring that its a dope ass game.
They already told the 501st story, though?
It was also on the DS
RandomAxible but the ds version wasnt as good as psp version because you could ONLY play the campaign .
I think it's fair for a rating. Seems rushed, and that's all Lucas arts games, Very good well thought out games with 1 year to make it
In over four years, you might be the first person to actually say that. If I could, I'd give you a special badge of "SOMEBODY GETS IT!"
@@UnabridgedGamer Hell, Most Lucas Arts games are like this. Any Developer Lucas Arts worked with rushed them to finish. And you're also pandering to a lot of Gen Z and millennials with this game in particular, they dont much understand opinions, no one these days understands those.
Imo the only bad thing is the controls and the fact that most of the gameplay is locking on and the annoyance of enemies rolling and going behind walls unlocks the enemies but other then that it's good
Any one else notice how he said amazing at 1 minute in
Yeah, sadly this video's from over a year back, and my audio editing was... not up to snuff.
Haha it's cool. I'm just surprised I caught that lol
And all that for fucking PSP? Its like those guys hated money.
I know this video is like 3 years old but, you have to take into account the game came out in 2009 on psp. The fact the thing could even render massive battlegrounds like that was amazing alone. 5.2? You acted as if this was a console release.
It's been a long month, so I'm going to put this shortly. Forgive if I sound a bit tired, I've had to reply to almost this exact comment maybe twenty times:
1 .- 5 is AVERAGE on my scoring scale. I don't know if I have to staple it to my face or something, but that's how it's always been. So if you're used to Game Informer or something, just mentally add two points. Okay? Okay.

when you wanna play this game but your psp broke and you can't find a good replacement that's at a affordable price.
The digital version runs on PS Vita and PS TV, so if it's more financially feasible to make the upgrade, I highly advise it. Runs great on my Vita.
Unabridged Gamer what about battlefront 2 on the ps vita?
Also no it's only up to 6 players in local ad hoc
I don’t care what you say I still loved this game
Okay, that's fair, but... why did you look up a review for it, then?
I remember this for the ds
You trippin dawg this game was my favorite as a kid
I wasn't reviewing it for you as a kid, I was critiquing it as someone would experience it today. Your memories are yours - I'm glad you got something out of it. That doesn't mean things don't age or have flaws.
Well done review I always enjoyed the game somewhat, but it was not up to it's full potential so I agree with your review.
Although have you heard of the indie remake that the development studio Frontwire studios is working on. Here is a link to there site if you have not frontwirestudios.com/ Oh and their youtube page has footage if you wish to check it out.
Hello Jonathan, glad you enjoyed the review!
Yes indeed, I have heard of Frontwire. In fact, once we get my work PC in tip-top shape again, I have an interview with their president that will be going up ASAP. I'm really looking forward to what they're doing, and hope they get to make a proper release without Disney or EA giving them any headache. Their early prototype footage has looked quite promising. Thank you for the suggestion!
Unabridged Gamer My pleasure, I look forward to checking out your future videos.
Oh also now you have one more subscriber, may the force be with you and your channel. Oh and I am definitely looking forward to your interview with the president of Frontwire and will be sure to tell my friends interested in the game to check out your video.
You two must know that Frontwire received a C&D from EA.
They have now turned away from the Star Wars IP in their game and are making something completely original.
Yeah I saw the video on the channel talking about it a couple weeks ago, but thank you for telling us anyways. Also I believe I will still play their game when it comes out, since the core mechanics are supposed to be the same.
still better than the new one which lack some content of this game
I wanted the new battlefront to be a updated version
I played the ds ver and never new it was like this
Favriote game ever
