I rented this game this weekend and it is amazing. I love this game.
For those of you who don't know what it is, it's a Star wars form of Battlefield.
It can be played in either third or first person. There are four different teams you can be. The droids, clones, Empire, and Rebels. For each team, there are different classes. You have your basic trooper guy, with traditional blaster rifle, then there are snpiers, rocket launchers, and then there are the special classes. For the droids there is is the radiation launchers, Super droids with wrist lasers and wrist rockets, Droideckas, they are the little annoying guys with shields and rolling aroundness. For clones they have the jet pack people, with emp launchers,then there are the guys with electric ray guns that shoot electric shocks. The empire has shot gunners with jet packs, mortar launcher people. The rebels have Wookies.Yes, you heard me right, Wookies.
There are also alot of vehicles such as Tie fighters, Tie bombers, X-Wings, Y-Wings, Speederbikes, AT-STs,AT-ATs, Snowspeeders and a bunch of other ones.
There is two different time periods as well. One is the clone era which has the Droid army and the Clone army. Then there is the other era(Can't remember the name) with the Empire and the Rebels. For each era you get about 3-5 battles with each army in chrnological order. For the Clone era there are places such as Naboo, where you can shoot Gungans, Kashyyyx, where the Wookies live, and a bunch of others. For the other era there are place like Tatooine, with the creepy sand pit, Hoth, with the classic battle from The Empire Strikes Back, and of course Endor, with Ewoks. I love Ewoks.
Then there is the Galactic Conquest amd Instant Action. Galactic Conquest you get to pick an army and try to take over the galaxy, hence the name. For every planet you control you can choose a certain bonus for battle, for example, if you control Tatooine, you can have a Jedi hero assist you on the battle field. Instant action is exactly what it sounds like. Instant action.
Battle is pretty simple no matter where you are. You basically just run around shooting people and trying to take the other army's command posts. When they are red, they are the enemies, when they are white, they are neutral, yellow is for npc armies, such as the Ewoks, and green means it's yours. You win the battle when you have either killed all of the other teams players or taken all of their command stations.
I haven't done the online play yet, so anyone who has, feel free to share. My wrists hurt. Too much typing.
