Remember the old days when Star Wars games were generally some of the best available? I remember. Anyways regardless of how you feel about modern SW games, this one is and always will be a classic in my opinion. The basic game can be played in either third or first person and is a fairly simple battle royale set up, you play as one of the teams from the two wars that were fought in the SW universe, either the clone wars or the galactic civil war (aka the rebels vs. the empire). You then choose which class of soldier you'd like to play as, there's the basic soldier, the heavy soldier who is good for taking out vehicles, the sharpshooter who's good for sniping, and the engineer who is good for repairing vehicles and giving health packs to other soldiers. There is also two special classes that each team has that are completely unique to their respective team, there is also the option of playing as a Leader which is generally one of the famous characters from the star wars movies such as Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi, etc. What map you play on and which team you choose will determine which leader you can play as. Finally there are several different game modes that you can play, there's the standard campaign mode where you play through the story of the 501st legion of clones who started on the battle of Geonosis and go all the way till they defeated the rebels at the battle of Hoth. There's also Galactic conquest mode where you pick a team to play as and travel around the galaxy taking over planets that the other team has and defending the planets you have, you also will engage in space battles during these modes where your goal is to destroy the enemies fleet or to take down at least 150 of the enemy fighters, whoever reaches the goal first wins. Finally there's instant action mode where you select which maps and modes you'd like to play. The main game mode is Conquest where your goal is to go around the map and capture command posts which allow your teams troops to spawn, you win by either capturing all the command posts and holding them for 20 seconds, or by killing off all of the enemy teams reinforcements, instant action mode allows you to customize the games however you'd like and also include modes like Hunt where you can play as one of the many creatures in the galaxy such as the wampas on Hoth or the Ewoks on Endor, as well as Hero assault which is just a team death match between the heroes and the villains. There are other modes as well but I never played much of them to be honest. Overall I loved this game moreso than any other star wars game because it allowed me to live out my dream of being a clone trooper fighting for the republic, or a stormtrooper fighting for the empire, most star wars games from this point and before always followed the main heroes that we see in the movies and while there's plenty of great games there, I always preferred this because of how different it was and also you gotta admit that the clone/storm troopers have some seriously cool armor.
