This is my second reveiw so i don't know if it'll be any better, if you're concerned there might be spoilers then you haven't seen any star wars movies and are not a fan so you wasting you time here.

SWB II (i'm shortening the title 'cause i want to) is the sequal to SWB, duh, and if you played that you'd know its basicly a huge game full of maps that only have territory games allowed on them... which was bad for a FPS (technically the default camera is 3rd person, but you can change it and it is esssentially the same type of game). So here are a list of the most noticable changes in the game.

New Classes to play
Each army has an extra 'special class' and a host of others to share like 'marines' and 'engineers', also the old classes has had a little tweaking and improved dramaticly (droideka are not as feared as they were in SWB).

New Levels
Remember in SW III RotS the lava planet Aniken and Obi-wan fought on? Well it's now a playable map! Not only new worlds from the recent movies were added but some from the older movies too, like Yoda's hideaway planet. Also Space is a playable feild of battle now, where you combat with X wings and bomb imperial transports with Y wings. Fun.|

Sprinting
It is now possible to sprint you troop across the field consuming a new stanima bar, useful when time is of the essence eh?

Heroes
In SWB, you could have a jedi on your side every now and again, and he'd fight rather poorly (personally, i remeber count Dooku getting a 'traitor' award once while i played as the CIS ). In SWB II you can play as a large number (ok it's not that large, maybe over 10) of heroes from Yoda, Mace windu, Obi-Wan, The Emperor (Sideous), Gen. Greivous, Jango Fett, Princess Leia, Aniken (both before and after the 'dark side') and Darth Maul (that's not everyone, i negelected to mention a few like a couple of the jedi that was gunned down in ep III, and some of the SWB originals are in there too). Heroes are faster and stronger than the SWB ones, they have a special health bar that depletes over time but recharges a bit whenever you kill an enemy, Jedi and sith come with force powers like throw lightsabre and lightning, force jump (double jump possible) and Force sprint (faster than most land vehicles), these powers consume stanima though.

Medals
In addition to awards, players now earn medals which are saved to you profile. Medals are gived during battle for good performance not just with killing, but with killing with certain weapons like a pistol, Medals come with bonuses that make you even more difficult to take down,eg. killing six people with a pistol without dying gives you a 'gunslinger' award and a supirior pistol. Earning on your profile a certain number of the same medal then makes the bonus that comes with it perament.

Thats all the new stuff i'm going to mention, now i'm going to focus on the stuff it's rated on

Graphics: 8/10
It hasn't improved too much since the original, but there are some noticeable differences like cleaner movie scenes and a better main menu

Gameplay: 7/10
It's better that SWB, because of a cool campaign mode as a clone trooper that leads all the way through to the rise of the empire, when he becomes a stormtrooper and continues his millitary career. Also, if you are tired of territories, you can play CTF now, with territories.

Sound: 8/10
No problems with the sound, but there's nothing spectacular about it.

Overall: 8/10
It's the kind of game you'll play over a long time, then just slow down to playing it every so often with friends, worth buying.

+++EDIT UPDATE+++

I'd thought i'd include a link to the wikipedia page of the game, seeing as it is full of info about the game and gives a great insight as to how the game is played. Worth it if you are uncertain about buying it.

When i read that you had this ripped to your Xbox i had never thought it would be so good. For some reason, i keep thinking of that other star wars game... that only has like the teratories (sorry, im halo-2-orised), this sounds way different. Might even chip my xbox and 'back it up' or go and buy the game.

i'd assume xbox, just because it is 4 most things, but PS2 controls are far better because u have easily pressed L2 & R2 instead of tiny awkwardly pressed white and black buttons.

whichever u prefer.

hehehe.
I once read xbox is good for all 3D sorta games, like car racning n stuff. Where there are other objects to be controlled, so i'd say it'd be best on xbox aswell.

never played the pc version... but you get to have the patch for it with extra heroes and planets... as for online play it may be good... it'd entertain you more than the regular at least
