What players say
Battlefront II (2005) is an incredible Star Wars shooter that I played just before high school as the 2015 DICE remake would release soon after. I love both the EA DICE and the LucasArts Pandemic Studio versions of this series, but this in particular holds a special place in my heart.

StarWars BF2 2005 takes me back to my childhood. I used to play this on the PS2 with my dad growing up. While the new battle front is fun, it's more like COD with a starwars skin over it (which I also enjoy). Battle Front, 2005, still feels like its own thing. Maybe it's the nostalgia, but I think this still holds up to this day. The flight scenes are infuriating though haha
