Star Wars: Battlefront II

Star Wars: Battlefront was a good game. It was original, it was some kind of fun, it had that feeling of you being one little gear of an infernal war machine...
The good:
Star Wars: Battlefront 2 is an enhanced version of the previous title. It has better graphics, sharper AI (for the opponent's, because your partners are just running as dummies on the field...), nice little galaxy domination game as a shell for the battles (you move your ships like in a chess game, only you'll do it on a special web and you'll get your missions from making your turns on the enemy's territory), it has more units that you can play (you can play as a Jedi now if you're good enough), you got to play space missions (cool!).
The bad & the ugly:
My complains have to do mainly with the AI of your companions. The enemy is doing some impressive moves, can protect itself shooting behind of some obstacles, jumps as a commando trooper, but their strength comes from their numbers. Your friends are nothing but "Look! I'm running over here, I'm running over there, I'm dead!" The radio is always giving you some nice little hints like: "We can't afford losing soldiers like that!", or "We can't afford losing any more check points!" (or whatever they call them). It's nothing personal but when the enemy's best soldiers kill as many as 15, 14, 13, 10..., you killed 47 of theirs but your guys only manage to score like 6, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2,... you realize that something is just plain wrong. You'll try secure those damn points, you try to secure your buddy's back and they make their stupid run-'till-shot dance. I'll say what you'll do: you'll curse few times and then you'll hit "Quit".

It's a damn shame, because all-in-all it's a good game, and we know it. I'll give it a 8.5 because all those nice features. But this game is intended only for those serious players or dedicated fans.
