[edit] Gameplay
The game introduces multi layered maps, allowing transition from ground to space, and allowing the player's actions in both layers affect the whole battlefront. While the PSP version features character customization, the DS has preset classes. The customization feature is deeper than the previous game, Renegade Squadron.
The game is expected to have an expansive story mode, starring X2 and his evil twin brother X1.
In an announcement on starwars.com, which announced the story of the game, the platforms, and several other aspects of the game, it was also mentioned that the game will feature events from the original Star Wars Saga and beyond. This includes the game's storyline, but may also include events from other parts of Star Wars history.[1]
[edit] PSP version
The PSP version of the game was developed by Rebellion Developments, who also worked on the previous title in the series, Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron.
The final game itself includes three singleplayer modes; Instant Action, Campaign and Galactic Conquest. The Campaign mode includes three acts. The first act covers the Clone Wars and the rise of both X1 and X2, as well as the issuing of Order 66, the second act is set during the rise of the Galactic Empire, and during the Galactic Civil War, and the third act is set after the defeat of the Empire, when the remaining forces of the Empire are struggling to survive.
Instant Action includes three different capture-the-flag modes, and a Heroes vs. Villains mode, as well as the standard "Conquest" mode.
Galactic Conquest mode now allows players to connect and play with another PSP[2].
[edit] DS version
The Nintendo DS version was developed by n-Space, known for the DS installments to the Call of Duty series, World at War and Modern Warfare. It features eleven campaign missions and up to four players via wi-fi connection.[3] The game features no customization, but instead uses the traditional class-based system. It uses an isometric view, similar to a modern dungeon crawler.
The campaign mode follows the same story as the PSP version, however it is eleven levels long instead of twelve.
Unlike classic Battlefront games, Instant Action is played with only four players, usually one from each faction. There are three modes - Free-For-All, Team Game and Hero Mode. Games are won in space by destroying enemy ships to earn points, in capital ships by collecting R2 units, and on the ground by capturing command posts and killing enemies.
