chicagodave Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Average Score: 8.3 Good: - uh, it's STAR WARS - watching NPC darth vader wreak havoc on the battlefield is awesome - battles are epic and grand in scale - graphics are very impressive for PS2 Bad: - Weak single player - No way to 'vote off' team killers - AI is 'poor' - FPS gets choppy with all onscreen action - online lag is supposedly pretty bad, even on lucasarts servers w/ only 12 people - many vehicles are too fast for practical use it actually got a good review from the magazine, im a bit concerned about the lag though lets hope its not too bad. also about kicking the team killers i hope the host can kik em since well all be with voice chat we can just tell the host to kick him.

DieStarWarsGeek Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 "supposed lag"? If it is that bad I'm sure they will do something about it. Same thing about the AI and voting people off. It's called Updates/Patches. (and that's where consoles are out of luck) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SITH_ShadowCat Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 The numerical scores coming it from reviews are just what I wanted to see, but I can't sat the same for the negetives mentioned in them. I think since the magazine takes time to print and set up, the reviews got an earlyer copy which still had a buggy net code. Lag better not be off the wall like the magazine preposes.

JDKnite188 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Originally posted by chicagodave . . . No way to 'vote off' team killers . . . Uh . . . so there is no effective voting system on server games? I find this strange, considering that every multiplayer FPS that I have played has had a kick vote capability.

chicagodave Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 NOTE: on the kicking part, those were dedicated servers the mag reviewers were playing in. so hopefully user servers will be able to kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE BADGER: Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 No way to 'vote off' team killers Uh-Oh.... Kinda worried a little on this one. Hopefully they will add this in the finale version. Common sense would tell you to put in a vote procedure. People can mess up online play, just look at SOCOM 1! I believe Star Wars will attract a better crowed than SOCOM 2, but you will still have fools and people with no honor! Gotta have a vote feature!! It's called Updates/Patches. (and that's where consoles are out of luck Yes consoles have patches. I've already downloaded 2. And a console is simply a small computer, but only designed for one or two things. You can make a patch for a console just as easy as a PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountainforest Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Thanks for the review chicacodave. Don't like to hear about the badpoints, but I guess the only think we can do is wait untill we get to know how bad it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rut-wa jodar Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I have a question. If a game has a "weak singleplayer" and Major Multiplayer problems, then how the hell can it be rewarded with a good review ? I suspect they were reviewing a different game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syzerian Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 ah, the joys of pc games, MODS! I'm sure someone will make an admin mod or find someway to boost up the bots and tweak the vehicles accordingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler_Durden Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Obviously this is a PS2 game review? Is there any mention of a PC or XBOX review as i would think those are the more definitive reviews, especially the PC version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like you are forced to download them. You can pick the ones you want. I'm all for new vehicles, weapons and maps. Not to mention a mod that will enable vote kick.

I think you'll find TK was referning to the dreaded admin mods that made JA a pain to play online, admin mods are server sided and imo ruined a great game. BUT were not talkin ja here. Battlefront doesn't need an admin mod and if it gets one it needs to be a tasteful mod without commands like Slay and silence, Kick and sleep and ban are all I've ever used on JA and battlefront doesnt even need that many. Kick and ban thats all you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vader523 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I own SOCOM 2 and to be completely honest, I barely experiance any lag at all. I only get lag when I have multiple programs running on my computer and even then its not bad. It depends on your connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
