I played the demo and I have to say I am hooked. I love the fact that it is almost a handheld Star Wars BF 2 and if you liked that game as much as me then this will have hooked you also.

This game was the main reason I finally got a PSP. The PSP itself is a great little device. Amazing graphics and functions for a handheld. Star Wars Elite Squadron looks very good, but still not as good as other PSP games in graphics department.
The customization and weapon and equipment choices are good but be prepared to unlock weapons, etc. That can be a great surprise while playing, but annoying when you are limited at first. Gameplay is very difficult for anyone used to 2 analog sticks and shooters. A distant above 3rd person approach, like God of War, may have been better for this instead of an over the shoulder third person view, which I always preferred in SW BF2. I get vertigo and struggle to not die too often. I am new to it and hope to get better at the control, but it is disappointing.
I like the game and the customization and the control scheme is fine after awhile, but still I am left with less than what I had hoped. I don’t regret buying it nor the PSP, but I am going to play it a lot less than I had Battlefront 2 on the PC these past years.
For your final decision check out videos on You Tube and download the demo first. If you can get past the difficult gameplay the features of this game are great.
I don’t really like UMDs so I got the version from the PSN and don’t regret it one bit. It saves battery life and less noise. Otherwise, most of my purchases come Amazon, but UMDs will be only for those unavailable in digital format.

Pros: The storyline is the best part of the game, Graphics come next. Deep, Deep customization is a huge plus and the unlock system for weapon and armor customization makes the game a definite incentive to keep playing the campaign. Difficulty is challenging without being frustrating. The transition from clone to rebel to Jedi was a plus because it gave the player a good experience with different modes of play.
Cons: I disliked the control scheme when i first started playing, it needs a heck of a lot of work, but its an option between Battlefront II and Renegade Squadron controls. Another issue was allied AI, the biggest issue is that they tend to run into a storm of fire, get cut to pieces, and waste reinforcements. The lightsaber is the smallest but most critical flaw in HNV battles. the sword has a short swing and almost no range so you must touch the target to slash it.
Comments: i can understand if you picked this up beat the campaign and put it back down and thought, “this game sucks, there’s no customization” I’ve done that before. but with this game you actually have to work to get the options on armor and weapons. playing to unlock is better then it already being there because it tells players “you want stuff? work for it.”

Ok, so I was eagerly waiting for this game to come out. Idiot me, it was already out as i discovered at best buy. I bought it immediatly and started playing. First thing I noticed, is that the controls are kinda stiff. Say, you are by a wall, targeting some droid. Well if that droid chooses to come toward you and get close, the camera goes screwey. Then you scramble around to try to shoot the droid, meanwhile the droid has no problem shooting you. It gets annoying.
It might seem insignifigant to some people, but one of the best things for me about the game is the sniping system. In Renegade Squadron, the sniping was next to impossible. Lucasarts completely balanced out the sniping, so that if your reticle is next to the person, then it will automaticly shoot them. That feature makes online play so much more fun. On one match I got 185 kills and 13 deaths. Not bad kill to death ratio for online scores.
Online play is the way to go. I never get bored of it, and if you have a best friend that plays too, then you can add him and join the game instead of jumping in and out of games like Renegade. The game is fairly new, so there arent many hackers. But you could be enjoying a game and all of a sudden everyone on your team dies from a hacker. NOT FUN. Hackers aside, online is great.
You must know what the story is about from other people, so I just want to say that I like the story a lot. It is pretty different from the other SWB games, and I like the diversity.
