Every fan dreams of lightsaber duels, spaceship dogfights and battling on Endor… and DICE’s new online multiplayer shoot-up has it all – but it also has a rather nasty dark side
This Star Wars shooter has a lot in common with the Death Star. When working as intended, both are monsters in their respective fields… but where the Death Star had a terrible design flaw that ultimately left it in ruins, Battlefront II has something similar: microtransactions.
By including the option to use real money to purchase upgrades, the balance in player power has become frustratingly lopsided. Buy Darth Vader and you can butcher your way through rebel armies between coughs. Or you could purchase power-ups called Star Cards, which arm you with the likes of an Acid Launcher or speedy health regeneration. These things undoubtedly bring with them an overwhelming advantage.
