This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Star Wars: Battlefront II for PlayStation 2
Star Wars: Battlefront II for PlayStation 2 puts soldiers into Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War battles. You choose a class, capture command posts and drain enemy reinforcements. Clones, droids, rebels and stormtroopers fight alongside temporarily playable heroes and villains. The campaign follows the 501st Legion from the Republic to the Empire.
Ground battles use blasters, heavy weapons, vehicles and specialist classes. In space you fly fighters and bombers, land in an enemy capital ship and sabotage it inside. Instant Action offers separate battles and Galactic Conquest links maps through a strategic star chart. Solo play with computer troops remains fully offline.
Two players can cooperate or compete locally in split screen with two controllers. The PS2 edition also had network-adapter online matches, but that official service has ended. This is the 2005 game, not EA's 2017 Battlefront II or the 2024 Classic Collection.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 2 games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
The manual is missing from this copy of Star Wars: Battlefront II for PlayStation 2. That is why the product title says “No Manual”. You receive the game in its box, without the instruction booklet. This makes the contents clear before you order.
The original printed manual usually contains at least English and often around six European languages. The languages vary by edition; Dutch is not always included. This information describes the original booklet and does not mean that it comes with this copy. A copy with a manual is offered separately when available.
The history of Star Wars: Battlefront II
Pandemic Studios developed Battlefront II and LucasArts released it in Europe on 28 October 2005 for PS2, Xbox, Windows and PSP. Arriving after Episode III, it used locations, clones and events from the then-complete film saga. Another team made the different PSP version.
Pandemic expanded the first game's formula with space battles, playable heroes and the Rise of the Empire campaign. A 501st veteran narrates how clones become stormtroopers. Command posts and reinforcement counts still underpin ordinary battles.
Battlefront II became a widely played Star Wars shooter and later received digital reissues. Electronic Arts reused the title in 2017 for a different game. The PS2 disc remains Pandemic's original with offline bots, local split screen and historical online features, without later collection content.
