Star Wars nerds can try to read as much into the story as possible, but there is precious little revealed that hasn't already been divulged in the movies and other games. Conceptually, the gameplay is an amalgam of Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag. It's a great introduction into the genre, and while it's fun to play, you can't help but feel that you're missing out on the real action in the other modes.Īs a team-based unit, your missions are to capture enemy territory while defending your own. It's not the deepest of strategy games, but considering that Renegade Squadron is primarily a third-person action shooter, I don't think that this is the audience for such a game. The Galactic Conquest mode is a turn-based strategy game that gives you all kinds of micromanagement options such as purchasing units, vehicles, and weapons to do battle with the rival factions. If anything, they will get you familiar with the controls, characters, environments, and weapons. The single-player modes are definitely worthwhile.
They aren't as good as a skilled player, but you don't always get to play against such skilled players anyway, so it all evens out. Bots will take the place of players if there aren't enough people partaking in a particular match. And if that's the only major problem, then you know you've got nothing to worry about.Īs I mentioned, there is a huge multiplayer component that accommodates 16 players. It's mechanically solid and void of any major technical issues with the exception of the constant loading that occurs every few minutes causing the sound to cut out intermittently. The Star Wars license is done proud in Renegade Squadron. Loaded with gameplay variety, it features a good assortment of modes that lets you play it as a shooter, turn-based strategy, space shooter, and as a huge multiplayer blood fest. It eclipses its predecessor like a good sequel should.
Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron is the follow-up to Star Wars Battlefront 2.
