    Battlefront is Elite

    So theres not much to say on Battlefront Elite Squadron other than it's another Battlefront game. The same classic gameplay of the older games just on a small portable device. Now what is there to say about Elite Squadron? It's pretty great. Battlefront 2 on the psp felt like a poor attempt at a port. The battles seemed small in the fact that you hardly see more than a few characters on the screen at the same time. Elite Squadron improves in this aspect in that you see many more troops at a time. This also goes in hand with the graphics. This game looks way better than the pixelated mess of Battlefront 2 and I would say a slight step up from Renegade Squadron. That being said, this is still a psp game with it's limits. 
     
    Elite Squadron takes the gameplay to a new level however by allowing you to perfom in space, land and frigate battles all at once. You can just fly to the next area in a starfighter and you see short transition scene and then you are in the action. The controls are also more refined than Battlefront 2 and I felt it was much easier to play. If you played Renegade Squadron it's pretty much the same game.  
     
    The story in the campaign isn't great but when has anyone picked up a Battlefront game for the story. The Renegade style customization is still present and maybe even a little expanded upon. Over all if you like the Battlefront series I think Elite Squadron is the best way to go for psp gamers.

      The new Battlefront's features make it worse rather than better. 0

      As the battlefront series was progressing the game was slowly becoming better. For this game though, it became worse. The campaign/story mode is nice as it's fully voice acted and has a nice story. And this game is a great technical leap over the others with it's short load times and the ability to load sky, space, and a planet in one level, as well as the interior of a spaceship(which was a big plus for me) also the graphics look great on each frontier, and though they do have hidden load times...
