Fresh off the presses, LucasArts is bringing
Star Wars Battlefront II to the Sony PSP Handheld. Here's the official word:
Size Matters Not
LucasArts will finally unleash its first handheld game this fall. While other companies have released handheld
Star Wars games in the past,
Star Wars Battlefront II for PSP is the first to actually be published by LucasArts.
Developed by Savage Entertainment,
Star Wars Battlefront II for PSP is similar to its recently announced console counterpart (see below) with space combat, playable Jedi, and
Star Wars: Episode III
Revenge of the Sith content, yet it still boasts several distinct features meant to embrace the "on-the-go" nature of a handheld system. The game includes several unique mini-campaigns as opposed to the much longer campaign seen on consoles. Players can join the Rebellion as a smuggler, work for themselves as a mercenary for hire, or use their Imperial sniping skills to rid the galaxy of pesky species like Jawas, Ewoks and Gungans. Wi-Fi compatibility permits up to four players to join in at once, either cooperatively or competitively, and they can also partake in classic Instant Action mode to fight their favorite
Star Wars battles any way they want to.
