11 Star Wars Games You Need To Play Before The Force Awakens

4. Battlefront II (2005)

The new Battlefront is amazing. It's light on features, but heavy on sheer quality, and that's what really counts. I understand the uproar swirling around the unfair levels of DLC, but gameplay-wise, it's the slickest, smoothest, greatest Star Wars experience to date. You should go and play it immediately, but you already knew that. However, you may need a push to get back on Battlefront II. It's so worth it, particularly for the space combat that we sorely lack on the next-gen edition. I honestly don't think it's possible to grow tired of hopping in an X-wing zipping across the space gulf between two mammoth starships and conquering the other, meticulously destroying sensors, turrets, shield generators and command centres.
