Elite Squadron on the DS is amazingly simple. While all these options look good on paper, they don't make much of a difference. The assault class is your standard balanced class and the engineer can drop mini-turrets to attack the enemies. The heavy weapons class has an extremely powerful mini-gun at its disposal, contrasted with the spy who fires dual pistols and can sabotage turrets. At various waypoints, you can change your class to harness different strengths and abilities.

The D-pad controls the movement of your character while the face buttons dodge, swap and fire weapons, interact with the environment, and launch grenades or their equivalents. Joe: Revenge of Cobra, amongst others, you'll be familiar with the essence of how gameplay works here. If you've played the DS versions of Ultimate Alliance 2 or G.I.

It will no doubt be interesting to the hardest of hardcore Star Wars fans, though casuals would be hard-pressed to care solely due to the game's narrative. There's a fair amount of plot and story interwoven from the backdrop of the movies intermixed amongst the peripheral canonical material.

For example, X2 does battle with General Grievous and has a role in the execution of Order 66 - the directive to kill all Jedi given in Episode II. The saga of X2 plays out across the new and original Star Wars trilogy timelines, interwoven with the plotlines from the movies.

The single-player portion puts players in the role of X2, an elite clone trooper who, along with his 'twin' X1, is perhaps the most decorated and adept of the clone troopers and given special missions to reflect his abilities. But how does it hold up when Battlefront becomes an overhead shooter instead of the first/third-person game we are familiar with? Where the PSP version is able to power a much different experience than DS, SWBES drops the first-person perspective and adopts an overhead isometric view that should be all too familiar. Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron (SWBES) is the latest title tagged for the Star Wars franchise, continuing the once console-specific Battlefront series onto the handhelds.
