UPDATE: IGN also got their hands on the single-player mode and posted their review of what they experienced.
————————————————–
Earlier today Electronic Arts posted a new trailer centering on the single-player story mode for Star Wars Battlefront II. The folks over at Game Informer had the opportunity to spend some time navigating through the game’s story mode which focuses on lead character Iden Versio, a dedicated member of the Empire. A snippet from their article is copied below (as well as EA’s trailer once again), so be sure to take the supplied source link for the rest of their story mode impression.
Developed by EA Motive, the studio headed by former Assassin’s Creed producer Jade Raymond, the campaign puts the player in the shoes of Iden Versio. As a lifelong servant of the Empire, she has dedicated to the cause of wiping out the Rebel Alliance as commander of the Inferno Team. When the game starts, Iden is captured by the enemy and has to remotely control her backpack droid to free her. From there, she’s one blaster rifle and a hundred Rebels away from escaping the ship.
The prologue mission introduces you to all the basic game mechanics. Iden can use her droid to zap enemies into unconsciousness, which is good for stealth approaches. This skill requires a cooldown that can be lessened by killing enemies or making headshots, so Iden can’t avoid fighting for long.
