Amid tens of thousands of Star Wars® fans gathered at the Indiana Convention Center for the four-day Star Wars party of a lifetime, LucasArts revealed Star Wars Battlefront™ II at Star Wars Celebration III. Set for a Fall 2005 release on the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Xbox® video game system from Microsoft and Windows platforms, Star Wars Battlefront II takes the best-selling Star Wars video game of all time one Imperial-walker step forward with all-new space combat, playable Jedi, and never-before-seen environments straight out of the Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith film. Fans of the original Star Wars Battlefront will also enjoy an all-new single-player experience that takes players through an epic, story-based saga where every action the player takes impacts the battlefront and, ultimately, the fate of the Star Wars galaxy.

I'm surprised to read that Battlefront is the best selling Star Wars game. I thouhg that honour would have belonged to Knights Of The Old Republic.

eh, i'm not. KotoR was aimed at RPG players/fans first of all, and while a great game, the thing that really sold Battle Fronts was that it put you into the epic battles of the star wars movies,rather than a whole new setting and story,and it was a fairly basic shooter, which is open to much broader audience. most people either love or hate RPGs, but almost everyone can have fun with a FPS. *key word, ALMOST* ah well, can't wait for the 2nd installment to get here, its looks most impressive

Oh come now Agent Smith, you know that two words alone make it a huge seller.
"Shoot Ewoks!"

Though, based on sales at the store lately, Lego Star Wars might eventually catch up thanks to the words "Kill Jar Jar Binks"

you can kill jar jar in that one? oh, gotta get to game stop..

Must... kill... Jar Jar!

Anyway, I was thinking KOTOR had sold more as it had been on the shelves for a year longer than Battlefront.

Are you counting both KOTORs or just the first?

This game will be sweet to LAN with. Even single player is good but LAN is just pwnage.

Just the first one. I think it was released in 2003, so it had a year's headstart over Battlefront.

anyone hear if they upgraded the graphics some? i was a little disapointed with that aspect of the game. it seemed as though they through the game together to quickly. i would hope that the graphics and physics are better in II.

The only thing I hated was that online you would get the connection thing down at the bottom of the screen, and people would join with crappy connections, and they need a way to filter them so if you have a crap connection, you can't join a good connection game.
