Once again, online warfare (for up to 24 players on PS2, 36 on Xbox) has you capturing and defending control points scattered about locations like the Death Star and molten-hot Mustafar. But now you also get to play as Force-fueled warriors — including the man in black (no, not Johnny; I'm talking Vader) — and engage in ship-to-ship space battles. It’s
Star Wars like it oughta be, without the mushy romance and lame politics.
