I must've put at least 2,000 hours into Star Wars Battlefront II with my family and friends as a kid. I loved every second of it. Gunplay felt good, different classes felt distinct, maps were varied and engaging. The space combat dogfighting felt perfect for the arcade nature of the game. Invading enemy star destroyers was an experience that still hasn't been successfully emulated or implemented by an other game since.
The hunt modes, Galactic Conquest mode, heroes fight. All of it. All of it was great. Top down fantastic game. One of the best team shooters of all time, period. And it still holds up today, pushing two decades after release.

It could have been a 'Call of Duty' milking a famous brand, but it's really a great war game. Something that still shock me today is the quantity of scenarios and the variety of the classes, but what makes this game so damn good is the multiplayer, a multiplayer that it's still maintained alive by the community.
As a kid, I grew up with the PlayStation 2 version of this game. When I first heard that it was on the PSP, I was worried it would be another downgraded port and wouldn't be as good as the home console version. Man, was I wrong.
Of course, the controls are a bit janky but once you sit down and play for a bit, you become adjusted to it and feels more natural. Also, some content from the other versions are missing, but it's a worthy sacrifice for an impressive port. Would recommend to veterans who want something different.

This and COD Black Ops 2. PC and console. Two old FPS loves of mine.
Games like this contain the beautiful essence of "die-swich-off" multiplayer that I find myself missing sometimes. I don't want to be a kid again. I like being an adult. But sometimes I don't mind feeling like a kid and games like this one make that easy.
