Summary
The galactic battle goes portable, with Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron bringing a unique storyline that spans the entirety of the classic George Lucas saga and puts you right in the middle of it. The plot begins with you, a clone trooper called X2 that's been tasked with eliminating Jedi left, right and centre during Order 66.
X2 has a conflict of interest - probably due to the fact that he was created with the DNA of a Jedi Master himself - and defects from his army to join the Rebellion forces. As you progress through the story you learn that your similarly created clone brother, X1, has taken a much more sinister path when handed his conscience. The two troopers come head to head in a confrontation that could determine the course of the entire Star Wars saga.
The game is as fast, substantial and fun to play as its critically acclaimed console cousins, with the Nintendo DS version offering a unique class-based experience that allows you to tackle situations in many different ways. There are plenty of weapons customisation options available too, giving your X2 character powerful heavy weapons, blasters and even lightsabers. You've got Jedi blood in you, after all - would be a shame not to use it!
