RETURN TO THE BATTLEFRONT Activision Australia announces a game for all those Star Wars fans with itchy trigger fingers. STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT: ELITE SQUADRON. It is a new take on the classic Star Wars Battlefront gameplay, resulting in new levels of interaction and excitement in handheld gaming. The massive, galactic campaign will ship this Spring for the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system and Nintendo DS™.

For the first time ever in the Star Wars Battlefront series, players will be able to fight on multi-level battlefronts, on the ground and in space. Players can start the fight on foot, commandeer a vehicle to battle on the ground or dogfight in space, and land their craft and fight on capital starships. The battles waged on each front are all directly affected by the player’s actions, creating a combat experience where every shot fired and every enemy defeated can affect the outcome of a battle on another front.

With a deep and engrossing single player campaign that spans the entire Star Wars Saga – and beyond. Gamers assume the identity of X2, a clone trooper created from the DNA of a Jedi Master. Originally tasked with eliminating Jedi during Order 66, X2 decides to leave his blood-stained past behind and joins the Rebellion. X2 isn’t the only Force-sensitive clone, however. X1, his clone brother, chooses a much more sinister path, leading to a confrontation that could determine the fate of both the Empire and the Rebellion.

The PSP supports 16-player multiplayer, complete with in-depth stat tracking, and intense 4-player skirmishes on the Nintendo DS across a wide number of modes, including the all-new "Heres and Villains". More information about the game can be found at the official website, www.StarWarsBATTLEFRONT.com.
