Normally I just ignore Star Wars games, because there's so many of them. But this one actually appealed to me. 1) Because it's a shooter, like DOOM, and 2) it's the first game ever to cover all six movies.

I rented the game for PS2 this week, and I see that it plays a lot like Halo, which I've got for the PC. Using the Jedi is an awesome tactic, and I'm glad to see Capture-the-Flag in there.

But here's the problem: I can't get used to the controls! I always play shooter games on the PC, because I'm so used to the keyboard and mouse (which is why I got Halo for the PC, because I couldn't stand the XBOX controls for that game). I see on my PS2 that there's two USB ports. If I could get a USB keyboard and mouse plugged in and to work with Battlefront, I'll be able to ace that game.

I have no choice but to get this game for the PS2, because my sucky computer doesn't have Transform&Lighting, which the PC version requires. So do you know if I can get a USB keyboard and mouse to work with the PS2 game?


I don't have the game (yet!), but first you must look if the game accepts Keyboard and Mouse control (on the back cover). I'm really not sure about this... cause you know, the PS2 has really under-used the USB control capacity, a large majority of FPS don't accept Keyboard and Mouse, and it's really too bad!
And for the games that can be played with keyboard & mouse, you can plug in your PS2 pretty much all the USB keyboards and mouses, you don't have to buy a "PS2" keyboard or mouse.
