The DS version is about as scaled back as you can get with a Battlefront game, and while the PSP iteration did little to impress me, I still found myself drawn to the DS version's simple single-player campaign time and time again. The Battlefront series has long been known for fun multiplayer action, with most of the single-player portion taking a backseat to choosing a Jedi avatar or other notable face in the Star Wars universe and trading blaster shots with your friend online, either on the ground or in space. It has some serious flaws, such as it being called a "Battlefront" game while only supporting up to four people in local multiplayer. I have a sneaking suspicion not many people will be able to convince three of their friends to buy this game.I found myself liking Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron on the DS a lot more than I probably should have. Multiplayer is limited to four people and is more of a tacked-on. You'll notice the lack of any mention of the multiplayer mode until now, an oddity as this is a game within the Battlefront series.
Moral of the story is the sound isn't the one at fault, it merely plays down to its surroundings. Take the same sound effects and music and add it to a dynamic game like Knights of the Old Republic and it feels epic. But when coupled with a subpar game, it feels uninspired. This isn't really a bad thing, as it captures the mood. The music is exactly as you'd expect, being the extremely well-known Star Wars themes and sound effects. During the game, similar text will pop up on the lower screen giving further narrative - something I found myself missing half the time, as I was focused on the top screen where all the shooting was going on.
Cutscenes between the action are delivered through nice drawings, with text dialogue taking place on the bottom screen. Graphically, things are adequate if not spectacular.
