Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron For PSP and Nintendo
DS Now Available

Epic Multi-Level Battlefronts, Deep Original Story and Hugely Expansive
Gameplay Features Invade Retail

LucasArts announced today that Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron for the PSP
and Nintendo DS™ is now available at retailers.

For the first time ever in the Star Wars Battlefront® series,
players will be able to fight on multi-level battlefronts both 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.

Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron features a deep and
engrossing single-player campaign that spans the entire Star Wars® Saga – and
beyond. Players 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 join the Rebellion. However,
X2 isn’t the only Force-sensitive clone. 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.

Additionally, players have at their disposal massive amounts
of pick-up-and-play action for seemingly endless replay value. The PSP system
provides the deepest customization options ever seen in a Star Wars Battlefront
title, allowing players to personalize and outfit their character with more
weapons and items than ever before. Customization options include selection of
the weapons characters carry into battle, the armor they wear on their backs,
their species, gender, appearance and physical strengths. Players can also
unlock hundreds of new achievement items and bonuses to further personalize
their characters. On Nintendo DS, players can experience a unique class-based
gameplay experience that allows them to outfit their characters with
pre-determined weapon armaments, including heavy weapons, blasters and even
lightsabers. Choosing the right character class will help players overcome
obstacles and complete mission objectives.

Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron on the PSP system
supports 16-player multiplayer, complete with in-depth stat tracking and on
Nintendo DS, intense 4-player skirmishes across a wide number of modes are
featured, including the all-new “Heroes and Villains” mode. Take up arms as some
of the most iconic Star Wars characters, including Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader,
Boba Fett, Kit Fisto, Darth Maul and other familiar faces from Star Wars
Battlefront®: Renegade Squadron™ and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed™. Battle for
the fate of the galaxy on some of the most memorable Star Wars planets of all
time, including the forest-covered landscape of Endor, the frozen wastes of Hoth
and even the mysterious Yavin 4.
