For only $4.99, Xbox players who purchase Battlefront II's downloadable premium content gain two new playable hero characters (Jedi Kit Fisto and the evil Asajj Ventress) as well as four of their favorite maps from the original Star Wars Battlefront. Each of the downloadable maps - including Yavin 4 (Arena), Bespin (Cloud City) and two on icy Rhen Var (Harbor and Citadel) - boasts bonus modes of Conquest, Capture-the-Flag and Assault (a good-versus-evil hero free-for-all that includes the new characters and other heroes already in the game in one Force-ful battle royale). Assault modes have also been added to the preexisting maps on Coruscant, Mygeeto and Naboo, and Rhen Var's Harbor map includes an additional Hunt mode featuring wampa ice creatures.
The new locations and heroes enable Star Wars fans to relive some of their favorite heroic confrontations, as well - this time with entire armies backing them. On Bespin, Luke Skywalker takes on Darth Vader as seen in The Empire Strikes Back. Meanwhile, as depicted in Cartoon Network's Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series, Anakin Skywalker goes up against Asajj Ventress in the jungles of Yavin 4. Count Dooku's protégé even comes equipped with an exciting new weapon - two lightsabers attached with a fibercord.
