    As should be obvious, this is a Battlefield clone in a Star Wars package. If you like the gameplay mechanics of the Battlefield series, you'll probably also like this, and if you're a big Star Wars fan like me, you'll like it even more. Definitely not very creative, but still manages to be pretty fun.

    Star Wars Battlefront is an enjoyable shooter set in the Star Wars Universe. The shooting element is so much fun and driving the speeder bikes is just too darn fun, especially at the Dune Sea. It is a pretty fun game that I recommend checking out.

    Игра устарела.
    STAR WARS: BATTLEFRONT - эта та игра, которая подарила мне одни из самых сильных игро-впечатлений детства.
    Решил поиграть в неё спустя много лет. Ностальгический экстаз прошёл быстро и я увидел проблемы этой игры: тупейший ИИ, однообразие заданий, невозможность поиграть за особых героев (джедаи и прочие существа), нарастающая по мере прохождения скука. Да, антураж    Игра устарела.

    Да, антураж вселенной ЗВ в первых миссиях до сих пор работает на отлично. Звуки, техника, локации - всё здорово. Но потом в полной мере раскрываются проблемы, описанные выше и эти положительные моменты перекрываются отрицательными.
    Сетевая же игра умерла вместе с gamespy и чтобы в неё зайти, нужно заморочиться, что неохота совершенно.
    Можете проходить мимо, если только у вас нет желания поностальгировать.    … Expand

    Весело было побегать в своё время, даже просто с ботами. Была такая невинная забава. Со второй частью было также. Никто ведь не знал, что третью часть будут ждать так сильно.

    I've played this game many years ago. Not bad third person shooter in Star Wars setting.

    Star-wars battlefront is a fantasy come true for a lot of people. but to me star wars battlefront was actually my introduction to star wars along with the first lego star wars game. and i do have fond memories of playing this game with my neighbor back when you could Rent games at block buster or in my case Rogers video.

    story: this is a hard one to review because the story is not good.    Star-wars battlefront is a fantasy come true for a lot of people. but to me star wars battlefront was actually my introduction to star wars along with the first lego star wars game. and i do have fond memories of playing this game with my neighbor back when you could Rent games at block buster or in my case Rogers video.

    story: this is a hard one to review because the story is not good. as a nameless soldier you fight for 1 of the 4 main factions over 2 eras and the main story takes you through most if not all the maps in under 4 hours. so this game is short . and the plot iit self is a much less personal look at the movies (at this point revenge of the sith hadn't been released yet ) so it covers 5 movies in under 4 hours witch really is not that much time at all. this story runs on pure concept alone and i think the game is lucky it had a good one
    Story: 5/10

    World building: the maps are so well designed and thought out and have a lot of little details it really feels like they are locals in the star wars universe and we get free range to explore the map (within the match ) the tattooine map with the tuskin raiders being a highlight putting a third wild card faction on the map. its the little details of this game that got me into the star wars universe THAT and how cool clone troopers look and using all those iconic laser blasters.
    World building 8/10

    Graphics: for 2004 these graphics are pretty impressive. playing this on the pc was a smooth experience. textures were good and character models and animations are good for the time ( a little stiff and awkward now but still good) my one complaint is the draw distance , i get its an older game but it really takes away from the grand scale of the game
    graphics: 8/10

    Gameplay: battlefront plays a lot like a battle field game and with that simple fact its no surprise dice took over the battlefront mantle later on, but being set in the star wars universe makes it so much more fun and who knew going on a rampage killing droids as a clone trooper would be so much fun.
    8/10

    Sound design:its star wars , star wars already has great music no need to change it we know its great but there isnt a whole lot of it in the game. voice acting was enthusiastic to say the least not as good as it would have been today but for its time good. but the sound effects is where it shines every gun every character ever vehicle has great sound effects and really helps bring the world to life.
    sound design: 7.5/10

    5+8+8+8+7.5= 36.5
    36.5/5= 7.3
    starwars battlefront 2004 is a game i like and definitely has potential and i know its sequel is bigger and better a grand stepping stone to a great game and a valiant first entry in a series. i think the best thing about this game is its room to grow and potential the series had pre EA    … Expand

    Годиться только старикам поностальгировать, к сожалению это не та игра в которой и через 30 лет можно получать удовольствие. В нынешних реалиях, ей не выжить.

    The interface is wonderful. You have so much information immediately available to you. Google Maps always has a minimap in the lower left corner, which gives you a good overview of the area. Getting information about people gives you a clear, clear window. Hacking offers a menu with easily recognizable icons, so you always know what your button presses will do.

    Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло. Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить. И знаешь, Геральт, порой бывает так, что Очень Большое Зло схватит тебя за горло и скажет: «Выбирай, братец, либо я, либо то, которое чуточку поменьше»Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло.

    But once you take it online and play team versus team the fun factor really kicks in. AT-ATs shaking the ground, Ties and X-Wings battling it out in the air and the sounds of explosions and blaster fire all around you, any real Star Wars fans doesn't stand a chance at putting this game down.

    Battlefront gives fans a perfectly good way to act out their fantasies of being a grunt in either of hte series' wars. [Holiday 2004, p.82]

    This game is good but not great. The game needed about another 3 to 6 months of development time to get some of the bugs worked out (specifically the AI and the weapons loadouts), but I have a feeling the pressure was on since they timed the game's release with the release of the original trilogy's DVD iteration.
