    OK! lets start this review by saying that this game isnt a sequal to battlefront 2!! people need to know this, this is only dice take on battlefront and lets be real here this game isnt perfect in any way but this game is good in its own way.The sound and graphics are beautiful and it really feels like im there on the battlefield of Hoth or tatooine when im fighting of stormtroopers.SureOK! lets start this review by saying that this game isnt a sequal to battlefront 2!! people need to know this, this is only dice take on battlefront and lets be real here this game isnt perfect in any way but this game is good in its own way.The sound and graphics are beautiful and it really feels like im there on the battlefield of Hoth or tatooine when im fighting of stormtroopers.Sure some of the textures are a bit of and then you realize your playing a game but this game is good.
    Ok so here is to all haters who have played battlefront 2 by pademic studios first off THIS GAME IS NOT A SEQUAL OR RELATED TO BATTLEFRONT 2 BY ANY MEANS! and lets be real here almost all the heroes in battlefront 2 had the same ability so really it was only visuals who changed.Sure you could play as your favorite hero like darth maul,yoda and mace windu but they all had the same ability.in this game all heroes has unique abilities there is none that is the same.I dont know why everybody is giving this game so bad reviews when really its a good game.Dice has really worked hard on this game and it is really casual.They have been to the same places and the movies where shot and the sound is exactly the same as the movie.Sure you cant play as a wookie or as a droid but this game is focused on the new movie.And lets be real here the game is Really balanced there is no weapon that is clearilly overpowered and the star cards that are the better ones like the jetpack has a long timer on them so its really balanced.The only problem with the game is that people dont know how to play it.
    Sure its sad that it has no solo campaign but they have really outdone themself in the multiplayer and lets be happy for ones that we have got a star wars game.It has been 10 years after the last game.    … Expand

    Okay...it's pretty. That's about it. The fact that this is a multiplayer game with no campaign mode takes it out of my sphere of interest. EA not everybody wants to play online with other people! Take a hint before you make your next multiplayer only game.

    What happened to Star Wars: Battlefront? Where is the content?

    That's a question that many people will be asking themselves after paying the premium price of 60 Euro/Dollars and having played the game for several hours. I sure hope not that many have paid the insane amount of €110,-. If you have, you have my sympathies.

    The only saving grace is that the game looks and sounds very pretty and that it has a Star Wars theme. When you would strip away the Star Wars jacked all that is left is a game that suffers from bladder problems due to it being exposed to the same cold I felt after paying the price of €60 for this product.

    12 Maps? Sounds sufficient, but in reality it's not.

    I can only speak for myself, but the main draw to this game is the Walker Assault mode. This means that you get to play 4 maps over and over again and that gets old really quickly.

    The other game modes are alright I guess, but they are not really my thing. Capture the flag and the rudimentary Death Match modes are done much better by other games. The Walker Assault mode is what should have been the main focus and maybe a secondary mode similar to it in space for instance.
    This game can't compete with the likes of Battlefield, Halo and Call of Duty, so I don't understand why DICE copy and pasted some of the game modes. That was a massive waste of time and money and the game suffers from it.

    I can already picture how the meeting went when EA bought the IP and announced to the DICE team that they wanted a Battlefront game. A picture of Battlefield was being projected in the meeting room and a "We want that, but make it look like Star Wars" was said. Such a missed opportunity.

    TLDR: Not worth €60 and certainly not €110. EA/DICE could have made something more innovative, but instead choose for the safe and simple route and ended up with a very pretty looking with great sounds but otherwise mediocre shooter. Walker Assault is fun for a short while though.    … Expand

    Let's be clear, for £50 you can enjoy the demo, the real price of this game is £100. It is a pretty good game, but far to be as good as £100.    … Expand

    I REALLY love this game. Graphics, sounds, shooting, vehicle control(only with a controller) and gameplay in general is awesome. But the game lacks content. No campaign, not much solo missions and not many online modes. Everything else is just awesome. If you had fun in walker assault during beta, you should definitely buy the game.

    Only 4 maps currently (why I took off a point) but, there are enough game modes on these 4 maps to keep it fresh. Fighter Squadron mode could be a game just by itself!
    The negative reviews are from people who decided from the beginning this game wasn't going to meet their selfish expectation of what they think the game should be. These people wanted Battlefield 4 with a Star Wars skin and when they didn't get that, they cried. Gamer's should be flexible to accept a game for what it is... and what it is, is an extremely polished Star Wars experience. It's incredible running around on Hoth or Endor experiencing those battles for yourself, which of course change with every multiplayer match. Those that claim no depth to this game, aren't willing to look for it. The types of blasters are all very different, with varying degrees of recoil, dmg models and range. the varying amount of cards you can select into the three hand combinations make for very different builds. For sure there needs to be in game voice chat and the partner/squad system sucks as it is right now. I pre-ordered my copy on sale for $45. I would easily spend the $60 non-sale price. I'm level 15 today, with many levels still to go. I'm enjoying it every step of the way and totally am succumb to the incredible Star Wars atmosphere that's been created here.    … Expand

    * There are only 4 maps. Yes you read that right... FOUR. Seriously, 60$ for FOUR maps.

    * All infantry feels the same. It doesn't make much of a difference to select different card customizations.

    * Most of the guns feel pretty much the same. Why make a blaster pistol that fires like an automatic machine gun?

    * The aiming mechanic is terrible. It is a giant circle and the blaster bolts can hit anywhere within it. If you are hoping for some sort of skill in your shot than too bad. It feels pretty much randomized. There isn't any recoil so its point, click, spray, and pray.

    * Most of the game modes are for close quarters, small team combat which this game really sucks at. They are traditional FPS modes like team death match and capture the flag, but because the terrible aiming and nonexistent character classes it's just boring.

    * Star fighter game controls are terrible, especially if you use a mouse. They feel very sluggish and delayed. There is no way to roll. The game will force you to orient so that the ground is below you.

    I could go on but I'm getting tired of writing this now. For someone who pre ordered this game and could not get a refund I'm very disappointed.    … Expand

    The graphics are great. I play on high settings with a gtx 570 which is below the minimum graphics. I cant imagine what it looks like on ultra settings, but soon I will when I get a R9 390X. The sounds in this game are fantastic. That being said, I wish there were more maps and weapons on original release. I only paid $35 for this game on CJS keys. I buy all my PC games from there and other similar sites. If I paid $60 for a game I didn't like I would be upset like most people, but if you bought it from EA then they will refund you which is fantastic.
    I am 35 and a casual PC and XBOX One gamer so I can only play about 7-8 hours a week. I just want to play a fun game that looks and sounds great with no bugs. This game gets most of that right.    … Expand

    4 times less content than Battlefront 2, it's a shame !! And despite what developers said, there was many DLC's planned before the release of the game and the price of the season pass (to be able to have a "complete game") is just a scandal. EA : Always lying and spitting in players face.

    -20 hours worth of content for 60 dollars.
    -Sugar coated visuals to make it look good.
    -Riding hard on the nostalgia train to get players.(but using the same audio files was a good decision though)
    -Badly designed vehicle gameplay
    -Hero, squad and just overall bad gameplay mechanics.

    Worst of all, even Fallout 4 has better shooter mechanics. Seriously what the f?

    - Lasers are the same color for both teams, leaving you clueless on the direction of the line of combat

    This is an amazing Star Wars, game; but an objectively terrible game. It has all these details, tiny and small that a star wars fan like myself will absolutely gush over: The fade wipe from the movies greats you on re-spawn, the sounds and insane visual fidelity make it feel like you're in one of the classic original trilogies yourself. When they make star wars episode 8 they should tell JJ Abrams to make it inside this game.

    But all that insane attention to detail and gorgeous visuals means your senses are constantly assaulted and distracted. Agency is taken away from the player at every turn. This is, in some parts, on purpose. You're meant to move forward en masse using metal storm tactics to crush your opposition. The individual soldier is worthless mostly. This makes sense, from the perspectives of the movies and that a galactic sized military would be more than willing to throw Vader-fist-fulls of soldiers into the grinder. It's awesome. However it's also terrible as gameplay design.

    You can only really move forward, your side-to-side and backwards mobility is terrible, so when you find yourself outgunned turning around a corner, you're already dead. It's intended to force you to stay with team mates. But when every player immediately equips the jetpack asap to further muddle the already blurred line of combat, you find yourself constantly surrounded with no way of keeping aware of what's going on around you.

    Punishing players for separating from the group is fine in a multiplayer, but only if you are also rewarded for staying with the team. The game does nothing to this effect. Being near teammates means that you're constantly confused by laser fire that's the same color as the enemies. Meaning that when some moron on your team behind you shoots you in the butt for no reason, you have to turn to see if you're really being fired upon, meaning the second you turn around you get shot from the front where you should have been looking.

    Not that keeping your eyes forward does ANYTHING to help your survival chances. I haven't seen this many grenades in a shooter since the early halo days. And with the ridiculous alignment toward graphical fidelity over useful visual cues it's impossible to be fully aware of what's going on even 10 feet in front of you. Shadows and bright light effects mean you're blinded while leaving or entering any building, and with all the explosions and dust effects you'll NEVER see the enemy in time to fire. Sure, kills happen, but never on purpose it feels. Not to mention when you're aiming down the sights of your pulse rifle card to snipe someone, some idiot on your team throws a grenade in your face putting your vision in a blender of brilliant, beautiful effects, but the second you might regain your sight, you're dead again.

    The slow projectile speeds, while matching the movies, makes you an ineffectual marksman at best. And when you can barely perceive the enemy through graphical clutter and detail as it is, it doesn't help that---dammit a jetpack guy got me again!!!!

    Do not play if you like shooters. Play if you love star wars, just don't expect to have a very rewarding experience from the gameplay.    … Expand

    Absolute lack of content for 60€, DLC's confirmed with the same amount of content, so it's a "DLC" for 60€. EA game = Origin DRM = sh.it.
    Conclusion: buy the definitive edition on the folowing gen for 20€.

Enemy players can get behind your spawn area, get in a turret, and just kill your team over and over and over with no way to stop it. How was that missed? 3) It is only fun if people play along. Some hide in a bush in a map and kill you when there is no chance to even see them. Is that fun? No. Some hide on top of a mountain behind a peak and step out just to snipe you, Is that fun? No. You get the idea. If everyone just plays the game.. it can be fun. But most times, someone exploits a map problem. Overall, I guess it comes down to that I love everything about this game.. except the fact that it is online. If it was a single player game, it would easily be 10/10 game of the year. Add online with the above problems, and the score falls flat. Sorry, but you can't have an online game without fixing known online issues (see racial, cursing above, map exploits, etc)… Expand

    After originally rating this game 3/10, I decided to get my money's worth and pump in a few more hours. The game rated only slightly higher than my initial impressions, but not for any good reasons.

    Star Wars Battlefront (2015) is visually stunning, and feels like a very smooth game. It also has quite a distinct "Star Wars" vibe, which is great for fans of the Star Wars franchise.    After originally rating this game 3/10, I decided to get my money's worth and pump in a few more hours. The game rated only slightly higher than my initial impressions, but not for any good reasons.

    Star Wars Battlefront (2015) is visually stunning, and feels like a very smooth game. It also has quite a distinct "Star Wars" vibe, which is great for fans of the Star Wars franchise.

    Gameplay is seriously lacking. The stronger weapons are locked by level, so the more experienced players are not going to win by virtue of their skill - they are going to win because their gun is better than yours. This is a big problem, especially because of the broken matchmaking (more on that later). There are only a limited number of guns to choose from overall, and their only difference is the damage, fire-rate, range, and cooldown speed. While the card system somewhat helps to improve arsenal diversity, it doesn't help it enough to feel memorable (at least not in a good way). It's not a matter of "who shot first" or even "who is more skilled" - it's all about who has the bigger gun.

    Previous Battlefront games did the weapon loadout thing much better, even the somewhat forgettable PSP Rogue Squadron and Elite Squadron games. In Previous Battlefront games, there were predefined loadouts that fit into certain roles - basic trooper, anti-vehicle heavy, engineer, sniper, faction specific classes. Each loadout had a role to fill, and even the faction specific classes didn't unbalance the teams. Each class could go toe-to-toe with each other class, assuming players of about equal skill level. I feel that Battlefront (2015) would have been a much better game if they copied the Rogue/Elite Squadron games when it came to loadouts. You're given a cap of 100 points, a primary weapon, secondary weapon, explosives, special item, power-up (passive or active buff), Health, Speed, Capture Rate & Stamina. All of the weapons available were well balanced so it was more about the role you wanted to fill or what playstyle you prefer, not which weapon was strongest.

    Matchmaking is horrid. There is no balancing system, and teams aren't re-balanced between matches. The team that dominated last round will do so again this round unless players leave or join the session. This is particularly punishing for new players who don't have access to better weapons. On a side note, it is fun to win games. It is very fun, in fact. The sad thing is, it's not fun to be in a game which you are losing, especially since you feel like you can't do anything to turn it around - which is often true. This shows poor balancing by the development team - a video game should be fun to play whether you're winning or losing.

    There is a variety of game modes, but the number of maps and planets are extremely limited. It's hard not to compare it to the previous Star Wars Battlefront games, especially in this regard. I have to say, this game only has superficial similarities to the previous Battlefront games. I tried to enjoy it without drawing unfair comparisons, but it falls flat in so many areas that I can't help but be disappointed in a game I had low expectations for. There is no Clone Wars era. There are no dedicated space battles. There is no Campaign, Galactic Conquest, or Instant Action game modes (all of which were equally important and fun to the original Battlefront games). There is a noticeably lower variety in maps and locations. The list goes on, but it's like beating a dead horse.

    The final thing, and possibly the nail in the coffin, is the typical EA DLC. There is a "season pass' for DLC, which costs almost as much as the base game itself. They have given us no clue as to what is contained in any of the 4 planned DLC packs. Knowing EA's history, we can likely expect features expected to be released in the base game - like Clone Wars Era, and the upcoming Sequel trilogy Era, more maps of more well-known locations, more heroes, etc. Worse, it might not contain anything we wanted and just be filled with more maps and overpowered weapons locked to high-level players.

    I may be somewhat biased in my opinions of the game, perhaps because I positively associate with Star Wars and Star Wars Battlefront, or maybe because I dislike EA. Either way, this game scores poorly in my books for a whole number of reasons, and the things it does well don't make up for it.    … Expand

    Oh yea, and if you love single player, you're out of luck. You will be given only 2 game modes (3 if you want to count the survival wave-based mode). Unfortunately, both of these two game modes suck. Additionally, there is no campaign (which isn't terrible to me since many people loved Battlefront 2 and didn't even realize it had a campaign). However, if you want to play any game mode that is worth a damn, you'll have to try online multiplayer, which I believe ultimately destroys the game over time as many people wont be playing in 10+ years or the servers will be down.

    As far as the multiplayer goes, if you're a casual gamer you probably wont have much fun here. You die in about 3-5 hits, which is average for most FPS games these days. If you are new to the game, you are at a huge disadvantage since players who have played longer have accumulated better equipment. Additionally, game modes last either way too long or way too short. In Hero's Vs. Villains you are stuck playing the same hero or villain for half of the rounds. The other half you play as a grunt. Which is stupid. I want to play as a Hero as the game advertises for the full time, not half the time. Stupid. Playing as a grunt almost all but guarantees you're not going to have a good time fighting these OP classical heroes and villains. And these rounds only last one minute.

    I could go on and on about ways this game has missed the mark. So instead of doing that, I will list the positives.

    1. Graphics are great
    2. Sound is great
    3. Tutorial Mode is ok
    4. Offline splitscreen capabilities in those two **** modes.

    Unfortunately this is where the list of pros stops. All EA had to do to guarantee success is take the old game and update the graphics. How do you screw that up? Oh, by pretending they didn't exist. Great job EA. Refund please    … Expand

    The game is download only so you don't even get a disc or box so you couldn't give it away when you're bored of it.
    Anyway to cut a long story short i played the game for 10 hours and it wasn't for me,very repetitive game play and you just know that EA will squeeze more money out of you with DLC so i got a refund which you have the right to do on Origin if you are not happy,so feel free to buy it and try it out for 23hrs then get a refund if you don't like it.
    it looks and sounds great and certainly has a starwars feel as i said but it lacks that certain something and i wont be wasting my time on it.

    Alright everyone, I'm here to express my honest opinion on this game. Ill try to keep it calm as I can, and wont rip the game a new one or anything.
    So, for a lot of people, the game was a disappointment, and it probably could have been worse, but it isn't the worst game out there. Now, for those who enjoy the **** out of the game, go ahead, I'm glad you enjoy it, but do realize there is    Alright everyone, I'm here to express my honest opinion on this game.

    So, for a lot of people, the game was a disappointment, and it probably could have been worse, but it isn't the worst game out there. Now, for those who enjoy the **** out of the game, go ahead, I'm glad you enjoy it, but do realize there is actual flaws with the game that others are irritated with. The biggest complaint I have seen is content, and I absolutely agree with this. The game becomes repetitive after a little while, and makes the game feel empty.

    Graphics/sound- This game is a great example of how graphics aren't everything. The visuals are absolutely stunning, the animations are perfect, and the sounds are on point, but that is really the biggest pro to the game or seems....which is sad.

    Co-op Survival- So as far as i can see, you can only have 1 other person with you in this mode....like really? Am I only able to have 1 friends now adays? This could have been fun as hell with 3 other friends, but i cant play if more than one is on, because why leave your friends out because of a stupid design choice?

    Maps- Now, I understand there is a decent amount of maps in the game, but I think the real issue is the lack of variety. Id prefer to have ten completely different landscapes then 4 landscapes that are slightly different on ten map. Some people don't have a problem with this, but when you think of the amazing environments they could have had...its just disappointing.

    Space battles and dogfighting- Now, what really made a Star Wars for me was the huge battles in space. Why Dice and EA decided to leave it out is beyond me. The space battles were alright in BF2, but they had so much to improve on. Flying through space in a huge firefights with explosions everywhere just was an amazing experience, and would have made this game so much better than it is now. Imagine being able to dogfight around capital ships firing lasers and cannons left and right, then landing in the hanger and engaging in huge firefights across the ship as you made your way to vital parts of this huge ship....that would have been an amazing experience. As it seems, the dogfighting is alright in the game, but seems too easy, all you need to do is lock on and hold fire, no huge outmaneuvering and aiming is really involved.

    Clones and Droids- Alright, let me just start out by saying that if you hate the clone wars due to the prequels you need to dig a little deeper. The clone wars was a huge part of star wars and the way it played out was fascinating. Dice had a huge opportunity to use the Clones and Droids in this game...but they just dumped it. For those of you(like me) who enjoyed the Clone Wars better than the Rebels and empire, all I can say is we were pushed aside and thrown into the garbage. If you dug into the lore behind this with all of its heroes and villains and all of its huge full blown battles, I guarantee you'd be impressed at many times. Taking this part out basically rips half of Star Wars out of the game, and I find this disappointing and unacceptable to a certain extent.

    DLC- I mean...really.....50 dollars of DLC planned before the game was even released? And don't tell me I can play without the DLC, as it almost doubles the content in the game(that should have been in their originally). The fact isn't that their is DLC, its the fact that it charges an extra 50 dollars(almost the cost of another game) just to make the game what it should have been. If one of my friends buys it, then ill either miss out on so much, or be forced to go throw $50 dollars in EA's face. Some people out there cant afford a $110 dollar game, and for those who can, congratulation, but not all of us want to spend $110 dollars just to get a completed game. This is a rip off, and I urge you too see this as well, EA didn't have everyone's best interest in mind when they created this.

    Overall, I think this game is meh, definitely not worth the ten years we had to wait for it, or the $60-$110 dollar price tag, maybe $30-$40 dollars for the base game. People say its a must have for die hard Star Wars fans....but I feel like that is false. For the people who love the franchise and really care about this, they wont spend all this money supporting EA, as we all know if this game makes them loads of cash, they will continue to release games after this with even less content and effort, as they find it acceptable since we shower them in our money. I could have added so much more to this review, but I feel this covers a lot of major topics(And I'm lazy AF)

    Well, I hope you all enjoyed my two cents on this game, feel free to let me know how you feel about this(whether you agree or disagree on any of the point)

    Come on people, a zero rating is basically an unplayable piece of garbage whose game disc is better served as a coaster. If you think it is a ok game give it a 5 or 6 . If it is absolutely terrible give it a 3 or 4. t isn't the best game I've ever played, but it is Star Wars and it is pretty fun while it lasts.

    Legitimate complaints that I have are how few vehicles and weapons there    Come on people, a zero rating is basically an unplayable piece of garbage whose game disc is better served as a coaster. If you think it is a ok game give it a 5 or 6 . If it is absolutely terrible give it a 3 or 4. t isn't the best game I've ever played, but it is Star Wars and it is pretty fun while it lasts.

    Legitimate complaints that I have are how few vehicles and weapons there are, as well as the "floaty" air vehicle controls. I know the Rebels don't have a lot of vehicles in the movies, but I would think they could reach into the EU and pull out a tank or something. The Empire has the AT-ST and the Rebels get... stationary turrets?

    There are 11 blasters, but they all seem to be close to medium range weapons, with an emphasis on close. I know it is Star Wars and all, but lasers having bullet time doesn't make sense to me. Having to noticeably lead shots at even a medium distance is an annoyance. It would have been nice to have close, medium and medium-long range weapons, with the long range/high power limited to star cards.

    Also, the handling for the fighters/ air speeders is just off. They're easy to fly, but in order to do anything useful in them (i.e. shoot things) it requires more skill than I've got.

    I think what would really help is if the flying sensitivity was reduced once you held down the aim button. I've got it on 20% sensitivity and while this is fine for flying it is pretty difficult to keep your aim steady. What would be really nice is to have land speeders, bombers, and fighters. Land speeders would stay much closer to the ground than they do now, bombers would have no lock-on counter-measures except aerial maneuvers and high reload time on the bombs and fighters would be adept at taking out the other two and evading lock-ons.

    For all the people saying that this wouldn't be anything special if it wasn't Star Wars, then I have to say: no crap! Any game in which the characters and setting are made generic would not be very special. That's the point. That is why it is Star Wars Battlefront and not Generic Space Marine 4000.

    As for the other complaints: Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I don't care that much about customizing the camo on my weapon, the color of my laser sight, or even the look of my player. If the game has solid shooting mechanics and is fun then it is a fun game.
    However, I am aware that this matters to some people and I respect that.

    One thing that I don't care for however is this idea that a game can't get a good rating unless it is loaded with maps and content. There is a difference between quality and value. For me this game is a 7.5 for QUALITY and a 5.5 for VALUE. This is why I think the whole practice of having a single number to represent the score for a game is fallacious. For a movie it is ok, since the value gap is no more than an hour or two, but for games, where the amount of content ranges from 5 hours to 200 hours this causes a problem.

    You can have a game that is the best freaking thing since sliced bread and yet it only lasts 5 hours, but it shouldn't be rated as if it sucked just because it was short. Yeah, this game only has 4 maps for walker assault and supremacy. There could have been 5 or 6. However, there are 9 other maps that you can play if you go out of your comfort zone a little and play 7 of the other 9 modes.

    I will say that the entire season pass phenomenon is troubling and I can certainly see that as being the main issue that people take with this game. For a game that is already borderline low on content (I don't count a non-existent single-player as one of the issues for this one), seeing that there are already four planned expansion packs at launch is really kind-of a punch in the mouth. What would be truly appalling would be if it was found out that the maps and features in those expansion packs are already complete or heaven forbid, already on-disc. This should have been a $30 or $40 game, not $65.However, I know that pricing a game that low at launch gives people the idea of poor quality right out of the gate, so it would have been best to have taken two of those expansion packs and folded them into the original product. I know they almost certainly had a deadline to get this released before The Force Awakens released and that has to be a large part of the issue here. Honestly I would have preferred for them to have released it after the movie with more content. At the very least EA and Disney should have provided more resources so that they could have gotten the extra content done on time.    … Expand

    Why Digital Illusions and EA decided to go this path with the game, I can't really guess. Maybe they just wanted to put in minimal effort, because they knew they'd get a huge return out of it. It's a reboot of one of the most beloved Star Wars games, after all.

    AND HEY THAT 50$ SEASON PASS RIGHT GUYS?

    Gameplay: 5/10 - Watered down first person shooter, very basic, and no real depth.
    Content: 3/10 - There are various game modes, but very few maps. As for weapons, they are generally all the same, some more accurate and powerful than others.
    Replayability: 1/10 - I was bored with this game within 3 days of playing it, and I am a first person fanatic, just disappointed.

    60 bucks for an overpriced, overhyped, generic shooter. Refunds needed! This is just bad. If you're looking for a decent shooter, look elsewhere. This is just another flop like Titanfall.

    -Stale gameplay

    -Lack of a campaign
    -Lack of decent voices for the actual characters from the movies

    After forcing myself through 17 hours of this sub-par attempt to cash in on a movie trying to find the fun or value in it, are we in a bizarro world where the Star Wars license games are **** I can say that there is some value here as a $25 game. The downright stunning lack of content here is just as breathtaking as the visuals and sounds, well except for the VA which is just awful and is another clear demonstration of cutting costs and time out of the development to get this game out before the upcoming movie. Seriously, this is Star wars and you couldn't even get good impersonators, what the hell is wrong with you? As mentioned the Graphics do look pretty but really that doesn't matter, just like the prequels it doesn't matter how pretty this **** looks if there is no substanance to it, and there is none.

    The lack of any sort of customization to your Rebel/Stormtrooper is barely tolerable in this day and age when that kind of control should be left up to the player so you can make your avatar a representation of you the player. Instead we are meagerly gifted some head reskins with different haircuts and at the later stages of the game the rebels can slap on some alien heads and the the empire can recolor their armor black or dress up as a scout trooper. Again, there was room here to let players be creative, to make their character their own and it was just half-assed, and that is being generous. So if you can't customize your characters you can at least customize your weapons right? WRONG. It's like we've gone back in time, your weapons are static and most of them are pointless. The only thing you can really get creative with are the loadouts, or HANDS because CARD GAMES ARE COOL RIGHT? Everything here is straightforward and doesn't really scream out any innovation, it's all stuff you've seen before elsewhere usually done better. In the end you will probably have two set-ups, Killing Players and Killing Vehicles.

    Speaking of vehicles let's talk about them and the gamemodes with them, Supremacy and Walker Assault. And the dog fight mode too I guess. These are the Flagship modes, they have the highest player count of 40, again we've seem to stepped back into the old game industry time warp where lower player counts are a good thing because **** you, and all of the goodies of vehicle combat and the tiny bipedal vehicle combat. Being in a ground vehicle means you are playing for the Empire because the Rebels can't afford them, this usually means you can go on quite a killing spree if found at the right time. Oh I forgot to mention the pick up system, because I am trying to erase it from my brain. Okay so vehicles and other power-up are scattered across the maps in little coin like forms, luckily the vehicle ones are correctly labeled the rest are random and may as well have been put into the damn loadout system. Anyway unless focused down AT-STs run wild against most everything and AT-ATs, only available in walker assault as a rail turret section, can't be damaged except at the times designated. But they vary in usefulness as you can easily hope into an AT-At, which lets you hang out in there for about 30 seconds, when it is staring at a snow wall or a hill or a bunch of really tall trees. Air Vehicles are a mess to handle and fighting other fighters in them looks and feels ridiculous. Now on to those bipedal vehicles I was talking about, no it wasn't the AT-ST, I'm talking about the heroes which are basically walking tanks, I won't go into how stupid it was to make them moron proof as they are, let's just say you will rack up a kill count as one because they kill quick and are harder to shoot. So all of that is bundled with these two modes, which might be exciting if they had more than four maps, four maps that THEY SHARE. This is inexcusable, if not downright disgusting. All the stuff left out of this game, all the corners cut and you still couldn't muster up 10 maps for the games popular modes? Are you kidding me? What the hell? That and the $50 dollar DLC pass says it all. It says that this is merely a platform for DLC, that it's so content starved seems intentional to try and make that DLC look all the more necessary for you to justify your purchase. "I can't stop playing, I spent $60 on this game I have to make it worth, better pay some more so I can enjoy it, OH NO I'm further in the hole. Help me more EA pls."

    I could go on but I just want to wash my hands of this game, I'd rather not think about it ever again other than the lesson I learned about not buying **** out of boredom. If you need this wait until they bundle all the crap together.    … Expand

    There are two major points of criticism:

    1. Lack of content
    2. Missing depth

    1. The game offers 4 different landscapes and for each of them there are multiple maps, adapted to the different modi.
    Each of the maps feels good. I have no clear favourite and no map that I particularly dislike.
    The major movie sets are all present:
    Tatooine: Desert hills and Mos Esley Hangar
    Hoth: Different parts of the rebel base and the ice desert
    Endor: Different parts of the wood and Imperial bunkers.

    Yes, I could easily think of missing maps: Jabbas palace, cloud city, death star. To make up for this there are the sullust maps.

    2. The gameplay does not have the depth of a battlefield. But depending on your weapon, your playstyle will vary. A heavy blaster doesn't feel like a shotgun.
    Tactical advantages can be felt clearly: On many maps there are elevated positions which will offer you very good field of view.
    Flanking your enemies is often possible.

    Missing depth is not a problem to me, Missing teamplay is. No squad mechanism, no way to supply your teammates with ammo or revive them. Interaction between friendly players does not exist.

    And: Missing space combat. I actually reinstalled the old battlefront to take a look at this. The old space battles feel very similar to the new flight mode. Essentially you are flying on rails. This mode isn't fun at all but honestly: How do you expect dice to implement an engaging air combat system, if the star wars universe has no proper flight physics in its lore. Look at those ships. How are they supposed to fly ? Just avoid this gamemode, play warthunder instead.

    Lets rate it:
    10 points for audio and video. Minus 1 for missing maps, minus 2 for lacking teamplay. Plus one because honestly, I haven't had that much fun with a game in a long time. Makes 8. No substraction for space combat, that was broken to begin with.

    I am tempted to give this game 10 points just to even out the bad ratings. But please, let's stop abusing the system.
    Battlefront is a very polished and extremely fun game. It's not as big as could be and it's not as strategic as battlefield.
    But it deserves better than the 4.0 average.
    8 honest points from me.    … Expand

They worked lines from the movie into other characters' dialogue to the point where it sounds like the people in the game saw Star Wars recently and are reciting lines to each other like an inside joke, while fighting Star Wars battles. "We've captured the point. ALL TOO EASY!" Han Solo recites lines we've heard in a dozen other games, but only heard once in the movies. The game wasn't written to fit in within the SW movies, it was assembled verbatim from them. Worse, it was assembled from the Star Wars movies we've seen a hundred times. Conveniently rushed to shelves in time to see a new one hit theaters in a few weeks, but we don't see any of that one here.

    The problem is that if you were to strip away the Star Wars theme from these battles and reskin it with pretty much anything else, the game is not good. Sure, it feels like the originals, but they're a decade old. There's no excuse for this game to be the least bit shallow in terms of content, but there it is. You're running around looking for glowing tokens like Crash Bandicoot looking for fruit.

    It comes down to people who are happy with what we were handed here, and the people who see what this could have been. It could have expanded on things like Jedi Knight or KOTOR, could have had gameplay options and freedom like the Arkham games did for Batman (tell me using the grapple hoist line Luke used to grenade the AT-AT, but free to use anywhere creatively wouldn't have been amazing) but instead we got the standard EA movie tie-in treatment.    … Expand

I am here instead of playing a game I looked forward too for a long time. It just isnt good enough despite some great technology and here's why.

    The engine is fantastic and personally I found it incredibly reliable with no crashes.

    The problem is, there is something about this game that feels a bit like some of the same mistakes made in hardline when it comes to game play. It lacks options and it is fundamentally NOT enjoyable. EA seem to be moving away from the open game that was BF3, BC2 and BF4 where people had a lot of customisation and gratification from on going development to a very sterile and as linear an environment as one could come up with in an FPS.

    Maps feel small in many cases and it almost a case of 2 groups of people charging at it other endlessly in silence as there is no chat of any kind. Not that you need to make a strategy here, there is very limited scope for anything but grenade spam.

    Which is just as well because the aimbotting is back with a vengeance in multiplayer. The weapons have no spread or error so aimbotting is incredibly deadly. Grenades are incredibly powerful so almost every map feels like Metro from BF4 only with more intense grenade spam.

    There is no going prone, no needed balances of classes, there are no choices to speak of and very little to differentiate you from everyone else. It feels like it doesnt want to be a game but would rather be a movie. Maps are epic looking but still they absolutely lack scope for anything tactical.

    Hero characters come and go but really, no one cares, as its a token gesture. Vehicle use is very limited and almost scripted and except for certain modes virtually non existent. Those modes being almost solely about the vehicles. Not that you can do much with them.

    There is no ping indications anywhere, so who knows and the matchmaking is not transparent and completely automatic so you have no real control.

    Some genius also decided to design all the splash screens etc with a blazing white background. Like they are trying to damage peoples eyes. So you go from creeping about in dark hangars (occasionally) to blazing white backgrounds between games. Who has so little experience that they never played games at night. This is a schoolboys error.

    I am a huge Battlefield fan so I was hoping for Battlefield in an open environment. What I got was something that feels like it was designed for consoles only. A game that should have been open and full of possibilities but someone managed to make as linear and sterile as possible. Spectacularly missed opportunity.

    I wouldn't even say its a great tech demo because the game feels so limited much of the time. I would very much like to get a refund and would not regret never playing it again.    … Expand

It wouldn't have hurt to put some more effort into close combat.

    People are not stupid. they know this stuff is already developed and should've been included in the release, disappointing to se another supposed +AAA title sold down the digital river. The game will never be worth £100, it's like a kind of macabre reverse software piracy.

It takes hundreds of bullets to take down a hero, but only last one is rewarded. You could easily be the one who damaged the hero/villain most (and yes the game keeps track of who did the most damage and shows you at the end of the game) and still, you could easily be the last person on scoreboard without any hope of winning the game.

    Customization is another joke. Cosmetically, a few different faces is the only customization choice you will ever have.

    As a game developer, I respect that they implemented the core mechanics well (except for hero controls in my opinion) but there is not enough content to enjoy those mechanics. Honestly designing a few maps shouldn't take that long. They could at least make an epic story mode and it would kick ass with these graphics, sounds but that was a wasted potential.

    I doubt DLCs will give enough content of their worth if they think that this little content in the game is worth 60€.    … Expand

    £49.99 is already expensive for the base PC game in my opinion, but the fact that it is merely a shell for paid DLC is disgusting. £95 for a game? **** off.

    A perfect game for short sessions. It’s not deep enough to convince online shooters veterans, but it will definitely win over Star Wars fans. [01/2016, p.34]

    Star Wars Battlefront looks and sounds great, and with Battlefield-class gameplay could have ruled the multiplayer galaxy. Unfortunately, at best OK-level, Battlefront-class gameplay is much too shallow to last long. And this is THE one license, which really needs a single player campaign. [Dec 2015]

    Any semblance of subtlety is abandoned entirely when it comes to the playable Hero and Villain characters. [Jan 2016, p.110]
