    MP only (battlefield with star wars paint job) game that it's not worth the money, even at $10. And they are asking for waaaaaaay more + BS DLC. EA = license abusers.

    Graphics: 10/10
    Audio:10/10
    Star Wars Theme: 10/10
    Gameplay: 1/10
    Replayability: 1/10

    I wish I would have noticed the 24 hour refund policy on EA games before it was too late. Now I have extreme buyer's remorse. This game is just awful. It has about as gameplay depth and replayability as Pac Man.

    Game is complete trash and a rip off. Not even worth your time. Nobody plays the season pass, which was $50. The weapons are extremely unbalanced and spawn points are terrible.

Not to mention the jetpack which allow players on top of the map with unlimited sniper shots. There is a bug since launch where you wont get a partner even when teams are full. This gives you a huge disadvantage from loss of points and losing a spawn point. The maps are just chokepoint after chokepoint . Hero battles are trash and clumsy. There are not that many modes and people only play walker assault on same 4-6 map rotation. The vehicles are just cards found around the map with no team vehicles nor team communication.Save your time, even if the game is free do not play it, you will just get mad after seeing this game was released for $60… Expand

    The only thing this game has going for it is the graphics.

    Looks stunning and plays smoothly, but it kind of makes me feel like I'm playing the FPS version of a GTA game that only has two roads.

    The "It's like being at Hoth" factor is undeniable. Great graphics, sounds, models... Great memories while playing. But I don't feel like playing again tonight. It's weird. But once you've tasted all... Hmmmm

    ¡It lacks a proper 1p mode and a more tactical multiplayer one!

    Uninspired, boring, repetitive.. must I continue? Star Wars Battlefront has some of the worst gameplay mechanics out of any AAA shooter I have ever played. Under its stunning visuals and great audio, lies a terrible game. Nowhere near worth $60.

    Because of the pretty graphics and decent frame rate I'll give this game a 2 rather than 0.

    I wanted this game to be good so much... But the callous greed of EA just butchered this game. It feels like this game is just a small slice of the game it's supposed to be. It has fewer gameplay mechanics, fewer playable characters, fewer maps, fewer everything (by far) than the previous games.

    It feels like this is just what we get now. We get super polished irresistible trailers and hype, followed by a half-assed, buggy game sold in a million pieces for a (frankly) disgusting total price. Oh, and if you'd pay up front that'd be great too thanks *rubs hands*

    This game has amazing graphics and sound. That's about all it has.
    It lacks content, which was cut out and will be released as DLC for the price of the game. So if you want a full game you must pay twice the price.
    Game is shallow and empty, after a few hours you will be bored.

    Ok.. so before the DLC, I was happy. I would rate it 8/10.. Now, the game becomes a pay to play, pay extra to win, so now it's a firm 1/10.

    In the new DLC, they introduce overpowered guns like EE4, cards like Disruption which instantly overheat your gun, and shock grenade that locks you on the ground for some 2 seconds even if you spam R key... And then the game starts to look so ugly.    Ok.. so before the DLC, I was happy. I would rate it 8/10.. Now, the game becomes a pay to play, pay extra to win, so now it's a firm 1/10.

    Since the day before yesterday, ppl start to jump into the enemy, use disruption card, and then rape the fking whole group of ppl up with EE4. It is not unusual for one guy to kill some 10 ppl with these overpowered sh*ts. EE4 alone is so overpowered in close combat already, 5 shoot burst with so much damage, it's two shot kill, instant kill! it rapes EE3 down to the ground, up to the sky, and then back to the ground again. Now everyone who purchased the DLC is switching to EE4, and I only managed to kill those ppl a few times using EE3.

    This is so bad. This is pay to play, pay extra to win. Fk off EA, Fk off Dice, Fk off Start War Battlefront. I played Dice games since BC2, and nvr lose my faith even playing that unfinished BF4 ffs. But today, I'm done with this. Go fk yourself with your money grabber EA, karma will fk you back soon enough.    … Expand

    Gotta say, this game made me wet just looking at the pre-release trailers. Then I played it...
    It's garbo, Disney has hijacked the Star Wars franchise so that they can conquer children's minds before they've developed in to something capable of actually discerning good quality from bad. Like the recent film, this is artistic equivalent of a crayoned park bench

    I found a clip online of someone going 66/1 in a game and went, Wow! That must've taken alot of skill, NOPE! First time I picked this up I was going 30 kills without a death every game, minimum, because I was killing children.
    It's just awful, if this is the way games are going, then after two decades of hardly missing a title, I might finally be putting down the controller

    The maps are looking big but there not, you can only play in a tiny part of them, also invisible walls and a LOT of jumping because you can not jump one time to get over a little rock, no you need like 10 times.
    Also the spawn system is stupid, you never know where you spawn, you can not pick your spawn, you have no map, just a little stupid radar icon.

Not to mention the game is now in Disneys and EA's hands so it just couldnt be any good. And yet EA surprised me once again, this game has completely no content whatsoever, they ask 70 euro for 12 maps based on 4 planets and troopers without helmets( why pay for additional models if you can just remove headgear and copy rebels heads right ?). The game doesn't feature the simples campaing and has no space battles, HELL you cant even control the AT-AT anymore, all you get to do is sit in the cockpit and shoot.

    But fear do not, cause as you can predict EA does have more content coming up, it is of course being held to ransom and you can get next 4 DLC's with season pass for 60 euro, hopefully they'll feature more than one map.

    As usual Bethesda Activision Konami and other can sleep calm at night, knowing their despicable actions against gaming community will be forgotten thanks to EA's new crude and disgusting attempt of grab of customers money with yet another shoddy release of always thinner in content popular bound to sell product everyone's been waiting for and now are again disappointed.

    If ill want to play a game actually filled with something more than run and gun Ill probably dust of some old titles like Republic Commando or Moviebattles mod for Jedi Knight 3. These are examples of properly done games.

    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]
