    Giving 0 for that game is just a sign of some kind of frustration. Either the game didn't meet your idealized expectations (because you wanted it to be a BF4 with StarWars skins), maybe you suck at it (those who said the gun play is shallow and arcade-like) or maybe because you are outraged by the EA's pricing policy. I can applaud to the last one, but it does not excuse the 0 score. JustGiving 0 for that game is just a sign of some kind of frustration. Either the game didn't meet your idealized expectations (because you wanted it to be a BF4 with StarWars skins), maybe you suck at it (those who said the gun play is shallow and arcade-like) or maybe because you are outraged by the EA's pricing policy. I can applaud to the last one, but it does not excuse the 0 score. Just for graphic, music, number of game modes and the 'feel' of the SW this game is worth solid 7. Let's address some of the most common negative comments then:
    1. Gun Play - People are complaining about the shallow gunplay - but you are shooting a laser. There is no bullet drop, there is no air resistance or gravity. This is exactly the way it should be. Of course these rays should be invisible if we are sticking to the reality, but this is SW reality, so they are visible. Also some complain about explosives being overused and laser fight is not that important. This is due to the fact they never spent much time with the game. On level 25th I don't use any explosives (apart Ion Torpedoes on some maps - but they are strictly AT). And that actually made my stats to soar up. Grenades are easy to dodge with the jet pack and mastering your favorite blaster is much more beneficial (alas not an easy task).
    2. No Single Player. This is just a lie. The single player is there. As well as simple co-op game. I suppose we will see more modes for them with the first DLC. However there is no story mode (which I never play anyway - especially with Dice games)
    3. Poor balance - This is the game which is by default unbalanced (especially the Walkers Mode), and thanks to that it doesn't feel like the generic shooter. Leaving alone the Walkers mode the unbalance is coming from the fact that empire have some vehicles, while rebels have only fighters. This is due the SW lore. On the other hand the storm troopers are not camouflaged in any way (apart of the snow maps where the shining whiteness is beneficial), while rebels are blending more with the background on all maps. This may not be a big difference for players which played for few hours but after 24 hours in the game you can feel the difference and actually I prefer to play the rebels. Also the feeling of imbalance may come from the fact that some players didn't play beta (or played it very shortly). Those who played it to the max had a terrific head start on the first few days.
    4. No customization. I'm a big fan of guns customization so some small additions would be nice (like light/sound suppressors for beams for example). However thanks to the arcade style of the gun fight it is not a necessary feat, especially that the skill cards are actually making up for it and I wouldn't be surprised if the beam suppression wouldn't come as a skill card with some DLC. Skin customization is not as important for me, however taking off the helmets from the stormtroopers seems daft. According to the Imperial Regulation no. 778 no trooper can take off his helmet during the action :P.
    5. No team play features. This is not a huge problem for me as my favorite game play is long range. But I think team of 4 would be better, especially for rebels in the walker assault mode.
    6. Not enough content. I think that creating these 4 worlds to the tiniest detail was a pretty good job, but additional 2 worlds would make that better. Fortunately they are coming free with the first DLC (for these who pre-ordered the game). 6 big maps + many mods will make it good enough for the price. I don't think additional weapon will make much difference, however some additional hand cards probably will let for some more customization of the gameplay style.
    7. The PRICE. It depends on you expectations. I played beta so I got exactly what I expected. Already more than 25 hours in the game, it payed for itself as I had a great fun.

    In total - this is the game which is really easy to play but also really hard to master. It is the kind of the game I was missing from the library. Something you switch on to rest from your stressing job. It doesn't need as much thinking and planning as Arma or BF, no team expectation stress like in CS:GO. If I wanted a great single player mode, I would play Fallout 4. With Battlefront you just simply switch it on and kill foes. It makes it very casual, but so what? Games are played for the pleasure. And I still have all these other games if I wanted something else.
    Normally I would give it a 9, but to fight the trolling I'll give it 10.    … Expand

    Everyone saying "this game is crap and don't have single player campaign!", but...when Battlefront series have a campaign in the past (at least a good one)? That's right...
    I bought this game few weeks ago and i didn't expected that this game will be so much fun!

    The game:

    Pros:
    great sound
    great graphics
    great feeling

    This game does what i want it to do as a STAR WARS FAN! This is exactly what i expected. SWBF 1 and 2 were great back in the day but i DO NOT need galactic conquest or space battles. I have survival mode and i have air combat battles. What's the problem!? Who played the originals for the single player botmatch garbage anyways? Take off the nostalgia goggles folks!

    If you want a game to play casually, in a beautifully and authentically created star wars universe, THIS IS FOR YOU. If you want hardcore and competitive multiplayer, look elsewhere. And If you want an in depth single player experience...why the hell would you get this game, they said from the beginning this was only multiplayer.

It is truly an incredible feeling to play as part of your team across the impeccably detailed maps blasting away at your opponents on foot or within a vehicle like an x-wing or AT-ST. I would pay the $100 merely for the walker assault game-mode, let alone all the others. I am a Star Wars fanboy, and I think that is who the game is targeted at. Being able to be part of Star Wars battles is really what makes it enjoyable for me, and I think the reason people are giving bad reviews is because
    a) They don't love Star Wars.
    OR
    b) They were expecting the game to be like previous versions of battlefront.

    3) Quality Quality Quality. Graphics, Sound, Design, everything is top Notch A++++ very engaging, and true/authentic to the movies

    4) No Single Player. I couldn't disagree more with this point, the point of a "campaign" is to tell a story, but here's the thing, the original SW trilogy has already been told. So instead, we get iconic recreated single player scenes a.k.a "Missions" that perfectly allow you to replay these scenes. The speeder race level is as good as any campaign mission. I find them to be infinitely more entertaining than a contrived campaign.

    And finally it's a "dice" game. If you like battlefield, you'll like battlefront. And of course the opposite is true. Do yourself a favor and give this game a chance, I really enjoy it, and am almost rank 40 in MP, and it has been the most fun leveling experience of any MP shooter I've played in recent years.    … Expand

Battlefront feels much more like real battles with a mission, where everything hinges on whether you take that particular point or not.

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.

Yes they could've introduced more out of the original box but we're getting 5 more expansions and I don't mind paying extra. On it's own, the game has blown me away with the gameplay and graphics.

I haven't played any previous Star Wars games and was on Battlefield 4 until now but man they really did a fine job. The only thing missing is a campaign, Darth Maul and more maps and weapons (which will come soon).… Expand

    no lag.
    no fps drops on mediocre hardware at max graphics.
    a myriad of game modes, its hard to get bored with so many options
    meta game is somewhat shallow but its unique and new so I'll let that one go
    visuals are amazing, sounds are amazing
    I recommend it

    I find it interesting how many people complain that this game is a cookie-cutter shooter with little depth and say that it's not worth it, but then go and praise all of the CoD and Battlefield games and pre-order them and blah blah blah. It's a multiplayer shooter... just like the rest of them... so go and have fun with it.... if you want a game with depth go play Undertale or something.I find it interesting how many people complain that this game is a cookie-cutter shooter with little depth and say that it's not worth it, but then go and praise all of the CoD and Battlefield games and pre-order them and blah blah blah.

Either way, this is one of the most immersive Star Wars games I've played and most of that is because of the beautiful environments and the movie-perfect sound effects. I'm not even a big fan of FPS games and I'm having a blast playing this and just feeling like I'm inside the Star Wars universe (which this game does wonderfully).… Expand

    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]
