    Good visuals. Gets boring quickly once the novelty wears off. It's really getting frustrating how game companies are shifting over to releasing 1/4 finished games at a full $60 price only to promise a complete game for the purchase of DLCs.

It has very little customization and what it does have is stupid, very few of the weapons are actually useful (again it has very little of them), which all makes the game modes seem bland. It would have been AMAZING if they had a single player campaign as well given the graphics but there is no sign that was even an idea they had.

    This game feels incomplete and has very little resemblance to the original battlefronts. I only hope the DLC can fix some of this but I doubt it.    … Expand

    Game sounds and looks incredible. thats where my praise ends, the beta was false advertising for a shallow game with nothing to offer. No Campaign, lack of maps, lack of game modes, and painfully slow progression that will make you grind more in than a Free to play game.

    If it had been released 5 years ago it might have been up to standard but Battlefront goes out of its way to abandon most of the innovations made in the FPS genre since BF2. Mostly this is a run an gun game with almost no regard for incorporating game physics or interaction with the environment.

    Just another generic shooter, it doesn't have the spirit of the original Star Wars Battlefronts. The cancelled Battlefront 3 looked so amazing, it's a huge shame that it was cancelled. If they had released that game and renamed this one Star Wars Battlefield then all would be good but don't advertise a new Star Wars BattleFRONT when it isn't that.

    The graphics are good but as usual EA boned everyone with releasing a game with no content and having a ridiculously expensive season pass (This season pass BS needs to go).

Let's start with the obvious in that there is no single player campaign or Galactic Conquest, and prequel content is made to sit on the sidelines this time. This means that genuinely cool planets and heroes can't be included because DICE and EA have either limited themselves or been limited by Disney.

    Gunplay is bland, with little to no recoil. Vehicles are clunky and hard to control on some maps (of which there are disappointingly few), and there are only three heroes per faction. Overall, I am disappointed by this game.

BF2 espacially had very good replayability mostly because of it's galactic conquest mode.EA is a fool to deny this group their singleplayer campaign and galactic conquest(i was a huge fan of the galactic conquest mode in BF2 and am playing it still because of the lack of a proper successor). a better name for this game would be STAR WARS BATTLEFIELD.

    2. focus on graphics: by focusing on graphics they didn't spend enough time fleshing out the mechanics. not mentioning repurposing envirmonents from BF1 & 2, well at least working from them. what keeps a gamer in the game is not the graphics it's the gameplay for multiplayer and the story for singleplayer. craphics come second at best. noone want to play a game that has holes in it's gameplay.

    There is a perfect word for this game: HONEYTRAP. beatilfull on the outside but shallow once you get to know it.    … Expand

    The graphics are nice but horribly lacking in content. It might as well be called Star Wars: Walker Assault because that's the only thing worth playing and the three maps offered get stale real fast. Definitely doesn't compare to the earlier entries in the series.

    Star Wars Battlefront is a decent game from a multiplayer perspective, unfortunately though there just isn't much to this game.

Sadly this new game falls short from living up to the expectation of it's predecessor.

    Pros:
    -The game has great graffics you can see very good details in everything and the storm trooper battle armor was highly detailed.
    -The game is a fun shooter nothing really to special about its just another shooter with some vehicles.

    Cons:
    -Not as good as the much older PS2 version!
    -The maps are small
    -You have less freedom of movement, many maps funnel you instead of letting you move about freely throughout the battlefield which completely destroys any strategy
    -No space battles, many like myself loved the space battles from the older game. They really could have done something amazing if they had taken the time to add that in
    -No Single player campaign and no Galactic conquest. 100% multiplayer, as much as I love multiplayer its fun every now and then to play a single player campaign
    -You cant just go and jump in a vehicle if you want to you have to find a vehicle marker which is like playing where's Waldo. then once you get the marker you disappear off the battlefield like a ghost?
    -Very little vehicle action at all, your lucky to see more than 2 AT-ST's at the same time, the air vehicles are about the same maybe 4 to 6 in the air at one time and the air space you can fly is usually very small.

    After waiting of years for a new Battlefront to come out I'm disappointing at the results. I expected more especially from the creators of one of my favorite games, Battlefield 4. This game feels dull in comparison to its much older counter part! How is it that a game that was made in 2004 is more fun than this game?    … Expand

Its like Im Mr. Roboto jumping in a desert, forest or arctic wasteland. The rogue squadron aspect of the game is coo thol, but gameplay in the cockpit is limited to online play.

    Overall, I am SO disappointed! If you played the original battlefront, go back! There is no space battles, I unlocked all the weapons in about a day, the character model unlocks all suck, you can't upgrade or modify the weapons like they said you would be able to, (like in Battlefield 3) and there are only 3 worlds (Endor, Hoth and Sullist). It looks like they put together the bare-bone-basics just to sell sell sell! The season pass costs $49.99 and I can't believe I WAISTED $69.99 on the preorder.

    I did not have an unreasonable notion of how the game would be before it's release. I played Star Wars Battlefront 1 & 2 back in the day, and hoped it would be similar, but with more upgrades, weapons and starfighter modes. (I especially loved the space battles) This game is a huge step back! It was like buying the Beta for $70.00.

    There's no story mode, instead you have solo and co-op missions, which have no value after you've played once. Beyond that you have 9 online game modes, 7 of which are completely useless, and 4 maps at launch, which is just abysmal. At this point that $50 season pass (yes it's really $50) should be free. Free EA.

    But this game is also missing the incredible moments you get from playing Battlefield. By the time you've played for 5 hours, you've already experienced everything that can happen, so there becomes less and less replay value as you go. Now I know what you're thinking: what about the heroes? I'd have to agree. Playing as the heroes, like Darth Vader, it looks awesome. This is probably the most unique thing about this game, but every time I finally get to play as a hero, the match is over within 45 seconds, like every DICE game ever.

    Verdict:
    For a game in serious lack of variety, this is a huge oversight. Star Wars Battlefront is one of the most frustrating kinds of games. It's a concept with such huge potential that falls so flat upon release. It's shallow, it's dull, and you gotta pay $50 bucks to get more maps.

Don't trust them. They are lying. You have to be honest! Where is the honesty? They have obviously received money from EA to write a good review for SWBF3. But no, they are not having that.

    1. No campaign/story mode/Galactic conquests. SWBF1 and 2 have it. It's not great, but it's there.

    2. Lacking in Single Player content. Not much you can do with Single player. Repetitive. You don't even have the 40+ AI big battles like you do with the previous games.

    3. Only 5 planets(maps). Really? Even SWBF 1 has 15+

    4. No prequels. It's fun to play as clonetroopers/battledroids. Of course, maps too.

    5. No classes. In SWBF1, you can play as scout troop, rebel pilot... Here, just infantry.

    6. No vehicles. Seriouly. What? Unless you play specific modes, otherwise, the regular battle is just on foot. Even SWBF1, you can hop on ATSTs, X-wings, speeders... in just regular maps! And no Tauntauns in Hoth?

    7. Less heroes. Only 6? 10+ heroes in SWBF2. The controls are better too.

    8. No 3rd army. In SWBF1, you have Ewoks, Gungans, Wookies, Jawas, Sandpeople... Even Rancor!

    9. No 40+ AI game modes.

    10. No Command posts. I think that's just a good game mode, should have included it.

    11. The higher ground. You will be begging for the jetpack to recharge constantly. You jump, you fall back down. So bloody annoying. Then, you wait for probably 30 seconds before you can try again.

    12. My matching sucks **** The server is dead, only 5% for the Jakku map? Only 20% for the regular battles. I want to play a full room with 40+ players. My experience anyway.

    Not to mention, overly overpriced. I mean, come on... Is that all you can offer. Here are the good sides though.

    1. Awesome graphics. 10/10. Spectacular. Amazing.

    2. Great sound effects. The voice acting is a bit weird. Han Solo says Things I can do for that princess. So cheesy... Damn.

    3. Air battles are cool, but no space battles. I think the targeting system is a splendid idea, but the controls are not as great.

    4. Multiplayers are good. Walker Assault mode, Supremacy mode... Why not have them in the Single Player?

    5. Sweet cutscenes. But what happened to the story????

    All I can think of. So how can it possibly get 7+? Either because you are not honest! Or you have not played the previous games. Play them and then you will realised how lazy this one is.

    I mean if you want to be lazy, you might as well just re-skin SWBF2, so at least we get the great gameplay with better graphics. Simple as that. Then add the Ep 7 stuff as DLC.    … Expand

    Cons:
    - Hitboxes, they are HORRIBLE, you will be behind cover, not an inch of you poking out, yet a blaster bolt kills you by flying half a foot away from you
    - Heroes/Villans, they are extremely unbalanced, Rebs get two with Blasters that that can just strike from afar, the only good Villain is Boba Fett, but most people suck as him, they act like a regular Stormtrooper with him (in this game you gotta use him as a SNiper to be effective). Oh sure, Palpatine can heal other Villains...... but only *30* Health while Leia heals herself and heroes to *100*. Then you have Luke running around dodging blasters while Vader is tanking, but when he gets constantly hit, it drains his health, killing him.
    - Loadouts
    - Blasters, horribly, HORRIBLY, designed, and they get worse with every update, you get two Machinegun like blasters (forgot what that kind of blaster is called) almost when you start out, so you have level 5 people mowing you down in a hallway due to spray and pray, the EE-3 for regs is a POS, but the DL-44.... OP, OP, OP, I catch people SNIPING with it EFFECTIVELY! A Sniper Pistol! Then in CQC, two shots you die, literally, the first shots takes away 50 health, unless it;s upper torso, then 75, and head = dead unlike EVERY other weapon except the shotty.
    - Star Cards, horrible idea to begin with
    - No real Sniping (Star Cards Half-A** it)
    - Blast Radius, you see this tiny little explosion, yet you die from it being 15 yards away like it landed at your feet wtf
    - Dog Fights, unbalanced, Rebs have better tech then the Imps (lore-breaking)
    - Walker Assualt, HAHAHAHAHAHA Good Luck winning as the Empire, it's easy for the Rebs to win on the first two Stations since they just keep getting more and more Y-Wings as they hold them, the Imps have to take BOTH to get rid of the Y-Wings, one isn't good enough, plus the Rebs can attack the AT-ATs on their own when the attack commences, including with Starfighter pickups and Snowspeeders with tow-cables
    - Endor, I get it, it's famous, but the Rebels get camo where they can blend in almost 100% fine, while the Empire sticks out like a yellow pimple on the tip of your nose
    - Matchmaking is Horrible, worse than most Battlefield games (and I LOVE those games)
    - Team mates seem to have missing brain cells half the time, all they do is Rush head on, sometimes not even firing
    - Spawns are Horrid, there are about two or three spots on each map your team can spawn at, so it's easy to get Spawn Trapped
    - DeSync, De-synchronization, basically the worst lag, in some games it will always kill you, just play or watch ARMA, this happens a lot in this game, even if you have perfect Internet Connection
    - Can get stuck trying to run across a Small rock and can't mantle over even simple objects
    - Many, MANY more....

    Pros:
    - Star Wars

    Another **** game of this generation. Deathmatch, instant respawn, 0 strategy, PLASTIC PLAYABILITY.
    You only need 15 minutes to feel the repetitive that this game is. Don't buy this game, don't buy a game for the gameplay, play the game before buy.

    P.S: I LOVE STAR WARS, BUT I LOVE GOOD GAMES TOO AND THIS IS A PIECE OF **** I want my money back.

    I do another review for this game because the game was starting to really piss me off. It's so repetitive, it's unbalanced,boring and so tedious. If you want a good battlefront game go buy battlefront 2 on steam or buy fallout 4, Rainbow six. Just everything else but not this piece of ****

The graphics are incredibly beautiful but the gameplay lacks depth. There are only four maps to play, which are also incredibly small. I'm annoyed by not being able to explore the maps. DICE spent as little time as they could on the single player mode and I hate online video games. It's basically a gimmick to force you to spend money on PSN-Plus. Sony's probably thinking, "Hey, if you don't have PSN Plus, you can't access the majority of the game content, so we're going to package PS4s with a game that you can only play online." Bologna, I say.

    If you've got the system already, I would only buy this game if you are obsessed with first-person-shooters and multiplayer. If you are expecting any depth, I'm sorry to say this isn't a game for you. Playstation really needs to either make PS4 totally backwards compatible or make new versions of the original battlefront and battlefront ii for PS4. Because, quite frankly, my PS2 is getting old and sluggish.

    Things EA Battlefront lacks:
    1) Storyline
    2) Interesting maps
    3) Space battles
    4) Singleplayer playability (minimal selection of game modes)
    5) Splitscreen playability (minimal selection of game modes)
    6) Federation vs Republic
    7) Did I mention Depth???

    Oh yeah and there's no Galactic Conquest. That was always my favorite part of Battlefront II...

    I would say this game is probably worth about $20. Don't spend $60 on a game like this unless you are obsessed with multiplayer FPSs. Video games have so much potential as a form of art -- combining literature, graphics, and interactivity. Pure FPSs miss the literary and interactive aspects. Then again, maybe I'm not like most gamers... I still play Myst :P    … Expand

    I knew this would happen the moment it was announced that EA would be releasing a Battlefield game.

    Negatives (which there are many), limited maps, very limited characters, limited game modes, Season Pass (that costs as much as the game itself) that does not tell you what you will actually be getting!

    The controls of the fighters are terrible and not having any space battles in a star wars battlefront game is practically sacrilege!

    Its these types of business practices that earn EA a ton of money but also the scorn and hate of every gamer.

    I get that EA needed to get Battlefront out of the door in time for the the force awaken's but releasing a game in such a limited state only hurts the franchise as a whole but we all know that EA will have made a solid chunk of cash from all the kids wanting to play a Star Wars game after seeing the movie.

So when I heard they were making a new Battlefront, I was beyond thrilled. I knew they couldn't possibly mess it up because at the very least, all they had to do was give battlefront 2 new graphics and I would love it (obviously I expected more).

    They messed it up...

    It's incredibly depressing to say that they gutted all the variety and ingenuity that made the original battlefronts so unique. What is left is a game with little variety, and lacking in content.

    To start, there are no classes anymore. This would be alright if the blasters weren't so similar. There are currently 11 primary blaster, and many feel very similar. The main modes, walker assault and supremacy only have 5 maps. There is only empire era (episode 4-6). The new space battles take out all the things that made the space battles of battlefront II so great, to the point where it's not even worth playing them at all. The vehicles are very limited and rarely add much to a battle. Just, nothing feels unique anymore and is lacking any variety. Battlefront II, a game that came out 10 YEARS AGO, should not be the game with this much more variety and content. I could go on for hours comparing everything in this game and how battlefront II did it better, but it would take too much time to come full circle to what I have already said, the original battlefronts were better. What's even worse is EA/DICE already have announced their DLC WHICH COSTS 50$!?!?!?! If in some fantasy world, these DLC make the game an actual full game, that means I would be paying 110$. That's an atrocity.

    The ONLY thing I can say about this game is that it has some of the best graphics I have ever seen. This might be the most visually impressive game ever created.

    Overall, the new battlefront is incredibly depressing and not worth 60$. It's probably not even worth 30$ in its current state. Those who haven't played the, far superior, predecessors, you may get a solid 5 hours of enjoyment out of this. For those, like me, who have logged countless hours into the old games, you will most likely find yourself incredibly disappointed and probably a little dirty knowing you paid full price for this shell of a game    … Expand

The way the game looks, sounds, and runs is just beautiful. Battles go on at a smooth 60fps every time. But to be really honest with you all, that is the ONLY great thing the game has going for it.

    The provided game modes feel fun during the first 2 hours of playing the game, but over time they just get boring. The Heroes Vs. Villains mode's main problem is that the entire game only provides you with 6 characters from each side: Rebels and Imperials. The people voicing the Hero and Villain characters? Pathetic imitations of the original actors. The only guys doing a good job are the guys voicing Han Solo and Luke.

    Every battle just feels COMPLETELY simplified. A massive step backward from what Battlefront 2 achieved so many years ago. How simplified is it? To hop into an AT-ST or Snowspeeder, you need to find a little token located somewhere in the middle of the level. Same way goes for playing as Heroes and Villains during normal battles. There's also no more space battles. Once again, LACK of content.

    The whole "Emote" system is completely useless. You'll probably only use them once or twice, and that's it. Customizing your own soldier is also a complete joke. You're only provided preset faces, and that's it.

    I find it sad and infuriating how EA is just pushing all these games to come out and be sold to the public audience, without even thinking about wether or not the game feels like a polished and finished product. And the fact that they think selling us DLC or Season Passes can fix all the "lack of content" problems, infuriates me even more. The game looks drop-dead gorgeous, yes, but that's just it. No single player campaigns, a lack of fun and exciting multiplayer modes, and an extremely INSULTING price tag, makes this game a complete waste of hard earned money.

    Normally I would be ok with people having their on views on a game, good or bad. But this time, I really want to urge EVERYONE reading this review: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. This is NOT the Battlefront 3 anyone has expected to play, and it is NOT worth $60 to get.

    I got this for my birthday. I was waiting all year to play this game. After I played the game for the first 3 hours, I kid you not, I dropped tears. I was expecting true BF3, not a simplified turd built for casuals.

    To Electronic Arts: How dare you? You should be absolutely ASHAMED of yourselves. Releasing this piece of turd and naming it "Star Wars: Battlefront EA" makes me feel sick of calling you a game company. What ever happened to "Challenge Everything", eh?! Now, all you do is make the same old sports game every damn year, with the only difference being the added roster, and the game title! That's no challenge! Battlefield is a WONDERFUL game franchise, yet you constantly annoy us gamers with pre-order bonuses and paid DLC, all for the sake of more cash! When you and DICE first announced that you guys were going to release the new Battlefront, I was excited. "These are the guys behind Battlefield," I said. Immediately, I thought that you guys would make something like Battlefield, but with a Star Wars re-skin. Jump-in and Jump-out vehicles, Large scale battle locations, and absolute environmental destruction. What I got for my birthday was something WAAAAAYYY below Battlefield's standards! GOD DAMN YOU, ELECTRONIC ARTS. You are a DISGUSTING example of a game company, and I hope that this "reign of wealth and power" you're having right now ends VERY soon. I will never support you anymore, EA. You are filthy, greedy, and a complete embarrassment to the gaming industry. You, Activision & Konami are currently VERY high on my hate list. If you were a dead buried man, not only would I spit on your grave. I would spit, puke, and defecate on your grave, just to show how much of a FILTHY company you are.

    Yea this isnt that, not even close. and if i had got this while it was half price i would of most likely punished myself in some of the most creatives ways.... this i wont go into, but to give you a lowdown of the pros and cons.

    Pros.
    Its Star Wars... pretty self explanatory really
    A lot of game modes - ranges from normal TDM to objective based modes.
    Hero feature is fun, although i cant help think this will role into a "pay for different heroes" in the future.
    Has the base Battlefield feel to maneuvering weapon selection.

    Cons.

    No VOIP or anyway to communicate to your team other then pointless emotes. when your playing with anohter 19 players you want to be able to call that absolute crank on your team..well an absolute crank! very frustrating.
    If you are lucky enough to have a friend, dont get to happy about the partner system because halfway through the round battlefront will decide your partner, the only other person in you PSN party isn't sufficient, at which point it will give you some random partner, who due to Con 1 you cant communicate with.
    Fighter Squadron - what an idea, Tie Fighters Vs X Wings.....sounds cool right? it is, if your the x WIng or A Wing, this mode is ridiculously imbalanced, and i dont use ridiculously lightly, if your losing games as the rebels you probally shouldnt be playing games full stop.
    Appearance-- Well, if your a rebel and your playing in the Endor map, worry not your pretty much invisible, vice versa if your imperial on a snow map, blend right into well everything.
    Latency - Well i have had 0 issues with any other game online, including The Diversion Beta - worked fine, Battlefront thoo.. Jesus server are a joke!
    Download v Disc - i have the game installed directly to the PS4 hard drive, my friend was silly enough to buy it full price as a disc, turns out if you spent the extra £30.00 on the disc your game loads twice as fast, with baffles me.

    It has good graphics but the game is very repetitive incomplete and does not deserve a good rating for an online game that used massivo hurts franchise star wars

    I wish I could give this game a negative score; this game isn't worthy of the Battlefront name. It is easily the least fun shooter I've ever played. Graphics are worthless if the game isn't fun.

    The original Battlefront games were (still are) a blast and had almost infinite replay value. BF2 on Xbox360 was one of the most fun games I've ever played.

This game is not really Battlefront at all, it's Battlefield with a Star Wars skin. I feel robbed. I will probably never buy another EA game because I feel so ripped off.    … Expand

    this suck in some many ways, and of course ea want us to keep buying dlc. There is no campaign and this is because they want the launch day match with the movie. I was waiting a long time for a good battlefront, i could wait more. Dont buy this

    The graphics and visuals on this game are perfect. Literally one of the best looking games I have played. Terribly disapointed and wish I would have got a physical copy on pre-ordering instead. I would have gave the original games 2/10, because the gameplay is literally nothing like the original star wars battlefronts. Dice / EA left out the biggest mode from the originals Conquest.

Which makes no sense since it's also Dice's biggest mode in all of their battlefield's. The game looks good, but that's literally all it has going for it. I would say 4/10 as some of the DLC fixed the original games problems, but it was too expensive and being charged for them to fix their terrible game is unacceptable.… Expand

    Extremely low effort cash-grab POS that is an insult to Star Wars AND the original REAL battlefront franchise.

    No campaign mode, no space battles and most of the maps are gutted from the release version. Not enough content, unless you shell out $110 ? Thanks EA...

    Terribly casual in every way. Obvious cash grab the like of which Destiny wish it could have been. Also more casual than Call of Duty could ever hope to be. Looks pretty, sounds good, but the overall gameplay is absolutely boring unless playing with friends.

    The different guns are pointless, aiming down the sights is pointless, no depth, gets boring fast. definitely not worth 60 bucks. A real shame because i really wanted to like this.

    As a Star Wars and videogame lover since the 80's I was very hyped with the possibility of receiving a great SW game. The result: I was strongly mistaken. The game has good graphics and SW treatment but it lacks from the rest. Only multiplayer, no story at all, 40 ppl shooting everywhere, 4 sceneries, etc. A poor game that couldn't be more casual, as any Wii game. Dark times for hardcore gamers...

    Don't waste your money on this one guys, please.
    1.) Match requires no co ordination among the players. Feels more like COD then BF
    2.) They have messed with the auto aiming it seems, its insane how you can take out enemies at long rage without zooming. 3.) EVERY GUN FEELS THE SAME. BF is lot better then this CR*P 4.) And don't get me started on the content. Seriously EA seriously, you    Don't waste your money on this one guys, please.

Seriously EA seriously, you really think every time you come out with season pass as the game launches, people won't know that you take out content from the complete game and release them later as DLCs (well i bought the game so i guess the jokes on me)
    @ DICE - Ur Stroy telling ability for FPS already su*ked and now you have stop trying
    There is a reason why EA got worst company in the world award, past couple of years by "Consumerist" (i think last year it was comcast, not sure). When you make a game and break it into pieces and sell them @ full price, hatred from consumers comes naturally. And as lot of reviewer have already mentioned before, this is becoming a trend now (looking at you, Ubisoft! ) - only multiplayer @ full price.    … Expand

    It's not the most complex shooter, but it's the ideal pick-up-and-play experience for Star Wars fans. Stunning environments, solid shooting and immersive sound design mask the shortcomings. [Jan 2016, p.82]

    With the new film of the space opera saga finally on the big screen and the release of Battlefront's new sequel, both after a decade overdue, it is definitely the best time to be a Star Wars fan. The game itself is a dream-come-true for fans, and the Star Wars spectacle is strong in this one. However, if it is depth and longevity you seek... this is not the game you are looking for.

    Spectacular production values help to make this game enjoyable in the early going, but it soon enough shows that it is painfully lacking in terms of maps and depth in its current form. [Issue#265, p.72]
