    Graphics are undeniably good, this is true, and it's fun to be tooling about the Star Wars universe. But there's just no way around it: this game is boring. You've pretty much seen it all after an hour of playing. Beyond that, it's just more of the same. Most expensive 1-hour of gameplay ever!

    Good game, but stupidly overpriced.

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

    Overall this is a game worth trying once the price drops to about $20 since that is about as much content as you get.

    First, allow me to address the positives here. Or positive, rather:

    -The game is absolutely stunning visually and in sound design.

    The rest is unfortunately mediocre at best. 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.

    One last thing I forgot was that it was promised there would be no DLC, and then now there's a 50 dollar Season Pass. Knocking a couple points off for that one.

    The same old, same old.

    The game is good, but once again EA rips out content to sell it to you as DLC. The game would have been great with all the content left, even worth the $60 or more. But we get a shallow game and are forced to buy DLC if we want the full experience.

    The graphics are great. The sound is great. But as this is not a complete game, I cannot give it a complete score.

    I love Destiny cos its a level playing field. U gotta earn the best guns via PvE and specific missions out of the PvP modes. Never did i feel i was at a disadvantage unfairly.

    This game though, complete rubbish. DO NOT BUY. I was like u too, reading all these bad reviews, thinking it cant be that bad
    It IS bad. Super greedy company. $110 at launch, and still with microtransactions. Unbelievable.

    I paid $19 for this a year later and still am pissed that i fell for the Star Wars hype. Dammit!

The game looks fantastic and plays really well, mechanically its a masterpiece. The blasters all control like you think they should, with no gun really outshining all of the others, and all the vehicles are a blast to fly around it or drive. But there is something darker here. Theres only 4 maps in the game, no joke. You have 2 maps for each planet, but because 1 map on each planet is designed for the **** death match modes no one will play you only see one of them. And of the 4 maps in the game only 2 are worth playing in my opinion. The game gets old really fast... really fast. Like 5 hours. And you didn't buy a 60 dollar game for 5 hours worth of fun. All of the game is hiding in the dlc that costs 50 **** dollars. So at the end of the day don't buy it. Its not worth the money. At the same time mother**** EA is pushing a 110 dollar game with enough content to fill maybe a 40 dollar one from the late 2000's people like Bethesda are putting out a 60 dollar game that feels like it has all the DLC included. Don't buy it, just pirate it and find a way to work around the blocks EA has put up. I know it's illegal, but buying the game is basically letting EA steal money for you, and if you have bought the game, don't buy the DLC and if you can return the season pass. No one else will be playing it and you will have spent 110 dollars on a MULTIPLAYER ONLY game with empty servers, and that will be a damn shame. Expand

    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. I give this game a 4/10 in it's current state.

    The Good: Graphics are amazing, sounds are amazing, and the game can be really fun with no server issues.

    So basically the game is dry and they skimped out on a lot, compared to Battlefront 2 and Dices Battle Field games I feel they gave us way less then what we expected from the pass. The maps are all great but there's not many of them. I see other ppl comments and I really don't understand why game creators don't listen to fans. Looks like Dice is slowly turning into C.O.D.

First off unless you're playing a more popular game mode you'll struggle to get into smaller ones which is a pain in the ass. But when you do find a match you're not going to have much fun, the way guns work is stupid since by the time you kill one person your guns overheated and his friend has killed you. This game is bargain bin fodder and as long as you don't have high expectations for the game you might salvage some enjoyment. Eh.

    -These controls are annoying. I love how after I use the jump pack I just instantly Melee for no reason
    -You can't interact with the things in the map or go any place you should go(Like for example you cannot shoot Jawas for some reason but you can totally jump on top of the giant vehicle they own).

    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?

    "The EA Strikes Again"

    Another example of a big name company building a fantastic platform then stripping the final product down to bare bones so they can scalp the complete experience to us through later DLC's. Imagine a kindergartener being given a 64 count box of new crayons. Now watch them open the box only to find the yellows and pinks included. That pretty much sums up the deal

    Asking 50$ for a season-pass for a game which has not enough content at release is not fair!

Weapons are all just point and spray/ very little burst needed only on long ranges, this game has nothing after a few hours for any serious gamer as it's far to easy, and if you have some skills as an FPS player you will find this a turkey shoot, so no real challenge. You can easily lvl once/twice each time you play one map, unlocks make no real difference.

    Not for me. Needs some of the Star Wars magic, not just the great A/V presentation.

    Also very expensive for so little actual game. At launch it was $79.99 CDN, and the DLC pack for a year is another $69.99. That is insane. EA needs to pull it's head out. There is no game here, just pretty graphics. They should be offering a year of DLC as part of that ridiculous $*) for a game charge.

    Not recommended unless they drop the price, or offer a lot of free content and game fixes.

    Star Wars Battlefront isn't a *bad* game, per se, but it is extremely disappointing.

    I loved Battlefront I & II on PS2. They were two of my favourite games of all time. I had high hopes, albeit lenient expectations, for this new entry. I knew it would be "Battlefielded" by DiCE and plastic-wrapped by EA, but I was sure a good game could still be in there. Well, I am still disappointed in what I got.
    First of all, I pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition PS4 Console bundle. I discovered after the fact that this bundle does not include the much-advertised early access to the Battle of Jakku. This seems to be a developer choice since it is the same across all retailers. DiCE / EA, shame on you. I spent $450+ to play your game and you stiff me an early access code.

    Now, on to the actual game. It looks spectacular, to be sure. The graphics are pristine and the sound effects are great. Even so, I don't find it nearly as immersive as others claim to. Sure, it sounds like Star Wars, but the level of immersion is limited to, "We're on Endor, so here's a bunch of forest," or "We're on Hoth, so here's snow." Gone are the iconic visages of the movies (the Tattooine homestead, the carbonite freezing chamber, etc.), replaced by generic locations that sort of remind me of the films.

    I also think the older games were more impressive in their integration of combat and flight. You could hop into a ship and take off into some air combat. Now, flight is available in a fraction of the maps, and even then it is accessible by picking up tokens rather than actually hopping into a ship. It feels cheap and insincere on the part of the developers not to at least have the player interact with a ship before appearing in the sky mid-flight. As it stands now, I can barely be bothered doing any flying at all in the game, which is a real wasted opportunity.

    The lack of single-player really eats me up. I love two things: single player and splitscreen. I don't care much for online play, it's too competitive for my tastes, and with the old Battlefront I & II, that was perfectly fine, I could still have a ton of fun. Now, there is little room for me to enjoy the game. I can play Survivor mode with my buddy on the couch (which is fun for an hour or two of play here and there), or I can play a tutorial by myself. That's about it. This is a game for the Battlefield/CoD crowd, and not really for anyone else.

    Even my limited experience in online play tells me that it is pretty bare-bones. About 16 maps, much recycled amongst one another, and a few different guns and supplies to unlock. Even if all the upcoming DLC packs were free, I'd be hard-pressed to say this game was worth the price of admission.

    I was hoping for a PS4 successor to those great PS2 classics that we all know and love. Instead, I got an experience more akin to the disappointment of Lord of the Rings: Conquest than to the old Battlefront games. Here's hoping something better comes along in the future. A generous 4/10.

    8) If you pre-ordered, you got a poster and paid $60. Had you waited 2 weeks, it would have only been $40. Oh that was only for 1/2 the game. You were required to spend another $60 for the DLC. Which the DLC has been pretty pathetic.

    I am a really big Star Wars fan and always have been. That being said, I'm not a big fan of this game. Cons: The game just doesn't play like it should. Whether it be the inability to scale a rock that is smaller than your shoe or the total lack of response from weapons.

That being said, I'm not a big fan of this game. Cons: The game just doesn't play like it should. Whether it be the inability to scale a rock that is smaller than your shoe or the total lack of response from weapons. On top of these smaller factors are the much larger factors such as the price tag in total ($110 for game and season pass), the awful updates that try to "fix" what wasn't broken in the game to make it a level playing field, and that major lack of content. Battlefront 1 and 2 were jam packed full of content with multiplayer, galactic conquest, and CAMPAIGN (which for some reason isn't important anymore). First, this up in prices isn't just for Star Wars Battlefront, but still. I don't want to pay 60-70$ for a game only to have the DLC season pass (all of the items that were originally on there that were just held back) come out shortly after for another $50. Had it been 20$ it may not have been as big of an ordeal. Secondly, these updates really need to quit trying to level the game out. There is no point in allowing level progression if you're going to nerf all of the stronger weapons and buff all of the weaker ones, just make a linear game with one a full-auto, semi-auto, and burst gun at that point. Lastly, the biggest surprise to me was the upsetting fact that EA felt in their hearts (assuming they have them) that campaign is for chumps and Star Wars (a franchise known for its stories) didn't need an actual campaign to appeal to gamers. That is about as smart as reading instructions telling you to not put your hand in a blender and then putting it in there anyway and slamming down the pulse button. These lackluster, repetitive "missions" are a joke, its just training AI with buffed reaction time. If EA makes a sequel to this game (which I really hope they do and do it right) then there needs to be a campaign, better weapons/ versatility, and perhaps a lower price tag (ha). Oh, and if you're going to charge $110 for a star wars game, the gamers should at least get every single Star Wars and not just the OT (even if you hate the prequels).

    Pros: The real reason this game gets a 4 and not a 1 is because of my love of Star Wars, but still there are some good factors about the game too. The switch between FPS and TPS is an amazing addition, the graphics are phenomenal, and the maps are pretty fun despite being so few. FPS are my favorite game type, but Battlefront is the first TPS I've played in a while that I actually prefer instead the other view. Sure there are strategic values to using third-person over first, but it just feels better and almost like you're watching a star wars movie in third-person. In the latest update, the graphics were improved slightly again, and they look outstanding. You can see the glimmer of sun rays off of armor, dents in vehicles, and each separate bolt of lightning bolting at you. Lastly, the maps are great and nicely organized (except those pitiful spawn points) which I would probably bet that was DICE's work and not EA as DICE does a great job creating beautiful and massive maps. The downside to the maps, though, is that there are so few (9 original, 2 free so far, and "4" dlc).

    Overall, I would buy this game just to have a Star Wars game to play every now and again. For now, I'll continue playing Batman and Warframe until No Man's Sky comes out.

    A largely boring and uninspired multiplayer focused game with nothing much to work for.

    A Star Wars game that feels more Battlefield TM than a Star Wars game, because of a major oversight regarding it's lack of iconic maps that later became DLC.

The game clearly lacks any incentive to play after the first week of buying it! The worst part about this game is that their are only a handful of gigantic maps where your presence virtually does not matter. The skill cap seems extremely low; the game actually seems designed to make you die. Obtaining a vehicle can be extremely difficult and they are usually not even worth the effort; obtaining the Jedi position is even harder and due to its rarity is kind of pointless. The lack of a local multiplayer means your forced to die continuously fighting strangers, unlocking guns that all seem to be the same gun with different stats, other than, of course, the gun that you are forced to pay extra money for (meaning if your willing to spend an extra $10 you unlock by far the best gun taking all incentive out of the game). The game is designed for low-skilled level players who enjoy mindless first person shooters. The only good thing about this game is the fact that the graphics are outstanding and the fact that its in the star wars universe. Overall, wouldn't recommend this game to anyone above the ages of 10. Expand

    So there is no story, they are little campaign missions but they are like 10 minutes each and they aren't really interesting. So you are left with the gameplay, which was also disappointing...
    The maps were too big so it's hard to find your friends, the weapons feel the same and when you have a character like Luke or Darth Vader, the gameplay becomes slow and sluggish.
    And the online is boring too, this fanbase is annoying and since the gameplay sucks, the online isn't enjoyable to me..

    It's sad that there isn't much to talk about because there isn't a lot to this game, the little amont of content is laughable, the gameplay is like call of duty so if you enjoy call of duty, maybe you will enjoy this. For me, this game looks incredible and sounds just like star wars but the game itself isn't good.

    Gameplay: Played EA Access over the weekend for 10 hours and 2 issues. That netcode again and spawns are worse than battlefield. I have literally spawned in front of the enemy and spawn trapping can be done. The spawns will be a major complaint in the coming weeks along with hit detection. Just your typical EA/DICE multiplayer game.

    Verdict: Rent before you buy or wait a month as EA usually cuts the price in half. Then you can snag it. If you do buy towards the full price, try buying used from gamestop. You get 7 days to return any used game at gamestop if you do not like it. No questions asked. There is always gamefly where you can set the 1 month free trial and try BF for free also.

    3/10 is my final score. You will get bored quickly. If you don't believe me then by all means try one of the ways I mentioned above and save as much of your hard earned cash as possible.

    Pretty game, but utterly boring. Nothing like the original battlefront games. Matches are smaller, maps are smaller, vehicles are power ups rather than strewn about, hide for health is a boring mechanic, no space battles.

    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.

There is no dedicated chat system which makes coordinating in some of the game modes near impossible in pick up matches. Ariel combat is pretty lack luster. The leveling and economy system do not feel rewarding. For a $60 game and a $50 season pass for the "promise" of more content it is unacceptable. The game wasn't finished.

Too few maps, too little content, minimal single player content that barely exists to justify being there. Vast majority of multiplayer is one sided in favor of the Rebels, with exception to Walker Assault on Hoth which, despite tweaks, is still lopsided towards the Empire. One sided battles are extremely evident in Fighter Squadron, where Rebels win in absolute blowouts 9 times out of 10 regardless of location, thanks to their click-and-forget shields that double their health and have no adequate counter by the TIE's evasive maneuvers ability. Most Fighter Squadron matches I've played since release (50+ total games thus far) have had half of the players on the Imperial side quitting mid-match; that should tell you how bad the imbalance is. Hero Battle is the only truly balanced mode, but with 6 heroes on 4 maps, you'll get your fill in one or two matches.

    Terrible netcode with horrendous lag and hit detection problems. Player customization is nothing short of a joke; same models for both sides, just one has Stormtrooper armor. Players spawn camping vehicles and not even trying to play the game due to horrible power up item design. Barely worth a rental, certainly not worth a buy, and DEFINITELY not worth dropping an extra $50 on top of the purchase price for a season pass. Wait until the inevitable "Battlefront Definitive Edition" comes out next holiday season with all the DLC and bug fixes... and then wait for it to go on sale.

    This game is not that bad on paper. But unfortunately for this game it was published by EA. So $60 for all the "fun" of the beta. The first few hours are going to be great, but you'll soon see the lack of content and massive problems. So for an additional $50 you get about $20-$30 worth of content MAX.

    Star wars battlefront goes for the quality over quantity style. However, the game is very poorly put together, clunky controls and overall, just a bad feel for the game. Star wars Battlefront 3 is a massive let down from the hype it recieved earlier this year, this game should not be called star wars. However, some good things in the game were good, and the rest. Horrible. This game is aStar wars battlefront goes for the quality over quantity style. However, the game is very poorly put together, clunky controls and overall, just a bad feel for the game.

    I am giving this game a 3 only for the mere amazing graphics. The gameplay is so casual and easy, I maybe Global elite in skill based fps like Csgo but Im literally going 50-10 every map while falling asleep because of the sheer casual combat thats just point and click. Your recoil, and spread doesnt even get effected by jumping. REALLY? It gets boring after the first 30 minutes, theI am giving this game a 3 only for the mere amazing graphics.

Theyre already talking about multiple sequels when this game isnt even finished, no server browser, only 48 players max, no clone wars, like 9 maps. ARE YOU SERIOUS. This is like a $20-$30 game. Id wait until then before buying and even then its still a bad cash grab. Expand

    Ещё один Батлфилд, но с лазерами.

    Играл в открытом тестировании, совершенно не впечатлился. Бегай, захватывай точки, стреляй, иногдпа махай мечом и летай на драндулетах. Всё. Скучно, но красиво. Очередной проходной блокбастер на 3 часа игры. Думал что будет кампания — только мультиплеер. Стыдно должно быть. Но фанаты купят, поиграют и даже им это вскоре наскучит. Очень уныло и не

    A clear cashgrab attempt by one of gaming's worst companies. EA has made sure that the base game is devoid of life and the content that remains is the equivalent of a free to play game. This game is not worth $60, and certainly not $110 for a few extra maps. Compared to its predecessors and other shooters, this game is not worth buying.

    Played this game for a day and the casual objectives and the simplicity of the gameplay made the experience worthless. I don't recommend this game at all. All this wait for nothing but beautiful landscape and sound.

    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]
