    This game doesn't have much depth.

    but what the game is, is fun. Even when I'm getting my ass handed to me, I'm still enjoying the chaos.
    i would highly recommend you rent first if you aren't into MP only games.

Picked up star wars, played for a bit, did the tutorials and jumped online. It is a beautiful game all around if you are a graphics junky. The gameplay is very smooth, I love the fact that you can switch between third and first person, personally I chose third person but I can play either, third person just allows me to view the entire area much easier. There aren't many guns but there are more than enough, most people hate this game because of the lack of maps, lack of guns, but come on..it's star wars! What more did u expect? This is not a competitive game by any means once again, it is a FUN game though. I seriously could not stop playing it when I got it, played for a good 4 hours straight until I forced myself to stop playing Drop Zone.. anyways, this game is great for casual gamers, it looks beautiful and there are no bugs, at least from what I had played so far. This is the last time I trust reviews for games, these reviews did no justice, people tend to be really picky nowadays, sometimes I feel like they got paid to write a bad review LOL! But Yeah, this game is fun and gets a 9 from me. Get yourself a copy!… Expand

    By far, this game has enough content to compare it with Battlefront II.
    The graphics at it's best, the gameplay as it's best, the servers are great. This game will give you at least 50 hours of gameplay before starts to be boring. People are hating this game because they don't want to afford over $100 on the game + extra content. It's a masterpiece.

    I have been playing this game regularly since launch, and I still enjoy it months later.

    Also people complain about it not having more advanced features that modern shooters often have, but I personally think that it reduces the ridiculous amount of overpowering force an advanced player can bring to bear against someone new to the game. Someone at level 50 can be brought down by a new player if the new player knows what they are doing.

    Some games are imbalanced which is why I gave it a 9, but on the other had I admire the tenacity which the system keeps you with the players you have been playing with through multiple games to bring about a sense of team...    … Expand

I have to say piloting an X-wing and taking out some TIE fighters in a game like this really makes me appreciate the attention to detail that DICE put into this game.

    That being said the fact that it is an EA game, we all know there is a bigger business plan in the works. They have for sure stripped down the original release of this game and it is no mystery they are going to be releasing it in expansion packs. I can say right now this game is still fun to play, it's great to pick up and play a few rounds with your friends but it is lacking in the amount and quality of content at this point.

    After about 2 or 3 expansion pass releases this game should be at a great point, but the fact that we need to wait that long does put a damper on the overall experience. Either way if you love the Star Wars universe this is a great game and even though the Empire (EA) is trying to hold it back and make some more money I think the content that will be released will make it that much better.    … Expand

    If this game had a little more content at launch, and not much more, some more storm trooper skins and one more planet, which would give 6 planets after the upcoming free DLC, I'd give it the perfect 10.

    While we're on content, I know a lot of people are complaining about the Season Pass but to be fair after how DICE handled Battlefield 4 I'm okay with it. The amount and quality of content that was released for BF4 was easily worth the $50, it really kept the game fresh.

    So this is my fanboy opinion. If you love StarWars then grab this game. Battlefront of old and even rogue squadron is represented in this package. Yes there's no space, you won't care. Looks like the force awakens trailers. Gun down x wings in the space, watch eWoks flee in terror as you are the emperor running through endor, fight in laser filled battles on hoth... I'm loving it.

    For people that are not die hard Star Wars fans I give it an 7.5. There are certainly other shooters online that offer more. I mean you could just play battlefield or halo... But that is not me. I can't wait for the movies and have waited years for another battlefront. There is still Jakkuu coming and yes like a sucker I will get the expansions along with many other nerds.

    Graphics, sound are all top notch and Star Wars has never looked better. There could be more maps and content but if I can remember correctly I'm always playing the same maps in other shooters and usually only one game mode entertains me. I also don't remember anything like a story in battlefront of old and all I was doing was shooting pixelated AI...    … Expand

    This is what you'll call a "dumb fun" game: there's no complex mechanics and the skill ceiling is not that big.
    However, what is turning off a lot of people is the price. The game has a 50$ season pass, with that money you can buy another AAA game. Luckily for me, the ultimate edition (that is, the base game plus the season pass) costs around 60$ in my country.

    This is one of those little gems of a shooter I have been waiting for. It looks, plays and sounds absolutely awesome. The amount of detail put into this really is an astonishing feat. The level of content in the game I believe to be good there, is a variety of maps to play around on with more on they way.

    I love this game. Its VERY well balanced, with GREAT freaking combat AND mechanics, but the only REAL kink is the fact that there is only as much guns as Titanfall, but that's not terrible in my opinion, since there isn't a lot of gun variety in the Star Wars series, it makes the game more balanced, and it just makes it more authentic.

Hardcore gamers will find satisfaction in the custom character loadouts and character progression rewards and unlockables.

Enjoy it for what it is, take control of the hero's & vilians you love, take to the skies in epic dogfights in ships that you use to imagine piloting growing up. I recommend this game to any Star Wars fan even non Star Wars fan (if they're out there). Just don't expect this to be tactical military accurate shooter because it's not, it's meant for most everyone to be able to pick up and play, and that's what I love about it.

    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.
