    Battlefront is a very good looking game with excellent graphics and textures in addition it is very fun to play.
    However the game lacks content in regards to maps, single player and no space battles.

    Star Wars: Storefront... quickly becomes boring as you begin to realize the lack of content and game modes. This game isn't even up to par with the PSP releases. If its true that this will become an annual title like COD or Assassins Creed, expect all the old features of the original games to slowly make there way into each release.

    This is simply not Star Wars Battlefront but Star Wars Battlefield. They used the stuff of Battlefront 1 and 2 that sucked and no real fan did play anyways (huge maps, vehicles and heroes), while providing no small scale ctf/deathmatch with good and diverse balancing. Also, no Clone Wars and no space battles. 0 p because this is a hoax and/or major ****

    The long awaited reboot to the original Battlefront proves that a long wait can result a very well made game.

AND you can't be on the same team. Recalling older BF games there were several game modes and the fields were way more expansive than what I played on split screen with my friend. i didn't get a chance to try the online multiplayer, but I'll say this- I am not going to purchase this game or any DLC until like a year from now and its a used/pre-owned one, cause Lord knows there'll be a ton of them by this time next year.… Expand

    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 ****

    -Some of the maps mainly the Swamp like areas are so ****ing confusing to navigate leading to a lot of unnecessary deaths.
    -Limited maps(The most I counted was like FIVE).
    -Asking people to buy a 50 Dollar season pass for more content.
    -So much for a Campaign because there isn't one!
    -Flying is so terribly controlled you'll feel like you're playing a Bubsy game(And that's saying a lot.)
    -The minimap is ****.
    -The spawns are ****
    -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).
    -Lack of Weapons

    So yes. This is just Electronic Arts just trying to take your money because they don't care about you. Buy a better game that was released in 2015 like Witcher 3 or Fallout 4. At least I can play those two without being killed instantly by some random ****    … Expand

    No Online split-screen
    No Galactic Conquest
    No Space Battles
    No meaningful Single Player mode
    "Supremacy" mode is more of a tug-of-war, whereas the old battlefronts you could take any command post on the map and it was more tactical and enjoyable.
    Heroes are massively OP - and there aren't enough of them.
    Nerf the heroes and allow 2-3 per side at a time.

    However
    Walker Assault and Turning Point are good 20v20 modes.
    Turning point can only be played on one map, so that sucks.
    There are now 10 different game types, so you have diversity in what you can play.
    I enjoy Cargo, Blast and Drop Pod modes.
    I hate Droid Run, Heroes vs Villains and Hero Hunt - but to each its own.

    Dice sent a patch update in early-mid December that balanced the gameplay nicely, but it did nerf some items.

    If this was a full game, I would have gladly given it a 9 or 10 - the mechanics are that good,but with all of the missing content and "Season Pass" (pay-wall). It deserves a 5. - Too bad because it was a great franchise.    … Expand

    Another contra is, that the endgame is really boring: At level 50 you probably have everything unlocked and from there it's just getting boring.
    3rd Con.: The lack of maps. There are currently 5 (?) maps in this game which means you will play the same map more than once in a short time.
    4th Con.: No story. I played SW:B I & SW:B II both on PlayStation2 and I really enjoyed the campaign and the different maps.
    5th. Con.: Overpowered Heroes/Villains. I'm not saying, that every hero in this game is OP, but Boba Fett and Han Solo surely are.
    As Solo, you have the ability that makes you kill another hero in 2 shots and as Boba you can just wait for your rocket to recharge and get insane killstreaks (I got a 46-0 on Hoth playing as Boba the whole match).

    - The graphics of the game are impressive and on point.
    - Many different game modes to choose from. Walker assault - fighter squadron - heroes vs villains are my personal favorite.
    - Fast paced game play. Instant re-spawns
    - Nice level design
    - As of today servers are populated and reliable.
    - You can easily get in and out of matches and do not have to dedicate time to enjoy the game. What i mean is if i only have 30 min to kill i can play a few matches and have a great time. If i have 4 hours to kill i can still enjoy playing and work towards unlocks.

    The Bad
    - Easy skill level may turn off more serious gamers.
    - Most blasters do not feel unique.
    - Some game modes are very short when i would like them to be a bit longer.
    - No character customization or weapon mods.
    - An AI to shoot at during multiplayer.
    - Becoming a hero requires a random pickup instead of being a reward to a skillful player.
    - I would like more heros and villains to choose from. #whereschewy    … Expand

Not much in this game is all that I really have to say. Gameplay is fun but really basic which I understand, because they are just trying to make the game fun for everyone, but it just makes it way easier for skilled players to completely dominate on the battlefield. The Heroes and Viliains are not very fun to play as, other than Boba Fett. Lots of modes, but it really just boils down to shooting people, other than the Fighter Squadron and Heroes vs Villains modes. The way vehicles are handled in this game is not good. You can only get vehicles if you find power-ups on the battlefield. There is a much better way to do this, but EA was afraid of ripping stuff from other series like Battlefield. If they would have taken the essentials from other games and just added in Star Wars things, the game would be a lot better. Graphics are great as usual from DICE. Sound and atmosphere are spot on. Even though I have many problems with this game, I still enjoyed playing it. The lack of content disappoints me, and I'm sure as hell not buying the Season Pass, but I'm looking forward to the sequel so that DICE and EA can fix some of these problems, and add in a Campaign, and Clone Wars stuff(and Sequel trilogy content). I'm just happy that this came with my PS4 and I didn't have to pay an extra $60 for it.… Expand

    Let me start off with the game's good quality's. The Graphics, sound, and design overall is fantastic. Plus the game feels like your in a true, real, star war's battle (especially on Hoth). But the game's fun factor soon fades due to the lack of content.

    There are to me personally, two good game modes, Supremacy and Fighter Squadron ( idk if thats the right name). All the rest seem to be filler game modes. Supremacy is a really good game mode, but seeing it only has 4 maps to go along with it kinda made it very repetitive after a while. The game also doesn't have much to offer to as of customization. I dont believe there is a single gun attachment. If that doesn't explain the lack of content i dont know what will.

    Also there is no campaign, just survival. Which is by the way a very, very bland and boring horde mode. The only good factor of survival is the opening and ending CGI moments. But in the end those only depress me in the way that i would have rather had a fully done story.

    Overall the game looks, sounds, and feels amazing (for a while). But lacks any real content to keep you playing. If your a true star wars fan i recommend buying this when the price is lower or picking up the season pass to ensure you get at least some more content in DLC form. If your not a hardcore fan, then you could pass on this, its really just a casual star wars experience.    … Expand

    If you were expecting Battlefield 4 but in the SW universe you'll be disappointed, big time. If you judge this game as a standalone game and not compare it to any other DICE game, you'll enjoy the game.

    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.
