    Star wars battlefront.....where do i begin. Graphics? best ive seen in a video game thus far. Gameplay? also very fun and more focused on casual gamers which i do like as i dont get rekt every time i play it. content? NO NO NO....HOW COULD EA HAVE DONE THIS?????????

NO NO NO....HOW COULD EA HAVE DONE THIS????????? The lack of content is so painfully bad i want to cry. At launch this game had about 3 and a half hours of new experiences ( im saying experiences because there is absolutely no campaign or worth while story mode. yes that means galactic conquest too) Since then they have added a new gamemode and a handful of maps for online multiplayer. but that still does not make up for the complete lack of any single player content. Yes there is survival mode. but it is so half A@@ed that it is more like a tutorial that you should do before actually getting into the main game. my point is you need other people playing with you in order to have any fun at all in this game. It is heartbreaking, so much so that ive went back to bf2 just to see what this game could have been. yeah its pretty, but whats the point in looking good if theres no personality to go with it??? The character customization is literally a bunch of different faces, about 7 overall, with about 3 different hair cuts. that is until you get to rank 40 and 50, then you get a few unique characters. that and the guns. there could have been so much more variety than the 10 guns you unlock through the game. so from here on out we will finish off with pros and cons. with pros first.....

    pros..
    ~Graphics are AMAZING. AND I MEAN AMAZING
    ~Gameplay is fun and balanced.
    ~Sounds and effects are on par with the movies.
    ~You get the ability to choose the map you would like to play on, the game searches for sessions taking place on the map you choose.
    ~Air battles are fun. but you will get the other half of this in the cons section
    ~Free maps and gamemodes have and will continue to be added into the game.
    ~the game is addicting.

    Cons...
    ~WHERE IS THE REST OF THIS GAME???
    ~THE EXPANSION PASS COSTS FIFTY FREAKING DOLLARS ARE YOU KIDDING ME????
    ~BAREBONES CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION
    ~NO SPACE BATTLES.... THIS IS STAR WARS EA..........STAR WARS... STAR..AS IN SPACE....
    ~WHERE IS GALACTIC CONQUEST??? WHERE IS EVERYTHING THAT MAKES A STAR WARS GAME A STAR WARS GAME???
    and on that note.......im done. i dont recommend buying this game until it goes on sale. wait for a bundle. so that when you buy it, you are buying the complete game. because in its current state, it is unfinished. dont make the same mistake i did and spend 120 dollars on the "ultimate super awesome spaceman edition". it isnt worth it as of now. I rate it a 5 out of 10...    … Expand

    With no single player offering, which I would have absolutely no problem with if the rest of the game had more content and substance, the game suffers from absolutely no signs of longevity present. The spawning system on most game types are horrendous, often putting you right back into the action that you recently died from. The only particularly good and interesting character skins can be unlocked from level 40 onwards, as if EA expected people to play 4 maps with possibly 3, 4 (at a push) fun game modes.

    Speaking of EA, I wonder who's idea it was to add a season pass to this game which is the same price as the actual game. Does it sound like something EA would do? If releasing half a game and charging £50 for a season pass is the new way forward then I fear for future big releases.

The two-camera modes first-person and third-person have no issues and switching between them is easy but as Battlefront shows us looks aren't everything. The problem with Battlefront isn't on a technical level it plays and runs fine but other problems contribute to it's downfall. Battlefront simply doesn't offer the player enough content to work with and all though single-player elements were thrown into the game there isn't enough diversity in missions or customization for matches in fact there is no customization outside of gun and perks; This is a big issue for me I would expect to edit the game maybe my character add some more AI for a huge battle! But sadly, Battlefront doesn't allow me to do that. Next the modes range from multiplayer/single player but Battlefront thinks to small it feels more like a Battlefield re-skin or mod than an actually different game. Battlefront was given the golden opportunity to become the first game of the Star Wars franchise on current gen (PS4, Xbox One) consoles as all the Battlefront games before than was on PC,PS2,Original Xbox and Xbox 360 but it cannot surpass it's predecessors. Lack of large-scale space warfare hurt the game and dealt a powerful blow to fans of the Star Wars franchise. Battlefront's music choice is also very basic I can almost hear the same track playing on any mission I choose to play. It seems like a limited experience as if it was a beta, we should have gotten the cancelled game that looked more entertaining than this. In the end Battlefront was just a commercial game it was designed to trick gamers in with it's shiny graphics and Star Wars logo but gamers got smart and Battlefront's popularity plummeted quickly; Also the amount of DLC present in the game is cringe-worthy. It might be fun to blast storm troopers with your laser rifle that never runs out of ammo but don't expect anything more from Battlefront other than short challenges and combat.… Expand

    While there’s a good selection of improvements – including graphically – and definitely recreates the feeling of being in the Star Wars universe, yet compared to previous instalments, there seems to be a lot missing.

    Gameplay: Controls are very simple and easy to understand, as well as being very responsive. It is great to be a Stormtrooper or a Rebel fighter until you step forward and    While there’s a good selection of improvements – including graphically – and definitely recreates the feeling of being in the Star Wars universe, yet compared to previous instalments, there seems to be a lot missing.

    Gameplay: Controls are very simple and easy to understand, as well as being very responsive. It is great to be a Stormtrooper or a Rebel fighter until you step forward and then proceed to spontaneously combust or grow blaster wounds in vital areas. In short, the online multiplayer is very chaotic and once you do manage to survive long enough to acquire any interesting weapons or vehicles, it feels very anticlimactic, disappointingly as dull as everything else you would’ve done in the game so far.

    If you’d rather avoid the overwhelming multiplayer modes, the offline features aren’t exactly more welcoming. There only a very limited number of game modes available which have almost no content or challenge to them, and are either too short or too slow.

    However, some of the most fun I have had in the game is in the Hero Battles. Despite being very oddly paced at times, it’s hard to deny that it is really fun running around and choking people as Darth Vader, waving your lightsaber around as Luke Skywalker, doing crazy flips as Emperor Palpatine or shooting enemies as Han Solo, Fett or Leia.

    Visuals/Sound: One of the only defining qualities of this game is the atmosphere. This newest addition to Battlefront is undoubtedly the best looking and sounding Star Wars game to date. The scenery, the characters, the sounds and effects are all very authentic to the original trilogy and very easily immerses players in the world of Star Wars.

    Even for those who would be considered indifferent about the Star Wars movies would find this experience thrilling. It really does feel like you’re taking part in a battle within Star Wars itself. However, this would be a good excuse to own the game already, rather than a reason to buy it in the first place; unless of course you are a self-proclaimed massive fan of Star Wars, in which case this is the game for you.

    Summary: A very tight, rather generic shooter, disguised as a good-looking Star Wars game. Definitely not the best Star Wars game out there, and without a doubt not the best Battlefront game. There is genuine fun to be had in this game, for about an hour or so. Unless you’re a big Star Wars fan, the newest Battlefront will get old, fast. Even then, it’ll get old eventually.    … Expand

Those first couple hours are decent fun and its hard not to be impressed by how good everything in the game looks but after you get past that it becomes very clear that the game is average in almost every other way. This really seems like it was purely made to capitalize on the Star Wars brand.

    The gameplay isn't bad but it is inferior to the other Battlefront games that I have played. I don't know why anyone who choose this game over dozens of other FPS games aside from the graphics and the fact that it is a Star Wars game. There are very few weapon options and most of them are pretty generic. They added character customization but the options are extremely limited. There are only a few battle scenarios.

    There is no storyline or campaign mode at all. Even fighting games put in a basic campaign. There is really no excuse for this.

    Obviously the visuals are great, however, there is very little creativity. I can't think of any past Star Wars games that looked this good but almost all of the past Star Wars games that I have played, such as Jedi Knight or Shadow of the Empire, include unique designs that added to the Star Wars world. Battlefront does a good job of presenting what we already know but doesn't give us anything new design wise.

    Sound Design is basically the same situation as the visuals. Everything sounds great but it is basically just the same sounds that you get in the movies, there are no memorable original songs. Basically EA got what they paid for, recorded it in game form and sold it to consumers at a markup. It sounds good so I give it some props for that but in a world where even indie games are starting to have amazing original tracks I expect more from a massive franchise from a massive company.

    Considering that the game is purely focused on multiplayer I would have expected a lot of maps to choose from but there are hardly any and while they all look great they are all pretty small and not that complex. Just like everything else in this game, they just don't seem to be very inspired.

    While Battlefront is far from the worst game and the production values are mostly excellent, that is not good enough of a reason to buy it. There are far better Star Wars games and far better FPS games. Wait a few years and all the Star Wars games will look and sound this good. Even if you are a huge Star Wars fan I would recommend that you save your money.

    Star Wars Battlefront is a disappointingly shallow multiplayer FPS that made all the wrong decisions.

    Pros: - Absolutely stunning to look at. These worlds were brought to life with care and focus, feeling as though they were pulled straight from the films - Sound design is exceptional. Whether its the buzzing slash of a lightsaber or the high pitched squeal of a laser blaster, the    Star Wars Battlefront is a disappointingly shallow multiplayer FPS that made all the wrong decisions.

    Pros:
    - Absolutely stunning to look at. These worlds were brought to life with care and focus, feeling as though they were pulled straight from the films
    - Sound design is exceptional. Whether its the buzzing slash of a lightsaber or the high pitched squeal of a laser blaster, the sounds are accurate and perfectly placed. Battles sound just how you'd expect
    - Great music; tracks both new and old place the game directly in the Star Wars universe
    - Playing as the heroes and villains of the Star Wars universe never gets old

    Cons:
    - Incredibly long loading times; whether entering a map or simply waiting to go back to the title screen, you are looking at a minute or more of idling. It gets frustrating fast.
    - No single player
    - Poor progression favors veterans far too heavily. Too many helpful abilities and weapons are locked completely inaccessible to beginners. Newcomers are already at a disadvantage in terms of skill and familiarity, also giving them the worst of the weapons and no star cards makes this title incredibly difficult to get into
    - The most interesting game modes are locked behind DLC. Multi-tiered objective based modes are locked, with only basic game modes available to all.
    - Too much is locked behind DLC. I had most of my fun on DLC maps and game modes. The base game is painfully shallow
    - Team balancing is horrendous. I have entered matches to find myself alone on my team against 5 players on the opposite side. Even when numbers are even, skill levels are seemingly not considered. Far too often games feel completely one sided. Competitive matches are few and far between.
    - Shallow space combat

    Mixed:
    - Loose, spread heavy gunplay. Some people may like this, but I like my guns to be precise.
    - Game modes are a mixed bag; again this will have a lot to do with personal preference

    Star Wars Battlefront looks and feels like a Star Wars game should, but unfortunately while putting so much effort into the presentation, it seems the designers forgot to back it up with content. While there is fun to be had, the loose gunplay, unfair progression system, long loading times and terrible team balancing will turn most away before they can ever find it.    … Expand

    This game has the foundation to be the Battlefront game we expected, but falls flat when it comes to the actual amount of gameplay you can sink into it.

The air combat is pretty standard but again is fine. Weapons all feel pretty similar and so do the star cards. Hero's are so much fun but the fact you have to pick up a token to play as one is stupid and creates camping in those spawning areas. Progression and unlocks happen far too slow. But the worst part of this game is the lack of content. Almost no single player content except for tutorial missions which is so sad. The missions are all pretty basic so if you want to play offline alone there isn't much for you. There are literally 4 launch maps for the standard edition which is outrageous. There is only a handful of good multiplayer modes as well. The amount of content for the base game is so disappointing and after a while you feel like you experienced everything that can happen and it makes the game feel shallow.

    Gameplay: You press your trigger button. Your weapon fires. The other player dies. It makes sounds. It looks fun. And that's the gameplay in a nutshell. Oh yes, you got special moves now and then that work halve of the time, and otherwise give you an epileptic attack by watching it.
    Multiplayer: Well... that's what it is.... and it's okay halve of the time. Other times it's boring and frustrating.
    Co-op: This is actually the better part of the game, offering races on shooting motorbikes, letting you fight waves of stormtroopers, big ass robots and aircrafts. I enjoyed playing this with my friends.

    If this game had been 30 euros, i would have understand the lack of content. But for 60 euros, and a 50 euro season pass? **** you EA, this is just a scam.

    Overall it's an underwhelming game. I give it a 5/10.    … Expand

    5/10 - No sé si habrá sido que no entendí la forma de avanzar en el juego o qué, pero como friki de Star Wars el juego no me atrapó. Gráficamente está muy bien logrado pero la mecánica no logró funcionar conmigo. Ni si quiera me lo pasé, sólo lo empecé.

    That not it, even with the dlc there is a big lack of hero and map of the prequels. No campaign is also a disappointment.

    A graphically beautiful but boring and soulless overpriced multiplayer shooter. There is no campaign and single player is just fighting bots with poor AI in a skirmish environment.

Probably the most pretty but also the worse Star Wars game i have ever played i am really dissapointed… Expand

    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!

    Lets ignore the fact that this game is nothing like Battlefront 1&2. It has amazing graphics, sound and its fun to play. Thats all cool, but after playing it for a few hours I've seen all the maps and game modes, done all the challenges and unlocked half the equipment.

    Game would be well worth $40, but instead its full price and then asks $60 for the content that the game desperately needs to be worth its asking price. Instead of asking a discount for lacking content and no single-player, they're asking us to for out aver $120 for all the content?

    Good game, but stupidly overpriced.    … Expand

    Ea caught my childhood memories, has cut 30% to 60 € and the remaining 70% to 50€. I will never forget this insult.
    I just hope this game will become your greatest failure... EA THANKS FOR NOTHING.

    While it's true Star Wars fans have been clamoring for a Battle Front III, this game does not deliver in any way, shape, or form. It seems to be put together solely based off of concepts from other first person shooters (Battlefield, Titanfall, Call of Duty, Halo), and includes none of what makes Star Wars Battlefront such an iconic classic.

    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]
