    Star wars battlefront is probably the most authentic star wars game ever. The best thing about the game is it's amazing graphics.

Drop zone is smaller 10 v 10 fights to control drop pods all over the map. Finally is heroes vs villains this is a fun and chaotic 6v6 mode where 3 people control the hero pickup characters and 3 serve as bodyguards in a search and destroy type mode first to get 5 points wins. The only negatives are the lack of a story and only 2 people in a party at a time overall the game is great no questions asked… Expand

    Unfortunately the overall customization is lacking and so is single player content. The old Star Wars Battlefront games on the PS2 and Xbox had an amazing single player campaign that is missing entirely here which is a massive shame!

    Another thing to note is that the season pass is an absolute rip off not worth the £40 price tag, especially when you have already paid £45 for the game itself. The content that will be released as DLC (mainly maps) should have been included in the original game right from the start.

    Its great to venture into the Star Wars world but quite disappointing that the content out of the box is lacking.

    Finally, EA has released the successor to the amazing Star Wars: Battlefront II that came out 10 years ago. We can now drop Star Wars: Battlefront II and start playing this game, on the new generation - right? Or does this game not live up to the standard that is Battlefront? Read this review to find out!

We can now drop Star Wars: Battlefront II and start playing this game, on the new generation - right? Or does this game not live up to the standard that is Battlefront? Read this review to find out!

    A: Music/Sounds

    Oh my god! I can not get over how amazing the sounds and music are in this game. Every shot from a blaster, the footsteps of a Stormtrooper - heck, even the lightning from Darth Sidious himself! If you get flashbanged, you feel like you really have been in real life! What I'm trying to say, is that the sounds of this game is perfect. The only issue is some of the voice acting. The voices for the Stormtroopers sound a little strange, and Darth Vader can say a few quirky quotes. But all of that can be forgiven. The quality of the sounds - from a Tie Fighter to a Grenade never disappoints in this game. Not to mention the amazing original Star Wars Music which everyone loves. With the sounds, you will not be disappointed.

    10/10 WITH my Thumbs Up of Approval

    B: Graphics

    Much like the sounds, the graphics are quite possibly the best out of any Star Wars game ever. Heck, the graphics in this game are the best that I have ever seen out of any game, ever. I'm not even exaggerating here. The next-gen capabilities that this game shows off is magnificent. If you're on Endor, the detail that has gone into every little plant and tree does not go unnoticed. On Sullust, the amazing detail of the rocks and lava add to the atmosphere. The Stormtroopers are almost exactly like the movies. Absolutely perfect - the only issue is some of the character faces (No, I'm not talking about the heroes) the human faces of the Rebels/Stormtroopers do look a little undetailed, and stick out like a sore thumb in this game.

    10/10 WITH my Thumbs Up of Approval

    C: Gameplay

    This is probably the part of the game that is done worst - besides story. The fluid gunplay and combat is perfect, but the game itself is a bit lacking. With 4 different environments that you can play on, it gets old pretty quickly. Out of the 9 (Or so) modes, most of them will be very small - and you probably will play them once, then never again. Most of the guns feel almost exactly the same, and there is only 11 guns! But the Star Cards make your character a little more unique. No more picking classes like you did in Star Wars: Battlefront II, you make your own class. And don't even get me started on the heroes. They're amazing! No matter who you play as, from Han Solo to Emporer Palpatine, they always feel unique. And no matter what level the enemy is, you will always be able to dominate them with a good Lightsaber Strike or Lightning Strike. And unlike Battlefront II, each of the Heroes have much different playstyles. Half the heroes in Battlefront II were basically just different skins. Unfortunately, there are only 6 heroes total - which is a little disappointing, to say the least. Considering this is EA, there is obviously going to be a horrid amount of DLC. And I'm not wrong - before the game even released, they dropped the bomb on a $75 AUD season pass. No one is a fan of DLC, but EA is the worst offender of it. At least EA stated that there will be free DLC down the track, like the Battle of Jakku - but it probably won't be as good as the paid DLC.

    6/10

    D: Online

    Now this is where the game truly stands out. Well, stands out at all in that matter. There are literally 3 different modes on Singleplayer - just don't bother. If you aren't going to play online, don't buy the game. You can't even play a nice game of Walker Assault by yourself and some bots. Now with online, it is pretty good, but not much to point out here. They have some pretty good matchmaking here on the PS4, but lag seems to be frequent for me. I might be playing as a hero, dominating some bad guys - but then the lag kicks in and it disables my controls (That is what automatically happens when the connection is really bad) the only problem is that everyone else still has their controls, and seem to be able to shoot pretty fluently. And then, you just die. It can really be frustrating, after finally finding that hero powerup after so long - or going still in the middle of a firefight. The Online matches can get pretty annoying, as you almost die instantly. But that can also be a good thing - it allows you to mow down enemies and feel really good about yourself - but then again it can get really freaking annoying when you die constantly. Like I said before, if you don't want to play this game online, do NOT buy it.

    7/10

    E: Story

    There is no story, unlike Battlefront: II. It wasn't much of a bummer for me, as I never played the campaign on Star Wars: Battlefront II but I'm just pointing it out for anyone else.

    0/10

    So in the end, is this game worth it? Well, it depends. Are you in for repetitive playing and Online only - not to mention a huge Star Wars fan? Yes!

    Ahh... Battlefront...I missed you...

    The third game in the series is great! Not perfect, but great. So let's get this going. The game has nine gamemodes, enough for someone like me who is playing only 6 of them. Multiplayer is really good and sometimes actually challenging... but there are times when the game is just to easy, once you get the best weapon,you are unstoppable.    Ahh... Battlefront...I missed you...

    The third game in the series is great! Not perfect, but great.

    So let's get this going. The game has nine gamemodes, enough for someone like me who is playing only 6 of them. Multiplayer is really good and sometimes actually challenging... but there are times when the game is just to easy, once you get the best weapon,you are unstoppable.

    Supremacy: It's basiclly conquest mode from Battlefield 4, it's a 20vs20 game mode where players need to capture 5 "flags" (as I like to call them) and they can use pretty much every vechicle in the game. My favorite gamemode.

    Cargo: Cargo is a smaller Supremacy mode with cargo boxes instead of "flags". I don't like it that much.

    Droid Run: 6vs6 match where players need to capture three GNK Power Droids. Do I need to say more?

    Walker Assault: 40vs40 match where Rebels need to destroy AT-AT's and Imperials need to defend them. The mode is really unbalanced and I would not recommend playing it (as a Rebel at least).

    Blast: Classic 10vs10 deathmatch. Nothing to add really.

    Drop Zone: Escape pods are crashing into the planet and you need to capture them. Propably one of my favorite gamemodes.

    Heroes Vs Villains: Like the title says, Heroes (Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo) Vs Villains (Darth Vader, The Emperor and Boba Fett). Overall it's a fun mode and can be really frustrating when playing as some of the characters (Especially Leia, Han Solo and Boba Fett) but it's still a very good gamemode and would recommend to play it.

    Hero Hunt: 7 Rebels/Imperials vs 1 Hero/Villain. Your objective is to kill the Special Character and when you do so you turn into him and have to kill others, simple as that.

    Gameplay: So the game is simple, you shoot with blasters and sometimes can get into a vechicle or become a Special Character. The gameplay is really solid and is a lot of fun, I played this game for 40h and i'm still not bored of it! It's a really simple shooter that even casuals can play. Unfortunatly some modes (Walker Assault) are really unbalanced and need to be fixed. But still, no matter what the gameplay is great.

    Singleplayer: So this game doesn't really have a campaign. BUT! it has survival modes that you can play alone, or even with a friend in the same room (Which is a rare thing these days). Survival modes are repetetive and the main objective is basiclly to survive 15 waves. I don't like it and it's boring, even with friends. But there is also Hero Battles which you can play alone, or again with a friend in the same room. It's basiclly Heroes Vs Villains but two players only. I love it and spent 5h just in this mode.

    Multiplayer: I talked about it already, it's great and I love it.

    DLC: I didn't want to talk about it but you really need to know this if you haven't watched reviews. Game is lacking content, modes are rehashed and not original. Developers (DICE) said they would bring the rest of the content in a DLC, here's the problem. The season pass costs 50$, is it worth the price? We will see. One thing I respect though is how DICE WILL give out free DLC, actually they announced one free map for december already! I can't be mad but 50$ is a little too much in my honest opinion.

    Conclusion: The game is great but has many, maany flaws. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. It's great and I have tons of fun in it. Althrough it's worse than the previous Battlefronts, I still like it and I will propably play it all the time. 7/10 (No, It's not a bad score, it's above average)    … Expand

    Amazing graphics. Fun game modes. But if you want the game to remain fun, you shouldnt play the game to often. Everything about the game is good, its more the lack of heroes, weapons and maps that make me vote this game not higher than a 7.

    An enjoyable Star Wars Multiplayer Experience. The Content level is definitely low with only 4 Battlegrounds and no Campaign. The worst Thing is that this Game has no Story whatsoever but it has great Gameplay and Shooter Elements. The Price is just too high for Battlefront. What remains is an enjoyable Shooter Experience with a nice Star Wars Sauce.

The lack content really hits the game the hardest here only offering a fun survival mode that will have you fending off waves of enemies. Survival entertain you for the first handful of times you play it. The other notable offline mode is battles similar to survival being that it does not have much replay value. Battles is a mode similar to kill confirmed in the Call of Duty games. Star Wars Battlefront is one of the better multiplayer with one of the best looking games that is out there but once you run out of things to do there isn't much reason to keep playing it. Finally Star Wars Battlefront is a good game that i enjoy 7.5/10

    This game feels sort of casual, though that isn't really a bad thing. The unlock system is easy to understand, the servers feel solid. Visually the game is amazing. It may lack some long-term playability, but if you are looking for a game you can just pick up and play for a bit, then this will do you well.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Battlefront is everything I've ever asked for from star wars and it really does make me feel as if Im in the Star Wars Universe. Beautiful game, well made, quick to learn and just all out fun to play. However, EA said they wanted to replicate the star wars battles yet there is a lack of space battles which sort of defeats the point of star wars. It would of been great if we had both battles of the death star in the game. There are also other maps they could of made that were in the original trilogy. Im also very disapointed with the amount of playable maps that are available. Playing these maps over and over again will eventually become boring. So hopefully they will add maps in future dlc. The fact that there isn't a single player doesn't bother me at all, star wars isn't the only game to not have a single player. Overall the game is great fun, love playing it, community is friendly and I highly recommend it to people who just want to feel like they are a kid again and fly the millennium Falcon. Good Job EA.… Expand

    Let me start by saying Star Wars Battlefront is a game mostly focused for fans of the Star Wars franchise (me being one of those people). Originally i was expecting more of a Battlefield take on the game but it has few similarities good and bad.

    Multiplayer - Now for a game focused mainly on an online and multiplayer experience it could've done way better. I occasionally found myself and an opponent killing each other at the same time which happened way too frequently, and as for grenades, i usually get killed by at least once a few seconds before spawning. Now the biggest problems i had are the Blasters Lack of variety feel. Its like you have your basic LMG, Assault Rifle, and Pistol. Each barley having any noticeable difference. the sights are also a bit too plain if you ask me..

    As for the solo or co-op experience - Ive only played survival with some friends and it seems to work well if there is anything i could say about it is it could've added a bit more variety and strategy for the enemy A.I.

    Customization - ok for this Category im going to keep it short.
    Lets be Honest who really wants to be an imperial and have human faces all the good trooper helmets and types are unlockable but at a high level of around 40 to 50 maybe even 60.
    Same goes for Rebels wouldn't you rather be a different Race besides all these human iterations? i mean you can unlock them but its going to take a lot of leveling up.

    The progression isn't as capturing or motivating until the you start reaching higher levels. But overall the gameplay is Fun even if its not as deep as it could be. Which is where being a fan kind of covers up the bad aspects. The best Thing i can say about the game though is the Graphics are sooooo beautiful to look at!    … Expand

    Battlefront is just about everything I expected from this title: to be fully engulfed in the beauty and action of the original Star Wars trilogy. Dice has done a great job with transferring the atmosphere and gadgets from the saga into this action packed nostalgia trip. Nothing but stunning graphics and awesome sounds makes Battlefront a game that will suck you in in no time!

Nothing but stunning graphics and awesome sounds makes Battlefront a game that will suck you in in no time!
    The setting aside, the game plays wonderful. Controlling an infantry trooper or vehicle alike, the controls are fully responsive and feels natural at first, but in order to really shine, you must of course master everything. The game modes, although limited in numbers, will keep you playing this game for a long time. I've had a hard time trying to stop play Fighter Squadron and try out all the other modes, it really is that good. Controlling a tie fighter in the middle of a raging aerial combat really is a cool as I've always expected.
    Many of the reviews state that the lack of content should be rewarded with a close to 0 score. Well, if you are a hardcore Battlefield grinder and enjoy the confusion of hundreds of guns and gadgets, I get your point. Myself, I really like what Dice did here: kept it simple and understandable. Unlocking everything will keep you busy for a long time, and most importantly, every unlock MEANS something. In Battlefield, you get tons of stuff throughout the game which actually creates an inflation.
    There is off course flaws to this diamond as well, but the pros out-weight the cons in so many ways that I do not see any other way to finish this review than a big applause to Dice for delivering the game of the year.    … Expand

    SW Battlefront is amazing. It's ridiculously FUN. Fact that this game is at 5.2 user score is plain bs. Fact that this game is at 72 critic score just shows how much time and thought these critics are putting into their reviews.

    To the point. Graphics are AMAZING - the game is so alive, gfx glitch free and detailed its unbelievable. All that with like NO FPS LAG what so ever.

    Sound FX is AMAZING - seriously I just bought home theater just for this game. Do you want to get into the battle? Here you are, just don't forget to come back.

    Gameplay? It is SO fun. So amazingly fun. Matches are dynamic, interesting and not that repetitive for a fps game.

    Just play it yourself, than make a judgment.    … Expand

    Sure, the game has some issues, but I don't see why it gets all the hate. Battlefront has AMAZING graphics, it sounds great, and runs smoothly (from a PS4 Standpoint). Now, the only thing left is gameplay - which is, to be frank, highly impressive. I came in with the expectation that this would NOT be a Battlefield with a Star Wars skin; and EA really went above and beyond.

I came in with the expectation that this would NOT be a Battlefield with a Star Wars skin; and EA really went above and beyond. New game modes, new customization options, a new weapon system, and a great power up and "star card" system set this game apart from what we've seen in Battlefield - and that's not a bad thing. What I looked for in Battlefront was a new and exciting Star Wars game - EA did not drop the bar (in this aspect). The actual game modes were just so fun - especially fighter squadron, heroes vs villains, blast, walker assault and supremacy. I cant stress this enough: vehicles are great. It's just so fun to step into an AT-AT or X-Wing and go berserk on the enemy. Long story short, the game is great. Get it.… Expand

    I'm really shocked I love this game as much as I do. Of course, I love Star Wars... I'm a 27 year old man living in the Midwest. The graphics are absolutely stunning, the score is so on point I'm actually shocked it wasn't scored by John Williams himself. The game play is fast paced and brutal, but not so crazy you couldn't sit down with your 9 year old son and blast some Troopers. ThereI'm really shocked I love this game as much as I do.

Some of the modes are a pure waste of time, boring and repetitive. A lot of people are complaining about no campaign, or little to no story... This walks a fine line of "what is value"? I've been blasting for about 10 hours now. You pay $15 to see a 2 hour movie these days, I'm pretty sure $60 is well worth it. Go play this game!… Expand

    Very entertaining game with outstanding visuals and action. Cant get much closer to the feeling being in the galaxy far far away. 2 new maps and 1 free new game mode upcoming making this awesome blaster war even better. I reduced 1 point cause of the match making system that does not mix up the teams after matches.

    Everything in the game is authentically star wars, down to the last detail. The mechanics of the game are excellent and it makes for some great fun. However, the lack of campaign and the lack of maps makes it hard for anyone to shell out $60. Honestly, it's half of a game, and the "season pass" is a requirement due to lack of content that comes with the game.

    It's good, but this game have an FX sound bug! The graphics in this game are very very good. But some heroes and villains are OP! (I was thinking about Boba Fett)

    This game wasn't something I couldn't wait to get. However, once it was released I did buy it. I am very happy with the game for the most part. There could be more maps to play on though. And the controls are a little tough to get used to when flying. Other than that I am pretty happy. The graphics are amazing. Game play is very fun online but is lacking a "mission" in single play.

    How this is getting low reviews confuses me! How this rated lower than Black Ops 3 astonishes me! Star Wars battlefront is an absolute masterpiece! Everything I could have hoped for! After playing 32 hours I can tell you this is not an unfinished game! People expect more and this is what they have given us and be thankful for it! Props to EA and DICE for making a beautiful game.

This game can take all my money if they want! Season Pass already bought and well deserved. Along they way comes free dlc, not just Jakku but others as well. So everybody has something to look forward to! 10/10 easy! This and rainbow six siege is taking my life away and they can keep it!… 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]
