    My issues with the game
    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

    I'm not trying to review this by comparing it to Battlefront II, that would be stupid and I would have to rate it zero. I already knew it wouldn't be nearly a shadow of what BFII was, but I wanted a casual shooter to play online since I don't have any and I refuse to play any Call of Duty game.

I already knew it wouldn't be nearly a shadow of what BFII was, but I wanted a casual shooter to play online since I don't have any and I refuse to play any Call of Duty game.

    With that in mind, I must say my experience with this game was mixed. It ranged from incredible moments of intense gunplay to infuriating rage thanks to the retard matchmaking and the impossibility of playing with my friends. The game offer little content, certainly doesn't worth 60 bucks. But if you can get passed that you can still have some super casual fun, if you don't care about playing almost alone (only 1 "partner" allowed), and the unbalanced gameplay. And yes, it is unbalanced. I know it is casual but they managed to make a weapon in which you don't even have to aim, it kills in 1 shot, and can be combined with a perk that completely removes the cooldown. All that in a shooter. It is proof that DICE/EA don't take the game seriously.

    Positives:

    - Superb graphics. Seriously, this thing is pretty. Those forests and volcanic areas are jaw dropping;
    - Great map design for infantry modes, which is the ones I play the most. I've been a little disappointed with BF4 maps (after awesome BF3 maps). But in Battlefront they nailed it;
    - Dice really knows how to make the game sound vivid. The same intense sounds you've seen in Battlefield series;
    - Multiplayer is simple and can be fun if there isn't any jerk abusing OP weapons (which is rare).

    Negative
    - Worst content/cost ratio I've ever seen. No way this game has U$ 60 worth of content;
    - Unbalanced gameplay. Favors camping and non-skill players. There's no reason for you to play "fair", trying to have fun with your little laser gun, when everyone is using homing shot missiles in your face all the time. I could just do the same and use it but I refuse to. There's no fun in that. Fortunately I can still counter this homing shots and manage to perform nicely but I feel for people that doesn't;
    - Matchmaking is utterly broken. No server browser whatsoever and half of the time I have to wait for minutes to get into a match and the other half the game simply won't get me into any match at all. It just opens a new match with me and only me in it and no one else will fill the remaining slots. Until I give up playing a certain type of game;
    - The "space combat" is laughable. I've never seen something so underwhelming.

    With some tweaking on the gameplay and the servers this game could even be a decent choice for the casual player. It still is damn expensive for the amount of content it offers. There is some fun buried deep into this game but it is just too broken right now. This of course, if you can get passed the fact this was never meant to be a sequel to Battlefront II.    … Expand

    What's really disappointing about DICE's Star Wars Battlefront reboot is that after that magical feeling of nostalgia eventually dissipates, you're left with a game that has very little substance. What hammers that point even further is that more than half the game's content is locked behind an 'Online Only' wall. Offline players won't have long to exhaust what's available to them.

    The    What's really disappointing about DICE's Star Wars Battlefront reboot is that after that magical feeling of nostalgia eventually dissipates, you're left with a game that has very little substance. What hammers that point even further is that more than half the game's content is locked behind an 'Online Only' wall. Offline players won't have long to exhaust what's available to them.

    The graphics are top notch, but once you've tried every 'different' blaster, rifle or whatever, they all feel the same pretty much. The maps, once again, look great, but their orientation is limiting. Battles eventuate to being whoever shoots first (I'm looking at you Han Solo) or whoever gets finished off because their health meter was 90% depleted.

    Playing as heroes is no better: Once the magic of playing as Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, The Emperor, Boba Fett, Han Solo or Princess Leia wears off, you're instantly bored. This is also a downside when you compare this line-up of characters in comparison to the roster of heroes and villains available in Pandemic's Star Wars Battlefront 2.

    Not only that, but heroes in DICE's reboot have finite health, requiring players to scurry about and look-up for a health replenishment item. This means hero battles boil down to a frustrating race to keep your health topped up or prevent the other player from reaching said health item.

    For offline players, the Tutorials only hold that opportunity to pilot an X-Wing, a speeder and an AT-ST. Survival is probably the only replay worthy material, but this itself is a frustrating limited experience.

    Overall, Battlefront is a limited title that will quickly expire in terms of public interest. The only thing for DICE to do is to radically improve the inevitable sequel. For a real Star Wars Battlefront experience, play the 10 year old sequel released by Pandemic.    … Expand

For starters, there's no campaign mode of any kind. What single player content there is, is nothing more than either horde mode, training, or lackluster bot battles. And online play is just as lackluster, if not downright tedious at the best of times. Unlocks are a joke, and the only worth while cosmetic customizations are only available at max rank, so you have to grind for days just to look a little better than your peers. But that has a drawback because being the only shadow trooper on hoth or tatooine will make you stand out, and look like a nice and juicy target. The only people giving this game anything above a 5 are "professional" critics who were paid to give it a good review, or diehard star wars fans who think that just because it has the words Star Wars on the box, that makes it good. EA can do so much better than this. Do not waste a single penny on this game. If a friend gives it to you, go ahead and play it, but you'll quickly give it back.… Expand

There is just no cooperation or any semblance of teamwork within multiplayer, which would've been easy for DICE to implement, and it would be great for it to be in a new Battlefront game. But no. Not to mention DICE deciding to make no campaign at all! Instead of trying to make a good campaign, they just gave up and said "Nope!" How lazy! Overall, Star Wars: Battlefront is a painfully average game, that only just rises above the 5 score because of the excellent production values. I'm gonna say the same thing I said about Hardline, don't buy Battlefront. Buy BF4 or BF1, but don't buy this. It is simply not worth your money or time.… Expand

    Star Wars Battlefront is fun, but is plagued with too many issues for me to really recommend it to most people. But first off, I have to give credit where credit is due. The graphics are gorgeous, and the sound is good too (aside from the voice acting, of course). It really immerses you into the Star Wars universe. Game play is enjoyable, but far from perfect. Lightsaber fights are a huge letdown - take turns smacking each other until one of you dies, or catch the other player off guard, not letting them land a single hit on you, or even turn around for that matter. The shooting isn't bad, though. The game's online mode consists of nine game modes, (Ten with the free DLC) but I only really enjoy three or four. Anyone I've asked said it was the same way for them, so you'll most likely choose an handful of favourites and disregard the rest. The single player on the other hand, is an absolute joke. It'll last you maybe an hour or two before you leave it forever. The worst part, however, is the DLC. The 50 dollar season pass is advertised on the main menu, and a bunch of new maps and heroes are promised, essentially making this a $110 USD or $130 CAD game. This is ridiculous on it's own, but a sequel is reportedly already in development, meaning EA couldn't care less about actually creating the content people have already paid money for.

    The game is fun. I want to really enjoy it and play it consistently, but in it's current state, it's a bit of a train wreck. A recent update did fix some issues and added more free content, so EA must be trying something new. I'm happy to bump the score up to a 7 instead of a 6 because of that.    … Expand

The new SW Battlefront is extremely well made and doesn't have nearly as many problems as people are claiming. My 'Cons' list might be drastically longer than the 'Pros', but make no mistake this is an excellent game that I am still playing constantly.

    Pros -
    Presentation: The game looks and plays incredibly. Not only as a Star Wars entity, but as a game on its own. It almost makes me feel like I'm a kid, playing at the arcade on some high-budget Star Wars game that will never in a million years make it to console. But this truly is that game. The musical numbers from the trilogy are well selected, and it sounds and looks about as much as Star Wars as you can get.

    Multiplayer: Playing with friends is easy to set up and endlessly fun.

    Cons -

    Overall Game Interface: The title screen and menus for this game feel like a damn Health Insurance website. Having to register for some worthless EA account isn't exactly a pleasure either.

    Imbalanced Game Mechanics: During flying mode (Flight Squadron) it is pretty obvious that the Imperials have a disadvantage. While Rebel ships are equipped with shields, Tie fighters only have a boost which doesn't do much good in a battle. Maybe it would if this were a race...(or a Pod race)

    Heroes: I do not care for Hero mode. Nostalgia is not as important as gameplay and these guys are nearly impossible to kill unless you gang up on them.

    Simplicity: It's a simple game. You start on a menu, you select a game, and then you shoot lasers at each other and that's pretty much it. If you want more out of your video games, or just a more in depth open world choice-based experience, you won't find that in Battlefront.

    Content Releases: 50 dollars is a little steep for just the first quarter of an expansion (which so far is only 1 new level). And the 'new heroes' are just characters we already had (Nien Numb and a Rodian), with different color clothing. It just reeks of 'Scammery'.

    Once again, this game will grow on you. At first it is very simple, almost too simple. You start with very little inventory, and basically no customization options. But the more you play, the more you are able to unlock and you start to see how in depth this game really is. There are far more items, weapons and fighting mechanics than what seems at first glance. And I can't stress enough how much more fun it is to play if you have a friend or two. That seems to be how this game was meant to be played. Being a major Star Wars nerd doesn't hurt either.    … Expand

I first played through some of the solo missions, they were fun, but quickly got repetitive. I then decided to go through some of the training missions, basically code name for tutorials. The tutorials were okay, but the last one where you had to wrap an AT-AT with a cable like in Episode 5 was horrible. I didn't understand what it wanted me to do at all. I ended up just quitting it. So first of all in game design you're supposed to teach players how to play the game by putting the tutorials in the gameplay, in a way so that the player doesn't notice it's even there, not in a separate mode. Then one of the tutorials even failed to teach me how to do a key strategy for taking down a walker. I don't have PSN, so I couldn't play the multiplayer, just an FYI I find it completely stupid that I have to pay $50 to play the other half of the game my brother got me for I presume about the same amount. I did play some of the multiplayer during the beta though, and like other reviews, it's fun for a little while, but then it just gets repetitive and stale. I'll be playing this game every now and then with some friends, since thank God it does have local multiplayer. I look forward to having fun experiences playing this with friends. But if you just play it by yourself I'd either not buy it or way till it's a lot cheaper.… Expand

    This game does not have much depth although it is still a GOOD game. It may rely on expansion packs but so do most games these days so that did not bother me to much. You should get this game especially if you are a Star Wars fan!

    The game looks amazing, no doubt about that.
    But truth be told, it's an EA-game which means, you have (or better had) the opportunity to buy an advantage buy getting the way more expensive edition that lets you have the DL-44 at level 1 instead of level 25.
    Another contra is, that the endgame is really boring: At level 50 you probably have everything unlocked and from there it's just    The game looks amazing, no doubt about that.

    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).
    6th Con.: To keep it short: it kinda looks like battlefield.    … Expand

    Star Wars Battlefront is an... Okay game, I guess. On its own its okay (BUT NOT WORTH $60!) but very limited. Like seriously? An FPS with no local co-op while playing online, and only 2 gamemodes that let you play local co-op at all? But why it gets such a low score is because it is half the game that Battlefront II. While Battlefront II had over 20 maps, Battlefront 2015 only has 12Star Wars Battlefront is an... Okay game, I guess. On its own its okay (BUT NOT WORTH $60!) but very limited. Like seriously?

While Battlefront II had over 20 maps, Battlefront 2015 only has 12 (they'll probably try to sell DLC maps too instead of putting them in the game). And they took out Clones vs. Droids gamemodes. There is only Imperials vs Rebels now. And now you can't choose different characters to play as. You're pretty much randomly assigned an outfit according to the map. It's an okay game, but compared to its PREDECESSORS it completely fails.… 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]
