    £49.99 for the base game is already expensive for a PC game in my opinion, but the fact that it is merely a shell for paid DLC is disgusting. £95 for a game? **** off.

It is Battlefield with Star Wars, but it doesn't even do a good job of being a Battlefield clone. The offline is a joke (2 player splitscreen over two pretty easy and boring game modes). The online customization is limited compared to other online FPS, customizing your character consists of changing a hairstyle or skin color, and there is no gun customization. There are only a few maps, and they are mostly pretty dull and uninspired. I don't know why they cut the prequels out of this game, as that removes almost all of the fun lightsaber-wielding heroes (not that it matters, they did away with assault) and many of my favorite locations. Speaking of heroes, there are only 6, including Leia (over Chewbacca and Yoda) and their combat is 3 abilities that are not fun to use (I did enjoy lightsaber throw) and have long cooldowns. Battles feel small and characters die too fast. There are only a few fun game modes online, and those get boring.

    They turned this game into an online FPS. However, it is greatly outclassed in fun and amount of content by most competitors. If you really want to try it out, rent it from Redbox or Gamefly first. This game was clearly rushed to be released before the movie to increase sales.    … Expand

    This is not starwars, is star BATTLEFIELD version DLC, as a fan of the Star Wars universe I feel cheated, a game that costs about 70 € and with a contended insulting and most importantly no story mode is for EA to rethink follow industry because players will not buy such rubbish.

    The biggest flaw about this game isn't that it's nothing like Battlefront 1 or 2, nor is it the overpriced DLC. It isn't even the fact that there's no single player campaign. No...the biggest flaw is FAR worse.

    - just 4 planets at launch compared to 18 ( + 6 space maps ) in SWBF2
    - max. player count of 40 players ( compared to 64 on SWBF2 PC TEN years ago
    - Cargo ( CTF ) is just 6 vs 6 players ( compared to 12 vs 12 on SWBF2 on PS2! )
    - No dodge roll ( every Battlefront veteran knows that was a core game mechanic )
    - 6 heroes compared to about 18 in SWBF2
    - AT-AT on rails
    - Tow-Cable shot doesn't have to be aimed, it's just pressing two buttons
    - Snowspeeder circling the AT-AT is on rails and you play a mini-game instead of flying it yourself
    - Infinite Grenades ( the game is an explosion spamfest )
    - Infinite ammo
    - Vehicle lock-on like there's no tomorrow
    - Infantry lock-on
    - Literally no skill gap

    I could go on but you see where I'm going with this.
    It utterly disappoints as a Battlefront game.
    Especially compared to what Free Radical had envisioned for the franchise.

    The game's graphics and sounds are amazing but they won't keep players interested for long.
    EA will try to keep this game alive through DLCs.

    Battlefront veterans have been waiting 7+ years on a sequel to the franchise.
    Then we get this.

    So for a Battlefront game I can only give this game 0/10 points.

    As a shooter it's slightly better, but still far from being worth the 120 bucks for the full game.
    Especially compared to games like Battlefield or Counter Strike.

    If you have a lot of money to spare, don't care about the degradation of the gaming industry if you support and buy this game, only play 1-2 hours in two weeks, then buying it might be an option.

    For everyone else I recommend avoiding this game either until the price has dropped immensely, or not buying it at all.

    I'm a huge Star Wars fan myself, you can tell that from my name but...
    I will do what I must....
    and refrain from buying this game at all.    … Expand

    4 Maps, 11 weapons. Game modes that are all have the same mechanics. No progression path apart from XP rank levelling.

    They have definitely split the game in two so you have to pay double to get the rest of the content which is only days away.

    I have never played a game lacking so much from such a big developer.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Horrible. There is no true single player campaign and the rest is repetitive. Do not waste your Christmas money like I did. This game is getting returned ASAP. This whole idea of holding back content and/or releasing un-finished games is ridiculous. These games already cost $60 and paying more $$$ to get the rest of the game is a rip-off. Oh yeah, the vehicles controls are awful too! I love Star Wars and could play a mediocre game just because of the genre. That should say how bad this game is right there.

Then I actually sat down and played, at first I was like this blows but i'll give it a shot. Now I release this isn't remotely close to the last two previous installments and they cut out logical key points in this game. For one in order to get inside a vehicle you don' go find a vehicle like in the last two. You hover over a magical token and then get transported to a whole other location inside the vehicle matching the token. Each vehicle can be destroyed in short of 5 hits (unless your in an aircraft then its two) This game ignores balancing weapons. A pistol can kill you in o shots in which a long range rifle takes several shots to accomplish. There is no story mode just a confusing battle of 40 players. No strategy involved just run up to a enemy and start tossing grenades. The number one thing that makes me uppset is there is no scaling system, no good players fight good players it is just a random slotted game to where new players could be pitted against seemingly maxed level players who just dominate. I have been on boh sides of that were the score can be 15-100 or 100-45. The re spawn system, is utter crap you spawn behind the enemy lines and flank the entire team adding the factor that your allies can spawn on you (which is bs) they erased the Control point spawns and choosing what CP you wish to spawn at. The terrain is difficult to tread over as many points in the game take several tries to jump over a simple log. When throwing any type of grenade if you are killed your grenade ceases to exist. It should at lease drop to the ground but if killed the game doesn't registering even thrown it. You can unlock every weapon in a span of one week and thats for an average gamer. There is no extended content just multiplayer scenarios that were thrown into the mix. I gave this game a 0 on the rating yes this game is fun (for about 4 hours) the graphics are amazing and the infantry controls are pleasing to play but it appalled me of how they created a bull S&it game and tried to cover it up with good graphics a amazing marketing promotion. The man who was in charge of there marketing division should get a promotion because with out him many people would not have even bought this game in the first place. I have so SO much more to talk about but this just gets me angrier and angrier thinking about it. My copy goes back today.… Expand

Astounding. Simply astounding.

    I think the most interesting thing about EA "Wanna-be" Battlefront is just how much MORE content the old Battlefront games had than this new one does, and that was 10 years ago back in 2005....

    Let's compare shall we? What does Star wars Battlefront 2 from 2005 have that EA "Wanna-be" battlefront doesn't?

    *a campaign
    *command posts
    *reinforcement counts
    *balanced gameplay
    *good spawns
    *space combat
    *a nice ranking system (for 2005, but yet STILL better than this one's ranking system. How did that happen?)
    *Good light saber combat
    *Better ground vehicles
    *galactic conquest
    *32vs32
    *good squad combat

    And plenty more. For ANYONE even CONSIDERING handing over their hard earned money for this half-assed game that looks and sounds good and that's about it; might I suggest that you head over to steam, throw down $10 for Battlefront 2, and play that instead.

    I am not lying or exaggerating when I say that EA "Wanna-be" Battlefront will give you less satisfying playtime than Battlefront 2, a game that will only cost you $10 and was made a little over a decade ago.

    P.S Star Wars Battlefront 1&2 was developed by Pandemic studios. In 2009, EA shut them down. So yeah, there's that too.    … Expand

    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.
