    This game has great sound and graphics. One of the most visually and aurally impressive games ever.

    This is not a great game though. It is very pretty and very shallow and lacking of content. There are a lot of game modes, but there is no context to them.

    At launch there are lots of sound and networking bugs as well.

    This gets us to the game play. It's too fast to die.
    You spawn, you die. You walk a bit, you die. You finally see a guy and get him, but then you die.
    die.die.die.

    Not for me. Needs some of the Star Wars magic, not just the great A/V presentation.

    Also very expensive for so little actual game. At launch it was $79.99 CDN, and the DLC pack for a year is another $69.99. That is insane. EA needs to pull it's head out. There is no game here, just pretty graphics. They should be offering a year of DLC as part of that ridiculous $*) for a game charge.

    Not recommended unless they drop the price, or offer a lot of free content and game fixes.    … Expand

    EA Greed Strikes Back should be the title of this disasterpiece. Yes, the graphics are incredible - hence the "1" score. The 9 other missing points are for the lack of fun, content, and the incessant over-charging EA continuously does AND GETS AWAY WITH.

    Well...i played it, how do I say without Star Wars Fans killing me...
    This Game is quite boring. If you want to play a Game like this, you could play Battlefield, because this is just another BF Game, for the exception, its not very fun to play.

There is a lack of variety for a AAA 2015 game, you can tell immediately that EA has not put in the effort to make this truely a star wars game. Its just a cash out on star wars for them
    2. Campaign is a total joke, they had to put it in just for the sake of having a offline coop mode (complete garbage of waves of NPC to kill)
    3. The lack of classes, this right here was a lazy move by EA, instead of creating various classes and models they just created 1 SAMPLE model for all people to play with COD style progression.

    Starwars Battlefront 2 a PS2 GAME has WAY more content than this next gen game. Galactic Conquest, space battles, dozens of maps, campaigns, etc. This has nothing. This was made by the wrong company. This is not Battlefront. The game that was supposed to come out for ps3 and xbox 360 looked 5x better. This is a joke. This is just a standard battlefield skinned shooter.

Theres rolesand vehicles, progressive epic giagantic battles. Of course some CQB aswell. I would think they'd have 128 players going at it perfectly balanced after all they've leared from battlefield 3 and 4. This is the worst game I have ever played, it goes back to **** when I was kid at the beginning of the last consoles life with the same ****ty graphics from that time, it is worse then games like Warhawk for ps3, which had better graphics and gameplay.

    They had everything to make a good game but it seems that there is just money that matters to EA. $ 80 plus tax for a game that does not contain a single player or multiplayer and game mode are all the same, excluding dlc to 69$ so 150$ plus tax for a full game. This game is a shame for the players.

    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 ****

They just focus on the K/D ratio. Nothing else. The sounds are amazing, it looks amazing, but the "game", there is nothing. I played it for 3 hours, and got so. Utterly. Bored. It is so repetitive. There is no meat to the game. People only give it a pass because it is Star Wars. This is not a $60 game. Not at all. Maybe $30. At most. Only because of the graphics and sound.

    The game removes any feeling of usefulness. You feel like the random Stormtroopers in the films who get shot before they pull the trigger. Then you magically respawn and do the same thing. In other games, you feel like you at least do SOMETHING for your team. You may be the worst on it, but you still feel like you did something. Here? Not a thing. You feel like a plastic bag used for target practice.

    They removed Space Battles because why not, and made it become part of the regular battles. Dumb move. The maps are too big for land troops to get anywhere, and because of ridiculous logic, you get shot with a pistol across the map. But they are also too small for ships. You can't go 8 seconds in one direction before you are out of bounds. And the controls....OH MY LORD THE CONTROLS. You can't control them for piss, and if an enemy comes up behind you, you're done. You can't retaliate. If they get behind you, the controls do not allow you to even attempt to swing around and retaliate.

    The "game" has nothing there. There is nothing but a few modes, "which arent that great", and thats it. No story, no campaign, no singleplayer, and the price for this, plus dlc is insane. I can't believe they thought releasing this piece of garbage was alright.    … Expand

    After 10 years and 2 cancelled projects that robbed us of a chance to battle the planets of Star Wars, a sequel has been released and it has arrived in a mixed bag.

I've played over 60 hours of this game and after the first 25 hours I didn't have too many grievances outside of EA's bad business plan. However the next 25 hours proved that the more I played it the more complaints I had about the gameplay.

    Positives:
    + Graphically the game looks fantastic and feels smooth. If any game deserves a optimisation and graphics award for 2015 its DICE for Battlefront. Very few frame dips below 60 even on console and very few(if any) glitches or bugs. Game feels like you're stepping into the Star Wars Universe.

    + Card System. While many criticise the card system compared to DICE's usual secondary weapons/ class modes I find it creates a better battle and more chaos which is always fun. Only having to wait for a grenade to refill is a lot better than having to wonder around looking for an ammo bag or someone who drops an ammo bag and shooting at them to try and communicate the face you need ammo.

    + Turning Point, Supremecy and Walker Assault. The 3 best modes in the game are massive and chaotic exactly what you'd expect from Star Wars battles. I do wish that had added conquest to these as well.

    + Fighter Squadron and Air vehicles. I do think they really nailed the controls for the air vehicles. I could never get the hang of the controls for the jets in battlefield and didnt think I would enjoy Fighter Squadron. How wrong I was. The controls, the speed and the open area of air space makes it easy to take flight in one of the vehicles.

    + Heroes and Villians, Playing as both heroes and villians is awesome. Each hero has their own ability set which are useful in certain game modes if you use them right. There is the game mode Heroes v Villians which really makes being the hero more challenging than getting a power up in regular games.

    Negatives:
    - Lack of maps and depth. Yep like everyone else I really hate that it was rushed out before the film to take advantage of the hype of the film. You can see it in the lack of maps, weapons, game modes and single player. If they had waited another 6 months they would have had a good solid game that wouldnt have everyone frothing at the mouth because of the disappointment. And then to charge $50 for a season pass is beyond ridiculous.

    - Game is too casual. I get that they wanted it to have an arcadic feel like the old games but I was hoping for a bit more of a competitive edge. Killing from afar is ridiculously easy even with a weapon that doesnt have a great distance rating, theres no bullet drop and zero recoil. Also there is Aim Assist to really show it casualness.

    - Imbalance between Empire and Rebels. Theres no consistency in balance in the game modes. Some maps and game modes its better to be the rebels and others its better to be the empire. In Walker Assault the empire have AT-ATs and AT-STs while the rebels have nothing. In Endor the empire only has only AT-AT, have camouflaged gear making them hard to see and some of the objective points are in really advantaged defence points.

    - Bobba Fett is ridiculously overpowered. He can fly in the air for an almost unlimited amount of time, has powerful main weapon and targeted torpedo secondary weapon. Hes really hard to hit and he can easily hit you. The hero ships in fighter squadron are ridiculously overpowered as well. It takes a huge amount of shots and time to shoot down either Slave I or Millennium Falcon.

    - DICE still have not been able to fix the collider issues with Frostbite 3. So many times I'd be trying to jump over a small rock or bit of debris and would get stuck. And these are small colliders where if it was in reality a small little jump would be enough to clear it.

    - Air Vehicles slow down. I really don't know why they decided to include this but when you pul back on the left analog when flying an air vehicle you can slow it right down. This means you're practically in the one spot and are able to turn 180 degrees without problem so you can continue to track a ship when they try to evade you. However this means that the ship is never able to evade you making the basic maneuvers absolutely pointless and makes the Fighter Squadron mode far too easy.

    Overall its a good shooter but falls flat due to its own bad publisher plan and by going the casual route. A lot of changes will need to be made in any future sequels to win back many fans.    … Expand

    Like everyone else, I was excited for a star wars battlefront game. I couldn't help but reminisce about the old times playing galactic conquest on PS2 with my friends for hours. Though I was skeptical about DICE's reboot, deep down I couldn't wait for the release date.

    First off I will talk about the positives this game has to bring to the table.
    1. This game is absolutely incredible to look at. The visuals are simply breath taking and at times you can't help but just sit back and look at how incredible everything looks.

    2. The game is incredibly casual and easy to pick up and play. It is understandable why DICE made this game so simple and casual, they need to appeal to as many people as possible. That being said, if you're someone who doesn't have a lot of time to dedicate to playing a game, then this is great for you, because this game requires virtually zero skill to play. Simply put, the game is incredibly simple to play, you'll dominate if you're a Battlefield Veteran like I am.

    3. Last one for the positives. When it really comes down to what is important, the game is fun to play. I've definitely had fun running around on Hoth gunning down rebels as an AT-ST, I have to admit.

    Here comes the main reasons why I only gave this game a 5. Most people would consider a 5 to be a pretty bad score (or at least I do) and this is why I consider Star Wars Battlefront to be a pretty bad game.

    1. The game is INCREDIBLY casual. I know I listed that as a positive, but it's also a negative and this is why. The game gets boring and repetitive incredibly fast! There is very little variety in this game and it is very apparent that DICE was (once again) rushed to release this game. It seems that there are about 4 maps in the entire game and things get very repetitive. There are no classes in this game and your "load out" will be pretty much the same every single game since you will inevitably gravitate towards one load out that works best for you. This, for me, is very disappointing since I loved how the original Battlefront was balanced with the different classes, this game has none of that which, for lack of better words, sucks.

    2. The game has no story mode. This is a big one that people are very disappointed about. I know this one has been mentioned constantly, that's why I'm not going to talk about it.

    3. This game gets boring faster than watching paint dry. If I'm being completely honest, this game doesn't have much when it comes to replay value. There are 2 or 3 game modes that are fun to play, other than those the game simply won't keep you coming back for more. You will inevitably get bored after about a half hour and will stop playing. That's what happens to me every time I play.

    Simply put, I have no doubts that anybody that plays this game will have fun for the first couple hours that they play it, but other than that I wouldn't say that it will keep you playing for the next year. Wait for a price drop and buy it, don't pay 60 dollars for a game that has 30 dollars worth of enjoyment with it. After the aw over the visuals wears off, you will be done with the game.    … Expand

The game is only multiplayer so anyone looking for a single player experience will be disappointed. The multiplayer has 9 game modes, some of witch are very similar but some stand out like: Walker Assault and Supremacy, Walker Assault seems to be the fan favorite. It focuses on rebels trying to bring down walkers and the empire defending them. Player customization is a nice way to keep the game fresh, you can choose your blaster and 3 "Star Cards" that can give you things like a jet pack or sniper rifle but then extremely cheap things like a homing missile that can become frustrating. I do wish they added more Star Cards, some feel totally useless and don't add much to the game. Customization for your character is extremely overpriced,Minimule and only unlocked once you have experienced most of the game. It's awesome hearing your blaster going Pew Pew but I do wish they explained upon them more, after awhile you just use the same gun. Battlefront also has a co-op game-mode where you and 1 friend can work through waves of enimes in the most original idea for a game since Candy Crush.
    Battlefront is extremely fun in small bursts and captures the Star Wars universe very well but I feel like there was lots of wasted potential here. It could have been so much more of a game and if you compare this to the Canceled Battlefront 3 or even 2 (for the PS2)it feels like a lot is missing.

These missions are boring at best, and mediocre at worst, and they honestly won't hold you for very long. But most people(sadly) don't care about a single-player campaign in this type of game, so how is the multiplayer? Well, the multiplayer is honestly, what's the word, BROKEN. If you go on the servers, expect glitches, overpowered weapons, annoying players, a surprisingly small amount of maps(seriously, there are only 4 REAL maps), and some of the worst customization I have ever seen. Slap on a ton of micro-transactions and a $60 price tag, and you get this failure of game, and I hope that most of these problems are fixed in the already confirmed sequel, but honestly, I doubt it.… Expand

Without a doubt, the fact that they released this game without a campaign was a very poor decision. I mean, this is Star Wars. It screams for a story. Second is character progression. There is no weapon customization, there are limited weapons, and there is no building up a weapon. You could use the same weapon for over 10,000 kills and it will be the same gun you used for kill 1. No weapon progression. I like the star card aspect, it allows some customization depending on how you like to play. Im glad they are releasing a free DLC but they really had no choice. The game needs more for $60.… Expand

Its multiplayer is astounding- for the first few hours. After that, the repetition of the game's core mechanics and incredibly redundant perks, known as "cards", becomes quite tiresome. Singleplayer is a joke, as is local splitscreen. No longer can you wage huge battles with or against your friends locally, that mode has been reduced to a strictly competitive 4v4 death match, rendering local play pretty boring. Survival mode is fun the first time, but also quickly grows stale.

    With only 4 actual maps (Tatooine, Endor, Hoth, Sullust) and no ground vehicle options for the Rebel side, it's obvious this game was a money grab through and through. It is not worth retail, and I can only thank the lord I didn't opt for the deluxe edition since you get all the deluxe content in the regular edition anyways, just at a later stage in the game. I hope beyond all hope the free content I've been hearing about comes and in droves, this game sorely needs new maps, BETTER (not more) game modes, and a vehicle rehashing.

    More negatives: you can't customize your weapons, squads are reduced to simply you and one other partner, you can't identify enemies on the battlefield like in Battlefield, you have literally no sidearm ever except your cards (which I feel takes a layer out of the multiplayer experience as I sit and wait for my sniper rifle to recharge for 30 seconds in an excellent position), air combat is incredibly easy and with incredibly predictable spawns makes retaking aerial supremacy downright impossible... I could go on all day.

    It looks fantastic and the sound design is the best video games have to offer, but do not be fooled and judge this book by its cover. You're better off getting Fallout 4 and Rainbow Six Siege this holiday season, at least until the free content downloads start coming.    … Expand

The graphics are top notch, for once I feel like I'm actually inside a Star Wars film, the maps are practically replicas of the sets from the original films. Content wise, this is where most seem to be disappointed, it is definitely lacking as of launch. From a consumers stand point, this is unacceptable, from the Devs standpoint, they were pushed to release this before the new film releases so most of the time was put to authenticity. Dice promise lots of free support on top of the atrociously priced DLC season pass, which starts in early Decemeber. The modes are mostly fun but are typical shooter fare, minus one called Hero Hunt which is all based on cheap tactics and luck to win, but the true catch here are the two larger scale modes. These are Walker Assault and Supremacy. Walker Assault pits Rebels against Imperials with heavy artillery within a time limit to destroy all Imperial AT-AT's or have their base destroyed resulting in loss. Supremacy is very much Battlefields classic conquest mode with a catch, instead of losing respawn tickets both teams are fighting over capturing all the control points, being whoever has them all by the end or who has the most wins. Overall I see this as a very niche game, it will appeal mostly to Star Wars fans and casual shooter players like myself (I tend to pop in an online shooter for maybe a couple hours once or twice a week). This game most likely won't appeal to the COD or Halo fan, even Battlefield fans and this is a game developed by DICE, all because it lacks depth or realism. The game is very arcadey and doesn't hold hundered of levels worth of in game unlocks as of launch. This is a game you pick up and play every once in awhile, it is not the kind of game you'll throw 100's hours online into a game like in Battlefield. But with DICE's promise of free post launch update content I have hope for this game to become something much better. As of now I can't go higher than a 6/10, although I'm enjoying the game I can't justify the lack of content at launch for $60. Maybe in a few months it will be worth it. But in my opinion the season pass fiasco has gotten out of hand. No games post launch content should double the price of a game and I am boycotting EA by not purchasing any of the DLC just as I did with BF3 and BF4.… Expand

    Star Wars Battlefront suffers from the same problems many other online only boxed releases suffer. At its current price Battlefront doesn't justify it with the amount of content available. This doesn't mean that the content available is bad though but that its leaving me wanting more.

    If DICE had just made this gorgeous game a skin for Battlefield 4 it would have been great.

    Primarily, I think the lack of spawn point selection ruins Battlefront. The game might spawn you out in the middle of a field, or inside some tight corridor, but you'll have no idea until after you've selected your weapons, making even the minimal loudout ("hand") choices offered almost useless.

    I've always loved the vehicles in Battlefield, where you can grab a tank, boat, or plane almost whenever you want. But with the Battlefront "powerup" system, you'll be lucky to see the inside of an AT-AT or AT-ST if you play Conquest/Supremacy mode for the whole weekend.

    The game is also very disorienting, as you rarely know where the bad guys are. Spawn points flip around during the round, so half of them are in front of you and half behind you, and often, they'll start spawning all around you. There's rarely a clear "front line" for more than a short time.

    The game doesn't balance teams well either. I've been stuck in 12 on 4 a number of times. I also added my friend in a party as a "partner" (still lamenting the lack of squads), and actually had it fail to make us partners when we joined a server.

    Overall, this game is just run and gun chaos which gets boring quickly, and has none of the tactical play, weapon classes, or vehicles of Battlefield, a game which I returned to playing after a couple weeks of frustration in Battlefront.    … Expand

    What did we all love about battlefront 1 and 2? (TEN YEARS AGO!) the ability to command a few troops to batter some rebels? or to navigate a huge map like geonosis and having to tactically choose spawn locations? having ENOUGH space to fly my fighters? being able to play as clones and droids? And of course having an awesome campaign where you take over the galaxy and destroy all in your path?...this is what we loved, but what EA heard was:
    'how about scrap ALL of that, make the maps tiny, vehicles pointless, ditch that story mode, and sh*t all over the expectations of eager fans after a decade of waiting/hoping for us to make this thing great, and then sh*t on them again by making half the game a stupidly priced DLC!'

    -Not a fan of grenade recharge. Why can't it just be like Halo 3 where you carry two grenades and get more from around the map.
    -Very slim pickings of games both on and offline games. Offline missions are extremely repetitive.
    -No vehicles in normal game-play, all are in separate modes so far as I could tell. Doesn't feel like old battlefront. (Half the fun of old battlefront was getting into a tank and racking up an absurd amount of kills.)

    Yes, there are NOT enough maps at all (pretty much only 4), but the saying the game does not have enough content is ludicrous! There are a bunch of different game modes to play, and coop missions too along with admittedly tedious and limited customisation, but it's still there if you want it.
    Now why should you not hate? It's simple; the game provides fun and exciting gameplay that really capture the essence of star wars. Sound tracks are (for the most part) great and sound design is astonishing! The guns are fun to use and combat is hectic but solid. The graphics are movie-like, seeing some of the stuff happen in game brings a tear to your eye at how good it is!
    Honestly though, I am pissed about EA's money whoring season pass but i'm still enjoying the game, and i'm not being childish about it. Sadly doesn't live up to the originals but is a worthy contemporary take on the game. I will buy the season pass mainly because i'm enjoying the game and if you don't like the game don't worry, you don't have to buy the game!
    On an additional note, voice acting is a little dodgy. It's a good, fun game, and looks incredible. Don't mess up the ratings systems with your tantrums.

The expensive season pass does sure have some great content, but it isnt worth the price, I really want it but I dont want to pay the games price over again just to get that more content so I will just stick to the game as it is, enjoy it and wait for the season pass to lower in price which I hope it does.
    One thing EA could have done was to add the content in the game and take a little bit more for the game, I think that would make the game more attractive.

    That being said, the game itself. It's an okay shooter (although simplistic in its mechanics), that can be fun. But unfortunately, there are so many flaws to SW-Battlefront that, no matter how much of a hardcore fan you are, can't be forgiven:

    1) No single-player content at all (the single player stuff barely qualifies in my opinion, as it is just a boredom fest).

    2) Very limited options in terms of game modes and maps. It gets old and thin really fast.

    3) EXTREMELY slow progress to a point where you might ask yourself: "why bother?".

    4) Almost non existent character customization (the current one is bullsh*t).

    5) Just one airship battle (why not include a space battle?).

    6) Reeks of and leaks EA's greed. It's so obvious EA (yet again) has released an incomplete game, to keep charging the gamers later on with DLC, that is almost obscene. It's disgusting. There is a 50 dollar Season Pass to stuff nobody knows the details and that will give content that could have been inside the original release (more maps, planets, heroes, modes).

There's no sort of campaign, which would've been a great addition; seriously, it's STAR WARS. The combat can get repetitive, the progression system is lackluster, and sometimes there really is no point to coming back to the game. I felt as if there could have been a lot more that this game could've given us, like space battles with TIE fighters and X-Wings or maybe even pod-racing.
    Overall, Battlefront is not a bad game, by any means. It makes you feel as if you're in the Star Wars universe, and the co-op and solo missions are great! However, there is hardly anything to come back to. It's fun for the most part, but after that, it's just average.

    Also people complain about it not having more advanced features that modern shooters often have, but I personally think that it reduces the ridiculous amount of overpowering force an advanced player can bring to bear against someone new to the game. Someone at level 50 can be brought down by a new player if the new player knows what they are doing.

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.

    That being said the fact that it is an EA game, we all know there is a bigger business plan in the works. They have for sure stripped down the original release of this game and it is no mystery they are going to be releasing it in expansion packs. I can say right now this game is still fun to play, it's great to pick up and play a few rounds with your friends but it is lacking in the amount and quality of content at this point.

    After about 2 or 3 expansion pass releases this game should be at a great point, but the fact that we need to wait that long does put a damper on the overall experience. Either way if you love the Star Wars universe this is a great game and even though the Empire (EA) is trying to hold it back and make some more money I think the content that will be released will make it that much better.    … Expand

    Controls: 2/10 The fact that I am forced to keep my aim/shoot on L2-R2 where almost every other FPS is L1-R1 is a massive mistake. It feels unnatural. It feels uncomfortable. Its down right annoying. There should ALWAYS be a plethora of control options so players can tailor the controls to how they see fit.

    Targeting: 3/10The targeting is horrible. As many flaws as Destiny had, its core game-play should be a model for all FPS games. Battlefront is like trying to shoot clay pigeons with a shotgun. You have to lead your target whether your target is far or near. It just doesn't feel natural. That being said, I do like having to lead my target with long distant sniping. It actually requires skill and is very rewarding.

    Graphics: 10/10 Not much to say here. One of the most, if not the best, looking games on the PS4.

    SFX: 9/10

    Content: 6/10 There are enough different game modes to keep the PvP interesting for some time but the lack of campaign is difficult to swallow. Considering the scale of the Star Wars universe and what the core game delivered, its evident that EA will milk this game through DLC.

    Recommendations: Wait to pickup a used copy. Its a fun game to sit down and burn an hour or two but for extended periods of time it gets boring and probably will just make you suck at other FPS games considering how wack the aiming and controls are.    … Expand

    There is a lot of hate on here for this game but I'm here to tell you that 90% of it is nonsense. This is a good game. It has it's flaws but I have had a lot of fun with it already.

    Positives: Graphics and Sound - Just... wow! So true to the original films and so immersive. Voice acting of heroes isn't great but you seldom play as them and get over it pretty quick. Gameplay -    There is a lot of hate on here for this game but I'm here to tell you that 90% of it is nonsense. This is a good game. It has it's flaws but I have had a lot of fun with it already.

    Positives:

    Graphics and Sound - Just... wow! So true to the original films and so immersive. Voice acting of heroes isn't great but you seldom play as them and get over it pretty quick.

    Gameplay - Arcade-style (no ADS) shooter but it works well and fits with the way previous Battlefronts played. Grenades aren't TOO spammy and things like the homing missile which could be game-breakingly OP have been tuned well and if you're by cover you can avoid them.

    Flying - This is not a flight simulator and the controls are relatively basic, but again, they work well and there is definitely a huge difference between skilled and new pilots. I am still learning new ways to shake of determined pursuers. If you can achieve air superiority in walker assault you can have a massive influence on the game. Strafing runs on ground targets can be absolutely devastating and really fun!

    Game modes - Walker Assault and Supremacy are the main ones but I disagree that other modes are redundant. I've had a lot of fun with Fighter Squadron and Blast (TDM) so far and am yet to try Droid run or Drop Zone.

    Accessibility/Skill Cap - You can pick up this game and learn the basics in no time making it great fun and very accessible. Equally, the difference between a skilled player and novice one is sizable. Especially in air combat! If you're skilled you can have a sizable influence on the outcome of a game by playing the objectives properly. I think the people who don't enjoy this game are the people who try to play it like cod and sneak round the side and try to just rake in kills. In a 40v40 game with accessible controls and vehicles, someone is definitely going to kill you if you try that and you wont be going on many mad kill streaks that way.

    Negatives:

    Content Quantity - everyone has massively over-stated this but in fairness, I do think they're about 2 planets short of a sufficiently large game to warrant the price tag. The Battle of Jakku will be free when it comes out in Dec so really, they're only one planet short which is forgivable.

    Weapon Design - Blasters handle quite bizarrely at long range. Some are technically accurate (i.e. a small spread) but often the lasers don't seem to be going where you expect and it takes some mental adjustment. Equally, a fully-auto blaster can hit and quickly kill you from absolutely miles away if shot right and can make for some somewhat frustrating long-range stand-offs and really random deaths at times. The actual sniper rifle star card is reasonably challenging to use and should be the main method of sniping at range, I think blasters should be significantly tuned-down at longer ranges. Also turrets and vehicles like the AT-ST handle very strangely. Often find myself needing to aim much higher than the crosshairs would make you believe in order to shoot where I want to. Needs some patching but not game-breaking in any way.

    Team Balancing - the teams in a lobby will stay the same game after game (and you alternate between Rebel and Imperial each match. This is fine most of the time but occasionally you will get a very unbalanced lobby with one very dominant team which remains the same game after game. You can just leave the lobby but it's not ideal. The partner system seems to prevent massive premades though so that helps a bit.

    All in all, this is a great game and I actually enjoy playing this with a friend more than CoD (although cod edges it out for solo-queuing as I love hardcore mode). It certainly has it's place in my collection along side Black Ops 3 and Fallout 4 for this winter and with a few adjustments could be a top-notch multiplayer game.    … Expand

In the films you don't see all these different varieties of stormtroopers with different weapons and I think they have done well putting the stuff in they did.

The graphics are gorgeous, the game-play is fun, and the atmosphere of this game absorbs you into it and makes you feel apart of the Star Wars universe. There are 10 game-modes now because of the free DLC, and they are all very fun. There are a few single player missions that are fun with friends, and still kind of enjoyable alone. This game was made with Star Wars fans in mind, and only buy this is you are one.
    The game may be lacking in content a little bit, and may become a bit repetitive thanks to the game-modes being to similar to each other, but overall as long as you allow yourself to be absorbed into the atmosphere, then this game will never get old.

    Lets get down to business:

    Graphics- beautiful, and most importantly, looks like star wars. 9/10

    ambiance- this maybe the best part of the game. The sounds and feels of the game are spectacular, and every time you hear the screech of a tie fighter or the zing of a blaster, you feel at home 9/10

    game-play- wickedly fun, for the first few hours. The game-modes are repetitive and annoying at some times, but as long as you take small enough doses of this game you will always finding yourself coming back for more of the beauty and fun and fun of this game. The gun-play is fast and smooth, animations are flawless, and heroes and power-ups add a little more fun into each game-mode, but it still isn't enough at sometimes. 7/10

    maps- Big and beautiful and full of nostalgia and star wars beauty. There may not be to many of them, but they all seem to give me the feels. 8/10

    game-modes- ah, the game-modes. There are now 10 of them, but most of them feel the same. My favorites are probably walker assault and drop-zone, and basically all the rest are variations of those. It is disappointing because EA DICE could have made some really cool game-modes, but of course there is the DLC. Oh wait. its 50 dollars. 6/10

    Customization- The star card system is interesting, but the idea of cards refreshing to be used again is hard to get right. there is a good amount of customizing with star cards, and allows for endless variations of cards. The emotes are cool, and there are many different facial customization to choose from too. Unfortunately, there aren't to many guns to choose from. 8/10

    now for the final verdict. Star Wars battlefront is a good game, but not a great game. it exceeds in big pretty maps, nostalgia, and fun , fast game-play. Sadly, it falls due to repetitive, to similar game-modes and lack of content. Hey, this is the age that developers hold back content and sell it as DLC later, right? (I'm looking at you, Destiny.)

    Simple controlss easy to use, tutorial is easy, quick and you know all the controls to go out and get kills

    In supremacy, it is absolute madness outdoing the ground war mode of call of duty. Almost everything in this beats call of duty as a first person shooter, maps are huge, vehicles are more useable. Very easy to see that this game is developed by the same guys as battlefield but just fantastic

    No weapons are blatantly more over powered and remarks that it is dominated by those who play a lot more is rubbish, you may get killed a few times and they will pop up top of the leaderboard but there's plenty of chances to get your own back.

    The complaint of the DLC is also ridiculous, I'm not buying it because I don't have too! The game is good enough as it is, the complaint is just people being petty and not playing the game as it should be played, a first person shooter with actual gameplay in mind.

    Perfect for those who love their Star Wars and FPS's, best shooter of 2015 and best shooter of mine for years to come, mind this is very much my opinion and my wantings in a game, very multiplayer based but it's so good and diverse it washes away the lack of single player modes.

    Not a scratch on Battlefront 2 or even 1 (which is over ten years old). The ONLY pro is some good visuals, but I expect that from most big company AAA releases these days. This game lacks in content and ignores its roots.

This game lacks in content and ignores its roots.

    The old games were built on classes. This created synergy in teams and roles. It also meant an even field with no pay to win. There is pay to win in SWBF reboot. One gun has pretty much to stats in everything, so it is the gun you need to be competitive, and if you want to unlock everything you must get paid DLCs. This is unacceptable for a full price game. There is less content than most F2P games aswell.

    There are no space battles, half of the fun of bf2, but there is lame sky battles that consist of escorting a ship to safety. The controls are dumbed down and it is no where near as fun as trying to destroy the enemies mothership in bf2. No strategy, just chaos.

    Vehicles are few in the ground games. They are also not varied and usually consist of perhaps an X wing, which you get from getting power ups on the map. The old games had many vehicles of all shapes and sizes like AT-AT's, Roller droids and a range of ships. Only two main ships appear for each class in the flying gamemode, and many vehicles are no longer controllable, like AT-AT's. Half of the old games was being in vehicles- do you just hate dun, EA?

    Also, maps are bland, basically open spaces and battles are clusterf*cks, not coherent at all. No where near as well made as the old games and I don't like the look of them as much. They have better graphics, yes, but they are just bland and variants of grey and brown.

    There is no meaningful single player campaign, just a God-awful survival mode. The old games had a fun single player where you played as a soldier rather than the hero and progressed through maps telling the whole star wars story from the front lines, from the prequels to the originals. Also, Galactic Conquest is gone, and instant action.

    Galactic conquest was very fun but the loss of instant action is awful. It allowed friends to team up or oppose each other, and play against relatively good AI in objective games, not a rubbish survival with crap AI. The game is barebones with, and even without DLC.

    The lack of prequel inspired content and very few things from the original movies, there is a lack of things to do and it doesn't feel that Star Wars-y.

    I didn't expect much, EA, but this was the worst game of 2015 and craps on the brand.

    It is not a game for people who are looking for a single-player experience. If that's what you want, then I think you are going to find the offerings a bit thin. There are quite a few single player/co-op missions, but I don't find them all that engrossing.

    The multiplayer is great, though. The maps for Supremacy and Walker Assault are generally really well designed, though Supremacy still needs a little spawn tweaking on certain maps. Fighter Squadron, Drop Zone, and Droid Run are all a blast as well. Blast (team deathmatch) does not interest me in this, or any other, shooter. Unique playmodes like Heroes v. Villains and Hero Hunt are also available and fun, but not quite as engrossing to me.

    It would be a nice, I suppose, if there were more maps for Walker Assault and Supremacy, though the free Jakku DLC will likely add another to each. But I am really pleased with the maps that are available. They are quite large and it will take me a while to really learn them.

    More importantly, I am really pleased with the gameplay, which is some of the most fun I've had in a first-person shooter ever. For me, this game was worth every penny.    … Expand

    With all the game modes game modes there are so many different ways to play. Single player, co-op, multi player.

    I had a ton of fun playing Hero Battles to hone my skills using the 6 heroes currently available (Darth Vader, Emperor, boba fett, Luke Skywalker, Leia & Solo). After having a blast mowing down troops I moved to the multiplayer Hero Hunt which was incredible fun. In this mode there is a single hero and whoever kills him gets to be the next hero, whoever ends up with the most kills wins. It's a fast and fun game mode and it's very exciting to be a hero taking on a bunch of troops.

    Fighter Squadron is a very well done game mode and is one of my favorites. Flying around in a fur ball of fighters with really great explosions going on all around you really put you right in the game.

    Heroes VS Villains is another amazing game mode I feel doesn't get enough credit. 3 VS 3 heroes/villains with troop support. This is the best game mode for facing off the heroes.

    The Endor race is the absolute best I've seen in any Star Wars game.

    A rant about something I have seen in other reviews---
    My favorite complaint is about the lack of recoil on the weapons..... LOLOLOL. People obviously don't understand physics. The reason a weapon has recoil is because it is projecting mass one direction which causes the launch mechanism to absorb the energy created in the opposite direction.

    LASERS DONT HAVE MASS. Well they due I guess technically but not enough to cause a noticeable recoil effect. Any movement of a laser based weapon would be caused by the internal mechanism that create the laser itself. It could vibrate, be unstable in some ways but there would be no recoil... whats next are people going to complain that flashlights don't have recoil?? anyways rant over. -----

    Recommendation- If you like Star Wars and want a fun game, buy it.
    If you want a game to fill your empty life with endless hours of FPS killing get CoD.    … 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.
