    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

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

    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.

However I will admit learning the hero (Vader, Luke, etc.) specials are odd, but they are evoking powers that are not common to shooters, similar with the aviation. Once you learn a hero or a ship, it's fine.

    Main reason for this review is to counter the people who are reviewing this game for what it is not. It does not have a story mode. If you want a story mode do not get this game. If you do not like playing online shooter games, do not get this game. It's amazing in my opinion for what it is, but obviously it's going to suck for what it is not. There is a local game mode, but it's minimal. I've had a good time with a buddy on split screen with a couple of the scenarios, but mainly this game is built for online shooter fans.

    If you are a Star Wars fan. This game is fun. They did a good job of catering to the movies and creating the feel of the Star Wars world. There is something pretty awesome about walking out onto the battlefield as Darth Vader and using your light saber to deflect the enemy shots back at the enemies.

I think people should understand 2 things when buying this game, which in my opinion are the two big negatives that people are really upset about:

    1) This is not going to be the same experience you had with the previous battlefront games 10 years ago. Quit simply, this game currently does not play like the previous ones did. There is no classic 'conquest' mode to it-while 'supremacy' is similar, the way its set up causes the game to not flow like the old battlefront did at all. There is no strategy really in terms of attacking-no flanking, nothing like that. In supremacy (which seems to be the mode most people play) at any one time there is at most 2 bases in play-they will be bases that are right next to each other, so there is a constant 'front line' effect (where everybody is fighting in the same spot), which essentially rules out any real tactics that would be involved. I think most people who were very excited for this game to come out were people who previously played this game and wanted it to essentially be like the older games with larger maps, more maps, and better graphics. You won't get that, this will be an overall different FPS experience. The air combat seems to be pretty bad. I prefer to run around and shoot as opposed to flying an x-wing or whatever, however even I noticed that the flying is pretty bad. I would also say that currently the game modes that involve 'heroes' are not so fun. For Battlefront 2, the Mos Eisley hero fight was epic fun. It's not quite the same on this.

    2) EA, in classic style, is trying to get as much money out of this as they can. In doing so, the game that is currently on the market is incomplete. That is the main reason this game is getting bad reviews. In a year this game will be a 9/10. However, the game that is currently on the market only has maps on 4 planets; Hoth, Endor, Tatooine and Sullust (a world thats important in the expanded universe of star wars but never in the movies). There are only currently 6 heroes-Luke, Vader, Leia, Jango Fett, the Emporer and Han Solo. When you consider that the previous game (which came out 10 years ago) had more hero options-thats quite annoying. There seems to be a lack of game modes, but again, the lack of game modes, heroes, and maps will all be resolved when more expansions come out. However, you will end up paying anywhere from $50-$80 for these expansions, which is bad and we as a gaming community should not support these practices.

    While I've ranted a bit about the negatives, it's time for some good things about this game. The graphics are stunning. Probably the best I've seen in a FPS ever. Also, the gameplay is incredibly smooth. I've experienced no lag, no servers crashing, nothing of the sort, even once. I personally find the controls intuitive and once you get the hang of the style of this game, I find myself generally being one of the top 3-4 players each match, having an absolute blast jumping around in my jet pack, using my ion shots to blow up turrets or piss of people who are in vehicles. The game can be great, mindless fun. While I've read some reviews that rip on the upgrades and customization-I think those are actually pretty good. You have a dozen guns to choose from, you can purchase like 100 different outfits your character (depending on level), and they added an option where you can essentially have a special ability (For me I shoot ion bullets) which adds another element to the game completely. The maps that are there are good, which gives me faith that newer ones that come out will be good as well. You can also run around and pick up upgrades, which adds another element. You never know if that grenade that landed next to you is just a thermal detonator or thermal imploder, or whether you are being locked by a homing shot or an infantry turret.

    If you will only be satisfied with this new Battlefront if it plays like the previous ones, I would say do not purchase. It will not be with your time or disappointment that this is a different game. I would also say that if money is an issue for you at all that I would wait a year or so to purchase. All of the expansions will probably be on a single disc that will be only $60 by then. However, if you have an open mind (sounds kinda lame I know), and simply love fun, first person shooters I say this is a decent purchase. You absolutely will enjoy playing this game, the graphics are stunning, the gameplay is incredibly smooth, the soundtrack is great, you will feel like you are in the world of star wars. However, shame on EA (or maybe us) for obviously using the Battlefront franchise to take as much money from people as possible. I think if they waited a little bit and released a complete version of this game, the sheer volume of people purchasing it would have given them more profit than the current state of people purchasing it, and then paying for upgrades.    … Expand

    - Fast paced game play. Instant re-spawns
    - Nice level design
    - As of today servers are populated and reliable.
    - You can easily get in and out of matches and do not have to dedicate time to enjoy the game. What i mean is if i only have 30 min to kill i can play a few matches and have a great time. If i have 4 hours to kill i can still enjoy playing and work towards unlocks.

    The Bad
    - Easy skill level may turn off more serious gamers.
    - Most blasters do not feel unique.
    - Some game modes are very short when i would like them to be a bit longer.
    - No character customization or weapon mods.
    - An AI to shoot at during multiplayer.
    - Becoming a hero requires a random pickup instead of being a reward to a skillful player.

But what is perhaps the best thing about the game is the people that play it. Half of them are as bad as me and that makes it fun. EA have been adding more content over the months since launch and the initial price tag has now been fully justified.

    The lack of weapon customisation and small gains obtained from upgrading star cards I see as overall very positive because it ensures the most hardcore gamers don't get big advantages over those who don't have so much to play. It maintains some level of balance, keeps matches close and engaging. The hero power ups enable even the worst players to get a load of kills and top the table at the end of the match. The training and single player missions are a very good way to practice before jumping into the online matches and I am very glad they are there.

    Overall Star Wars Battlefront is one of the best games I have ever played and receives a well deserved 9/10 from me. This is a game I can see myself playing for a long time to come. I can't wait for the DLC!    … Expand

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

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

    holy lack of content. A single player campaign, a couple more heroes, and maybe having some of that dlc content for free, would have made this game decent. But it's not.

    That said, the graphics are amazing. I find myself wanting to just watch the background sometimes, or investigate the far corners of the map just to see what is there. Beautiful, almost like moving artwork.

    The gameplay can be extremely satisfying, and I’m no FPS pro. I’m a veteran of games like Doom and Halo, but never was good at ‘twitchy’ games like Battlefront or Call of Duty. Perseverance does pay off, with better side arms and accessories, and with gameplay experience that translates to a better understanding of why and how to attack a mission. That perspective gives a better gameplay experience than just running to the front, shooting, and dying, over and over. I’m a stats guy, and though mine are not good – I still take pride in improvement, and the fun moment of a plan being executed.
    Some missions will be more fun depending on the gameplay experience you want to have. Too much run and gun? Try Extraction or Cargo Run, where stealth can pay dividends. Playing as the heroes is always fun, though difficult at times. And the Starfighter battles are good. Not great – like the old X-Wing and TIE Fighter games on PC. They tend to be a big fur ball, like an old cartoon, but it’s still fun to drop in on every once in a while.
    If you like Star Wars, and like FPS at all, you will love playing Battlefront. Until you get hosed 1kill-9deaths in a mission. Then you will decide how much you like it – and do you want to improve. There is no wrong answer there, and I do look forward to a full single player in the next SW Battlefront.    … Expand

    Multiplayer - Overall it is not bad. They have continued to improve some of the earlier abused elements (Homing Shot) however the lack of more maps for bigger games is a turn off.

    Campaign - The fact that one doesn't exist automatically gives this game a 5. You have the best source material in the world and you couldn't come up with a story about a regular old Rebel Solder... very lackluster.

Sadly, even with the little bonus to offset the cost, I feel like this game is not worth the asking price.

    Lets start off with the good stuff. It's beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. The character designs, sound effects, and level design all scream Star Wars. It will be an absolute delight for fans of the franchise to jump into and feel like they're part of the Galactic Civil War. Being able to play as a hero is even better, as you can turn the tide of the battle with the overwhelming power of fan favorites like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader - though personally, I find Boba Fett and Princess Leia to be even more overpowered.

    But that's as high as the game floats above water. The abundant lack of features, no single-player, and ESPECIALLY the additional content hidden behind DLC paywalls are holes that flood this otherwise elaborate looking ship. The positives of the game are barely keeping it afloat, and playthroughs tend to be short and get boring fast.

    It's not crap, but it's certainly far from great. For Star Wars fans, this is a relatively easy buy. For gamers, it's easily just as dismissible. Such a shame so much hype and graphical production got put into such a mediocre game.    … Expand

The lack of a legitimate campaign mode is a big one as Star Wars: Battlefront II was on the verge of something with the story on the 501st. The beloved Galactic Conquest modes fails to make an appearance which is a big head scratcher. Finally, with no space battles or prequel era battles, this game leaves much to be desired and feels more like Battlefield than Star Wars Battlefront.

Likely you didn't even play the game and if you did buy it on release day hoping for single player and are now upset you probably mindlessly buy every game that comes out. Clearly just attacking the game ... anyway, very good graphics, awesome sounds, a decent amount of content ( I still need to play Supremacy in MP and have not touched the co-op/single player missions yet other than the beta). Bottom line this is a fun casual shooter with good variety. A Star Wars fan's heaven. It is not a technical strategic shooter like Killzone especially with the lack of non party communication and call outs would be difficult at best on these maps. It is more strategic than any COD game though. You can't just run around stabbing people and killing everyone with one or 2 shots. My biggest complaint would probably be the lack of mic communication with the whole team. I do like the partner system like the fireteams in Medal of Honor: Warfighter. Also people saying this is Battlefield with a Star Wars skin are out to lunch as well. It may get boring if you play it relentlessly hours a day for 6 months but what game wouldn't. I am still playing Killzone 2 years later and it had 17 maps in the end. This will end up with 25 if you get all the season pass stuff. Not happy about the $80 price for that in Canada but I will probably shell out for it because I think the fun to be had will justify that. Watch some streams and ask people you know who have actually played it but do not listen to MORONS rating this a zero. It would be like giving Wolfenstein: The New Order a zero because it lacked multiplayer. Solid 8/10… Expand

    No space battles? Generic maps and OP heroes to slash your throat. You need DLC for additive experience, what the f*ck, EA? No story mode, bs matchmaking, bad controls.
    Pro tip: Since it looks good, you can just use it a screensaver.

    Exceptionally easy to pick up and play. If you are not a big FPS fan but you are a fan of Star Wars you will have a great deal of fun with this game. On the other hand if you're a FPS vet this game might not have it all for you. This game is just stunningly beautiful. You will feel like you are really in this universe, the sound is also done very well.

    It’s been just more than 10 years since the last Star Wars Battlefront title released for the Playstation 2 and Xbox, and fans have been waiting ages to jump back into the shoes of Rebel or Imperial scum.

    Electronic Arts and DICE have answered the call, and the end result is absolutely stunning. 2015’s Battlefront focuses on the original trilogy of films, pulling characters, weapons and    It’s been just more than 10 years since the last Star Wars Battlefront title released for the Playstation 2 and Xbox, and fans have been waiting ages to jump back into the shoes of Rebel or Imperial scum.

    Electronic Arts and DICE have answered the call, and the end result is absolutely stunning. 2015’s Battlefront focuses on the original trilogy of films, pulling characters, weapons and vistas from Episodes IV, V and VI. And that’s the first thing players will notice, that this game is very much set in the Star Wars universe.

    The game modes are unique and each offer a specific challenge, but there isn’t much variety. Aside from objective-based modes like “Droid Run,” where players escort a Gonk Droid from one place to another, or “Walker Assault,” where the goal is to defend an AT-AT or take it down, most of everything else is kill or be killed.

    There’s Blast, the Battlefront take on traditional team death-match: Supremacy, an all-out war mode that tasks players with pushing the other team off the planet, and Fighter Squadron, which is essentially death-match in the air, exclusively.

    Also present are Hero-centric gametypes like “Heroes vs. Villains,” which is a six-on-six round-based mode where players assume the role of iconic Star Wars characters.

    And heroes is where the game shines best. Play as Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader or Boba Fett. If that sounds like a small number of choices, that’s because it is. 2005’s Battlefront II had 23 heroes and villains. Here is where the new game finds its faults.

    There’s an overall lack of content here. The number of weapons and gear is in the tens and customization options are tied to face changes. But hey, EA has a $50 season pass ready for you to buy.

    Downloadable content isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but when it looks like three-fourths of a game’s content has been removed to sell back later, there’s a problem. This season pass will contain four additional hero characters, 16 multiplayer maps and countless gear and guns.

    But it’s OK. Battlefront is a beautiful title with tight, natural gameplay and it’s a whole lot of fun. Nothing beats Force-choking as Vader, or leaping through the treehouses of Endor as Luke Skywalker with 20 Rebel soldiers charging into battle with you.

    Flying an X-wing is exhilarating and taking down a Walker with a tow cable is 10 tons of awesome. But for the future, EA should look to Battlefront as a platform, not a sequel machine. Take cues from Activision’s Destiny, a fully formed title that has released expansions over the past year.

    Let’s face it, Star Wars fans. Battlefront is the Star Wars game we want, but it doesn’t have all of the content it needs right now.

    This game is a major disappointment.

    Pros: The visuals are absolutely stunning. You literally feel like you're in the Star Wars universe and is easily one of the best looking games ever made as far this generation goes. The sounds are also spot-on, aside from the voice acting. Like stated, you feel like you are a playing on the Star Wars universe and it just is so beautiful to see    This game is a major disappointment.

The sounds are also spot-on, aside from the voice acting. Like stated, you feel like you are a playing on the Star Wars universe and it just is so beautiful to see and to hear.

    The heroes are plenty fun to play as. Luke, Vader, Han, Boba, Lea & The Emperor all play differently and you can succeed with any of them during the field of battle.

    Cons:

    Basically everything else. The game feels so unfinished, especially in comparison to the other Battlefronts. Where is the single-player campaign? Where is Galactic Conquest? Where is Space Battles in a freaking Star Wars game? Where are the prequel units? Why is Star Wars Episode VII not getting represented at all?

    Where the hell is the rest of the game?

    You have so few modes that you will quickly grow bored and just play online, which doesn't help much, if at all, due to extreme balance issues between sides (Rebels dominate Air Combat, Empire dominate Ground Combat) and the horrendous spawning system. The air flight controls are awkward to use and the overall flight feeling just doesn't feel natural and the vehicles are far less important here, which is a shame because they used to be such fun in the other Battlefront games.

    Most of the other modes are barely worth mentioning due to their balance issues (Walker Assault) or just dumb design choices (Hero Hunt) and them having only 4 maps is not helping their case either.

    And the less i say about EA's $50 Dollar DLC Season Pass, the better.

    Every novelty about the game will soon wear off due to it's incredible lack of replay ability due to the loss of a campaign mode and worthwhile offline modes and the online mode won't suffice either due to the severe lack of maps and the horrible balancing issues.

    This one of the most disappointing games released in this generation of consoles and probably of all time. Thanks a lot, Electronic Arts. You have just ruined yet another treasured franchise.    … Expand

The fighter squadron quickly became my only reason to play Star Wars Battlefront, but the luster wore off after a few months when it was clear the game made was imbalanced toward the rebels. Over a year later, the game mode is still imbalanced. The ground game was an immediate dud. Coming into the game a month late, I was far behind other players in weapon and ability unlocks, and those unlocks are meaningful. It's not fun being cannon fodder, and I gave up on the whole thing. The population numbers tell me that I'm not the only one. My son and I had some co-op fun running off-line missions, and it's clear that this game badly needed an off-line campaign. It's no surprise to see this title selling for less $10 new. It is perhaps the worst game purchase I have ever made.

    The multi-player itself is standard Battlefield: shoot, die, repeat. There are some goals to reach but without any coordination the results seem random. The standout modes are dogfights and walker assault. The vehicle combat is well done, and my only complaint is the lack of a rebel land vehicle. The Snow Speeder is nice enough, but moves too fast to take down ground troops. The dogfights are marred only by the way too powerful Millenium Falcon and Slave 1. Their health bars are ridiculous.

    The negative reaction to this game is understandable. The player stats also show a middling player population. By the end of 2016, I expect the game will have to drop most of the playlists to keep the populations viable. I don't see how DLC playlists will ever have viable populations. My recommendation is to avoid the DLC altogether until EA figures out how to make this game more popular.

    The leveling system is as frustrating for new players as any. This bar to entry is another knock against the anemic player population. Hopefully developers will realize the value of playlists with equal starts. At least the dog fighting game has old and new players at an equal level.

    Though there is no campaign, the game does support split screen. Couch co-op is great fun and I believe this is the only game this generation with couch co-op. nonsensically, there is no proper party system for bringing friends into a match. The best you can do is have one friend guaranteed to be on you side while your other friends may randomly end up on the enemy's side. This should be the developer's no.1 focus right now and the most immediate cure to the population problems.    … Expand

    The gameplay is fast and high paced the player is encourage to use hip fire if your are playing first person(i mostly play 3rd person however i also play 1st person every now and then) making gameplay quite high paced. This is where it gets bad. There is obviously a lack of content the big one being no conquest game mode meaning that you are stuck with mostly small scale warfare the biggest being Walker Assault. And although it is a larger scale battle it still doesn't make up for the lack of an enormous Conquest battle which could have been amazing with the potential of modern tech.

    I have noticed that many people are quite upset about the fact that there is not campaign tbh i am not that upset about the lack of a campaign being as the originals didn't really even have one to begin with it was really just matches against a computer and if you consider that a intriguing campaign then you should consider raising your standards. However that doesn't mean i wouldn't like the option to have a match against an ai so i am going to fault them on that, because the single player although fun to play with friends isn't really that intriguing after you play each one through a couple of times.(btw this game does have split screen so props to you dice)

    A few misc complaints vehicle spawns at times can be very frustrating especially when i spawn directly in front of an enemy x wing. Also there is one very frustrating weapon called homing shot which enrages me to no end essentially it is a stinger missile for people. It is absolutely ridiculous to get killed over and over again by this weapon that requires absolutely no skill to use what's even worse is that even at full health it's an instant kill weapon.

    Overall fun shooter mechanics and gorgeous visuals and sound quality however lack of conquest and lack of weapons make for and inferior game. I had a lot of hope for this game and in the end it left me kind of disappointed.    … Expand

    I keep playing this trying as hard as I can to like it.... Simply because it looks amazing and nailed the Star Wars look, So all 5 points are for how it looks, below average shooting, and the hero mechanics get 0, as does the variety of maps....

    If EA try to sell more maps before releasing more for free you should feel truly ripped off.

    A painfully mediocre game with a shiny coat of paint. Barely any content at launch with a $50 season pass, repetitive and bland gameplay, no single player modes, and unbalanced multiplayer to top it all off.

    Overall, I'm quite disappointed with this. They should have given this game a different name so that we weren't conned into thinking this is a Battlefront game.

Not much in this game is all that I really have to say. Gameplay is fun but really basic which I understand, because they are just trying to make the game fun for everyone, but it just makes it way easier for skilled players to completely dominate on the battlefield. The Heroes and Viliains are not very fun to play as, other than Boba Fett. Lots of modes, but it really just boils down to shooting people, other than the Fighter Squadron and Heroes vs Villains modes. The way vehicles are handled in this game is not good. You can only get vehicles if you find power-ups on the battlefield. There is a much better way to do this, but EA was afraid of ripping stuff from other series like Battlefield. If they would have taken the essentials from other games and just added in Star Wars things, the game would be a lot better. Graphics are great as usual from DICE. Sound and atmosphere are spot on. Even though I have many problems with this game, I still enjoyed playing it. The lack of content disappoints me, and I'm sure as hell not buying the Season Pass, but I'm looking forward to the sequel so that DICE and EA can fix some of these problems, and add in a Campaign, and Clone Wars stuff(and Sequel trilogy content). I'm just happy that this came with my PS4 and I didn't have to pay an extra $60 for 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.
