    Lack of content, this game was built just for online mode!!, we have nor enought gun's, and they sell part of the original content of the game on a season pass!, unbelievable i wasted my money on a game I've waited for so many years, never by a game done by EA anymore

    The only thing good about this game are the graphics... and that's all... all features in battlefront II are not in this game, it doesn't worth that price.

    looks amazing but that's where the impressive parts of this game ends, other then that your better off playing any call of duty of battlefield game and have the same exp if not better, when you step back to take a look at it all its nothing more then a dumb down version of cod or battlefield with a star wars skin

    So there is no story, they are little campaign missions but they are like 10 minutes each and they aren't really interesting. So you are left with the gameplay, which was also disappointing...
    The maps were too big so it's hard to find your friends, the weapons feel the same and when you have a character like Luke or Darth Vader, the gameplay becomes slow and sluggish.
    And the online is boring too, this fanbase is annoying and since the gameplay sucks, the online isn't enjoyable to me..

    It's sad that there isn't much to talk about because there isn't a lot to this game, the little amont of content is laughable, the gameplay is like call of duty so if you enjoy call of duty, maybe you will enjoy this. For me, this game looks incredible and sounds just like star wars but the game itself isn't good.    … Expand

    I have now been playing around 9 hours after I forced myself to get into it, and am now at level 13. I can safely say SW:BF gets better once you have a few item unlocks, when you know the maps, and when you can distinguish the good from the bad modes - walker assault for instance is pretty amazing once you know what you have to do. It is still basic shallow pew-pew shooting but it pulls you in, especially the endor map. Hero hunt on the other hand is a load of BS, avoid this... Mediocre/potentially fun modes are cargo (CTF equivalent) and fighter squadron... the latter can be fun to jump into every now and again, but it is frustrating how barren the gameplay is at times.

    Overall this game has grown on me over the past few days, and anyone who is a serious star wars fan should give it a go. It is, however, nothing more than a shallow 3rd person/fps game that could have been so much more... if only DICE had added classes and a single player campaign...

    Buy only when on offer.    … Expand

Secondary cards are useless with one opportunity. Online is a bigger fail. Lag is an issue,most of my kills get ruined and gives my opponents a upper- hand. In honesty,If you want to play this online I would recommend playing with a party to enjoy the action. Miss the 2005 Lucasarts SWB II gameplay.

    Sure the fan service is HERE, but what you are given are 4-5 stages, some cool story characters to play as and thats it. For the exception of the normal leveling, battlepack and stat system similar to DICE multiplayer games, there isn't much else in the base game. Also, forget the single player, there isn't much there except a tutorial to the MP.

    DICE and a lot of other companies NEED to see the writing on the wall. YOUR COMMUNITIES ARE NOT BUYING THE DLC!!! Simply look at the map browser, tell me how many games are being played on a DLC map. Yeah. (Sorry about the rant)

    Considering you can get this relatively cheap now, you won't feel as cheated as I was.

    For 20 bucks, ITS WORTH IT! But be ready to shell out cash for the DLC if you see a lacking product.    … Expand

    Lazy and incomplete. Typical EA cash grab. It looks gorgeous and sounds amazing, but at the end of the day, they knew that with all that fanservice a butt load of Star Wars fans (myself included) would jump right on board. Don't. It's a typical EA "pay $100+ for a season pass and game" to even get something that resembles a solid amount of content.

Even though this game was very different from the originals I gave it a shot and at first I loved it. This love for this game lasted about 2 months before I got bored of playing the same exact thing almost everyday. Battlefront had no longevity at all due to its poor amount of content at release. With expansions however this game becomes much more playable and enjoyable. The season pass is now only 30$ which gives the player a lot of new content, meaning that the online of the game is improved significantly. The local multiplayer on the other hand is almost non-existent sadly and so is a story/campaign mode. Battlefront is game that one should dedicate much time to as the enjoyment of the game is taken away as one quickly loses interest in the multiplayer.… Expand

Online never has appealed to me, so the only gaming experiences I am interested in are single-player driven. I honestly wouldn't mind the fact that this game has no story mode had it not taken the classic Battlefront franchise, both of which had excellent single-player campaigns that were intriguing and fun to play through. The fact that EA and DICE thought that a campaign mode was unnecessary really shows far removed this game is from the original two games. The game is unpolished, with a number of animation glitches happening within the first few hours of the game. The heroes, while fun to play as, feel stupidly overpowered while playing with bots, and as a result the biggest thing Star Wars: Battlefront had going for it added thirty minutes of playtime, only ten of which were refreshing. I can guess that the heroes are more fun to play as in the online mode, but I've read that people will just hang back and steal the hero tokens so nobody except a few people will every play as heroes. The other single-player modes are fine, but there is so little substance here that they all feel stale, boring, and repetitive. There's nothing of interest on these linear, barren maps, so no match feels distinct, not to mention the fact that everything in this game is so limited in terms of substance. There are no open-ended systems to use to your advantage, and no clever physics. This game is so limited, and I think that is the root of all the problems here. Yes the aesthetics have been nailed, and everything looks and sounds authentic to the Star Wars universe, but nothing about the gameplay actually reinforces the visuals, and as a result Star Wars: Battlefront lacks any sort of depth or interest. There is so little that appeals to me in Star Wars: Battlefront, that I could not excuse myself for giving this game anything more than a 2 out of 10.… Expand

From a lack of everything from single player, to maps, to just overall content, to a rather arcade-y style of combat, this Battlefront was a massive letdown from the originals in the early 2000s.

    The gameplay consisted of your standard shoot the other guy/capture points/blow up things then move on game styles you see in nearly every multiplayer game, with the only major addiction being walker assault that is in all honesty just a reversed version of rush from Battlefield.

    There isn't any single player campaign, and what single player content there is consists of tutorials and boring survival horde mode style games, and point collection. Later a skirmish mode was added, but the lack of something like "Galactic Conquest" is inexcusable.

    The other thing is that the game was just unfinished. It was obviously rushed, and content was also taken out, only to be added as dlc for an extra, at the very least, $50 dollars because of the season pass system that the game has. This lack of maps and variety makes the multiplayer, the thing the entire game is designed around, incredibly boring after only a short time playing it.

    The only praise I can give the game is that it is Beautiful. The Graphics look nearly photo realistic and it feels like you are in the famous locations of star wars. The Sound design is also amazing. But these are minor things in a game.

    Overall, this game is bad. It lacks content, gets boring quickly, and has nothing that will make you comeback to it after a long period of time.

Sure the visuals are fantastic and the sound design is perfect and hearing John Williams score over blaster fire and explosions never gets old. The shading, lighting, coloring, and literally everything else graphically is perfection. However as i have stated the game is lacking. Game play wise is okay. The shooting is pretty solid and controlling can feel stiff sometimes but overall is fine. The maps are huge and controlling vehicles is a lot of fun. The air combat is pretty standard but again is fine. Weapons all feel pretty similar and so do the star cards. Hero's are so much fun but the fact you have to pick up a token to play as one is stupid and creates camping in those spawning areas. Progression and unlocks happen far too slow. But the worst part of this game is the lack of content. Almost no single player content except for tutorial missions which is so sad. The missions are all pretty basic so if you want to play offline alone there isn't much for you. There are literally 4 launch maps for the standard edition which is outrageous. There is only a handful of good multiplayer modes as well. The amount of content for the base game is so disappointing and after a while you feel like you experienced everything that can happen and it makes the game feel shallow. A disappointing experience done as beautiful as possible.… Expand

    Story: Story? You expect a story for 60 euros? You idiot.
    Gameplay: You press your trigger button. Your weapon fires. The other player dies. It makes sounds. It looks fun. And that's the gameplay in a nutshell. Oh yes, you got special moves now and then that work halve of the time, and otherwise give you an epileptic attack by watching it.
    Multiplayer: Well... that's what it is.... and it's okay halve of the time. Other times it's boring and frustrating.
    Co-op: This is actually the better part of the game, offering races on shooting motorbikes, letting you fight waves of stormtroopers, big ass robots and aircrafts. I enjoyed playing this with my friends.

    If this game had been 30 euros, i would have understand the lack of content. But for 60 euros, and a 50 euro season pass? **** you EA, this is just a scam.

    Overall it's an underwhelming game. I give it a 5/10.    … Expand

    Gioco piacevole per chi è soprattutto amante della saga , buona la grafica , personaggi e ambientazioni fatti molto bene però penalizzato dalla mancanza di una modalità campagna . Gioco che però è stato lanciato come capolavoro che però non è stato gradito da tutti ( vedendo dalla media da quasi nessuno )

    Star wars battlefront’s multiplayer is sure to please most Star Wars fans, but the lack of a campaign and ocassional repetitiveness of the multiplayer holds this game back from unlocking its true potential.

    Call of Battlefield: Star Wars Edition. This game is nothing like the original series, it took Battlefield, and replaced all the guns with blasters instead. Very mediocre considering it's supposed to be Battlefront. Still worth the purchase if you can find it on sale like I did.

    No microtransactions :-). But nothing like the 2005 battlefront everyone loved. No content. No campaign. Vehicles require a boring uncreative token system. Great graphics and environment textures. Best gun play in the series. Very disapointing. Go play the 2005 or 2017 battlefront.

    Star Wars Battlefront is one of the most beautiful games and one of the most disappointing games. The game looks amazing good visuals and audio, but the game is sooooo empty after 5 hours you probably experienced all that the game offers. The single player can be completed in less than hour of gameplay, the multiplayer while fun still has only 9 game modes and some of them are boring.

But still for 60$ game it’s not worth it at all, not to mention the terrible progression system, and if you wanna have more maps gotta buy the season **** You EA.

The weapon variety is good and the map design accommodates the flow of the match. The starfighter combat may not please some hardcore fans but it accessible and easy to learn and I can not say enough how satisfying is it to kill someone in a dogfight.

    This game was one of the first games that I logged 500+ hours in. IMO, this game is the definitive Star Wars game, even though I can see all the arguments against it. You can tell at launch it was very rushed, as there were only about 8 game modes (of which only 3 were good), about 4 unique maps and no single player story.

After all of the updates and making the DLC free, this game works. If feels like Star Wars in ways that no game has felt before. I haven't even gotten into the graphics. This is, by far, one of the best looking games ever. It's now 5 years later and there is no game now that matches this games colours and models and just overall completeness in the looks. The heroes and villains and the starships are the most unique parts of these games, and they do not disappoint (except the fact that you have to run around the map looking for a pickup). If you get the chance to experience this game and it's DLC, the Bespin and Death Star maps are my favourite level designs, maybe ever. I might be biased cause I love Star Wars, but this game is just that good after 5 years.… Expand

    On the firsthand, the UI is so hard to navigate through to find what you want. Once you jump through those hoops, the arcade mode is really fun. Me and my friends had fun with it. As to let you know, I'm not a hardcore Battlefront person because I mostly play for multiplayer. So if my review doesn't go with all the bad ones, it's because I don't do campaign and co-op.

    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.
