Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection

Though the new aspects are welcome additions, it’s clear from the start that these games were not originally built for some of the new features and that perhaps the game could have benefited from other aspects such as an online multiplayer Galactic Conquest mode. At the end of the day, the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection is a fun trip down memory lane but is likely to fizzle out in popularity, even if all player's concerns are resolved, once the initial nostalgia kick wears off.

Classic Collection is so bad that it is actively driving people back to the original game as it bleeds players, and given that the original is less than a third of the price, I can't blame anyone for that. This is an unfinished, shoddy product that doesn't feel good to play, and that's if you can play it at all.

Messy doesn’t even begin to cover the state that the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection launched in, and even though updates are rolling out to make things more tolerable, the ‘improvements’ are loaded with issues that only make matters worse. This might be the worst port since the Silent Hill HD Collection, so get ready to warn away newcomers until it’s fixed.

Aspyr has done a serviceable, even admirable job with its porting of Star Wars titles up to this point, but the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection represents a monumental misstep and a much-deserved blemish on its reputation. These are two beloved games representing some of the very best experiences the Star Wars IP has ever offered. To release these remasters in this state is deeply concerning. Our only solace is the fact that, eventually, most of the problems should be fixable.
