Nov 16, 2015Battlefront´s impressive fidelity to the Star Wars universe, and one of the best technical aspects we´ve seen in any game, are not enough to make us forget it lacks of solo campaign, and 12 maps are too few. The experience is great, but it's too short.
-
Dec 7, 2015Star Wars Battlefront takes Battlefront to the world of Star Wars and gives players an authentic sci-fi experience!
-
Nov 23, 2015Star Wars Battlefront is easily my favorite multiplayer shooter of the year. I can’t stop playing it. It finds a perfect balance of strategy and diversity, and most importantly, it is extremely fun, something I find lacking in a lot of online shooters.
-
Nov 18, 2015Star Wars Battlefront is fun and very, very spectacular. Its gameplay is not too deep and the content is less than we expected, but we're sure you're going to have some incredible and unbelievable moments playing it.
-
Nov 16, 2015Accessible, well made and full of really, really cool moments, it’s hard not to love it. Add in a perfectly crafted Star Wars dressing and an impressive amount of cinematography and you have my favourite multiplayer shooter in years.
-
Dec 19, 2015Star Wars: Battlefront reveals to be a very immediate and accessible multiplayer game, capable of excite both casual and hardcore gamers thanks also to a great visual fidelity to the Star Wars environments.
-
Nov 23, 2015No other game has made me feel more like an actual participant in a legitimate Star Wars battle. I don’t know if I’ll ever get sick of that feeling I get when I take down a TIE Fighter, and I doubt that chill I get when I hear the main theme play as I run across a crowded battlefield will ever go away.

GameTrailersNov 16, 2015At launch, there's not as much on offer compared to other competitive shooters, but there's also never been a Star Wars game that's looked and felt this real before. Despite the lack of battlegrounds, characters, and a story-driven, campaign structure, Star Wars Battlefront is an epic, cinematic experience. If you've felt the force awakening in you this year, let it in.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jan 4, 2016Multiplayer shooter designed primarily for Star Wars fans. Simpler than its genre competitors it is, but it’s open to players of all kinds - at the same time it is not for everyone because of that “anyone can play” approach. [Issue #259]
-
Dec 8, 2015What it lacks in content Battlefront makes up with simple yet fun gameplay. This is your best Star Wars gaming fix you’ll find anywhere.
-
Nov 30, 2015The game is gorgeous, authentic, highly detailed, and rife with potential to grow into something much bigger.
-
Nov 25, 2015Star Wars Battlefront is the ultimate fan service machine. Awesome looking, faithful to the original source and incredibly fun, this game is the software version of the Nintendo Wii: it will sell a lot, mostly at people who don't care about video games. But the harcore fans of the Old Republic will be disappointed.
-
Nov 23, 2015Free from the stresses and complexities of modern multiplayer shooters, Star Wars Battlefront is an invitation to play in a galaxy far, far away.
-
Nov 19, 2015Fast, immediate, spectacular, solid. Star Wars Battlefront is the "casual" multiplayer shooter everyone expected. And basically this is also its greatest limitation.
-
Nov 19, 2015Star Wars Battlefront is undoubtedly the Star Wars experience that we all wanted, it’s just a shame that there’s a distinct lack of content. That said, playing Battlefront is as close to being in a Star Wars movie as you're ever likely to get.
-
Nov 18, 2015Aside from awkward performances and a poor original score, Battlefront is a master class in aesthetic authenticity. Beyond a few essential modes built for casual competition, however, Battlefront is unfocused, relying on excess game types to compensate for an absent single-player campaign.
-
Nov 18, 2015Star Wars Battlefront is a spectacular multiplayer shooter and a dream come true for many movie fans. The modest amount of content is the game's biggest flaw: maps are beautiful, but two hours is enough to visit them all and the situation is identical with any other aspect of the game.
-
Nov 17, 2015This seems unlikely to be a game that can be played hard for 12 months. But it’s also a far more polished and properly executed tie-in than films are typically given. Battlefront does a particular thing very well - it is not so much shallow as strategically popularist. Skill and tactics play their part, but it’s one subservient to the John Williams-scored rush of finding yourself in these battles, in these surroundings.
-
Nov 17, 2015Star Wars Battlefront is a really great multiplayer shooter, with clean gameplay, a good mix of first and third person, as well as a lot of cool ideas. However, it's the Star Wars part of things that truly makes the game shine, and you probably won't see George Lucas' movies represented quite like this anywhere else for a long time. There could, however, be even more to do here, and the co-op mode is a bit too basic for our taste.
-
Nov 17, 2015Although the game only features four planets, all the maps available are tremendous amounts of fun.
-
Nov 16, 2015Star Wars Battlefront its full of heroic moments and has stunning visuals and legendary OST. It could be too simple in terms of gunplay, but it's great building a frantic Star Wars universe.
-
Nov 16, 2015One of the best-looking video games ever made and although relatively shallow the spectacle and excitement of the Star Wars universe comes across superbly well.
-
Nov 17, 2015Star Wars Battlefront is more about looks and fun than it is about depth and challenge. The real problem, though, is the lack of content. If you are a Star Wars Battlefront, you won't be disappointed. If you are looking for a lengthy, juicy experience, on the other hand, you may want to look someplace else or buy the pricey season pass.
-
Jan 8, 2016The issue is that this game plays it safe and doesn't offer anything new in its core shooting gameplay. It ignores progress made in the genre and that's most upsetting. Casual players will have a blast but it really isn't for the rest of us in my opinion.
-
Nov 17, 2015DICE succeeded in creating a Star Wars experience I always wanted to be a part of, but it didn’t hold my interest as a gamer long. It’s a game I plan to revisit often, but not for extended periods of time. Forthcoming DLC could certainly change this approach, but for the time being, the thrills out of the box are extremely limited.

Dec 9, 2015Battlefront scratches that itch for Star Wars wish fulfillment, but when the twinkle leaves your eye, there's not much left to discover. Try it.
-
Dec 7, 2015Its old-school simplicity doesn't always mesh with its attempts to bring those ideas into 2015, and it lacks some of those back-of-the-box bullet points that most modern AAA shooters wouldn't be caught dead without...That said: This is a game where you crest a frozen ridge on the surface of Hoth and see a thousand lasers turn the sky into a disco and an AT-AT into scrap metal. If a little of the fat has to be trimmed for more people to have that experience, then blaster holes for bullet points seems like a fair trade.
