    Run to find people for 10 seconds. Die in half a second to people who have much better equipment than you.. no balance in who you are matched with. NO way a casual gamer could enjoy this.

    Was very disappointed about this game one solo map no campaign at all I am very angry this had only online only battles and nothing else I was expecting a story mode but no I got a crappy dumb online battles against other players boo the only thing that is awesome is the movie scenes and the look of the vehicles and the world also the sound FX is perfect just like I remember

    Bad, bad, bad. Only 4 maps. Missing content, no Single Player missions ... For more content they are looking for a season pass. EA-bad job. Only the graphics look good.

    Loše, loše, loše. Samo 4 mape. Nedostaje sadržaj, nema Single Player misija... Za više sadržaja traže season pass. EA-loš posao. Jedino grafika izgleda dobro.

    O jogo mais incompleto e raso que já joguei. Não tem campanha ou modo história. É bonito mas até um jogo mobile é mais completo. Perda de tempo e dinheiro total.

    Game is complete trash and a rip off. Not even worth your time. Nobody plays the season pass, which was $50. The weapons are extremely unbalanced and spawn points are terrible.

Not to mention the jetpack which allow players on top of the map with unlimited sniper shots. There is a bug since launch where you wont get a partner even when teams are full. This gives you a huge disadvantage from loss of points and losing a spawn point. The maps are just chokepoint after chokepoint . Hero battles are trash and clumsy. There are not that many modes and people only play walker assault on same 4-6 map rotation. Save your time, even if the game is free do not play it, you will just get mad after seeing this game was released for $60… Expand

    Genuinely one of the worst, most boring and feeble games I've ever played. Thank God I got it on EA Access. No campaign. Simple and boring customisation. UI problems everywhere. Can't understand any of the menus. Bad gameplay. Bad sound. Awful flight mechanics. Boring maps with not enough cover. Terrible character movement. Not actually great graphics. I could go on. But it's boring me.

    I can tell you that the hero mode is awful or that the lack of variety makes this game quickly redundant... There is an egregious token collecting system to get into vehicles and bot, the thing that made the real Battlefront game is gone. It's just easier to say that this game would have been better if they just didn't call it a Battlefront game.

    Never has a game been such an insult to me. With only a fifth of the maps available before DLC, and the most tacked-on, laziest , insult of a single player mode, this game is the definition of why DLC in gaming is a bad thing.

On top of that, Star Wars Battlefront feels like every other FPS game on the market. While the graphics are the best I've seen on a game, that seems to be the only redeeming quality. And it's clear I'm not the only one. The price of the game has been drastically cut. About a month ago, I went to my local GameStop, and there was a copy of Star Wars Battlefront Deluxe Edition for the PS4 selling for $15. There were Wii games more expensive. Do not pick up this game, do not give any money to EA from this game.… Expand

    Bought this two years after launch for $30, still don't feel like it was worth it. The DLC exclusive maps have very little population and DLC exclusive weapons are by far and away completely overpowered compared to base game weapons. Its almost like people who paid more were given every advantage possible.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very pretty, but a failure in the fundamentals of FPS games.

    Firstly, the loading screens. I spent as much time in loading screens as I did in actual gameplay. - Fail

    Next, spawning. In the larger games you either spawn way too far from the action, run for over a minute to get there only to be taken out instantly. Other times you spawn too close to the action or right in an enemy's sight, instantly being killed. And this can happen 5 or 6 time in a row. - Extremely frustrating.

    Balance: The rebels have no ground vehicles. This gives a major advantage to the imperials as they have the AT-ST. Luke Skywalker is way too fast and impossible to hit and Bossk had infrared which allows him to see any enemy from anywhere. OP heroes.

    Radar is pointless. The range is very obscure and enemies right next to you do not show up.

    Terrain....So I'm running, and running, and running, and running some more. Suddenly I'm just running in place. What's that? a small stick on the ground. Oh look! I'm dead.

    No singleplayer mode. This makes the game pointless for anyone with poor internet. and Frustrating for anyone who might want a break from such competitive multiplayer.

    Terrible matchmaking. Often skill levels are either way in your teams favour or way in the other team's.

    I will give credit to the graphics. They are absolutely beautiful. But that's about the only positive thing I can say about this game.    … Expand

    Good stuff: the graphics and sound are spectacular. Stunning. Beautiful.
    The various locations look incredible.
    However if you roll a turd in glitter it's still a turd and that's what this game really is.

    Had I bought this on release and paid the full price (and later the season pass) I'd be really angry for what was in the box.
    This is the latest in a long line of games being used as cash cows by game companies to milk as much money from customers as they can.
    Do not buy this game. Borrow it or rent it.

The interface is clunky, there are very limited options to reconfigure the controls and in general the game play would be more specific to a game made in the late 90s. Really surprised by that. Flying is okay but the "maps" for flying encounters are pretty small so you end up flying out of bounds frequently when pursuing a target and then have to double back. Not a lot of content in the game and it gets repetitive quickly. I have had the game for 4 days and am pretty much finished with it. Major disappointment.… Expand

    The 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.

    Multiplayer 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]
