    Why 5 dlc's?
    Why that high price?
    Why the season pass costs almost the same than the game? Why a game from 2005 has more content than this? Why we dont have instant action? Why we dont have space to ground? Why we dont have Galactic Conquest? Why we dont have the roll movement? Why we have only 6 heros with the non dlc game? Why those power ups? Why is this called Battlefront?    Why 5 dlc's?

If you do buy this... then you're only gonna spend a few hours with it until eventually getting bored. It doesn't have those Battlefield tactics that make Battlefield my favorite online shooter.

    So, it looks great and plays well. And if you're a Star Wars fan then you're definitely going to feel A LOT of nostalgia. Go buy it if Star Wars means more to you than your wife and kids or if you've got some money to blow. But if you're a pragmatic spender like me then wait for a discount or until they add more content. Hopefully they have a GOTY edition or something after a while.    … Expand

    Great Casual shooter for Star Wars fans,Graphics are amazing ,sound is spot on.But sadly the DLC policy is ruining a potentially great game.There just isn't enough content to justify the 60$ price tag...No SP Campaign or Story Mode,Walker Assault 4 maps and Supremacy only 4 maps (2 biggest MP modes in the game ).110$ For the "full" game is just too much ...

    The only good thing about this game is that it is star wars.

    The load out customisation is by far the most limited I have encountered in the pantheon of modern multiplayer shooters, guns are largely the same either short or long range and playing you don't feel like anyone is playing or doing anything unique, no room for creativity in this regards.

    The gameplay is fun in some ways but leans heavily towards camping en mass and the vehicle control is standard.

    It feels like there is a lot invested in making it look and feel likes star wars but no real investment in making an intricate, skill based modern day shooter. Playing as Fett or Vader may be cool although strangely enough Leia is the most OP of the heroes but it is short lived and cant be frustrating trying close combat as a jedi in a mass arena camping style shooter.

    I don't recommend this game.    … Expand

    Looks stunning, has some fun elements, but for a multiplayer-focused game, there's not a lot to love. Gameplay is simple, repetitive, and not much room for strategy, tactics, or interesting customization. Compared to past DICE games, as well as past Battlefronts (I know it's been a while), this is a huge letdown.

    It looks great, sounds great and is definitely very "star wars", but that's where the positives end. Its hugely over simplified - from the lack of weapons, to the lack of customisation, to the complete lack of physics, to the dull maps. You run around, point your blaster at someone and hold fire for 2-3 seconds and then move on. More often than not this means running into someone else doing the exact same to you and then dieing, ready to repeat the whole exercise again.

    What could have saved it is the powerups/X-Wings/vehicles - but the random nature of their spawns (the flying vehicles in particular) makes trying to get one a very frustrating affair - an order of magnitude more frustrating than trying to get a plane in Battlefield for example - so that should tell you something!

    They could have done so much more. Adding more than 11 blaster variants, weapon modifications, gadgets (scanners anyone?), some sort of meaningful progression, an ammo mechanic (power packs would do and still be cannon), some sort of physics engine, maps that are not quite so open, 64 player mode, a commander mode...the list goes on.

    I should really have learnt from the beta and not pre ordered this game - but I like many others had the expectation that the beta was just that - a beta - and that there was still time for Dice to finish the game. Alas that didn't happen, and we end up with what feels like exactly the same stripped down build that we had in beta.

    This game is the disappointment of 2015 - and thats before I even mention the fact that there is a tonne of content behind a DLC paywall (one which is heavily advertised in game!). It's hard to believe this was made by the same people that brought us the Battlefield series.

    I strongly advise you to rent this one rather then buying it initially, or wait for it to plummet in price as it no doubt will before long. There are so many brilliant games on the Xbox One right now that you really don't need to waste your money just yet.    … Expand

    Stars Wars Battlefront can be summarized very easily. They absolutely nail the look, sound (mostly) and feel of Star Wars.

    Star Wars Battlefront really is a masterpiece of graphical art and which certainly delivers an authentic Star Wars experience. Playing as Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader is certainly great fun,.. for about 2 games. After which, the "hero" gimmick runs stale. It is a great hype that does work well but offers nothing special in terms of replay value. Once you kill 3 or 4 generic players / AI then the opposing hero, you've experience all there is to offer by this system. It appears that it's Boba Fett and Han Solo that get the hero limlight due to long range combat and effectively, drawing out players "camping" instincts.

    The highlight of this game for me is the Fighter Squadron game type. Taking to the skies in an A-wing fighter or a Tai-fighter is the most appealing part and every experience is different. To be honest, the only reason I like this is because it reminds me of past game just as Star Fox. Same combat system really.

    Other game types are simply a very poor play on other game type from shooters of the past decade. Droid Run is simply a domination style game mode where the rules are not exactly clear other than "3 droids, capture them". Cargo is an extremely poor play on the classic capture the flag and Drop Zone is an even worse play on king of the hill.

    Story mode simply does not exist and single player / co-op might as well not exist. The missions, which are usually highlighted as single player story, is a team deathmatch / kill confirmed game type against the AI, or against a friend if you can stay awake long enough. AI battles range in difficulty and realistically, you can have no affect to the enemy score so the hardest difficulty isn't worth the effort unless you aim for achievements. They offer no fun or gameplay value at all. The only really single players are the tutorial modes which give set tasks to learn about the games mechanics. But a total of 5 solo (or co-op) missions at 3 - 6 minutes is not enough.

    Story wise, the game is based off of 3 movies and the fact they couldn't make a story (or even more objective based missions) is just lazy development. Missions like an all out space war where the objective is to take down the Death Star, rescuing Princess Leia from inside the Death Star or an assault on star destroyers would have added quite a lot of value to this game.
    Admittedly, they have done some things well such as the AT-AT assault on the rebel hideout on Hoth which accurately portrays the scene from Episode 5. But this is multiplayer only which kills it for me. Sticking on this area, why is there an AT-AT assault on Endor, Sullust and Tatooine? Endor only had AT-ST assault, Tatooine only had a stormtrooper invasion and Sullust wasn't even in the original trilogy other than a few verbal mentions. Again, lazy devlopment.

    Survival isn't really worth a mention. A basic horde type gamemode that only supports 2 player co-op. Nothing Special.

    Overall, this could've been an amazing game. an already solid fan base of all media but has been turned into a lazy "get rich quick" scheme by EA. It seems they have taken the "Titanfall" approach with this game. No single player story that people will get bored of after a week. The DLC packs must offer something special or this game will be dead very soon.    … Expand

    The shooting in this game has an arcady style to it and that isn't a bad thing. The game has a real Star Wars feel that fans of the franchise will love. With hero that you can play as if you pick up there tokens. However I think there should be more than 6 hero's, they should of had some prequel maps with have the likes of Padmé, Anakin, Obi Won, Darth Maul, Count Dooku and General Grievous. On the topic of adding in why the hell is there only 4 maps? The reason they have done this is to expand it in as DLC. I hate that and it is early EA's decision not DICEs. That is outrageous because in countries like Australia we have to pay $100 for a new game which I would not recommend buying this game to it at least drops price to around $50-60. It had so much potential but EA tried to milk the brand of it's name.    … Expand

That being said, its freaking star wars! I've logged ~12 hours on the game and i still get giddy fighting on a battlefield with AT-ATs rampantly firing everywhere as TIE Fighters and X-Wings dog fight in the sky. While most of the game types are pretty standard for typical shooters, being able to play them while in the Star Wars universe is still awesome. The maps are gorgeous, and while some of the larger game types like Walker Assault and Supremacy are limited to only 4 maps at the moment, the Jakku DLC will add more content in the coming weeks, as well as future free and paid DLC. While it kinda sucks that right now, Battlefront IS a little light, i think that over time, it will become one of the most content heavy games out there.… Expand

    I played the beta and enjoyed a few hours of it. Unfortunately, the full game was very sparse feeling. With only 11 guns and 4 maps for the large 20v20 games, it's pretty disappointing. The combat is just so-so, but the real issue lies in the lack of content. There just isn't enough, at least for me.

They obviously know how to develop a good shoter, although you have to admit that they really screwed the launch and of BF4. Forgive and forget, I guess.

    Now, imagine a Star Wars that is made by DICE and runs on the visually stunning Frostbite 3 Engine. Should be a safe bet for an awesome game right? No!

    I don't even know where to start.

    Let's start with the good thing(s). From a technical standpoint this game is stunning. This game does look INCREDIBLE, it sounds gorgeous, it's authentic, it runs absolutely smooth, it has a good netcode and it imagines Star Wars like never before. DICE really know how to use their engine. They absolutely nailed it this time.

    And to be honest, this is the best part of the game. Graphics, sound and authenticity.

    Now the the (long) list of bad and/or disappointing things:

    Let's start with a list:

    Why is there no SERVER BROWSER? It's ******* 2015!!!
    Why are there no 64 Players?
    Why is there a useless first-person-view?
    Why is there no Clone Wars Era?
    Why is there such a lack of single-player content?
    Why are there no squads and classes?
    Why are there no space battles?
    Why are there only 4 planets?
    Why is there only 1 map for each game mode?
    Why are there only 6 heroes?
    Why are there only 11 guns?
    Who came up with the idea of star cards?

    Why does this game LACK this much CONTENT? I really do not get it.
    Why does the season pass offer more content than the LAUNCH GAME?
    Why does this game cost 60€? It's not worth it in any way.

    _______________________________________

    To explan everything:

    I really don't understand why this game lacks content. I seriously don't mind that there is no single-player at all. The campaigns of BF3 and BF4 lacked depth (which the MP of SWBF also does, unfortunately) and they also seemed to be poorly made. DICE really does not know how to deliver a good offline experience. But im fine by this, because of the rock solid and content packed multi-player.

    Survival in SWBF is a poorly made mode though, that mostly will entertain you for an hour max. That's not cool.

    I also don't mind that there is no clone wars era although the predecessor obviously has it. The original trilogy offers enough content in my opinion. The problem is that I don't see any of this. Where are the other planets like Bespin, Dagobah, Aldeeran, a Death Star map. You even have planets that were not in the film that are still canon like Corellia, Kothlis, Kessel and others that also differ from the existing planets.

    Where are unique characters/heroes like Bossk, IG-88, the Imperial Guards of the Emperor, CHEWBACCA(!!!), Calrissian, Admiral Ackbar, General Veers?! The list goes on.

    Why are there only 11 guns? I know the movies did not have more, but would it be a problem to imagine new guns? SWBF2 did it as well.

    Where are unique Ships like the B-Wing, the Vader's TIE-X1 Advanced and of course the missing space battles? I have a feeling that this will be added in the upcoming DLC's although they could have added it into the base game. Now they will charge you another 50€ for content that actually should be in this game from the beginning.

    _______________________________________
    Gameplay: To be honest, the gameplay is fun - for a limited time mainly because it lacks depth, content and replay value. You have 11 guns that either play the same or just suck, you only have 1 map for the big and IMO good game modes which are Walker Assaut and Supremacy. Power Ups are a good way to let everyone play as a hero for example, but it really disturbs the immersion, authenticity and tactical possibilties. It just adds some kind of random factor to the game. Same goes for star cards, the absence of squads and kits, no fixed spawn locations, no enterable vehicles and so on. Basically everything that makes Battlefield cool. You can't really focus on a preferred style of individual gameplay. You need to be lucky to get the right power up at the right time. The other modes are cool in the beginning, but get shallow soon imo as they are nothing more than some kind of TDM variation. Fighter Squadron is also a dissapointment mostly because of the flight controls that are too easy and weird. _______________________________________ To conclude: To be honest, I really hoped that this game would turn out like a Battlefield with Stars Wars skins. Sadly it is neither like Battlefield nor like the original SWBF games that were basically like Battlefield games. Never change a running system, I guess. It turned out to be a generic full-price arcade shooter (that some people are okay with of course) with star wars skins that lacks content that you have to buy for another 50€ season pass. Wasted potential...    … Expand

At first, I was dazzled by the smooth presentation of a Star Wars game with potential for big battles and epic moments. The graphics look good despite being 720p, thanks to good use of anti-aliasing to sharpen edges enough to fool you into thinking there is a more natural, higher-definition image before you. I applaud DICE and EA over this aspect, but it's probably the best part of this game outside of the Star Wars branding. I'm a fan of the Star Wars universe, but games haven't usually been good to play. The problems with Battlefront really stem from capitalizing on my imagination of an epic Star Wars battle. I step into a battle and am wowed, I run around and shoot stuff. But what else is there? Technically, not much. There are a handful of gametypes to choose from to vary your experience, but this is a dry shooter by today's standards as, after about 6-10 hours (depending on the person) the experience dries out and feels like there's nothing else to experience. The game is just good enough that some people will be okay with that, and good for them - if you can enjoy this game for 25+ hours, more power to ya. But for me, I expected this to be a lot of Battlefield with more fantasy implementations, because Battlefield is tried & true and Star Wars is huge and epic - the two should go together very well, and yet this is a half-baked package. The experience as infantry is perhaps the best part of the game, because stepping into vehicles feels very awkward and tough to control. The AT-AT is by far the best of the vehicles as you only control shooting. Jump into the AT-ST and it gets a little tougher to control. Even more-so are flight vehicles - they're so hard to control and nearly-impossible to master that I'm insane for jumping into one. I've managed to drop a couple rival fighters in the air, but mostly get crushed the moment I enter a battlefield because of target-locking missiles that others get that you may not (major point of imbalance!). But really controlling these vehicles is so bad and I'm beyond confused over this because I can control vehicles in Battlefield quite well (jets, helicopters - whatever they have I'm capable of using). By comparison, these are the worst controls of vehicles I've ever used (by comparison, don't overreact to that comment). There isn't a bona-fide single player, but you can play offline which is basically just the multiplayer stuff with AI units. I wouldn't mind this as I LOVED Titanfall, which had zero single player opportunities, but it feels pointless in Battlefront. Heroes are also a point of great fun. Jumping in as Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Baba Fett, etc. is fun because you basically melt multiple players in a single life without too much regard for your own health. It's randomized through icon pickups on the battlefield so it's not a killstreak or something else that you earn. You just gotta look for the hero icon to take part in this. And there you have it: Battlefield is fun to start off. Some people the mirage of an amazing game will be there for quite a while, but once you settle into the game and realize that the weapon unlocks and player card unlocks are all acquired (it doesn't take very long), there's nothing left to earn. You just play and, while that might be fun for a while, it leaves you having to love what is there. If you don't, you're going to regret buying this game. EA confirms a season pass for DLC which includes 16 maps (though they'll be divided among the gametypes, so that's not 16 maps you play through sitting on one gametype) for $50 - almost as much as the game. If there's any hope of Star Wars Battlefront getting better, it's going to be through the DLC. If you are on Xbox One, pay $5 for EA Access and play this game for 10 hours before you buy it. Worst case: you don't like it. Best case: you love it and you get 10% off the game when you're an EA Access member.… Expand

The gameplay is fast paced and **** fun as hell and it is a mix of Battlefield, Battlefront 2 and Call of duty (Some may consider that a bad thing. But **** you). Playing as the heroes is fun but you can easily fun a pick up and you die rather easily, this makes it so you don't feel as powerful as you really should feel when playing as a sith lord. The fighter squadron mode for me is really **** fun. Dogfights are intense and make me feel like i'm actually in the movies when i'm piloting an x-wing. There are some game modes that I love. Droid run is very tactical and team based but to win the mode you have to have the msot droids at the end of the match so if your team had all of the droids for the whole match and then the other team swoop in at the last second you feel very cheated. Walker Assault is great but is slightly one sided. Supremacy is fun. And heroes vs villains is also great. Customization needs to be improved but it is still a nice feature. The star card system is great and the weapons even though there is a sufficient amount they all seem to feel the same when using them. Survival is good but i'm not a huge fun of modes like that so I didn't enjoy it that much. That being said if you like horde modes you will love this. Playing this game made me feel like a kid again as I flew through the sky in an x-wing and took to the battlefield as Luke Skywalker and it brang back some memories I had when playing Battlefront 2 when I was a kid 8 years ago.

    But then there is the issues with the game. There is no campaign for starters which is a real bummer. This means that there is no new original interesting story and there is nothing to fall back on after playing the riveting multiplayer for a long time. There is also no space battles or galactic conquest, which kind of sucks seems as they were great in Battlefront 2. And then there is EA, slapping their massive **** dick all over the players faces until they ejaculate a season pass on to the players while begging them for money. I may have gone a bit far with that but you get my point. The **** season pass. Which most likely has all the missing content in. And they are going to make everyone pay for it because **** you we're corporate dick faces who hate the consumer but love their money. But who knows the DLC could actually have loads of content in. But it most likely won't. Also after about a month and leading up to the new movie Star Wars Battlefront will probably get tiresome and will disappear from my mind until five months later when I remember it actually exists and start playing all over again and falling in love with it all over again.

    Overall the game is fun, addictive, immersive and for a while is **** great. But in theory it is a disappointment. Even though the gameplay is great it lacks content. No campaign or innovative modes. At the moment it is one of the most fun shooters I have played in a while and the added Star Wars theme makes it even better. But at full price it can **** off. Because most of the game will be added through DLC. 7.5/10    … Expand

    There are some unlocks, like extra weapons, figurines and cards. Cards can be equipped and be used as secondary weapons and can be used as many times as you like, within the cool-down time limit. The gunplay is very easy to get the hang of, thanks to the no recoil style gameplay. Some of the problems that plague this game, from my experience really hurt the overall fun factor for me. Multiple times as you're spawning in, you'll get spawned near a group of enemies or vehicles. You'll constantly also receive "Critical Kill Assists Counts As 100", a lot. The flight controls are very wonky, to say the least. Going from piloting jets in Battlefield to flying in Battlefront, felt horrendous and not the least bit fun.

    In closing, Battlefront has some great fun behind it, but the fun gets old, as the gameplay becomes stale, thanks to hardly any depth to it and the low map count, the base game includes. An actual price point this game should be, would be about $40. I don't see enough content to warrant an actual normal $60 price tag.    … Expand

    Are you someone who is busy and can't invest a lot of time when playing a game?

    Are you someone who is only concerned with multiplayer competitive games?

    If you answered yes to all of these questions, then you should buy Battlefront. If you answered yes to some of the questions, but not all, give it a rent. You'll find out pretty quickly whether this game is a title you want to invest an actual purchase towards.

    I'm really liking this game so far, while others have used its simplicity as a negative against it, I love the arcade-y, simplistic feel. I just jump in a game, have fun no matter the outcome, and not feel like I have to invest over a hour for a singe match.

    The biggest detraction for the game is it feels like a seminal title, that you should wait for next year when they can really expand upon their initial offering. There's a base here for a really great game, it just falls short of great and is pretty good. So if you're a Star Wars fan looking for a great Star Wars experience, and doesn't mind playing a pretty good but not great game, then give it a shot.    … Expand

This is completely unfair as Battlefront is a good game.

    The production of the game is absolutely amazing, the graphics are fantastic as is the sound. The servers also seem to be holding up. A top top quality game on the production front.

    The gameplay took a little getting used. It felt a little slower than COD or Battlefield, and I feel it takes longer to dispatch your enemy with the early weapons. It is also noticible how different the kill to death ratio is to other shooters. I havent noticed it being any greater than 2:1 at the top, although I know its early days. That said the bottom of the table still consists of those on a 1:5-10. So this game is more equitable and accessible, but dont get me wrong it is still a challenge. All in, the gameplay isnt bad, its just slightly different. As for the maps, the ones we have are pretty good although I still need some time with them. The game modes are really good and varied, no issues on that from me. I come to battlefront for big battles and supremacy and walker assault deliver this well. the other modes wont be my go to modes but having tried all out for a couple of games each they will certainly be a good distraction.

    Now on to the thorny issue of lifespan. it is a relative question. Having come off 200 hours on Witcher should I expect the same from a FPS for the same price? I dont think anyone would but it does make you think about what is reasonable for my £40. I suppose the fairest way to look at this is to compare to other FPS. you undoubtedly get more with the other franchises, but I honestly dont think you get a massive amount more. Had the battle of Jakku been included in the off this would bring the maps to 14.... that isnt too bad! There is no single player campaign, which I would really have loved and the game is poorer for its ommission.

    That said having read the user reviews on this site I had a real crisis. I love Star Wars but I hate being ripped off. After a lot of thought I just went for it, and when I got it home I loaded it up not expecting much. You can control Vader whilst the game installed and this did nothing to allay my fears the controls felt clunky and it went on far too long. But, when I actually got in I started with the solo tasks to try and get used to the pace of the game. I was pleasantly surprised (having expected the worst) with the solo elements, nothing particularly special and pretty limited, but the way some talk of this game you dont expect any more than a few multiplayer maps.

    This is a good game, production is amazing, gameplay is good but the lifespan is lacking a bit (not as much as some say). I have spent 10 hours on it and still want more. I will probably hit 30 to 40 hours on this with no problem. This is a really good and fun game and I dont believe is worth any less than a 7. It has the potential to be great with some extensive DLC but right now it isnt there.

    Did I feel ripped off for my £40? No, its worth every penny. Not a great but it is a good game. 7/10    … Expand

For this review, I will be splitting the content up into 5 different categories: Graphics, Sound, Controls, Lasting Appeal, and Server Reliability. Lets start with how this game is presented.

After spending my time with the game, I have established a final opinion on it. For this review, I will be splitting the content up into 5 different categories: Graphics, Sound, Controls, Lasting Appeal, and Server Reliability. Lets start with how this game is presented.

    Star wars Battlefront is a breathtaking game since the second its booted up. Once spawned into a map, you will be treated to a superb array of detail and nods to the films and novels. Ewoks can be seen roaming around Endor, and Hoth contains some indoor pathways identical to the movies. And this is before it all gets destroyed. Once the battle starts, battlefront becomes one of the best looking games that I've seen. Ever. AtAt's lurk over the field and ships fly above. There is never a quiet moment in this game I have no complaints about the overall presentation of the game. I would rate it a 10 out of 10.

    Next up there is sound. Most effect sound great, in fact, almost all of them do.There's nothing more satisfying then hearing a thermal imploder detonate 10 feet away. However, it's the soundtrack that really bothers me. It sounds good, but it honestly just becomes an annoyance after a while. I found myself playing with the soundtrack off, because it just doesn't match. I would give the sound a 10 out of 10, assuming the soundtrack is down or off.

    The controls in this game are very good too. In this game there are "cards" with different weapons, perks, items, etc available for use. They are assigned to the left and right bumpers. The gameplay works, but it's not very innovative, and can get pretty boring after the first 10 hours. 6/10

    Next there is lasting appeal. This is where Battlefront struggles. The gameplay had my jaw hanging from the first match, but the majority of it wars off. However, there's nothing more badass then throwing sabers at people with vader, or hulking on the field in a huge AtAt. 6/10

    The servers didn't give me a huge problem, but they were a little annoying at times. he game would stop moving at points just because the server was "bad", when Gears of War worked just fine 10 minutes later. Also, you will frequently find yourself spawning into enemy fire. It's extremely annoying. 4/10

    All in all, this is a good, but not great game. The game lacks content, but makes up for it in pure awesomeness with what it has.    … Expand

Those wanting a game reminiscent of the older Battlefront titles are going to be disappointed. Same for those looking for a content rich experience. However people just looking for some Star Wars fun can find an enjoyable experience here. They just have to be willing to put up with some less than satisfactory aspects.

    There's no single-player campaign. There is single-player, offline content, but it all just boils down to bot matches and tutorials. There are some bonus objectives to tackle in these modes, but the only one really worth spending any time with is the survival mode. Unfortunately it too has some issues. For one there are only four maps. It also limits the mode to only two players. It's decent, but the AI isn't the greatest and honestly it lacks the punch survival modes have in other games.

    But by far the most disappointing part of the meager single-player offerings are that they show potential for what could have been an at least decent campaign. DICE nailed the universe. This game really does feel like Star Wars. Thee graphics and sound are both stellar. Combine those elements with some sharper AI, a solid plot, and decent structure and there could have been a campaign worth talking about. Sadly there isn't.

    With the offline content being so lackluster this is definitely a multiplayer focused game. Thankfully it mostly succeeds there. However the more picky out there will still find plenty of gripes. It isn't exactly bursting at the seams with content. More maps at launch would have been appreciated as would have some more modes. I personally view what's here as at the very least a decent amount of content. The real sting about this though comes from the $50 season pass. It's like EA wants us to pay almost double for a more complete experience. Kind of a low move.

    Another potential issue comes from the gameplay itself. Star Wars is a huge property. One that has attracted fans from every walk of life. In order to make a game that is accessible to as many of these fans as possible, it has been dumbed down in some ways from your average shooter. Skill still trumps all, but no matter what your gaming experience you can still feel at least a little proud of yourself when matches end. It's not too bad. The only real issue I have with it is the lack of voice chat. Without it there really isn't any strategizing going on outside of party chat with your friends. Some modes could benefit from it.

    Yet for all of Battlefront's issues I still find myself having fun with it. That's because it feels like Star Wars. Blasting my way through familiar locations, getting hero power ups, and playing fun modes like Walker Assault make it an enjoyable enough an experience to recommend for most Star Wars fans. Even with most of the modes just being standard to the average FPS, the Star Wars skin keeps me entertained. Perhaps it's better off as a rental at first, but I think Star Wars fans just looking for some multiplayer fun are going to find something to enjoy here regardless of faults.

    Decent game has quite bit of "cheese" but its catering to more casual gamer's but its still fun. Being i'v been without a star wars game for quite sometime i'm enjoying being back in that universe with that said i feel overall Battlefront 2 was a better game and wish DICE had gone more of that route but im optimistic for the future. Decent game.

    Why all the hate for this game? I mean I have fun with it and all but there are somethings I dislike about this game. One of these is the fact that the game is half finished and the only way to get all the content, is to get the dlc. The game is very dry but to me it is still fun.

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my opinion a great overall game. But honestly they left out some really classic details from previous Star Wars Battlefront games 1 and 2. For example, Galactic Conquest, split screen for walker assault, more Jedi and Sith characters for the epic Jedi vs Sith battles, and a Command Post objective based game styles with garrison mechanic enforced. And lets not forget epic space battles that are half the reason why star wars is awesome! The movies have some of their best scenes in space. From the first destruction of the death star, to Anakins youthful victory of the destruction of the Trade Federation command ship. Lets not forget Anakin and Obiwan flying their way to save Chancellor Palpetine/ AKA the emperor, or aka Darth Sidious. Star Wars Battlefront 2 gave us such a cool mind blowing experience when they introduced space battles and Jedi battles. I mean playing as Darth Maul is just awesome!

    Side note* Heroes, AKA Jedi, and Sith, should be able to command and pilot vehicles. Luke and Anakin/Darth Vader are 2 of the greatest pilots of all time! Why not put Darth Vader in a Tie fighter with increased health bonus and damage? Lets go above and beyond here guys!

    The director said he wanted to focus more on planetary epic battles. Okay very cool I am down with that. But where is the amazing battles from the clone wars and Naboo? Oh and that includes Kashyyyk! Oh but he said more focused on the older movies. Playing as a droideka is one of the coolest things I remember in Conquest and command posts. Rolling around as a ball of destruction being able to deploy a shield cover when deemed necessary was very convenient.

    One of the lasts points I think I will make is the lack of maps and depth in this game. Simplicity is important, but this seems to be a dumb downed version to what would have been the completion of the Star Wars Battlefront trilogy. This game was hyped for 10 years and had some of the worst reviews. I mean how do you go from Game of the Year to "Star Wars Battlefront EA" Don't get me started on EA right now. Come on EA turn this Millennium Falcon around in the right direction! This isn't Call of Freaking Duty. This is Star Wars Battlefront 3.

    I know this review has been mostly negatives if in fact all negatives. Don't get me wrong the game is very fun and addicting to play. However I haven't touched the game in almost a month and can find other fun games to pass the time. This game is Battlefield with a modded star wars skin is all. Lets get some free updates and make the dlc even better!    … Expand

    Looks great. Sounds great. Plays great. However there aren't enough maps. There's no single player campaign. The gameplay is unoriginal. There is too much DLC, almost all of which should have been shipped with the main game. A classic "wait until the price comes down" purchase.

    This could be remembered as one of the most underwhelming games of all time.

    I've spent hours upon hours investing into this game.

Given that it was so long-teased and in development for an eternity, I expected    This could be remembered as one of the most underwhelming games of all time.

    I've spent hours upon hours investing into this game. I hoped it would be a groundbreaker, packed with innovative surprises and a truly massive wartime "vibe" to it, something which is almost completely absent in the Star Wars saga. Given that it was so long-teased and in development for an eternity, I expected heaping amounts of content. Coming from Dice, who have a more impressive track record than many developers, these seemed like reasonable expectations, and I'm sure most of you would agree with that.

    So, how does it stack up a few months later, in a time when all online shooters must be judged based on their longevity and sustainability? Well, while I'm not a fan of arbitrary numbers suggesting the overall value of an experience, but Metacritic demands I do so, and so there's a 5 slapped on top of this post.

    My reviews can get very lengthy... like, "over 5,000 words" lengthy. I have a lot of conflicting thoughts on this game, so rather than talk in a circle, here's the good followed by the bad.

    This game can be breathtakingly beautiful, and aesthetically, it is a triumphant visual portrayal of the Star Wars universe. There are better looking games, sure, but the real treat here lies in the details. Much care was taken by Dice to ensure a faithful visual and auditory experience to satisfy fans. There can really be nothing taken away from the in-game production value. When those big battles do come around, you feel the intensity as we never have in a Star Wars game before.
    The actual gameplay mechanics were also surprisingly good to me. It's not quite like Battlefield, but the similarities can be noted. What really struck me and continues to be a bright spot is the fact that it just doesn't -feel- like anything else out there. The controls are sharp, (usually), and the way one moves about feels different enough to make the gameplay stand out. You won't bring a comprehensive understanding of how to play based off of any amount of Battlefield, CoD, or Halo you've been playing. It's still just a shooter, but even for seasoned gamers it requires a bit of learning. That is a tough thing to do these days. That is under-appreciated in this age of shooters.
    Also, the museum of collectibles is nifty, if not limited and redundant. Had the game been given more "meat," it would have been a fancy bow on top.

    Now, unfortunately, there is just as much bad as there is good... and possibly more.

    It could be said that this is a money grab; fancy eye-candy packaging to cover a shallow experience.

    I am a strong believer that all games must be judged based on their single player and multiplayer appeal equally, & this game is not easily enjoyed alone. Single player content is almost completely absent, and what effort was made was wasted, in my eyes. What's there amounts to little more than tutorials and waves of enemies. You play once on all of the maps, and you've seen it all. There is no plot to spoil. Rebels kill Imperials. Imperials kill rebels. The game lost massive points with me on the single player front. I don't -need- a campaign. What I need is a game that's fun to play alone, catering well to a person going into multiplayer flying solo. THAT qualifies as part of the solo aspect, and the game does so little to make you feel like going it alone.
    The obvious knock everyone has is the lack of content, and to be brief, that is with good reason. There are a handful of maps, environments, and objectives, but other than the Star Wars setting, you have had a chance to play everything here before. Where there could have been truly sprawling and varied battlefields which play out in numerous ways, you are almost getting an "on rails" feeling with the games premiere mode, Walker Assault. That type of design is unacceptable, given the work that was expended into other areas of the game.

    Equally lackluster was the currency system. It's simple; play games, get points, spend points. As far as I know, very little to nothing at all is unlocked from playing the game or finishing challenges. I understand that this keeps a more level playing field, but really, any good shooter develops a hardcore following, and those people should get a little something for their repeated efforts, in my opinion.

    Summarizing, it's not that Battlefront is a bad game, per se.... however, it is yet another disappointment from Dice, and by my count, that's 3 major releases met with valid criticism.
    It's is gorgeous, and faithful to its brand. It's clear that it was made by fans of the series. That being said, the pathetic amount of content will be run through by most players after a few hours, and in this day and age, that is not a sustainable experience.
    The shame is that we can see just what the developers were going for - with some great ideas mixed in - but once you've finished leveling up, there is going to be very little bringing you back to the galaxy.    … Expand

Since reading some of the reviews, I cannot help but notice many user reviews giving unnecessarily high praise to this game, and I believe at some point a blithering fool somewhere mentioned that you cannot compare this title to the games that came before it...? Yes, you CAN and SHOULD compare it to the originals, or any good game for that matter, because they did it RIGHT. Just because something is on next-gen hardware, why would you not compare it to its predecessor?

    I remember Star Ware Battlefront 2 for the PlayStation 2, and as a decade later follow up to that game, I am not seeing any innovation whatsoever. In fact, I am so disappointed by the mistakes with this game that I decided to write a review of it.

    So, first off, I have a bias toward EA, so if that is a factor for you, go ahead and skip this review. Electronic Arts no longer cares what you want. You know what they do care about? They care about money. They don't give one red cent about you or your experience except for what you might say about their game that might reduce sales. Unless you are a professional blogger or have a popular YouTube channel, they could care less about you, me, or our opinions. Here we go:

    Plot: cannot really muck with this since it's LucasFilm's property (now Disney), but I am sure they (EA) would have found a way had there been an opportunity.

    Voice acting: this is not terrible. Darth Vader was my only real complaint. He sounds like some white guy who is upset that someone ate his cereal. He does not have the deep, rich voice of James Earl Jones to be sure. I noticed a few other slight disappointments but nothing huge.

    Sound: The lasers shooting, and explosions galore have great sound quality, and the team did a magnificent job of portraying the Star Wars vehicles and environments.

    Gameplay: So, this is where it all works, or it doesn't. After playing for several hours yesterday, I hate it less than initially expected, but even sardonic praise is better than what I would have said before the time I spent with it last night. The tutorials were adequate but not fun, which is a segue into the whole experience. The only portion of the game that offers any fun is the multiplayer aspects, even if they are sub-par. I thought that DICE worked on this project, so where were they when it came to laying out the controls and gameplay? How many shooters are under your belt?? The controls do not utilize the full feature-set offered by the DualShock 4 controller by any stretch of the imagination. Also, I would like to know who the brainchild was behind the cards power-ups. That was criminal to do, for the sake of what... innovation? That was the best EA and DICE could produce was it?

    Graphics: Magnificent graphics for a terribly mediocre follow-up to one of the greatest sagas of all time.

    I should say thank you to EA and to DICE for ruining one of the most anticipated games for me. You both should be commended for your stupidity, and the fanboys are clearly right there on the bandwagon with you, dishing out nines and tens like poorly-executed blowjobs. If it wasn't for the brainless masses, we might still receive games worth playing from huge studios like EA.

    If you want a good game, try Fallout 4. It might have some bugs, but at least it is exhilarating to play and innovate utilizing ideas from its predecessor! Go figure.    … Expand

    I'm not going to lie. I've played this game a ton, but it feels like its missing something.

    No its not the single player content, or campaign, but the fact you pay $60 for such a limited about of content.

If you enjoy the large battle style battlefront, the game ships with only 4 playable maps. If you join in the rotation works out that you play the same side on each map each time unless you leave the play list and rejoin it with the hop you start on the other side. Since the playlist regularly rotates through the same maps in order they should have made sure to have an odd number of maps, and keep the # odd with DLC additions. Now granted the Battle of Jakku DLC (free) will hopefully fix this, but once again we are waiting almost a month after release for the 'actual' game to be out.

    The positives are that the game is very polished. Aside from a few game crashes (maybe once every 5 - 6 hrs of gameplay), it runs smooth and as intended. It's probably one of the best DICE/EA releases in years when it comes the actual final release quality of the code.

    I would recommend this though for major Star Wars fan, as this game is a really big fan service. The game is very true to the original films and feels so much like you are in these epic battles. If only it would have had a little more content I would have given it a 8/10.    … Expand

If you remove the extremely impressive and polished coating around this game, you are left with a shallow, and at best average, shooter game. There are a handful of modes that are fun for a while, but most are uninspired and more of a drag to play than a thrill. The map choice is very limited at launch, and I felt I'd seen everything in just a few hours. There is no real campaign, not much genuine choice, and just very little to get stuck into here.

    On top of this, the game has an absurd price tag. In the UK it's £40 at launch with very vague 'DLC packs' promised in the future for about the same price. Pay for everything, and you're close to £100 on a game that doesn't really beat its competition in any department other than sound and visuals. This is just ludicrous. Star Wars Battlefront feels empty, hollow and is a bit of a cash grab. It is smaller and less fulfilling than its predecessors and considering they are over a decade old now, DICE and EA have much more to do if they want the promised sequel to be worth anything near the prices they charge.    … Expand

    After a few hours of gameplay you’ll find there’s not much to keep your attention, the linear designs of the maps make combat extremely controlled and while it may not be entirely fair to compare it to Battlefield… the fact remains that I cannot put plastic explosives on a tree log, blow them up and have the tree log destroy a helicopter holding 6 people in it… The point being beyond killing members of the other side with a blaster… there’s no crazy possibilities open such as in battlefield.

    Now that isn’t to say there’s no fun to be had here at all… I did have a lot of fun to begin with, however I would say if this game could hold your attention for more than 10 hours of gameplay you may want to get checked for brain damage.

    Combat quickly descends into a monotonous process combined with such an unbelievable lack of content, the four planets at launch will become old real fast and the $69.99 CAD ask for the season pass is absolutely outrageous.

    To its credit though the multiplayer does work incredibly well, I don’t recall having any framerate issues, lag or connectivity issues in matchmaking, however the actual multiplayer game modes were very uninspiring, walker assault and supremacy are the only modes that are really worth any attention and fighter squadron is worth a look for a short time, if only for the ability to fly an X wing or tie fighter around for the five minutes it’s fun.

    As a quick side note the multiplayer custom avatars were equally uninspiring with very little choice.

    In the end, like a parent with a kid who’s done something bad… I’m not mad. I’m just disappointed, this could have been so much better than it was, I’m not entirely sure what would fix it. But we know we have a problem and that’s the first step in getting better.    … Expand

The fact still remains though that its content offerings can't stack up against Battlefront 2, which was released 10 years ago and you get far more for your money. It's $10 on Steam and you can still play multiplayer online provided you find a server through a hosting site such as Game Ranger.… Expand

The small amount of maps, weapons, and (quality) game modes will quickly bore you of the game, like it did to me and countless others.

    There is no difference between a good and bad player, due to the cheap, easy to use weapons, the heroes are almost unstoppable, there is little to none squad and team play, since everyone tries to go Rambo. And no one cares about the useless emotes and diorrama mode.    … Expand

    While there ary things that need to be improved and added, I enjoyed it. The gameplay is fabulous, the sound feels like star wars. The graphics are outstanding, with environment, character, and everything else looking like star wars. The game modes are fun, but some feel familiar with each other. I wish there was a campaign like the other two in the series.

But I have to agree with the general consensus that SWBF is flawed, to say the least.

    Let's start with the positive. The game looks AMAZING for one. The atmosphere feels right, just like star wars. The general feel of the game and the authenticity is spot on. It's almost worth it to buy it just to experience, by far, the most realistic virtual Star Wars world ever created - at least in terms of the atmosphere and graphics. The sound is also pretty spot on I have to say. And I have to give credit for how OPTIMIZED the game feels! Not only does the game look AMAZING, but it runs without a hitch! I am running it at completely maxed settings including AA at a resolution of 2560x1440 and it runs 99.9% of the time at a locked 60fps on my Radeon R9 390 - which is only a $300 single card solution. That is impressive.

    The bad. There is no single player campaign.... Okay, so yeah it is Battlefront, it's msotly about the multiplayer. But Star Wars is a universe we all crave to dive into. Instead what we have here is what feels like a mix between Call of Duty and Battlefield in the Star Wars Universe. It;s unbalanced like crazy for one. I started playing after a lot of people already had a bunch of unlocks. I do perfectly fine when I am not getting one shot by bowcasters or whatever other weapons seem to deal WAY more damage than the first few blasters you unlock. I think 90% of the time I died was from the 1 or 2 enemy players who happens to have all the unlocks. It's pretty unfair when everyone on the map is flying around via a jet pack and you have a pistol and a grenade because you have to spend a dozen hours playing to unlock anything else useful. Even so, I managed a 1.06 K/D ratio after about 6 hours of gameplay despite being at an obvious disadvantage. That said, the gamepaly is just shallow after only that small amount of time. I feel like I'm playing an arcade game with bigger, beautiful maps. It's like a Vegas VR experience or something that's only meant for a short period of fun and to experience a realistic Star Wars atmosphere with battles going on above and walkers around you. There's just no depth to this game. If you start late, you'll get crushed by OP weapons. If you start early you'll get bored of the mechanics... And then there's the unlock system itself and cards and floating power ups on the battlefield. Ugh.

    If Dice could team up with Bethesda, Square, or Bioware maybe? Maybe then they could develop a technically brilliant game, just like this one, but with a deep, interesting campaign and story and more interesting, balanced game mechanics. That's what this game should have been. A campaign that pulled us in and some innovative tie-in to multiplayer battles. Hell, even Titanfall was better than this and kept my interest longer. It's such a shame that possibly the best looking, best running game I can play on my PC is jsut boring and unbalanced after half a standard video game campaign worth of gameplay...    … Expand

The game does not fail to deliver stunning recreations of Star Wars characters, vehicles and landscapes, but that is where the praise ends. The first thing that you will notice right away is the lack of actual content. There is no story mode, only a few missions that have no story line at all and provide very little entertainment. The multiplayer continues to disappoint with very few maps. Within just two days I felt like I had played every map 30 too many times.

    The game play, it feels like someone told them "Don't stray too far away from the original games" and they went ahead and just used the same engine. The game practically BEGS you to play in the 3rd person by making the field of vision for 3rd person style much better than 1st person. This is very disappointing due to how good the game looks and feels in the 1st person. It is such a disadvantage to play in the first person it just doesn't feel worth it.

    The flying vehicles like the x-wings and tie fighters could not be more clunky and hard to fly. Good luck flying around without crashing kamikazee style let alone getting any kills. There may be three to five of the flying vehicle tokens on the ground at one time because no one wants to use them.

    The hero tokens maybe the coolest part of the game but none the less are still very clunky themselves. One would think being a light saber wielding Jedi would be more fun than it is but running around eating blaster bullets because your attacks are so awkward is not fun at all.

    The credit system is okay but the credits feel next to worthless due to how boring the customization options are. There are only a few guns and none of them match the Han Solo pistol in power and accuracy anyway. They give you a million different options of how you want to make your player look yet somehow they all look the same. Would you like your Asian female storm trooper to have black or brown hair?

    Overall I found the game to be a huge disappointment. It had so much potential but ultimately failed to live up to almost every expectation beside visuals.    … Expand

Perhaps the best thing about it is how it faithfully replicates the battles from the original "Star Wars" trilogy. Its top notch presentation perfectly captures the look and feel of the classic films. While the game does not feature a story mode, it does include maps and modes that can be played online and off. Unfortunately for a DICE game, it is lacking in depth. There is none of the strategy or customization that is normally included in an online shooter. While the modes from "Battlefield" have been somewhat carried into this game, they've been streamlined to a tee. It's as if DICE wanted to make a shooter for Star Wars fans who don't necessarily play them.

    For the record, "Battlefront" does include 14 maps, 10 multiplayer modes, 5 tutorial missions and two single player skirmishes (which can also be played with a partner). However, it's a mixed bag of good and mediocre modes. "Supremacy" and "Walker Assault" are lengthy 40-player matches that are the game's best. They play out similar to "Conquest" and "Rush" from "Battlefield". "Blast" is team deathmatch, "Drop Zone" is pretty much "Domination" from "Call of Duty", while "Battles" plays out like "Kill Confirmed" also from COD. "Hero vs. Villains" and "Hero Hunt" both feature famous SW characters; the former is a deathmatch, while the latter places one hero against five Imperial soldiers. "Droid Run" is basically "King of the Hill" and "Cargo" is a take on "Capture the Flag". Lastly, "Survival" is a horde mode with 15 rounds of Imperial attacks. Unfortunately, I've never played "Flight Squadron" since the flying vehicles are difficult to maneuver.

    Ultimately, "Star Wars: Battlefront" is a fun, if "minimal" online shooter. Fans should enjoy unlocking all of the iconic weapons, skins and artwork. Since its launch, DICE has updated the game with some free content which should keep it from getting too stale for those who don't own the Season Pass. And while the game lacks the content and tactical strategy of DICE's superior "Battlefield" titles, it can still provide some solid thrills. I'd rank it with a 7.2 out of 10    … Expand

    - Getting Character Customization takes a too long time if you think about the fact that you have every Star Cards at the level 20 (level 39 toke me 66 hours to reach). Everything else is being unlocked like every 5-10 levels (the highest unlockable thing is level 100)
    - There arent that many weapons to collect and most of the Star Cards (Powerups like a jet pack that you get in your loadout and can use for an example every 10seconds) are never picked because mostly you just have your healing grenade and your jetpack equiped. Without you will have a much harder time
    - The weapons are all so boring and it feels like the bigger the gun the worse it is. The most overpowered weapons are mostly boring to play.
    - The flightsystem is totaly unbalanced like on the one side they have a infinitive shield that you cant destroy normaly and you need to hope that the rocket that you can shoot every 10 seconds lands if not you are propably dead by another ship on the enemy team. And as I said the shield is only on one side. This completly ruined the whole flight system.

    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]

    As close as you'll get to getting your childhood back. Dig through the incredible production values and you'll find a serviceable shooter, but one with a potentially terminal lack of content. [Jan 2016, p.73]
