    Perhaps people don’t like to enjoy things for what they are anymore. But this reviewer would argue to enjoy everything in it’s place. Not every game needs to be played hundreds of hours to be enjoyed. I slapped down $13 to watch The Force Awakens on Dec. 18th. That will be complete in 2 hours. $60 for something I’ll enjoy for 40+ hours sounds fine to me, and the first 10 hours have been indicative of a worthwhile game.

    I belive this game dossnt get enogh credit for how it is. It is one of my most favorite games now and an amazing new future of games could be branched off of this one. The older battlefronts where amazing at there time and this is too. I love this game and can't wait to get home to play it again. :)

Compared to previous entries, it gives us a new perspective of the Galactic Civil War, giving us heroes and villains never seen in the Battlefront Franchise since the X-Box ages. The gameplay, multiplayer, and sense of gaming makes it a must play game. All of its features are made only for players to have a good time, a truly Star Wars experience. We know this already, but the only thing that makes this amazing game a great disaster its the lack of content for free, and the fragmentation of its existence, forcing you to become a money master in order to get all of the maps and content. But unlike any other game before, Battlefront makes this sacrifice to make itself more player friendly, uploading only what fans and gamers want, away of Lucasarts personal interests. A great estrategy, something other game producers need to learn. We have great hopes of this game,we expect they learn from their mistakes, and make Battlefront, in the future, a must have game for every FPS or Shooter gamer worldwide. Expand

Gameplay is fast-paced and fun, with large and small scale battles feeling exciting and well-balanced. Technically, the game runs very smoothly, with none of the bugs or crashes that have plagued large game releases over the past few years.

    For people looking for more than an easy Star Wars fix, you will want to rent this before buying. The gameplay is very fun, but not particularly deep. Customization is present, but not necessarily complex, and the small number of maps can be repetitive during long play sessions. My advice would be to play this game casually, rather than treat it in a hardcore manner like Fallout 4.

    For those that are cowed by the low user score, there is a general feeling of anger among many in the gaming community that this game is not simply a reskin of the old school Battlefront games, combined with general resentment towards Electronic Arts, the publisher of this game. All of this petty whining has led to people who are reviewing this game negatively for personal reasons, rather than rating the game objectively.

    I think it's an absolutely fantastic game. A little more casual than other shooters so it fits into it's own niche nicely. It's great for my younger son and I to play together and it's uncomplicated nature makes it easy fun for someone who isn't a hardcore shooter fan.

    My Original score was a 5/10 because I found the game to be average at first. I should say reviews should be done after the game has been given enough time, and now it has.

    For the first few levels you tend to not have a great time- this is a flaw for sure. I found the flying to be hard at first but once I did the tutorials a bit I got better at that too.

    After logging some serious hours into this game I now LOVE this game. The game is incredibly immersive in the Star Wars universe. The game has no campaign, but it is a multiplayer game meant to have enormous battlefronts. WARNING do not play this game like a Call of Duty game or you will have a bad time. You have to be careful and find cover, and learn how to capture objectives efficiently.

    The game is just plain fun. It does have more depth than meets the eye, but the different star cards basically determine your "class" or what you are best at. If you want to kill vehicles you need an Ion torpedo or Ion shot star card. If you want to kill infantry use pulse canon or homing shot. Play heroes Vs villains to learn the heroes better.

    I'm only taking 2 points off for the beginning of the progression system as it is hard for first few levels and one for the DLC price- though I think I will buy it as I am having so much fun with this game, LEGITIMATE fun. Again my first impressions were off, but seriously give this game a chance. Its also really fun with more friends.

    Starts you off with some training on Hoth as a rebel hunting floppy legged Imperial drones, from the perfect rendering of the blaster in your hands to the whine of the snow speeders passing overhead this is star wars as you remember it.

    This will keep you entertained for years, i know i will be playing till Battlefront 2 comes out.

    *note on the lower scores here.
    Many people were not given the exact carbon copy of Battlefront 2 (a decade old game at this point) they were expecting with upgraded visuals, because of this they feel the need to lash out and give poor reviews. Same again many did not get a good single player experience from an entirely multiplayer game. Some also take the hipster EA hate route and attack their business practices eg: DLC. None of these people have valid arguments or have anything constructive to say about the actual game so please ignore them. :)

    Visuals/sounds of course are amazing

    Visuals/sounds of course are amazing everything looks,sounds and feels like you are coming out of the movies in amazing detail. stormtroopers die and fall over in ways you remember you react to environment around you without impeding your play it's fantastic
    Common gripes are because of the no story and it's repetitive. First i want to remind this is a reboot and the first battlefront also didnt have a story. Second me and a friend who love playing the old battlefront together have played alot of the new battlefronts missions. The battles and survival modes are alot of fun even playing them continuously and we've enjoyed these modes alot more then we enjoyed the story or normal battles itself.
    I also want to point out that the original battlefront was bare bones compared to the newest one. Both battlefront one and two had one main mode where you captured command posts it was alot of fun and i played it alot but it was repetitive. They did add things in two like the jawas vs tusken raiders but the overall mode was the same. This reboot battlefront has several modes all playing very different and all very fun.
    Another common complaint is no space battles ,again i'd like to point out as a reboot this is even with battlefront 1. Despite this unlike battlefront one they have an amazing replacement. Fighter squadron is a specific mode just for dogfights through the amazing detailed maps. As fun as space combat was in the original the actual battles was the same thing every time. What i enjoyed about it was the dogfights and this mode perfectly fills that void and more.
    The game isnt prefect a lack of planets that even battlefront 1 had hurts. also it's not meant for fans of high skill multiplayer shooters. This is definitely meant for casual fun in star wars worlds.

    This game by no means deserves a 0-4 this game never promised to be a high skill game for cs:go players. It has alot more modes then the originals each of which are more enjoyable then the original mode. It does suffer from the lack of an era in the wars though thats probably do to the internet hating the prequels in every other regard but battlefront and the game is still alot of fun. No campaign is a bummer but this is meant as a reboot not a 3rd game and battlefront 1 didnt have campaign either. Despite this the missions and survival playing solo or with a friend more then makes up for it. The fun of space battles have been capitalized and improve in fighter squadron. Despite what people may try and tell you this isnt a battlefield reskin. I'm not a big fan of battlefield and went into battlefront expecting it to be a reskin and was thankfully proven wrong. I dont ever feel like i'm playing battlefield the movement,vehicle controls,gameplay are all different and feel that way.
    This game is a solid great take on the franchise and im already pouring alot of hours into it. Take of your nostalgia glasses take a hard look at the modes and gameplay of the original and this is easily a vast improvement. Real score is about a 8 going to give it a 9 though to help this stupid system of giving a game a 0 or a 3.

    I find the game fun, but I am a sucker for anything Star Wars, especially when the visuals are some the best I've seen. However, if you are not a Star Wars nut like me, I would avoid this game at all costs, there is just not enough here, content wise, or gameplay wise.

    I gave the game an 8, because like I said, I'm a sucker for Star Wars, and have spent 55 hours playing so far, but for the average hardcore gamer this game would be a 5... sadly.

    I have been a DICE Battlefield fan since BC1 all the way up to BF4 placing in the top 50 for BC2 and BF3. That said I cant even fathom why DICE would only have 4 maps for the premier game mode Walker Assault. Its the only game mode I like and my friends like, so I spent $60 on 4 maps.

I don't know what they were thinking, but the game should have been released for $40 not $60. Ea should slash the season pass price in half for this rip off. Graphics and sound are amazing but replaying 4 maps over and over with a broken party system just doesn't cut it.

    Bottom line this game is just pure fun, you just pick up and play. It doesn't have the customization of Battlefield (which 85% of the unlocks never get used anyway) nor the twitch shooting mechanics of Call of Duty (if this is what you were expecting this isn't the game for you).

It doesn't have the customization of Battlefield (which 85% of the unlocks never get used anyway) nor the twitch shooting mechanics of Call of Duty (if this is what you were expecting this isn't the game for you). Battles actually feel like battles where a group of troopers can be trading fire with a group of rebels and it's fun and intense. Walker Assault and Supremacy only have 4 maps but they are huge well designed maps, the smaller game modes have many more which are also designed well. The customization is limited but it is a star wars game after all. One thing no one mentions is that this game actually has split screen co-op and is a blast to play with your child or a sibling. Survival is fun and can get pretty hectic through the final rounds. The spawns can be hectic sometimes but that seems to be a problem in most games these days *cough halo 5 cough.

    If you don't remember what Battlefront 2 was actually like please stop comparing this game to it for it feels exactly the same as the old ones. Yes there is no space battles but there is Fighter Squadron mode, no there aren't any classes but gamers these days can't seem to grasp how to use a class system and never drop health and ammo anyway (look at bf4). And you can't call BF2 campaign a campaign, it was a rotation of conquest mode with audio laid over top. If you want that just load up a single player battle and repeat the 4 missions a few times until you've felt you've won.

    This game is geared towards a more casual audience, it's not for the hardcore but can be if you let it.

Those of you who are call of duty players coming to this game, you are not going to be able to just slide in and dominate the battelfront. This game is for star wars fans and Battelfront fans and I think this reboot did amazing. Thank you EA.

    A must for any Star Wars fan. The locations really draw you into the universe. If you aren't big on first person shooters SWBF has other things to enjoy with vehicles and solo missions. No campaign, however the training missions help to hone your skills for multiplayer. The game is fast and knowing what equipment to utilizes will be key in keeping you alive when you get into close combat.A must for any Star Wars fan. The locations really draw you into the universe.

The big maps really leave you feeling like you are in a laser fight between the Empire and the Rebel Scum. I will say that I do agree with some of the reviews stating things about the price point on this game and most AAA games of resent. I knew going into SWBF I would be very satisfied BECAUSE of the listening, however I more then get get and agree with the argument that EA is raking me over the coals for a extra levels later that should have shipped with the game at launch.

Thanks to the holograms placed on the maps, gameplay becomes more varied, so we don't have to be a grunt all the time during a single battle. We can pilot an X-Wing or TIE Fighter, an AT-ST or AT-AT, or even become a hero, such as Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Han Solo and more.

    On the bad side, there's a lack of content, maybe reserved for the announced DLCs. Only 6 heroes, only two starfighters for the Empire, three for the rebels (and only two for the fighter mode). There are 4 worlds with several maps on each (Jakku is coming in a couple of weeks), but their marked environments feel like all the maps on the same planet are the same map.

    Awesome Game. If you want to get your Star Wars fix, you're going to love it. Don't buy it expecting a campaign mode. Be prepared to spend another 50 dollars for the season pass if you want more content.

    Although many have been negative about lack of content, this game is visually amazing and does offer a lot to those that understand how the game is meant to be played.

I think too many reviewers are quick to rip on a game without a campaign. However, many reviewers ripped on Battlefield 4 for having a campaign that was not deep enough. I guess you cannot please everyone.

    This is a great game and one I have waited over 10 years for. Please give this game a chance and play with friends, because that is when a bulk of the fun begins. The replay value with friends will be great as new maps are added. One last comment on the maps, they are amazing and I found myself continuing to find new paths and places to hide and use to my advantage. We have not discovered all the unique gems of the game.

    Finally, lets not under report how stable the launch has been. I played several online games on DAY1 and had ZERO server issues on PS4. When was the last game to launch with such a stable online environment???? COD Black ops III has had multiple server outages and issues that ruined my ability to play online in week one. DICE has done a great job preparing for launch and making one of their best stable games to date!!

    Star Wars Battlefront is the Star Wars game I have always wanted, the multiplayer is spot on. Controls are some of the best in gaming, the only downfall(for some people anyway) is the lack of a campaign. This day and age campaigns in FPS games are usually skipped anyway. I will be playing this game for many months to come!

    A lot of haters writing reviews and giving negative scores for really odd reasons. But here's one that gets to the important stuff.

    -If you're a Star Wars fan this is a must buy, the action is immersive. If you ever wanted to see what it felt like to hold a blaster on Hoth this is your game. -THIS IS NOT BATTLEFRONT 3 from a decade ago. A lot of negative reviews harp on this point.

    -If you're a Star Wars fan this is a must buy, the action is immersive. If you ever wanted to see what it felt like to hold a blaster on Hoth this is your game.
    -THIS IS NOT BATTLEFRONT 3 from a decade ago. A lot of negative reviews harp on this point. That game had two predecessors and years for the developer to build on their engine. This is a great start for EA in Battlefront universe and all of those features people are whining about not having that was supposed to be in 3 may come about down the road in the franchise but the lack of features that were in development for a game that never came out in 2008 doesn't take anything away from this game and is well worth your investment.
    -Controls are smooth and responsive, flight takes a little getting used to but once you get it it's so much fun. This game features the best Star Wars flying experience since Rouge Squadron.
    -Visuals are beautiful EA DICE went above and beyond with their modeling one of the best looking games for this console generation thus far.
    -Sound is absolutely amazing. This is what really factors into the immersion I mentioned earlier. From laser blasts to the sound of a tie-fighter's engine they absolutely nailed it.
    -The lack of a single player campaign is somewhat disappointing, but they are various single player missions available to help you get used to the controls. These missions are fun and can be challenging. I still haven't mastered the speeder bike yet though. I just wish there were more of them.
    -Maps are designed reasonably well again just wish there were more of them. There will be plenty of DLC around for this game but it's pretty expensive. I chose not to buy the season pass and to wait and see what the DLC is before I decide to buy said DLC. Something tells me the DLC will be pretty expansive but we'll wait and see.
    -Plenty of game types to try from a simple TDM to the incredibly fun walker assault plenty to keep you busy.
    -Lots of blasters and other weapons to unlock as well as lots of character customization.
    -Multiplayer runs very well haven't experienced any lag. There was a slight server hiccup right after launch where you couldn't find a game but after about 45 mins or so servers were up and working fine. No in-game chat unfortunately so you'll have to use the Xbox party system to communicate with your friends, I don't mind this because now I don't have to listen to a 12 year old cursing and saying racial slurs and I use Party most of the time anyway but I can see why people would be let down by not having in-game chat. I don't like the fact you can only use a partner spawn rather then a squad spawn. If you have an odd number of players in your party one person will have to partner up with a random player while everyone else will have an in-party partner to spawn on. This is probably my biggest complaint.

    Overall a great game with some minor things that I felt could have been better. I hope this is helpful for anyone looking to buy the game. Don't believe the haters and the COD and Battlefield fanboys go out and try this game and I promise you'll have fun.

I don't play many FPS, however when the battle is raging and a tie fighter crashes right beside you, you hear "Lord Vader fights among us." and the the sound on your speakers starts to crescendo with that gorgeous score it is something special, coming from a Star Wars fans heart. However that said, if you do not like Star Wars I would not recommend this game for you- there is not much content and if you are solely purchasing for good gameplay there is better games out for that. (6.5/10) Yet, if you are a star wars fan, play games for good scores and beautiful graphics then I would definitely say it is worth the 60 dollar price tag. Just make sure you keep your receipt in case you are not satisfied. I will give it an 8 out of 10 for that. Now to get to rank 50 so I can be a Twi-lek. Expand

    Gun-play is almost flawless. There is a mode for pretty much every kind of player. But the lack of a single player campaign hurts the score I gave it. If you want to make a successful shooter then you need to cater to the gamers that don't like playing online as well.

I was nervous after reading the reviews, but my wife came home with it for 49.99 at costco. I put it in installed and am having a blast. The atmosphere really does it's job of pulling you into the experience. The mechanics are solid and it feels nice in that slightly-less-tight-than-COD way Dice games share. I found it easy to jump into and understand. The vehicles do seem to be on more of a curve than Battlefield, but im not ready to write that off as bad controls vs. me sucking. The card system allows for some depth, but overall the options are fairly shallow. Rather than destroy the experience, i feel that this keeps things simple and ensures everyone is basically competitive even if the other guy has more unlocks.

    Game balance is still in issue. Rebels own Endor, just like imperials owned hoth in the beta. I havent played enough matches yet to see if DICE adjusted from the beta but even as is, it fits narratively, adding to the sense of victory when your team pulls it off.

    Plenty of modes. I havent even touched them all yet. Search a wiki or preview for more info. Without a single player campaign proper (which honestly would have looked a lot like what we got anyway..multiplayer maps with terrible AI and boss fights against heroes), and lackluster progression, having a variety of modes is most likely what will carry this game after the initial shine wears off.

    Well, that and the expansive season pass. Ive seen complaints in other reviews, and i wonder how someone can be so mad when the content hasnt been revealed yet, and we dont know the breadth of it. I guess this argument comes down to whether or not you believe the game AS IS NOW, justifies 60 bones. And to answer that, you have to ask how much it is worth to you to play out your star wars fantasies on the most faithful recreation of this universe to date. The aesthetics simply cant be argued in regards to their faithfulness to the source. If geeking out of being on the ground in these iconic (and one new) scenes sounds at all appealing, then you are already there.

    There are lots of negative reviews. Some of them bring up some very valid points. Look at what these guys say, take out the entitlement and sentiments of those who havent played the game (they are basically reviewing a bulletpoint list they saw on reddit or gamestop) and if whats left sounds appealing...see you on the battlefront.

Yes, right now there are limited maps, but the Enormous amount of game modes change those maps and how you play them in so many ways. Yes its a cheap tactic to get more content out of the same areas, but at the same time it works well.

    The physics, sounds, and graphics are stellar. It took me into my favorite star wars moments with my best friends. The game just released, so there are some obvious problems, like balancing on maps etc, but overall I give the game 9/10. The missed point is simply for the same four maps, and lack of balance, but both of which can be fixed.

    One of the best things about the release is that you can TRY IT FOR FREE!..... So give it a whirl and see for yourself, don't trust every review, this game may or may not be for you.

    "Star Wars: Battlefront", DICE's revival of Pandemic's online shooter, is similar to their own "Battlefield" franchise in terms of both structure and gameplay.

The best thing I can say about it is how faithfully it re-creates the famed battles from the original "Star Wars" trilogy. The game's presentation captures both the look and feel of the classic movies with its stunning graphics, iconic sound effects and John Williams' legendary score. While "Battlefront" does not contain a campaign, it does include numerous maps and modes that can be enjoyed both online and off. However, compared to the "Battlefield" games, it is lacking in depth. There are numerous weapons, gadgets and abilities to unlock, but nowhere as much as you'd find in any other comparable shooter. However, if you're a fan of both "Battlefield" and "Star Wars", you'll certainly enjoy "Battlefront".

    The game includes 14 maps, 10 multiplayer modes, 5 tutorial missions and two single player modes which can be played with a partner. But it must be said that not all are on equal footing when it comes to enjoyment. "Supremacy" and "Walker Assault" are 40 player matches and are the best modes the game has to offer. Aerial combat can be found in "Flight Squadron" and melee combat is exclusive to the two "Hero" modes which feature three heroes from the good side and bad. "Droid Run" and "Conquest" has you protecting an area of the map from the opposing team. And "Battles" is basically "Kill Confirmed" from "Call of Duty" (you must pick up icons left by dead adversaries to score). Lastly, "Survival" is a horde mode where you must survive 15 rounds of Imperial attacks. Additionally, the game includes mini-challenges that unlock artwork when completed and you can also purchase various skins as you earn currency.

    DICE has made the announcement that free maps and modes will appear throughout the year, so even if you haven't bought the Season Pass, there are some add-ons to look forward to. In the end, "Star Wars: Battlefront" is a good addition to the "Star Wars" universe. It celebrates the original trilogy very much like "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and is more enjoyable than the uneven "Force Unleashed" games. So if you're a fan of DICE, "Star Wars" and FPS game in general, then you'll certainly enjoy it. 7.8 out of 10

    It's definitely not perfect as there isn't enough content initially to warrant its price tag and with expensive DLC it will definitely be hard to justify buying it for someone who wants a great package for 60 bucks.

    The game is good for his generation, has great visuals, a perfect multiplayer experience and perfect sound effects except from some of the hero's. The content you get based on maps, game modus, sounds, graphics, customization is overall great compared with other games. At least it's a new game with both fps and third person experience, this is also a piece of great engineering, both functions works perfect and looks stunning!

    I also wanted a game like battlefront 1/2 and I also realise it just isnt possible to build a galactic conquest. I will explain, so 40 players split up in 2 teams jumping in space ships flying from one ship to the other destroying the ship outside, looks like a real caboodle to me! It would have been extremely unbalanced and not from this time. I would suggest that if we want to play a old generation battlefront we just play the old generations battlefront, because I still play it at moments I desire to.

    And for all the gamers that complain about a season pass, PLEASE PUT A ZERO IN EVERY REVIEW YOU WILL EVER MAKE FOR A GAME!

    Thanks EA for this amazing experience.

    A big starwars fan!

    For once I feel like I'm playing a next-gen game. A graphical leap that deserves special attention. Make no mistake, this is some of the best graphics any FPS has ever had EVER. Sure...it doesn't pack the same amount of content that Black Ops III has...but this is a gaming experience unlike any I've ever had, and for that, I can't help but feel a bit bummed by some of these criticsFor once I feel like I'm playing a next-gen game. A graphical leap that deserves special attention. Make no mistake, this is some of the best graphics any FPS has ever had EVER. Sure...it doesn't pack the same amount of content that Black Ops III has...but this is a gaming experience unlike any I've ever had, and for that, I can't help but feel a bit bummed by some of these critics reviews.

    The game is decidedly minimalistic...with smooth motion graphics that show your score and upgrades at the end of each match. The game has stripped away a lot of the **** that has distanced some people from COD and Battlefield, and brought the player back to a simpler time much akin to Goldeneye.

    The game is more about the battle itself and the objectives at hand. Maps don't provide unrealistic cardboard boxes you can hide behind to protect yourself from bullets. The landscape is like a real landscape of a battlefield...sometimes open and perilous, sometimes tight and awkward. This has been deemed a mistake by a lot of reviewers, but I find it incredibly refreshing. For once people have to survive based on their ability to take chances and use their skill-set, rather than half-hide behind a wall and camp all day, picking off unsuspecting players as they race toward an objective.

    Speaking of which, the heroes create a balance where anyone who has decided to take the camping route can no longer hide. Heroes are immensely fun to take control of, and they provide a fun way to strategically take over waypoints. I'm still itching to play as Boba Fett again--flying through the forest of Endor shooting my enemies below as I protect them from activating the uplinks. It actually made me consider taking a day off of work. It's a richly unique experience and reminds me of a first-person shooter version of League of Legends. A tug-of-war match from the ground with heroes leading the charge. It's a ton of fun.

    And for once, I'm actually excited to put some money down for DLC. I really believe in the engine that's been created here, and while I feel I have plenty to dig into still after a solid 10 hours of online gameplay, my mind races thinking of all the cool maps, unlockables, and game types this game is going to unleash. I'm more than satisfied with what's here, but I can tell EA put in a lot of work to creating a living, breathing world, and anything they add to this will be delicious gravy.

    I'm shocked at the reaction to this game. It seems that people either love it or hate it. Which I often think is a sign of a good film. I've never quite applied that to video games though.

    Here's a perfect example on how you should view your decision to purchase Star Wars: Battlefront or not. I'm always amazed by how people support Destiny like it's their first born child. It's a game that seems so repetitive and lacks so much content that it originally promised. It's a game that requires you to grind through the same bosses and maps to find new, rare loot. People love this game. I loved the story mode, and I enjoyed grinding for a short while, but ultimately, I think that it fell incredibly short of Microsoft's promise to essentially deliver the entire UNIVERSE.

    My whole point for mentioning Destiny though is that at a certain level of video game quality--people just like what they like. I don't knock anyone for liking Destiny. Presentation, graphics, and audio are excellent. It's a well-made game. Tier-1 video game development here. But it's not my thing. It's their thing. It didn't meet my expectations, but it met a lot of other people's expectations to a "T."

    It's weird to me to review Star Wars: Battlefront and give it a 6/10 like Forbes did today. (Ironically they gave it a 10/10 yesterday). I mean...have you played a 6/10 game before? Games like Star Wars: Battlefront don't belong in a failing category. Perhaps it didn't meet your expectations, like Destiny didn't meet mine. Perhaps it meant that it was not your style--but there's no argument: it's presentation, appeal, gameplay and replay-ability is beyond excellent.

    Winter Nagano Olympics '98 for the original Playstation, that game was a 6/10. Some of the Harvest Moon series' games (which by the way, I have a soft spot for Harvest Moon), those games are 6/10.

    Star Wars: Battlefront? At the bare minimum a 7.5 out of 10. If you just absolutely hated this game...you can't say it's a failing game entirely.

    What the Battlefield/Battlefront series does better than any Call of Duty game is tell a story. Call of Duty is a shooter for sport. Battlefront is a shooter with a priority on fun and experiences.

    It's cinematic. It's strategic. It's excellent gameplay.

    Some of these reviewers I just want to ask them, "Is your ice-cream too cold?" This game is excellent dessert. It's entirely well-made and well-executed. Just because they were expecting something else, doesn't a game is bad.

    I think everyone just wanted to include a Star Wars pun in their review title.

Yes, it's pricey, when you count the $50 "season pass" but, it's a beautiful game and, captures the magic, of the films, for me. My favorite aspects, of the game, so far are the dogfight modes and the "kill the hero" mode. I like the game. Expand

    There is maybe a lack of maps, but the game does have a good value over time in my opinion. You will see people whining about this but that is because many look at the content and not at content + replay.
    It is there that Battlefront is great the replay.

    Would I want a single player ? Yes ofc I love campaign but anyone that knows how google works, knew it was not going to be there. Everything the game offers was told months/ weeks before release. the people that are whining at the moment are the people that bought without looking what it offers.

    Star Wars Battlefront is the most immersive Star Wars video game experience ever—period. Dice (the creators of Battlefield) have done a phenomenal job at recreating this universe; primed with stunning moments that instill not only a grand sense of nostalgia for Star Wars fans, but also a genuine sense of fun. However, this experience may be far shorter lived than one would hope for aStar Wars Battlefront is the most immersive Star Wars video game experience ever—period. Dice (the creators of Battlefield) have done a phenomenal job at recreating this universe; primed with stunning moments that instill not only a grand sense of nostalgia for Star Wars fans, but also a genuine sense of fun. However, this experience may be far shorter lived than one would hope for a multiplayer-only shooter. Thanks to the noticeable lack of diverse content coupled with the developer’s apprehension to push the franchise into new and challenging territories.

    And what a unique experience it is. Playing Battlefront is a lot of fun. Whether you’re the rebel alliance, or the empire, the gameplay is well balanced and runs seamlessly. Its great level design helps make the maps you play on, feel more like actual places than maps—quite an accomplishment for any multiplayer game.

    The main game play focuses on your blaster of choice and power up cards you unlock. There are only a few blasters in the game, with no level of individual customization (an odd fact coming from the “unlock heavy” Battlefield 4 developers). The strategy of firefights depends heavily on the power cards. You can have up to three equipped. These cards give you items such as special weapons, grenades, and jet packs. They recharge over time after each use, allowing you to use them frequently, yet ensuring that they aren’t spammed. The more powerful weapons, like orbital strikes, rocket launchers, and vehicle pickups, are one-time use spawn tokens spread across each map. While some cards are certainly prioritized over others, such as the jet pack with its ability to get to vantage points and in and out of conflicts quickly, all the cards can be useful if used appropriately.

    On top of normal infantry game play, there are special hero characters from the films you can play as by picking up a unique token. Each hero has unique powers and buffered health bars, and therefore offers great opportunities for strategic pushes, and fun to be had. You can cut down rebels on Hoth as Darth Vader with the Imperial March theme playing, you can shoot the emperor in the face as Han Solo, and you can cut a TIE fighter out of the sky as Luke Skywalker (good luck). It is in these moments that Battlefront really shines.

    Unfortunately these moments are mostly restricted two the two largest game modes, Supremacy and Walker Assault. Both offer 20 verses 20 battles with vehicles, huge maps, and hero characters. Supremacy focuses on the acquisition of sequential capture points. While Walker Assault pits rebels vs empire. Where the rebels try and stop the goliath imperial AT-AT walkers from reaching an end point by holding two capture points, which call in bombers, which in turn allow the rebels to do damage and try to destroy the walkers. The empires task is to stop this at all costs. Each of these modes offers a foundation for glorious blaster chaos and epic moments to take place. The other game modes are not as fulfilling by comparison.

    There is also a co-op option. Locally or online, you and a partner can beat missions, battle against each other and the AI, or complete survival horde type missions. Each of the co-op options suffer from a lack of depth and replay ability. The missions serve as simple glorified tutorials. The battles are noticeably limited. You can’t play on the same team as your partner and there are no options or objectives beyond kill the AI or your buddy. Survival missions are very run-of-the-mill—survive. Once completing any of these, there is no incentive to do it again. There is a feeling of emptiness in these modes.

    It is actually a common feeling surrounding the entire game. The problem with the game is what it lacks, not what it has. The developers did everything they should have, not what they could have. The Star Wars universe, visuals, sounds, and game play is great. There is a large scale game mode that compliments the universe and game play. And there is a co-op mode. But the holes around this core are numerous. There are not nearly enough customization options with game play and features. There are only six hero characters where there is certainly a desire and room for more. There is a lack of a more extensive unlock system that provides players incentive to work towards something. Very few worlds are also explored, though they are done expertly. Co-op is far too limited. You can’t customize battles or even play on the same side outside of online.

    What the game lacks is certainly a lot. But what we do get, is certainly highly polished, and can be largely fun. It is a game that has achieved a unique experience, but it plays it safe by taking far too few risks in diving deeper in its available content. Whether the content right now is capable of keeping players online, and whether future content will fulfill some of the absent possibilities will certainly be a testament in due time, but one that I have acquired a new hope for.

Supremacy and Walker Assault are of course a couple of the funner modes, but I honestly like the Fighter Squadron mode the most so far. So far I am having fun, but I can see where some come from stating the lack of content considering the low map count for each mode. EA has stated a few days ago though they are now going to release new maps and starcards for free on top of the planned content and free DLC that comes out in 7 days. So I can see myself getting $60 worth out of the game easily over the next month or two. Beyond that though the season pass is questionable and we will have to see what they add(I refuse to buy that until some information is released on it). So for an early review of the game and getting a general feel of it and the content provided I would honestly rate it at a 7/10. However I will bump that up to a 9/10 considering all the people rating it 0/10 lol. The game is much better than that and the user-review hate is rampant here for some reason. Expand

    I also haven't had a decent star fighter fix since rebel assault on the N64 either, so that's a big bonus.

    I am subtracting one star for the blatant holding back of content for the season pass as it should just be included for the price!

    Also I have seen some of the reviews say that there is no way to play single player. This is completely false. In mission mode you can play by yourself, or with a friend in co-op or online co-op. Its not a full campaign, sure, so I won't give it credit for being one, but to say it doesn't exist is just wrong.

    I have also seen the complaint that the game doesn't feature different classes of soldier. This is true for the most part. You are either a rebel or a storm trooper. However, you can unlock specialty traits later as you progress to help specialize your character for a specific style of gameplay, but it is not a separate class.

    The game runs smoothly, the sounds are amazing, and it looks beautiful. And on top of that the game makes you feel like you are in Star Wars, especially in the Fighter Squadron mode, or any time you pick up a hero token.

    I'd like more single player stuff, and having different classes would have been cool, but overall the game is good. People have a lot of hatred for EA and DICE in their minds and it is clouding their judgment. People are acting like they were lied to, even though EA and DICE said for months leading up to release that this game was going to be multiplayer focused, but still people act like they were duped into buying this game. They need to take a step back and realize that this game is exactly what they said the game was going to be. This game is fun and worth the price.

The training mode, battles, and survival are all very fun. But the multiplayer is so fun. Huge battles to little such as supremacy and hero hunt. There is a lot of variety in the multiplayer. Personally I like the game and I do recommend it. Expand

    This game is really fun with awesome graphics. It have cool sounds, Lots of modes and it's pretty easy to play with friends. The only bad thing is that it has a bit lack of content. I also has a season pass with four expansion and the first expansion is great! I really like this game

    Even though battlefront has no campaign, the game still has amazing multiplayer that manages to be really fun. The graphics are absolutely stunning to look at, and the sound design would be perfect is it wasn't for the bad voice acting. The gameplay is just right for this game, and the maps are pretty good. Overall, I still have a fun time playing this game.

    This Star Wars Battlefront game is amazing lots of people say its a money grab.Its not. It has a tonne of maps a tonne of gamemodes and a single player training and the graphics are outstanding- and the sounds too.

    El mejor juego de Star Wars que he jugado. Es un shotter muy entretenido y cuando lo juegan dos jugadores mejora aun más. Pero los modos de juego son muy limitados y la campaña brilla por su ausencia

    Battlefront is one of my favorite video games. Although I was kind of mad at EA for making the dlc maps unavailable to people who can't afford Xbox gold every month of the year, this game had stunning graphics, sound effects ,heroes and more. Although I was mad that there was no single player campaign in battlefront at least EA is doing a single player campaign for battlefront 2.

    This game has problems for sure but what is gets right blows its wrongs out to the water. The graphics, mechanics, maps, and weapons are all nothing but amazing. The multiplayer aspect, which is the only aspect, easily has become one of my favorite multiplayer games to play. The price for what you get though is far to high and the game would have flourished with a campaign as smooth as theThis game has problems for sure but what is gets right blows its wrongs out to the water.

    I don't get it! why are people complaining so much about this game? it's awesome! i've had it for 3 years and still love it! the only thing it needs is a campaign mode. that is the only thing keeping it from reaching true mastery!

    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]
