    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.

    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]
