The first two hours of gameplay are fantastic. the graphics are great, the sounds are some of the best in any game I have played in the past 10 years, but that is about it. The gameplay is extremely repetitive and has zero depth. After playing for a couple hours I had experienced everything. Not only that, but I was tired of experiencing the same things over and over again. The lack of a fantastic online experience mixed with no campaign or story mode to mix things up makes this game one of the shallowest that I have ever purchased. The skill level required to accomplish anything is set for 8 year olds. The tutorials are a joke, because nothing new is in this game that has not been in a thousand games before.

    To go with the crappy game play is a host of bugs. Most notably is the constant server interruptions. During 3/5 games it will start to lag. EA was nice enough to include a warning that states that their own game is unplayable because their servers are messing up. Why not work on improving your servers instead of creating a message to describe why your game sucks?    … Expand

    While I appreciate the 3 maps per game mode I feel like instead of mining for more money out of people you could have just released a quality game with more content/maps. Dice and EA at it again. The game looks, and feels wonderful. That said, there next to nothing that goes along with the $60 price tag.

So i pretty much just started playing the game but I'm already starting to get bored of it. While i thought this game cant be worse than Titanfall, I'd like to say that it actually is. Titanfall in my taste had too little content but Battlefront is just way too minimal. It's a cool experience, like I said before, but not worth the money for sure. I'd rather recommend you going to these gamecenters where u play all day for some $$$, choose x1 and have fun with Battlefront for one day, and after that you can put a nice green check next to that title    … Expand

    The gameplay doesn't feel even remotely like star wars. If they wanted to create a futuristic shooter with lasers, they didn't need the starwars IP to do it.

    I was bored most of the time playing it. enemies take so many shots to kill. They should take one shot.

    The ship combat is boring and controls like **** Like somebody slapped wings on the brave little toaster.

And once I saw that EA would be publishing and marketing this game I dry-heaved, I honestly do think that this game's emptiness of content is because of EA, they're trying to push this game out the door so quickly to coincide with episode VII, But it's lacking SO MUCH.

    Let's run it down a pro/con list

    - cons

    No galactic conquest

    Lack of a decent class system

    Female storm troopers (excuse me?)

    An eerie sparseness of class content (like in titanfall)

    Not many maps

    flying controls are...jesus...they're horrible, this one bothers me especially because most people are used to the physics and controls in Battlefield, because of the Frostbite engine, but in this game they've retooled the mechanics for flying to make it more user friendly, WHICH IS IRONIC because 99.99999% of the f***ing players are already used to the other controls, and if Battlefront is your first FPS then you should probably get the f*ck of the servers. DICE was like "oh hey you guys like the controls? alright here you g- AHAHHAHA just kidding f*ck you! here's a broken non-userfriendly control scheme, use this s*it, not our problem because we're bathing in money right now"

    Season pass = 39.99!?! excuse me? EA you covetous f*ck get over here!

    Oh and not to mention 5 DLCs, mhmm that's good. didn't realize I was playing COD

    Lack of vehicle combat.

    No space battles? that was the entire reason I bought battlefront 2 in 2005. Oh excuse me, I didn't mean to impune the all knowing omnipotence of EA, you smelly little f**ker

    Imbalance on ATAT assault, the Rebels will lose 70% of the time, it's like Invasion from Halo Reach, where if you were the Spartans you would lose constantly

    No campaign, I really do give a s*it

    cash grab from EA, and milking of Star Wars franchise by EA and Disney. Casual shooter with no substance at all, not worth the goddamn 120$ price for the complete content. selling maps for 50 dollars is ridiculous when the original game itself is boring with no campaign at all.

    Nice, polished graphics, nothing else; Level of complexity is of an poorly made iPad game; Maps are dead and boring; Game play is very poor; Vehicles are uncontrollable; Characters move like turtles; This lasted for maybe 30 minutes for me, before I claimed refund from Origin; Net code is horrible (compensated by equally horrible weapons);

    I mean as a 5$ GC demo it may work, but 70$ for that?

This leaves little to play with (when the game is working) and I couldn't help but feel bored by the whole experience. I must draw comparisons to Battlefronts big competition (Call of Duty & even Battlefield). Both of these games provide an abundance of content (even without paid DLC / season passes) and have a large amount of depth that is required to keep gamers invested. This is clearly a game that was released too early with the hopes of cashing in on the movie. Gamers are left with a bad taste in their mouth and the desire to replay the old Battlefront 2 game instead.… Expand

This game is a perfect example of 'Graphics don't make a game' since in 4k this game looks phenomenal but there's nothing new or unique. There's barely any guns and I believe 6 maps in general, 4 for walker assault and 2 extra for the small maps.

    What went wrong?!
    Anyone could say time constraints but unless EA forced Dice to make this game as it is there is no excuse, no space battles or Conquest was the biggest mistake ever as survival is as **** and repetitive as you'd expect. Had the game had 6 maps or a couple less BUT had the amazing large battles that had both space and land in the same fights as the PSP game did this would be a huge success but no. Why? No seriously why couldn't they do any of it? There is no excuse.

    And the New DLC that adds 16?!?!?!?!?! maps to the game is a disgrace, time constraints? Yeah because they don't already have any of those maps waiting to be released. New Modes as well with the DLC, it seems EA or Dice thought everyone would agree with the Battlefield model except what they forgot is BATTLEFIELD HAS MORE CONTENT.

    Also to add to the Time Constraints argument, there was already a better battlefront game that had full transition to space that was cancelled and then this garbage was made. They could have used that game instead.

    To sum it up, Battlefront is NOT Battlefront 3 and never will be, it's a completely different game and even with its Unbelievable graphics Battlefront 2 is still the better choice or if can get it the PSP battlefront game. Hopefully in a few years Battlefront 2 will come out and it will surpass this game by so much we will forget this was even a game, or hell if out of the blue the cancelled game gets active again and comes out.

    I've played the game about 30 Minutes while countless hours on the beta, what does this mean? The game has nothing unique about it, the walker assault mode is its USP and they flushed it away through the beta.

    ALSO If EA are being the mischievous **** we all know them to be I imagine one of those 2 modes could be space battles which means locking it away behind DLC so more money for them, hell they could have full transitional battles there as well. I don't imagine there's much else they could add so it wouldn't surprise me.

    P.S I don't own this game, i'm an EA access member so I used my trial and didn't pick up my pre-order because of this. I'll wait for the game to be added to the vault which probably won't be long since EA did the same with Hardline when people didn't like that.    … Expand

    The only thing going for this game is Graphics & Sound, which are amazing. But since this is a GAME and not a movie the score is fair. A straight 0, because asking for 60 bucks for 25% of a game is an insult and asking another 50 for another 25% is mocking gamers. Goodbye EA , this one hit the nail in the coffin.

They worked lines from the movie into other characters' dialogue to the point where it sounds like the people in the game saw Star Wars recently and are reciting lines to each other like an inside joke, while fighting Star Wars battles. "We've captured the point. ALL TOO EASY!" Han Solo recites lines we've heard in a dozen other games, but only heard once in the movies. The game wasn't written to fit in within the SW movies, it was assembled verbatim from them. Worse, it was assembled from the Star Wars movies we've seen a hundred times. Conveniently rushed to shelves in time to see a new one hit theaters in a few weeks, but we don't see any of that one here.

    The problem is that if you were to strip away the Star Wars theme from these battles and reskin it with pretty much anything else, the game is not good. Sure, it feels like the originals, but they're a decade old. There's no excuse for this game to be the least bit shallow in terms of content, but there it is. You're running around looking for glowing tokens like Crash Bandicoot looking for fruit.

    It comes down to people who are happy with what we were handed here, and the people who see what this could have been. It could have expanded on things like Jedi Knight or KOTOR, could have had gameplay options and freedom like the Arkham games did for Batman (tell me using the grapple hoist line Luke used to grenade the AT-AT, but free to use anywhere creatively wouldn't have been amazing) but instead we got the standard EA movie tie-in treatment.    … Expand

    There is a huge lack of content, and the game play just isn't that fun. Lots of people are saying that it's just a Battlefield re-skin, but sadly the game would be better if it was. It feels as if it wants to be both Battlefield and Battlefront, and because of that it fails at being either.

    + Graphics and sound: Beautiful, very immersive

    + Power ups: These drop at random locations and add strategic value to the game. They can be anything from cannons, turrets and droids to orbital strikes, rocket launchers and squad shields. I actually liked it. You also have to find these power ups to become a hero/villain or to get into an AT-AT, AT-ST, A-wing, X-wing, etc. You get the picture.

    + Scope: Playing on Hoth, while an air battle is being waged above you, explosions everywhere, 39 other players on the map with you. Simply awesome feeling for a Star Wars fan.

    + Star cards: Considering all that I didn't like about the simplicity of this game (see below), I liked the cards system, where you could pick 3 abilities/equipments, e.g. shield, grenades, sniper rifle, jump pack, etc., and craft your own deck.

    - Lack of content: Only 4 maps. That's 4. 4 maps. Still can't believe it. More maps coming though, if you have the cash atop the 60 bucks you already payed. 16 additional maps planned as DLC? I get that developers and publishers need to make money, but when you ship the game with 4 maps and plan to add 16 more (+300%), how is that a legitimate DLC policy? How can you claim that this is supposed to be a standalone game? Also, only 11 weapons, the handling of which was so similar that it seemed there were even less than 11.

    - Game modes: Only a few. Don't look at the numbers, all of them were basically slight variations of Walker Assault and Blast. Simply adding Luke, Lea and Solo to Blast suddenly makes it a new mode? I don't think so. I expected more diversity from a multiplayer-only game.

    - Aircraft control: I don't like it at all. You maneuver with the cursor and use WASD to adjust your speed. It seems so counter-intuitive to me. Could you imagine steering your car with your cursor in racing games?

    - Single player: Practically non-existent. In my opinion, there is zero replay value to it.

    - Simplicity: There is not a lot of depth to this shooter. Again, it's multiplayer-only, so I think some depth can be legitimately expected.

    You may notice that I wrote in past tense. That's because I returned it after 4 hrs of playing it. They are addressing some of these issues with future, payed DLC? This game is already too expensive (60 bucks) for what it's delivering, but the DLC policy is the icing on the cake. Drop it by 50% and I may consider buying it. To me, this seems like they prioritized looks over substance and hijacked the experience by charging it +100% what it's actually worth gameplay- and content-wise.    … Expand

I haven't boughten a game from EA in at least 5 years and this game affirmed I should avoid EA games.

    They have blatantly released half a game, this Battlefront should have shipped with a Full Campaign mode with a story that ties in to the New Movie. It's a blatant rip-off that it doesn't include it. Not to mention the fact that his Star Wars is completely based on the original trilogy, there is nothing in the entire game from the New Film which makes no sense because it's launch is coinciding (within less than one month) with the new film.

    This is typical Lazy, Anti-Consumer EA at work. I love Star Wars and its fun to enjoy the Nostalgia for a moment, but they have so grossly left out the campaign, a story that ties in to the movie, and failed to include any characters, visuals or environments from the new film that it's hard to even give this game a 4/10.

    Graphically: This is one of the best FPS I have ever seen and from the standpoint of the Art Design, it truly looks amazing. It feels like you are in the Original Trilogy, amazing art in this game. I give the graphics and visuals a 10/10.

    Gameplay: This is basically Battlefield with a Star Wars skin. This really feels like a $20 DLC pack their pawning off as a $60 game and then trying to get you to pay $50 for DLC on top of that. Not to mention the DLC is so sleazy, they've clearly bareboned this game and plan on charging the absolute maximum for content that needed to be included in the regular launch version.

    In my opinion all FPS nowadays need to have a Campaign/Story mode. A Multiplayer mode with excellent Matchmaking. And a Horde mode where you can relax and fight PvE style.
    Also I think it should include; Custom Games, Theatre for watching your gameplay and quality Stat Tracking. This game Basically gives you 1/2 of a PVP mode with terrible Matchmaking playlists. It follows the COD style where you simply pick a gametype, so 90% of players are in either Team Deathmatch or One objective gametype and the entire rest of the playlists have 0 population.

    TL;DR, Summary, Verdict: This is typical EA, they sell you half a multiplayer, basically a Star Wars themed DLC for Battlefield and pawn it off as a Full game. This game left a really bad taste in my mouth and re-affirmed that I should avoid EA games. Not impressed. Also their is 0-relation to the New Star War movie coming out in 2 weeks. Everything in the game is based on the Original Trilogy there is nothing related to the New Movie shockingly.    … Expand

    Great Graphics, thats all. We were waitting for the complete game, this is a JOKE, only 4 big maps... No campaign. Maybe in one year with a special edition with all DLC this game will be playable. But it is not now.

    Its a game worth renting, but that is basically it... visuals and sounds are spectacular no one can deny that, the work they put into these two aspects of the game cannot be denied and to be fair it should be praised.
    But from there it just plunges downhill, its lacks content and gets boring very quickly four maps its simply not enough specially when you know from day one that there is    Its a game worth renting, but that is basically it... visuals and sounds are spectacular no one can deny that, the work they put into these two aspects of the game cannot be denied and to be fair it should be praised.
    But from there it just plunges downhill, its lacks content and gets boring very quickly four maps its simply not enough specially when you know from day one that there is going to be at least 16 more maps and probably more weapon packs, but if you pay 50 euros more...
    The gameplay is just average a bit too simple and the power ups thing its good and makes sense for heroes or starfighters, but I find it annoying for land vehicles (the very few there are) and unnecessary.
    To see why I rented it but didnt biy it is simple I asked myself a question is this a solid game on its own without dlc, yes or no? making dlc an optional choice if you have the cash. Answer it is not. The DLC will not be Add-ons they will be a sort of game-life-support thing to keep people playing it, and such a game its not worth 110 f****g euros.    … Expand

    There has been no game I have looked more forward to seeing on the new generation of consoles than a Battlefront sequel. I really enjoyed BF2, and so perhaps my expectations were too high. The game looks great and sounds great. It's just no fun to play. I feel like I am moving through the missions just to get to the end - I'm not enjoying it.

I feel like I am moving through the missions just to get to the end - I'm not enjoying it. At one point I even said out loud, "C'mon, just let this be over." It feels like the first Call of Duty game for the previous-gen consoles, but less fun. After about 1.5 hours playing I don't want to play any more. Actually, I didn't want to play anymore after about 20 minutes, but I just thought it might be a slow starter. It is, it just didn't get any better. Ugh. I just blew $60 on a game I hate and I bought it electronically, so I can't even sell it or trade it in at [---retailer--] for credit.… Expand

    My problems with this game;

    -The SW universe is a big one, EA/DICE managed to ignore 99% of it and only include a fraction of the OT locations (Hoth, Tatooine etc). -No classes. I don't know what it is about EA/DICE, it could be sheer laziness or perhaps a pursuit of making everyone even on the battlefield that they neglect classes making for very dull game play. One of the great    My problems with this game;

    -No classes. I don't know what it is about EA/DICE, it could be sheer laziness or perhaps a pursuit of making everyone even on the battlefield that they neglect classes making for very dull game play. One of the great things of SWBF I&II is that each class had its own pros/cons meaning you had to work together as a TEAM in order to succeed. Now they have been replaced with cards which are abysmal.

    No AI - really was the biggest failure of this game. EA's ego is that great they decided to remove bots and turn battlefront into another run of the mill competitive shooter. Bot support was the CORNERSTONE which made the original titles great. If you didn't play online, you could just create a game with bots and have a blast.

    Audio - The sounds of the blasters and vehicles may be good but there's one thing I can’t stand. And that’s the 'Murica' dialogue EA infuses into every shooter it makes. They really do like to glorify war and SWBF is no different. You can't go 2 seconds without hearing someone shouting 'IM PINNED DOWN OVER HERE!' or 'MAN DOWN!'/'SUPPRESSING FIRE!’ It’s all just too serious and doesn't fit in with the star wars universe.

    Vehicles - You can no longer just hope into a vehicle, they are power ups. Mind boggling how this ever made it past the drawing board.

    Heroes - Not as many heroes as its predecessors.

    No prequel content - Even if you hated the prequels you can't argue they gave us more vehicles/soldiers/planets to play with. EA cutting them from this game (probably to release as DLC) was woefully wrong to do so.

    I could go on past the 5000 character max with everything that is wrong with this game. But I'm sure you've all been saturated with the pretty visuals / expensive DLC etc people have been noting about. At the end of the day, Battlefront I & II which came out over a decade ago are still more enjoyable than this piece of crap. I've said it before and ill say it again, EA obtaining the IP to SWBF was THE worst thing that could have happened to this series. No more than ever I really do feel for the free radical staff that had their product cancelled during development. It would have been far superior to this.    … Expand

    The issue is that this game plays it safe and doesn't offer anything new in its core shooting gameplay. It ignores progress made in the genre and that's most upsetting. Casual players will have a blast but it really isn't for the rest of us in my opinion.

    Multiplayer shooter designed primarily for Star Wars fans. Simpler than its genre competitors it is, but it’s open to players of all kinds - at the same time it is not for everyone because of that “anyone can play” approach. [Issue #259]

    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]
