    Not worth to pay that much for that little content. Gameplay is ok but boring after a few hours because of no diversion. There is no campaign, no space fights and every map feels similar. Thank you EA! Again....

    do you like games that have heaps of bugs?
    do you like games that have very little content on release?
    do you like games that will force you to buy DLC in the future just so you can spend more time on it?
    do you like games that are way to easy?
    No you don't, star wars battlefront is a **** game that EA has over hyped and over priced, it is not worth your money.

It brings you to the frontline with stunning graphics and you feel like you are part of the movie. The game is easy to access so if you are not that good at shooter it is still fun.

    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.    … Expand

    Haters gonna hate!

    All the gamers that gave this game a 0 to 5 are just whining little baby's, that just didn't got the content a game from 2005 had. First of all you have to compare the content the game have (as a multiplayer game) next to other games that are release in the last 2 years. The game is good for his generation, has great visuals, a perfect multiplayer experience and    Haters gonna hate!

    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.

    Garbage. For real. And now they're trying to pay people to say they like this game. People please, Show EA that giving half of a game and then trying to make you pay $110 for the full game is a crap strategy. For the sake of Star Wars and wallets everywhere, please.

    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.

    One of the biggest disappointing games of the YEAR. No way near the £50 of what it is, at the most it is worth £25. The game is truly Battlefront... but wait! It's now in Star Wars!

This is not the BattlefrontOne of the biggest disappointing games of the YEAR. No way near the £50 of what it is, at the most it is worth £25. The game is truly Battlefront... but wait! It's now in Star Wars! With a disgustingly low number of multiplayer game modes, 9 by the way, and something like 10 maps, you will easily get bored after a couple of games, even on the decent game modes. This is not the Battlefront fans fell in love with in the past. It's no where near what i used to be. The freedom of choosing from a class system in Battlefront 1 and 2 is now gone. So no, you can't choose to be an Engineer, or a sniper, or a wookie. You just have to stick put with the standard infantry until you can buy a 'shotgun' or a 'sniper'.

    One of the most disappointing aspects of the game is, as said above, the content. NO CAMPAIGN which is ridiculously poor. This game is literally a multiplayer game, with 'Missions' being the only way to play co-op with a friend on either survival, or a simple deathmatch or hero one. Terribly poor from EA. One of the best features of previous battlefronts WAS TO PLAY WITH A FRIEND. But guess what? Now you can hardly do that. No f****** option for a custom game or even a simple skirmish! What the hell is up with that?! Battlefront 2 was the perfect game. It had skirmishes, it had the hunt mode, the classic Mos Eisely hero battle. The awesome Conquest game mode; going from planet to planet and conquering each one. Nope, there's NONE of this in this game. So, so poor from EA this time.

    The game however does have its good bits. It is still fun to play; with an entertaining shooting system, and random power up tokens which are very fun to use. The graphics are amazing, whether you are standing still, sprinting, or flying around in a TIE fighter. But these aren't exactly what Battlefront fans are looking for. We'd rather enjoy a far greater freedom of game play that is similar to the previous battlefronts, NOT similar to battlefield.

    This game is one of the biggest wastes of money I have ever spent on a game. With only 6 playable heroes available, and only a focus on the sequels and the new Force Awakens film, it's definitely NOT worth buying. What really p***** me off is the fact that EA say, "oh don't worry, there's much more! Just wait for the 4 expansion packs coming out!" oh okay, let me just pay even MORE money for content which should ALREADY BE THERE. Ridiculous from EA. Yet again their extortionate character has come out completely. It's ruined the battlefront franchise completely. It's simply not good enough.    … Expand

The voice-acting is also cheesy, and the only thing i really enjoyed was the coop, but the "story" was really weak.

    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.

    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.

Pay the 70$ on origin, that way you can ask for your money back once you realize how terrible this game is, and hey if you like it, they deserve the 70$ anyway, don't be so cheap.

    Maps are so lopsided its not even funny. Its got some of the weirdest design choices in it, like how maps don't randomly rotate, or you never seem to play the same map from the other side. I was dumbfounded on my 5th round playing the forest map as imperials. Just waiting for my chance to play with the cheap rebellion skins and wreck havoc with my easy to hide body and Jawa blaster, but that never happened. The game just rotates the same sides on the same maps over and over. This leads to a lot of people just leaving the game if they end up on the "wrong side" whichever they think that is anyway.

    There's also no community building in this game either. Between games, there's no chatting allowed, have to watch the same EXP bar animations over, and over again. No cards to choose this round? Well just sit in silence for about 30 seconds. What- you wanna chat? CHATTING IS ONLY FOR CONSENTING FRIENDS! This isn't a game to make friends in, just play with them.

    Choosing what to play also seems so dull, there's no interesting game mashups that would vary up the map selection in any way. If you start one game of walker assault, that's all you'll be playing until you decide otherwise.

    Then there's these ridiculous things like, maybe half your team leaves a game, well that doesn't matter, lets just keep going see what happens... Oh, a new map? Well you played that last one with 2 to 1 odds, lets just leave it that way, maybe it'll grow on you? 2/3rds of the players are having a blast if you hadn't noticed! Then there's spawning, you have no choice in the matter, oh an AT-ST is right there, just shooting the very ground you have to spawn on? Tough! Spawn on your partner! Oh he's pointing a gun at something? NO DICE, he's in combat and spawning on him would be unrealistic! Lastly- at least what comes to mind, the re-spawn menu is just broken, it requires you to usually mouse away from clicking the respawn button right away, but sometimes that's not enough, seriously, I check my hands, choose another, and I still can't click the respawn button. Am I missing something?

    Agh, whatever, not like anyone but vindictive fanboys will read these reviews and down vote them or whatever. My words won't stop people from buying this game. Just throwing my 2 cents into the pile. It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall of the department that is going to handle all the Origin refunds of this game.

    You buy Star Wars Battlefront for its multiplayer game. It might be not as strategic as Battlefront 3 or 4, but it makes a lot of fun. Easy and Quick - for one or two hours playing in the evening. You get real Star Wars atmosphere, especially in Walker Assault.

It's obviously tailored for the new SW movie.

    It's a game based on a old generations classic that tragically was built for kids.

    Ultimately, the kids will love it, star wars fans will try to love it but those who bought the game hoping it would become a good alternative to bfh and bf4, naaah. No way    … Expand

    The biggest flaw about this game isn't that it's nothing like Battlefront 1 or 2, nor is it the overpriced DLC. It isn't even the fact that there's no single player campaign. No...the biggest flaw is FAR worse.

    There are only 4, count 'em, FOUR multiplayer maps on the disc. There are about eight or so variations on these maps, but they are just DIFFERENT PARTS of the 4 larger maps. $60    The biggest flaw about this game isn't that it's nothing like Battlefront 1 or 2, nor is it the overpriced DLC.

    What the heck?! Nothing about this game is similar to the old Battlefront 2. Where are the maps? You're going to make me pay $110 by having to buy the DLC along with the game in order to get one full game that still won't be nearly as good as the two previous Battlefronts?? That's messed up.

I will not buy the DLC and I will not be buying the next Battlefront that comes out unless they bring back everything from the old series. They honestly could have taken Battlefront 2 and brought it into new console graphics and sound and everyone in the world would be happy.

    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]
