    I will say categorically that no Star Wars game looks better than this one, there was tremendous effort put into making it look and sound absolutely incredible. Every twig on Endor, every sun reflection off of Vaders helmet, every stone in Tatooine… all of it looks almost photo-realistic.

    But the reason it scores so low is honestly… and I hate to say this because I wanted to like it so much more than I do… it’s boring.

    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

    A painfully mediocre game with a shiny coat of paint. Barely any content at launch with a $50 season pass, repetitive and bland gameplay, no single player modes, and unbalanced multiplayer to top it all off.

The game is only multiplayer so anyone looking for a single player experience will be disappointed. The multiplayer has 9 game modes, some of witch are very similar but some stand out like: Walker Assault and Supremacy, Walker Assault seems to be the fan favorite. It focuses on rebels trying to bring down walkers and the empire defending them. Player customization is a nice way to keep the game fresh, you can choose your blaster and 3 "Star Cards" that can give you things like a jet pack or sniper rifle but then extremely cheap things like a homing missile that can become frustrating. I do wish they added more Star Cards, some feel totally useless and don't add much to the game. Customization for your character is extremely overpriced,Minimule and only unlocked once you have experienced most of the game. It's awesome hearing your blaster going Pew Pew but I do wish they explained upon them more, after awhile you just use the same gun. Battlefront also has a co-op game-mode where you and 1 friend can work through waves of enimes in the most original idea for a game since Candy Crush.
    Battlefront is extremely fun in small bursts and captures the Star Wars universe very well but I feel like there was lots of wasted potential here. It could have been so much more of a game and if you compare this to the Canceled Battlefront 3 or even 2 (for the PS2)it feels like a lot is missing. Unless you want to buy all the DLC with the game 165$ later....    … Expand

    Pros: Nice graphics and lots of action.
    Cons: very few content, it is like a demo. Probably after all DLCs come out it will be a decent content-wise game, but price-wise the game will end up costing more than 100 USD.

The interface is clunky, there are very limited options to reconfigure the controls and in general the game play would be more specific to a game made in the late 90s. Really surprised by that. Flying is okay but the "maps" for flying encounters are pretty small so you end up flying out of bounds frequently when pursuing a target and then have to double back. Not a lot of content in the game and it gets repetitive quickly. I have had the game for 4 days and am pretty much finished with it. Major disappointment.… Expand

    The several game modes are almost all just slight variations of the same thing, with only Walker Assualt being anything close to entertaining. Even then though how many times can you do the same mission on the paltry selection of maps before it becomes a chore?

    The leveling up system is shallow and only seems to reward time spent playing as opposed to actual skill. And many of the unlockable weapons or items are next to useless, such as the jet pack that allows you to travel all of about 10ft before running out.

    As to the battles, you will find yourself subject to constant cheap deaths, such as being one hit killed by one of the way overpowered hero characters, blown up by almost unavoidable homing missles or unluckily spawning 5ft from a group of enemies.

    It is hard to believe that the 10 year old Battlefront 2 has vastly superior gameplay to this mess.    … 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

    One can argue that in today's gaming culture, the graphics of a particular game may not matter much. That gamers really care about content and reliability. Well, one thing we won't have to worry about in Star Wars Battlefront is the looks.

    From the first battle, I was astounded at how well this game really does in the art department. Every battle field is gorgeous, with scenery that really tugs the eyes and says "look over here!" That being said, the rest of the game isn't so great. Where to start:

    1) The balance of this game is ridiculous. On some maps ( Jundaland ) the Rebels get a clear head start in conquering the first control point. When most of your side can reach it in 2 seconds, it's pretty lopsided. On others, the vehicles of the Empire will always turn the tide of a battle. Calling in multiple Tie Fighters and AT-ST, the Rebels soon find themselves overwhelmed.

    2) Weapon balance is incredibly outrageous. When I can be killed in two shots by a pistol wielding storm trooper from 200 yards away, we know we have a problem. The stats for the weapons (range, damage, cooling power, etc. ) are pretty much useless. I don't know how many times I have been sniped by a pistol, but apparently pistols are basically long range blasters in this game, so yay.

    3) I like the addition of the card system, giving you different hands and so, but it would make much more sense to have one primary weapon and a much less powerful and close range side arm. Instead, if you want a side arm, you have to buy the scout pistol card and take up on of your 3 cards spots. And..

    4) Those card spots are oh so important. Many of them remove the skill needed to shoot someone. A "homing shot?" Like, really? Not much skill in a homing missile that you can use every 10-15 seconds. Also, not that I am a Star Wars expert, but I'm pretty sure that most troops weren't shooting around the battle field in jump packs. Makes the Supremacy mode very annoying.

    5) The other game modes fail to inspire any real fun, and had me always going back to Supremacy and Walker Assault. The various power ups you can pick up help to give each battle a small difference in feel, but after being sliced by Vader, or sniped by Han Solo for the 1000th time, it becomes monotonousness. Almost an inevitability that I will die, again and again, which leads me to....

    6) WHY THE EVERY LIVING F**K WOULD YOU SPAWN ME THERE! Almost every match I am spawned in an incredibly stupid location. Just killed three rebels before you died and feeling good? Well here, how about you spawn in front of 8 rebels, see how you like that! I mean, I have spawned literally in front of the entire enemy army, in front of a blasting AT-ST, and oh RIGHT ON TOP OF A PROXIMITY MINE. My god, how stupid can these developers be?

    I have put 25 hours into this game, which isn't a lot, but I feel it's enough to render a verdict on this game. I want to love it, I really want to love it, but I find myself struggling to even like it. Hopefully, the balancing issues come up and are fixed and in the future this game will get the credit it deserves.

    Maybe then..maybe.    … Expand

This would be effective except for the fact that at some point inside of 0.5 seconds of overheating you can quickly press X to instantly cool your weapon and begin firing again. Do not expect to ever be able to beat someone using this weapon unless you have several squad mates with you. The flight simulator has a similar problem. At some point during the match players can gain control of either the Millennium Falcon or Boba Fett's ship. These ships are near invincible. You can literally be blasting them for several minutes non-stop and they just will not die. Also they seem to be able to shoot missiles at you, even if you are directly behind them.

    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

    This was an immense *immense* disappointment. Truly staggering how short they fell in my expectations.

    What we got was barely a fraction of what we once had with the old games, the entire standalone title of Battlefront is essentially a Battlefield 4 DLC. It's a tacky underwhelming experience and the sensation of playing it for a few hours on release night left me with the exact same sensation as when my bike was stolen.    … Expand

    I enjoyed this very much but I wish the DLC wasn't as expensive and if there were way more maps and a Death Star map otherwise this would be a higher score.

    The good- Amazing graphics, the sounds and feel of the Star Wars universe.

    The Bad- No campaign, only 5 maps, too repetitive.

    I enjoy the game, I wish there was a campaign. It's fun, but gets old.

    Star Wars Battlefront is a great on line player game. The graphics are incredible and the gameplay is fun and exciting. The chance to use all the iconic weapons and vehicles is amazing and is the strong point of this game. The game lacks and earned my rating of 7 was due to no campaign/story mode.

    The premise of the game is great. The execution, failure. There is a reason FPS games do not excel for casual gamers on consoles -- the learning curve for aiming at an opponent. There is a lack of precision which can be overcome by practice. If there were an effective offline mode for this game, then that might make this game better.

If there were an effective offline mode for this game, then that might make this game better. However, your only method of practice thinks that throwing tougher and tougher opponents at you is the way to get better. Instead, it does little short of frustrate you. That leaves you with trying to play online against others -- and by the time you figure out what the objective is, those with more skill at the game have taken you out. I am actually disappointed that I spent my hard earned money on this game. Time to go back and try something else for a while.… Expand

    The only thing that's really great about this game is the graphics, performance and effects, there is literally nothing else that sets this game apart from other shooters or that makes it great. The gameplay has been dumbed down for a casual audience (This game is even more casual than COD). There isn't much depth here either, even with the updates the game isn't much better.

    The worst part about this game is all the content that should have been included at launch is in the season pass. What the ****

    Not a worthy reboot, save your money or buy on sale if less than 30 dollars.    … 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]
