    I can appreciate that they made this game for younger audiences, which doesn't mean they should pull all the depth from the game as well! That should only mean removing most of the blood and cursing, (right?) which is FINE!

That should only mean removing most of the blood and cursing, (right?) which is FINE! Since reading some of the reviews, I cannot help but notice many user reviews giving unnecessarily high praise to this game, and I believe at some point a blithering fool somewhere mentioned that you cannot compare this title to the games that came before it...? Yes, you CAN and SHOULD compare it to the originals, or any good game for that matter, because they did it RIGHT. Just because something is on next-gen hardware, why would you not compare it to its predecessor?

    I remember Star Ware Battlefront 2 for the PlayStation 2, and as a decade later follow up to that game, I am not seeing any innovation whatsoever. In fact, I am so disappointed by the mistakes with this game that I decided to write a review of it.

    So, first off, I have a bias toward EA, so if that is a factor for you, go ahead and skip this review. Electronic Arts no longer cares what you want. You know what they do care about? They care about money. They don't give one red cent about you or your experience except for what you might say about their game that might reduce sales. Unless you are a professional blogger or have a popular YouTube channel, they could care less about you, me, or our opinions. Here we go:

    Plot: cannot really muck with this since it's LucasFilm's property (now Disney), but I am sure they (EA) would have found a way had there been an opportunity.

    Voice acting: this is not terrible. Darth Vader was my only real complaint. He sounds like some white guy who is upset that someone ate his cereal. He does not have the deep, rich voice of James Earl Jones to be sure. I noticed a few other slight disappointments but nothing huge.

    Sound: The lasers shooting, and explosions galore have great sound quality, and the team did a magnificent job of portraying the Star Wars vehicles and environments.

    Gameplay: So, this is where it all works, or it doesn't. After playing for several hours yesterday, I hate it less than initially expected, but even sardonic praise is better than what I would have said before the time I spent with it last night. The tutorials were adequate but not fun, which is a segue into the whole experience. The only portion of the game that offers any fun is the multiplayer aspects, even if they are sub-par. I thought that DICE worked on this project, so where were they when it came to laying out the controls and gameplay? How many shooters are under your belt?? The controls do not utilize the full feature-set offered by the DualShock 4 controller by any stretch of the imagination. Also, I would like to know who the brainchild was behind the cards power-ups. That was criminal to do, for the sake of what... innovation? That was the best EA and DICE could produce was it?

    Graphics: Magnificent graphics for a terribly mediocre follow-up to one of the greatest sagas of all time.

    I should say thank you to EA and to DICE for ruining one of the most anticipated games for me. You both should be commended for your stupidity, and the fanboys are clearly right there on the bandwagon with you, dishing out nines and tens like poorly-executed blowjobs. If it wasn't for the brainless masses, we might still receive games worth playing from huge studios like EA.

    If you want a good game, try Fallout 4. It might have some bugs, but at least it is exhilarating to play and innovate utilizing ideas from its predecessor! Go figure.    … Expand

    Run to find people for 10 seconds. Die in half a second to people who have much better equipment than you.. no balance in who you are matched with. NO way a casual gamer could enjoy this.

    Was very disappointed about this game one solo map no campaign at all I am very angry this had only online only battles and nothing else I was expecting a story mode but no I got a crappy dumb online battles against other players boo the only thing that is awesome is the movie scenes and the look of the vehicles and the world also the sound FX is perfect just like I remember

    There's not much to say here. The same as the second part, only without content. Online is practically dead, despite working servers and good graphics. It seems to me that this game is one big scam that sold the same game twice, only one had content, and this one was cut out.

    Overall, it was fun to play, but there is no plot, just a couple of weak rambling missions. And so is    There's not much to say here. The same as the second part, only without content.

It looks and feels great, but the lack of depth and content is what really hurts it. Those wanting a worthy reboot of Pandemic's "Battlefront" will be sorely disappointed. It's as if EA wanted to capitalize on the hype of "The Force Awakens" without putting a serious effort into it. That being said, the game is enjoyable on a basic level. I would rate it with a 7.2 out of 10.… Expand

    This game got a lot of hate but I found it tons of fun. Of course, it is missing some things like a campaign and continual updates, but otherwise the multiplayer plays really nicely. My favorite game mode is Cargo, and I must have played a hundred hours of it. I just love the atmosphere, gunplay, and abilities in this game. Much better than its sequel IMO.

    Bad, bad, bad. Only 4 maps. Missing content, no Single Player missions ... For more content they are looking for a season pass. EA-bad job. Only the graphics look good.

    Loše, loše, loše. Samo 4 mape. Nedostaje sadržaj, nema Single Player misija... Za više sadržaja traže season pass. EA-loš posao. Jedino grafika izgleda dobro.

    It feels more like a playable teaser for a game than a full game. There simply isn't enough content to justify it's $60 price tag. From the lack of a singleplayer to a very limited multiplayer mode, the game feels extremely bare bones. It's a shame because it looks, sounds, and feels amazing! It's all squandered by a lack of anything to do with these amazing elements.

    Game is complete trash and a rip off. Not even worth your time. Nobody plays the season pass, which was $50. The weapons are extremely unbalanced and spawn points are terrible. The enemy team can get behind your spawn and just snipe you. Not to mention the jetpack which allow players on top of the map with unlimited sniper shots.

This gives you a huge disadvantage from loss of points and losing a spawn point. The maps are just chokepoint after chokepoint . Hero battles are trash and clumsy. There are not that many modes and people only play walker assault on same 4-6 map rotation.

    The game looked and played like a Star Wars movie except for the key part of well a reason for everything happening. FIrst person shooters are a dime a dozen and the best seem to find a way to be better ... this just had Star Wars trappings , a very very shiny set of them. But in the end it was not enough for me to want to spend hours in a galaxy far far away.

    Старый-новый Battlefront явно не делался на коленке и задачу с покорением сердец фанов вселенной ЗВ выполнил на ура! Вот только те кто покупал именно ИГРУ, а не помотивщину, по сути остались не у дел. Тут нет ничего, что могло бы приобщить именно рядового геймера и сам мир SW, ведь кроме как поностальгировать игра ничего не предлагает. Вместо одиночки, испытания на скил на пару с другом? Сочная картинка, которой в пылу творящегося на мультиплеерных картах хаоса, просто некогда насладиться? Или возможность настучать (НЕ РАСКРОМСАТЬ) светящейся битой (НЕ МЕЧОМ) противникам по шапке? Я фанат SW , но ко всему прочему я ещё и геймер, который прекрасно понимает, что на одном фане далекой далёкой галактики на тысячалетнем соколе не улететь! Я рад, что SWB от DICE не имеет цифры III и огорчён, что в этом названии не присутсвует словосочетание starter pack. Но даже после всех вышедших допов, чаша весов склоняется к слову ПОМОТИВЩИНА, а не к слову игра. SWB - фановая пострелушка и не больше!

    Genuinely one of the worst, most boring and feeble games I've ever played. Thank God I got it on EA Access. No campaign. Simple and boring customisation. UI problems everywhere. Can't understand any of the menus. Bad gameplay. Bad sound. Awful flight mechanics. Boring maps with not enough cover. Terrible character movement. Not actually great graphics. I could go on. But it's boring me.

    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]
