    Don't listen to the people saying there is no offline stuff. There are 4 offline modes and about 10 unique missions, such as a jet speeder race/battle through Endor. Aerial Dogfights and more. There is a bunch of offline content and tons of unlockables. The game is focused on MP though, and it is amazing. Just don't listen to the people who are rating this low.

    Awesome gameplay and stunning visuals. Never before has a game felt so much like actually being inside the Star Wars universe. I'll be playing this one for countless hours. Glad the franchise is back in a big way.

    An exquisitely crafted/artful multiplayer shooter, done in the way that only DICE can. The Star Wars authenticity, the almost mind boggling sound scape, the quintessential DICE gunplay, which is unmatched in my opinion through all their games, and which is utterly unique here in SW:BF...and the gorgeous graphics make this one something special.

The Star Wars authenticity, the almost mind boggling sound scape, the quintessential DICE gunplay, which is unmatched in my opinion through all their games, and which is utterly unique here in SW:BF...and the gorgeous graphics make this one something special. I don't buy shooters of this nature for the campaign. SP, in these games, serves only as a brief diversion in which to get a feel for the weapons, compared to the MP heart of the game. Compare a brief 8 hours put into BF4 campaign compared to 800 hours played in MP mode. 100:1 MP to SP. No brain-er. I'm happy paying full price including season pass for a game I know will deliver, in spades, in the entertainment department. A years worth of fun ahead of me in this amusement park, at least. And now, excuse me.....time to dive back in!… Expand

    Fantastic game for any Star Wars fan, the graphics, sound effects and realism are unbelievable, if you are a Star Wars fan get this game right now, it looks amazing on Xbox One, all game modes are fun, Fighter Squadron is very addicting.. just one more match...very easy to pick up and play while Walker Assault on Endor is one of the best multiplayer experiences that I've experienced on consoles.

    Although many have been negative about lack of content, this game is visually amazing and does offer a lot to those that understand how the game is meant to be played.

This game is based on teamwork and if you play alone it will feel flat. The game truly shines when you and a friend(s) work together to take down a Walker or barely win a match. I think too many reviewers are quick to rip on a game without a campaign. However, many reviewers ripped on Battlefield 4 for having a campaign that was not deep enough. I guess you cannot please everyone.

    This is a great game and one I have waited over 10 years for. Please give this game a chance and play with friends, because that is when a bulk of the fun begins. The replay value with friends will be great as new maps are added. One last comment on the maps, they are amazing and I found myself continuing to find new paths and places to hide and use to my advantage. We have not discovered all the unique gems of the game.

    Finally, lets not under report how stable the launch has been. I played several online games on DAY1 and had ZERO server issues on PS4. When was the last game to launch with such a stable online environment???? COD Black ops III has had multiple server outages and issues that ruined my ability to play online in week one. DICE has done a great job preparing for launch and making one of their best stable games to date!!    … Expand

    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. If you like games like Plants vs. Zombie Garden Warfare then try Star Wars Battlefront too.

    If you ARE a Star Wars fan like me, then this is the game you are looking for. It has by far the best graphics ever made in the Star Wars Universe. It has awesome gameplay, great solo and co-op missions, amazing survival mode and the best multiplayer experience I had in years. Go now and buy it, and may the force be with you all.

    Something everyone is forgetting: Star Wars Battlefront is getting SO MUCH MORE content. Four DLC packs in 2016, with 4 new game modes, 4 new characters, 20 new weapons, and more? I think that's worth the wait. And the Season Pass is pricey, but you get SO MUCH!

The graphics and sound are absolutely amazing. The game play is amazing as well. EA has a bad Reputation and there are a lot of trolls that give it a bad score because they're horrible at the game. Some of the users that rated it under 8 wouldn't know a good game if it slapped them in the face and it's obnoxious. I've played almost all the modes by myself and I love them, can't imagine how fun it'll be with a team. Yes there is no in game chat, in my opinion it's not a bad thing and saves you from having to mute the annoying squeakers etc. when playing FPS I'm always in a party chat so, no in game isn't a big deal to me. DICE kind of made it difficult on themselves when they followed the original trilogies and won't deviate from it to be able to add more content like weapons etc. Do yourself a favor and don't listen to the obvious trolls rating this low. To the trolls, it's not the game that sucks, it's you. Buy this game if you want endless hours of fun!!!!… Expand

    A must for any Star Wars fan. The locations really draw you into the universe. If you aren't big on first person shooters SWBF has other things to enjoy with vehicles and solo missions. No campaign, however the training missions help to hone your skills for multiplayer.

The game is fast and knowing what equipment to utilizes will be key in keeping you alive when you get into close combat. The big maps really leave you feeling like you are in a laser fight between the Empire and the Rebel Scum. I will say that I do agree with some of the reviews stating things about the price point on this game and most AAA games of resent. I knew going into SWBF I would be very satisfied BECAUSE of the listening, however I more then get get and agree with the argument that EA is raking me over the coals for a extra levels later that should have shipped with the game at launch.… Expand

    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.

    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.    … Expand

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

    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]
