    I don't actually own this game, but my friend does, and may I just say, it is awesome! Even when you're not playing the game properly and are just messing around the battlefield, this game is fun. The maps are amazing and so nostalgic, and the roster of characters is satisfying. This has to be one of the best Star Wars games ever!

    Ok maybe I missed something! Im old enough to have seen the originals at the cinema, but am not a star wars geek. This game is pathetic and to compare it to the mighty Halo is heinous crime. The outcome of battle is not effected by your actions? The battlefields are way too small too make use of the vehicles properly? When sniping you can be shot from miles away by the enemy with standard Ok maybe I missed something! Im old enough to have seen the originals at the cinema, but am not a star wars geek.

Ok so if piloting an AT-AT is your only dream in life then it may appeal but the AI is lame and it is just too easy and unrewarding. The only upside is the wonderful environments. Rent the game have a look around the maps, pilot an AT-AT, ride a Tuctuc ignore battles they will take care of themselves and then return game.… Expand

    It's cool, but it's waaaaay too easy. The AI is simply pathetic. I haven't tried multiplayer (since I don't have XBOX live), but may give it a go as I can imagine it would be a good time. If you don't have XBOX Live, I'd suggest renting/borrowing it.

    Amazing game. Amazing A.I. Amazing graphics. You don't have to be a Star Wars "geek" to enjoy just how good this game is. This game is equal to Halo just try it. It's sad when people don't appreciate a supurb game like Battlefront. Don't trust the whiners that are rating the game low. Just check out the reviews here.

    What can I say? This is simply an amazing game with one major downfall: its way too short!! The pros are that this game recreates the Star Wars universe settings very gorgeously, has the classic soundtrack everyone loves, has awesome multiplayer on XBox Live, and has hours upon hous of replay value.

The pros are that this game recreates the Star Wars universe settings very gorgeously, has the classic soundtrack everyone loves, has awesome multiplayer on XBox Live, and has hours upon hous of replay value. The way you complete a map depends on your preferences and strategies, and its designed in a way that no two battles will ever be the same. However, as no game is perfect, there are some cons: 1. Way too short! There should be twice as many maps. 2. Character animation is a little choppy at times. 3. Squad dynamics AI needs work. and 4. Some of the vehicles control very poorly (for example, the Jedi Starfighter for the Republic). All in all, though, this is a tremendous game, so go buy it now! I'll see you all on Live...… Expand

    I would seriously question any site that scores this game lower than a 910. This is the only game that I would say is as good as Halo with the advantage of online play. Even the controller can be customized (mapped out) the way you like. Graphics, sound and gameplay explode onto the screen. You get the feeling that you are in a Star Wars movie. The game is just that good. Period.

    Now this is a good game. Graphics are very good. Gameplay is sweet. 2 player co-op is pretty cool. This a very deep game. My dream of shooting an ewok have come true......

    Star wars battlefront will own you. the moment you put the cd in the drive of your xbox, you will loose your identity, loose track of time, and loose your mind. for this is one of the few games on xbox where the magic happens. the graphics are beyond anything i have seen, comperable to the likes of ghost recon 2 and halo in some areas. there are around 600 soldiers at one time on screen,Star wars battlefront will own you. the moment you put the cd in the drive of your xbox, you will loose your identity, loose track of time, and loose your mind. for this is one of the few games on xbox where the magic happens. the graphics are beyond anything i have seen, comperable to the likes of ghost recon 2 and halo in some areas. there are around 600 soldiers at one time on screen, 30 plus vehicles to drive and lots of areas for battle. the battles, oh my....no two are ever alike. lets just take the clone wars on geonosis for example...have you seen attack of the clones?...well...you play THAT!....hands down, no compromise. the clone army cargo planes flying over head, blue lasers of clone troopers in the air, geonosian bug like creatures buzzing around shooting green blobs...un-beliveable....simply amazing!!!!. oh, you dont like jar-jar?...well....lets play in naboo as the skinny battle droids and blow gungans into hell!!!....have you seen phantom menace?...yup....you get to live it pal. allright, so you like the classic star wars eh?...let me inroduce to you my little friend...the AT-AT, ebough said. i have been playing games for over 20 years and this game is on my top 3 all time greats. trust me, a reliable stranger....and buy it kid!… Expand

    I'd rank this as the best star wars game ever. the atmosphere and battles are right out of the movies. if it had 4 player split screen, this'd be a 10/10 (2 player split screen only).

    Don't worry too much about complaints about the AI. The atmosphere of this game is fabulous, and there are plenty of challenges.

    This game was great for its time, it made the right multiplayer modes, and had some extra fun features that some games would do today (A.K..A Star wars from EA)

Para empezar es un juego cargado de BUGS, enemigos y vehículos que aparecen de la nada continuamente, el sistema de daños es absurdo, da igual lo bueno que seas, en ocasiones la IA de la consola se vuelve implacable y puedes recibir disparos de los sitios mas inhóspitos frustrando en todo momento la jugabilidad. El control de los vehículos en algunos esta muy conseguido, y sin embargo en otros es completamente desesperante. Se echa en falta un modo historia, y las cinemáticas dobladas al castellano. Sino fuera por estos detalles el juego seria una obra maestra, pero lo mas importante que es la jugabilidad y la IA es caótica y penosa. Pero no todo es malo en el juego, tiene los mejores gráficos y ambientación que puedas encontrar sobre el universo STAR WARS, y la OST original de las películas, pero bajo mi punto de vista los puntos negativos hacen que este juego quede a medio camino.… Expand

    Star Wars Battlefront is essentially action-figure theater on the television screen, and playing online is like inviting your friends over to take part.

    Those accustomed to the adult world of online PC gaming may have reason to sniff at the more streamlined play, but Pandemic has given consoles a whole new genre, pretty much perfectly formed... No game has ever felt quite so much like playing with Star Wars figures. [Nov 2004, p.102]

    It's "Star Wars" with a proven and well-executed game concept. And if that's not enough to persuade you, you're able to murder Ewoks. Enjoy. [Nov 2004, p.120]
