    Unless you've got friends willing to pass as potential victims, it's about a day's worth of cheap thrills. But those seeking a suitable multiplayer scrap should find themselves in good shape with this one.

    If you want gritty, realistic combat action, go buy "United Offensive"-if you want the "digital crack" factor that has defined the Battlefield titles, and you dig the Star Wars series, then definitely give this one a try.

    This game is good but not great. The game needed about another 3 to 6 months of development time to get some of the bugs worked out (specifically the AI and the weapons loadouts), but I have a feeling the pressure was on since they timed the game's release with the release of the original trilogy's DVD iteration.

    Everything That Made the Battlefield series a hit, but in the star wars universe! How Cool is that? Awesome game and lots of action duplicating every battle in Star wars. If there is any negative it would be that this game's gameplay is exactly like BF1942 and Vietnam... But if it aint Broke...… Expand

    SW Battlefront is more of the same that Battlefield 1942 and BF Vietnam already have given us. Would be better with a lower price tag, but at $60 or so, it's just not worth it. I went through the single player campaign in about an hour and a half. While it does have a lot of new elements, like good vehicles and jet pack units, it's just another baby step forward in this genre.… Expand
