    This is the first game in star wars that you can play the best battles you normally play games that are about a jedi and its invincible in this one you really probe your self fighting one army againts another.

    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...

    So the single player isn't groundbreaking...big whoop. If you want a fantastic multiplayer experience and are bored with Battlefield, then go for this. The difficulty no way poses any serious challenge but the patches available now rectify it. If you are a Star Wars fan and love Battlefield,this is THE game to get!

    Everything you could want in a game, especially starwars. A lot of work went into this game, you won't be disappointed!

    Whoever said this game sucks, knows nothing about what makes a good game. This is a great game, and if your a SW fan like me, it's a 10.

    Terrible connection issues. Disgustingly animated characters. Laggy gameplay. Its like a 'my first FPS' Pretty graphics is the only positive comment I am able to make. Someone should lose their job over this one, but I fear the cash-cow will continue to be milked.

    Very refreshing shooter and if you dig star wars like I do, you'll not regret spending your hard-earned money on this game! A lot of ppl say its feels a bit like the battlefield games, I never played any of those though i'm a great fan of UT2004.

    Excellent game but a limited life span, control configuration can be a nightmare - did there really need to be soooo many controls??? surley Left, Right, Forward, Back and FIRE would have been sufficent?. However alll in all one of the best shoot em up's ive played.

    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.

    It's a great game for star wars fabs or not good game play but bad single player, but why would you want to play alone in a game called battlefront anyway.

    A really great introduction to the world of Star Wars, and despite not being as sophisticated as other current Star Wars games, it was certainly exciting and fun to play. The only let-down for me was the lack of 2-player multiplayer.

    mixed ideal of maps, and a boring sp part, but a good co-op to it, creativity was taken a bit further, but due to a seemingly low bugget unlike most fps games, it did way better... it wasnt jam packed it gave us everything we needed to actually play... fun-10, gameplay-8, upgradability-10, story-- really no story to it, lasting gameplay- 9.... this game was better than its sequel even though i acidently rated swbf2 a 10 lolzzz not my fault i forget to change the rating bar Expand

  1. But once you take it online and play team versus team the fun factor really kicks in. AT-ATs shaking the ground, Ties and X-Wings battling it out in the air and the sounds of explosions and blaster fire all around you, any real Star Wars fans doesn't stand a chance at putting this game down.
  2. Battlefront gives fans a perfectly good way to act out their fantasies of being a grunt in either of hte series' wars. [Holiday 2004, p.82]
  3. 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.
