  1. Game-play for Star Wars: Battlefront, although not quite as polished as I’d like to see it, is a gaming experience that is rivaled by few in its genre, especially when it comes to Xbox Live. There is just so much to do in this game, it’s hard to know where to start.
  2. A must have for fans of the films and a great multiplayer game for shooter fans as well. Battlefront does suffer a few design flaws that include a weak single-player section, poor AI at times, and a lack of an underlying continuity between battles.

    While it offers these amazing spectacles, thrilling battles, and remains a great account of what Star Wars battles must have felt like, there simply isn't enough content to keep the game going for months or years after its release.
  4. 72
    A decidedly average Star Wars game that is extremely fun as a rental, but wears thin with repeated play.

    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. Expand

    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 weapons. 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
