    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.

    The fluid movement of each class is wonderful including the rag doll effect when they have been shot, trampled over or blown up.

    A fantastic game, the more I play, and the more I like it. Sure there is no real single player, but the online game makes up for it.

    With the stunning visuals and audio sections of the game it’s somewhat of a treat for Xbox gamers to witness. Sadly, Battlefront is hurt greatly because of a lack of effort put into the game’s AI and overall single player production.

    Although there is not much substance to the single player game, it's fun for a while and hearkens back to the days when games didn't have to be too clever or in-depth. It's the online aspect that most people are going to be drawn to, which is immensely satisfying, even with the lag and communicator issues.

    Hopefully LucasArts will address the latency issue which would vastly improve the overall experience. As it stands if you are a fan of Star Wars you should pick this up without hesitation.

    The single player mode gets boring very quickly, the game's frame rate needs improvement, and it's often times difficult to communicate strategies with other players.

    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,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

    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 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
