Star Wars Battlefront is a first- and third-person shooter set in the fictional universe of the original Star Wars trilogy, and a reboot of the Battlefront series. Players fight as Rebel Alliance or Imperial soldiers across planets such as Hoth, Endor, and Tatooine, using a mix of infantry combat, ground and air vehicles, and unlockable "hero" characters drawn from the films. The game focuses on multiplayer across a range of objective-based modes, and also includes cooperative and solo missions that can be played offline.
Star Wars: Battlefront is fun. It's a great Star Wars game. What I can't tell you right now, however, is if it has any longevity. Right now, the lack of map variety could mean that you get sick of the game faster than you would otherwise, and EA dividing the community in the future with paid DLC planets may not help the problem.
Still, no other game...
Battlefront's multiplayer-centric action is stylish and refreshingly simple, although it can feel more stunted than streamlined.
It's a fun multiplayer take on star Wars despite repetition and a small number of locations.
While the destructive potential of weapons and cards alike in some cases increases as you level up, it's much more about finding the ones you like best rather than having a de facto edge. Sadly, this in turn means that unlocks can be quite underwhelming, especially as weapons are all bound to obey the movies' pew-pew and dead behaviour. A new pistol...
Fast, immediate, spectacular, solid. Star Wars Battlefront is the "casual" multiplayer shooter "casual" everyone expected. And basically this is also its greatest limitation.
