Star Wars Battlefront Reviews
Authenticity comes at a price—Star Wars: Battlefront is beautiful but makes too many mistakes when it comes to maps, balancing and spawning. These issues cause anger, and anger leads to hate.
An entertaining game for fans and non-fans alike, but one that suffers from a lack of content and progress incentives. You won't be spending much time with it, but for the occasional game it's a good choice.

Yes, so this is an obvious money grab. But at times, you just can't help it. Humming all-too-familiar John Williams' themes and flying an X-Wing and blasting TIE Fighters out of the sky is as fun as ever. You are probably going to buy this game even if I warned you to think twice, because, like me, you're probably too much of a fan to give a shit what anybody else thinks. And believe me, there is some Star Wars magic here and I absolutely loved the top-notch design and art direction that stays true to the movies. It can also be hilariously fun, especially when you are Luke Skywalker or Palpatine and you chop down or electrocute waves of players. I think that even if you're not a Star Wars fan, this game can be an awesome ride, but the question is: for how long? Judging by how much content is on offer, probably not for long. It's sad really, but that's how it is.
Star Wars Battlefront delivers a great experience for any fan of the series.
If you want an experience that offers the closest you'll get to be being part of the original movie trilogy then this is it, but If you're looking for something more in-depth and offers longevity similar to Battlefield then your looking in the alderaan places.
While not without its problems, "Star Wars: Battlefront" delivers on most of the potential fans of the series were hoping for. The majority of its gamemodes are exciting and will have you talking about them the next day, while aesthetically, it utterly hits the nail on the head. You feel as though you are in the Original Trilogy. And with the Battle of Jakku and more free modes and maps, along with the planned DLC, "Star Wars: Battlefront" will not be leaving my disk tray anytime soon.
Star Wars Battlefront may not be perfect, but it's still better than trade negotiations.
The reboot of 'Star Wars Battlefront' rises above the mediocre level of many licensed games to be something quite enjoyable. But as I play, and the energy level slowly wanes, I can't help the feeling that it could have been more. Like 'Evolve' and 'Titanfall' before it, 'Battlefront' has a great premise and strong initial gameplay, but a short honeymoon period.
Star Wars Battlefront is a fun experience – with a solid progression system and a variety of game modes (some better than the others.) There's not much content, but it's still a game that will keep you drawn in long enough to unlock some of Battlefront's better equipment that makes map traversal much easier. It's a tough nut to crack, and forgiving some of the obvious flaws it has, I think I'll be playing Battlefront for a while.
From the wail of a TIE Fighter and the humming of a lightsaber, to the plastic Stormtrooper crotches and Leia's crown braids, everything looks and sounds fantastic. Unfortunately, this wonderful level of detail and immersion offered in Star Wars Battlefront, comes to a screeching halt once it is realised that this is just a half-done, money-grabbing piece of style-over-substance, which is insanely entertaining in short bursts, yet lacks the required depth or amount of content that would make gamers keep coming back for more.
For all its polish, it brand-name polish, it lacks that creative energy found in building battles from faded toys and dumb ideas. Battlefront imposes limits and gates on an expansive universe, reigning in instead of expanding the possible ways to become part of that world. As such, the game remains mercenary in its goal of selling an experience solely on those feelings we have about that galaxy far, far away. Instead of offering a chance to inhabit that space, Battlefront only shows us Star Wars at a distance, perfectly preserved in small pocket dioramas tucked away behind the rose-tinted glass of a toy shop window.
A solid multiplayer shooter that ticks all those nostalgic boxes for fans of the original trilogy. The graphics and audio design are excellent throughout and the net code has performed without fault. However, the lack of a proper offline mode and small number of multiplayer maps is frustrating given the opportunistic Season Pass content on the horizon.
While it doesn't quite reach its full potential, Star Wars: Battlefront harnesses the power of the Force to make for a multiplayer experience that's more concerned with fun and authenticity than deep mechanics and impeccable balance. DICE has absolutely knocked the presentation out of the park, making you feel like you're smack dab in the middle of your favorite action scenes from the classic Star Wars film trilogy. For many Star Wars enthusiasts, that's going to be more than enough to justify the price of admission. For everyone else, however, a limited amount of content and a few missteps will potentially diminish long-term appeal. This is a strong return for the Battlefront moniker, but there's much room for improvement.
Star Wars Battlefront is fun, but it doesn't take long for that fun to be reduced to monotony. Spawn, shoot, die, repeat. It would have also been nice to have a stronger offline component to the game. Even if it was something as simple as battling against bots in the different modes available. Maybe something along those lines will be included in one of the upcoming four DLC packs, so we'll have to wait and see what EA does with this game over the next year. In the end, it's a good game for Star Wars enthusiasts, but it still has lots to work on if it wants to stand up at the pinnacle of first-person shooters.
Star Wars: Battlefront offers excellent set pieces that act as nostalgic playgrounds. At the very least, it's a great experience for the "Star Wars" faithful, and the solid and accessible control cements a production with far-reaching appeal. That appeal may not reach to the core group of gamers that are bound to complain about the lack of depth, customization and overall gameplay innovation, but they're not the intended demographic.
Battlefront is a Star Wars game first and foremost, and its second priority is being a game for shooter fans. Those who enjoyed the original trilogy will be thrilled to see an AT-AT downed by Rebel snowspeeders or Darth Vader appearing on the horizon with lightsaber ignited. Those more interested in a meaty multiplayer shooter may want to look elsewhere.
Even if you are not a fan of Star Wars, Battlefront still has a lot to offer. Great multiplayer, jaw-dropping visuals and expert sound-design really make up for a few unbalanced gameplay mechanics and despite the lack of a single-player campaign, Star Wars: Battlefront really worth your time and money.

The lack of space battles in itself is another blow, which is not to say I don't love dogfighting through a canyon on Tattooine, but there was something about flinging a hapless boarding party against a Star Destroyer in some remote corner of the Galaxy that re-created the heroic adrenaline rush of the original A New Hope trench-run
Star Wars Battlefront fehlt es leider etwas an Umfang und Langzeitmotivation, aber ihr bekommt dafür einen der bisher besten Ableger der direkt an die Star Wars Filme angelehnt ist. Die bekannten Schauplätze und Helden sind wirklich großartig umgesetzt worden und durch den Split-Screen Co-Op und die diversen Modis, habt ihr zumindest für einige Stunden ein sehr gutes Star Wars Erlebnis mit euren Freunden oder alleine in der Online-Schlacht.

Star Wars Battlefront nails the epic battle atmosphere with great visuals and authentic sound design.The gameplay on the other hand is somewhat shallow. The environments, whilst offering amazing graphics, aren't the best designed ones either. Star Wars Battlefront is most enjoyable in short sessions and should be acquired through the Origin Access subscription.
