I have been looking forward to this game for the last six months or so since it was announced. I am a Star Wars and BF1942 fan. The game came out here a week after the rest of the world, so I was reading the reviews before I got it. I was getting worried reading some of the reviews. Some people were saying the graphics weren't great and the PC version was not as good as the console version. So I was a bit worried as I installed it. Boy was I relieved, this game is fantastic. I do have a 3Ghz system,1MB Ram and 256 Graphics card so I am seeing the game at its best. The graphics are beautiful. They seem to have a kind of 'soft focus' style to them but it works great.

I began playing the single player to get used to the maps etc. The single player plays great and you really seem to be part of a war. The single player in BF1942 was crap, so I was greatly impressed with the implementation of it here.

There are a few issues with the multiplayer. It does require a patch to deal with some of the lag issues and finding a good game can be difficult.

So if you are a Star Wars and BF1942 fan like me , you will love this game. It is my dream game and quite possibly the best game I have ever played.

SW Battlefront and it's best

This game includes a good graphic and also the gameplay is fascinating. The sound is not quite good at all. Battlefront has a big fun during the play but the cutscenes are almost too short and there is no end. But I love this game, I adore it and you guys should buy it too.

It's a souped-up version of Duck Hunt. Point and shoot.

I love Star Wars. Lovelovelove. I was practically beating people down and running up their backs to get this on the first day it was out. So realize this review was difficult to write.

The graphics are good, but not great; faces are not rendered well (square). Backgrounds and game areas are nice, but nothing you haven't seen before.

Playwise, it's a basic point and shoot. Sure, you can choose what character you'd like to play, and what type of weapon they will utilize and how they will kill, but it's find bad guy, point and shoot. The thrill of hopping in vehicles like the ATAT and the chicken walker ATSE wears off as soon as you realize they're ungainly and slow. The joy of hopping in Tie Fighters or X Wings is lost the moment you realize the field you get to fly in is barely bigger than your computer screen (you have to fly in tight circles, so don't think of glorious dogfights or anything). Flying vehicles aren't used for much. Even taking down the mighty AT ATs is hollow (and not easy). Darth Vader or Mace Windu occasionally join the party, but they're *gasp* just square blobs with no real details and...and...and... *sob*. This should have been great. Even killing Ewoks (again, hardly any detail to them) should have filled me with glee...but it didn't.

Your job is to shoot and not think too hard. Yawn. Extremely one-dimensional, the only thing fun about this game is utilizing the multiplayer online game part of it--one click of a mouse, and you're on some server in a galaxy far, far away playing against people with names like Darth Bob--very fun and super challenging, despite their propensity to mince and dance about to prevent me from shooting them (laugh)! The real-life users mix things up a bit and make a brain cell or two activate in your head. But still, all you're there to do is point and shoot.

You want a great SW game? Then get Knights Of The Old Republic. Seriously. Battlefront isn't horrible--it was pretty darn fun for the first couple of days. But you'll quickly find it's a game you put on the shelf.

Sorry to be harsh, but this game was RUSHED.

I know, I know. You think I hate this game just 'cause I'm mad at George Lucas for ruining Star Wars with the prequels. I swear that's not the case. I was looking forward to this game, still not expecting it to be great, but curious about the opportunity to finally shoot ewoks, and ANYTHING from episode 1. What I got was, well...

Maybe this is a result of LucasArts laying off all their game designers and farming out their licenses, I don't know. I DO know however, that this is just a poorly and thinly veiled re-hash of Battle Field 1942. Seriously. If you already own BF1942, just go online and get the Star Wars mod for it- Battlefront's graphics are only marginally better. This game already looks 2 or 3 years old. Or like Grand Theft Auto 3. It's that bad.

Play mechanics aren't great either. Did you know that EVERY SPECIES takes two sniper shots to the head to kill, helmet or not? They didn't even bother to make different regions have different damage values. Shoot a wookie twice with a sniper rifle in his big toe- it's just as lethal and just as dumb. And the hit detection just sucks anyway. Very glitchy.

To be fair, watching bodies ZOOM through the air after (finally) being hit with a missile launcher or grenade is hilarious, and I am just writing about the PC version. Maybe it's better on a console, for once. And no, it's not my system. I can run Doom 3 with all the goodies and not even a hiccup.

We couldn't get the cinema cut scenes to work, the loading screen of CONSTANTLY zooming in on the planet is dumb and has a really irritating sound effect, and all the audio is repetitive. Plus, the score system of kills and flags captured is unoriginal, and the method of "capturing the flag" or base or whatever is really lame. Stand there. For a long time. Nice, challenging game play it's not.

Seriously, if Doom 3 is too much for your system to run and you NEED a new shooter, your cash is still best spent elsewhere. Either put it toward a new video card, or take your wife/girlfriend/mom out to dinner. Or mail it to me. Or go buy the original trilogy on DVD. But friends don't let friends pay for Battlefront.

I love this game

A Kid's BF1942

This game is kind of confusing to me. In some ways it appears to be a very dumbed down bf1942 with a Star Wars'y thing going on.

But at the same time, some of the complexity of the character classes adds an element that is more tactical than bf1942. (The pilot class for instance)

The multiplayer browser absolutely sucks.

The graphics....if your playing on the PC, it's obvious this is a console port.

I played it pretty hard for about a week or two, and then went back to BF vietnam.

If you have the $40 to spare for a cheap thrill for a week or so, I say go for it. However, if your gaming budget is tight, I recommend the UT2004's, or the Battlefield series over this. They offer much more replayablility, and have massive mod support, which I doubt this game will ever have.

Simplistic

I hadn't played any of the Battlefield games so I didn't know what to expect.

What I found is pretty simplistic. The game just doesn't have the tactical options and complexity of Tribes 2 or Joint Ops.

Its a pretty game to look at, and its fun to play in the Star Wars Universe but it seems like a game for nintendo players compared to the team shooters I'm used to playing.

The multiplayer interface and chat systems are just plain painful. This game was obviously designed for console and thrown at the PC market incomplete.

Extremely Good Game!!

I got this game along with 2 others and a playstation 2 slim version. the playstation 2 didnt work and the game reset, BUT my dad took the system back and got a new one, and now it offers tons of gameplay. whenever i get home from school and dont have homework and in the mornings and the weekends, i am behind that game! I strongly suggest this game to anyone, what with it's so many vehicles on the land and air, hovering ones can even go in water. reanact your favorite scenes from the movies! the battle on Geonosis from Attack of the Clones, the battle of Hoth's Echo Base from the origional Star wars (Episode four now, used to be origional), even others! Since Battlefront 2 is not out yet (cant wait 'till November 1st!), I play this game, even turrets and soldiers are a little new (some of them). Even vehicles i didnt know about! even fight along side a jedi!

Ignore the negative comments people have written

This game is awesome. Anyone who says the graphics aren't amazing must have a junky video card. The water and reflections are beautiful and this game does a great job of putting you into the experience. The multiplayer server selection is a little limited since it doesn't have filters and it has trouble showing accurate ping ratings until you click on a particular server. However, if you have a cable internet connection or better, you shouldn't have trouble finding a place to play without too much lag....that has been my experience anyway. There is already a patch available to help solve some of the multiplayer issues. Overall...this game is the best I have bought in a long time. Great mixtures of graphics, sound, and most importantly...playability.

it is very cool. i especially liked flying and fighting alongside darth vader and other jedi heros. i like the weapons. the only problems i've had is that i have a laptop and ust have a mouse pad not an actuall mouse so it is kind of hard but i play it a lot. I spend at least five hours a day playing pc games and this is my second faverite game so believe me, it is good. it wasnt as fun to play noline which was surprising because most games in my experiance have been more fun online. at first i didnt like it but when i got to undersand it all, i realised what a fun game it really is.
