First off, I would like to say that if you have any doubts about this game..buy the Star Wars Trilogy DVD collection because it comes with a free demo of SW:Battlefront. Let me just say that this game is probably the most incredible game I have ever played for the xbox (except KOTOR). In Battlegrounds you can re-live all of the battles of any of the movies! There are a ton of planets that you can journey to to fight your enemy. Theses planets are: Hoth, Tatooine, Endor, Yavin 4, Kashyyyk (Wookie homeworld, also in KOTOR),Bespin (cloud city), Naboo, Kamino, and others.

Now for the units.. It took me about 25 minutes before I could actually decide what unit I wanted to be. The choices are vast in numbers and all have tons of advantages in their own ways. I wound up picking the Republic Pilot, because I loved flying. My second choice, however, would have been the Republic Sharpshooter. The Classes are: Alliance, Republic, Separatists, or the Empire. The Units for each Class vary greatly, and each one is unique!

There is a single player on this games, and you can go head to head, or do conquer missions. The SP is a good idea to play at first just to get used to the controls and the surroundings at first. However, if you have Xbox Live, things just got better. You thought that you had a lot of choices with the units...well, that is nothing compared to what you can do on Live! You can play your favorite battles with up to 16 other players and customize everything you want. You can chat with your allies or taunt your enemies throught the live communicator.

PROS:
- Excellent graphics
- tons of worlds to choose from
- Tons of units, and space ships available
- Excellent depiction of the battles that took place in the movies

CONS:
- None (except if you dont have Xbox Live...get it...this game might not be totally meant for Live....but the best battles are fought over Live and you are missing out without it!)

Overall..GREAT GAME one of the best from Lucasarts yet!

Definately hits the "waiting for Halo 2" spot

Although, I have read reviews for many games, I have never felt the need to read one...Until NOW!!! This game is addicting and a full on fighting experience. Please note that this is from a casual gamer. Since I have a job and a girlfriend, my game time is limited. That is why this game is sooo great. You can jump in to any battle on any side and just play. No complicated ordering troops about or huge strategy battlefield nonsense. Just shoot-em up fun. Plus, you get to play in environments and outfits straight out of the movies.

Additionally, as an ex-soldier, I like the fact that you really get to be just that...a soldier. Not Han or Luke or Vader. There are tons of games dedicated to the "heroes" of the "force." As most true soldiers know, it is usually the grunts and ground pounders that win the wars. So you get to fight as the fighters do, not behind the scenes directing the battles or leading troops...just fighting.

I know that many full time gamers will disagree, stating that the game is not complicated enough or that the controls weren't exactly perfect, BUT for those of us regular joes who just want to have fun for an hour or so after work or before going out to a club, this is the perfect game.

Of course, it helps the playing experience if you like the Starwars Movies.

Amazing Multiplayer Game

The Multi-player portion of this game is absolutely amazing. It's like Halo with controllable computer armies to back you up. The point of the game is to control all of the checkpoints, but most of the time a battle will be won by defeating all of your enemy's reinforcements. My neighbor and I sent up a System-link so that we can have team battles in our separate apartments. Every game you have so many options of which side to fight for and what type of soldier to be in that army. The game also includes many vehicles that can be user controlled, which are a lot of fun. I can't speak to the faithfulness of the Star Wars theme but over-all this is a great game and defiantly worth your time until Halo 2 gets here.

Starwars Battlefront

As you know, battlefront takes placein the actual star wars wars. For example, Remember back in Episode V? when they fight in HOth, well, you get to play in that battle, and drive the big AT-AT's or the AT-ST's. also if you choose to be the rebles, you may play in the snowspeeders and harpoon the AT ATs down! also in episode II where they are in genosis, you get to fly the republic gunner ship. man is that fun.

the controlls are soo easy to get used to, they are just like James Bond games or Halo. you can change the game point of view from 1st person to 3rd person, personally i like 1st persong.

some errors i find about this game, is that many times i find myself being killed by no one, as if the guy is invisale. but i get used to it. its not too much of a problem, who knows, i may be blind :). so far thats the only glitch i have found. i have had this game for a couple of months now.

instant actionand golatic conquest are the best modes in this game. also i would reccumend getting Battlefront II some time.

Best SW game yet by the way the 2nd one sucks

This game is the perfect star wars game.It really feels like you are in the battles now most of you are thinking Ill get the 2nd one well dont its not half as good as this one.
The Game offers huge maps coverd with enemys and allies duking it out all over the battlefield unlike the sequel the cps are smart not like the 2nd one when they refuse to obey orders and run into walls these guys however are smart they drive vehicles well and stick together

The Maps are gorges huge beautiful and look like the same places in the movie youll fight in places such as Jabbas palace Hoth Naboo and the city of Bespin which is my personal favorite and much much more. in galactic conquest you pick which planets to atack and each team has a power the imperiols will use the death star and blow a planet of the map and each planet has a power of its own such as jedi Hero Reanforcements and elite training and more.

this game is a perfect Star Wars game the only problem is no space battles but dont go crying to the second one because the space battles in that just arnt that great.

BUY THIS GAME!

My 2nd favorite star wars game of all time

I'm not a 1st/3rd person shooter fan. But this game's graphics and sheer re-playability won me over. I actually played Battlefront II before I, but the original seems much much better than the sequel.

P.S. Best star wars game ever: X-Wing Alliance. What can I say, I'm old-school.

A Gift From Jesus!

Any vehicle in the movie just about every location in the movie and every battle

well not all the battles but we can wait for the sequel for the rest of the battles

Ive been seeing alot of crapy SW games lately like clone wars Bounty hunter I just about to loose faith in star Wars Games when I saw what looked to be a perfect star Wars game SWBF finally they made a game that wasnt based the stupid clone wars they went forward some years to the classical times of Storm troopers Luke and completly battle droid free of course if you want your droids back you can always have the choice of fighting in the first 2 movies or last 3 movies and if you want some Episode 3 action wait untill the sequel

as i said before this is the hugest come back for SW games ive ever seen

great game
