Star Wars Battlefront is undoubtedly the Star Wars experience that we all wanted, it’s just a shame that there’s a distinct lack of content. That said, playing Battlefront is as close to being in a Star Wars movie as you're ever likely to get.

While Star Wars Battlefront is by no means a triumph, it’s not a disaster either. It nails the Star Wars atmosphere perfectly, with an incredible sense of spectacle and some of the most awe-inspiring moments in multiplayer gaming. That said it’s all pretty skin deep, with none of the depth that turns fun multiplayer into an all-time classic. It’s still fun, loads of it in fact, but only in short b...

Star Wars Battlefront lacks the content offered by many other competitive shooters. It starts strong only to fumble constantly, but there’s never has there been a Star Wars game that felt this real before. It won’t hold your attention for long but for a few hours the epic cinematic experience will draw you in.

Overall, Star Wars Battlefront is yet another arcade shooter that Star Wars fan didn’t quite expect as a successor of the critically-acclaimed Star Wars Battlefront II. With the lack of content, game modes, heroes, customization, space battles, and the prequel era – the game is quite a disappointment to Star Wars fans. Despite these negative factors of the game, visually Star Wars Battlefront is s...
