Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review: It's probably not a complete coincidence that Star Wars: Battlefront comes out on exactly the same day as the original trilogy (or at least what's left of it after the Special Editions) DVD box set. The fact that Battlefront sounds like a lot like Battlefield (as in 1942, Vietnam etc) is also probably not entirely down to chance, since this is essentially a Star Wars-ified version of EA's online classic.
As such the game features first or third person shoot-'em-up gameplay over 15 different environments from both the classic trilogy and the not-so classic trilogy. Unfortunately you can't mix and match the different eras, so each of the two sets of opposing factions have to stick to their own levels.
Although the game has a much stronger single player mode than its PC based inspiration, the heart of the game is still the multiplayer mode that allows for up to 16 players online playing as more than 20 different soldier types, which sadly doesn't include Ewoks or Gungans (although the former are at least in the Endor levels as non-player characters). There are more than 30 different authentic Star Wars weapons to use (although not, as far as is known, lightsabers) and 30 different vehicles to pilot, including Scout Walkers, X-wings and speeder bikes.
Despite its obvious steals from the Battlefield series Star Wars: Battlefront is shaping up to be a more than worthy title on its own, with excellent graphics, plenty of variety and, most important of all, the chance to essentially "play" Star Wars, except with virtual characters instead of action figures.--David Jenkins

What a fantastic game (is what i thought when i got this game near to when it was released) It is still even by todays standards a very good game the sequel (battlefront 2) was a huge let down in my opinion but thats only because the first battlefront was so good. You definetely should buy this game if you haven't already.

This is a game which allows you to clad the white armour of a stormtrooper, grip the cold bowcaster of a Wookiee, see through the scope of a clone sharpshooter and roll into combat as a ruthless droideka, battling armies in a galaxy far, far away. Within the game, there are four different factions to fight for upon the battlefield: the Empire, the Rebellion, the Republic and the Confederacy- each with their different units and vehicles. Every faction has the same types of soldiers- basic troopers, long-range snipers, anti-vehicle heavy units, pilots and certain unique units to each army (eg: the agile Dark Trooper for the Empire and the strong Wookiee smuggler for the Rebel Alliance). You can take the role of any of these units, allowing you ... Read More:

I received this game for my birthday last year and as soon I started playing it, I knew that I would have many hours of fun playing with it. The graphics are excellent and the gameplay is great (especially the fact that you can't play as a Jedi for a change). The good things about this game are that instead of having to complete missions and objectives, you just have to battle and it makes a change from all the other games. One of the several other good things is that instead of having to play as Jedi, you can finally pick up a blaster and play as a clone or a stormtrooper, a rebel or a droid. The only thing that bothers me about this game is taht some of the clone and droid (and some stormtrooper) units have just been created for ... Read More:
