Star Wars Battlefront Reviews
1. Star Wars Battlefront
I have a real love/hate relationship with games based on the Star Wars Trilogy (and the
soon to be trilogy of prequels).
For every TIE Fighter, Jedi Knight 2 or Rogue Leader, we're given a Super Bombad Racing or
Flight of the Falcon.
The games really do range from the great to the truly awful.
So when it was announced that Pandemic, makers of the so-so Episode II Clone Wars game,
was working on a title that would make the large scale battles of the trilogies playable
by up to 32 people at a time (depending on the version), I and a legion of fans were
skeptical.
The Battlefield games are great, and a Star Wars game that plays anything like those would
be a dream, but would Pandemic be able to pull it off?
Star Wars Battlefront makes no qualms about borrowing heavily from Battlefield
1942/Vietnam.
For those unfamiliar with the style of play found in the Battlefield series, here's a
brief explanation.
The more control points your team has, the more areas you can spawn from and the slower
your team's ticker goes down.
The single player game consists of two main modes - Campaign and Galactic Conquest.
Campaign gives you a series of linear levels that take place during either the Clone Wars
or Galactic Civil War, while Galactic Conquest allows you to choose from a number of
different scenarios and lead your forces in an attempt to capture every enemy controlled
planet.
Unfortunately, each of those modes keeps the exact same style of play and offers no real
reason to play the same levels again and again, other than to learn the maps for
multiplayer action.
The online play is mostly smooth (depending on the server) and, truthfully, there's
nothing quite like sneaking in to steal a control point right from under other players'
noses.
This imbalance is marginally helped by the fact that people in vehicles can't capture
control points (as they can in just about every other game), but a little more tweaking
would've definitely helped the game's longevity.

3. Not a Jedi Game
The overall game is difficult but interesting and tends to keep your attention.
I was very pleased with the sniper view on some of the people you can use, however enemies
when very close up seem to disappear and re-appear all over the place.
The graphics and movies are good, wouldn't say the best, but they are good.
All in all if you like shooting and blowing stuff up, and enjoy the Star wars movies and
idea, then this game would be a good addition to your collection.
