4.0 out of 5 stars Great for non-gamers, September 24, 2004

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Star Wars Battlefront (Video Game)

I love this game. I totally understand where many of the negative reviews are coming from...but as a person who only plays games once in a great while, I must say that I thoroughly enjoy this title.

It's easy to learn and you can just jump right in a play for ten mins or 5 hrs and not get bored...granted, if I played 5 hrs a day every day for a couple weeks this game would get old REAL fast...but it's certainly a solid game with good graphics.

If you are a Star Wars fan but not a gamer (as I am), this is a great game for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a Jedi Game, September 23, 2004

Jinxy the Destroyer Hunter :oP (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Star Wars Battlefront (Video Game)

All in all it's an alright game with lots of fun things to do and shot. Many of the different vehicles you can use if you can find them and there are a variety of different weapons and people to use. However, Do NOT count on being darth Vador or Luke or any of the other main characters other than Chewy, He's the only one you can be. There aren't any Jedi knights you can be, or not that I have found as of yet. 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.
Good luck and happy hunting...

This review is from: Star Wars Battlefront (Video Game)

I'm not a Star Wars fan, but this game is so much fun. I haven't had this much fun on a game for a long time.

GOOD:
There are so many vehicles to use. There are also some cool characters....and jetpacks. The levels are creative and the "capture the base" style play keeps respawn play strategic. Playing with so many bots gives a big battle feel that I haven't experienced in a game. Also, there are many details from the SW movies that are added into the levels.

BAD:
The online servers aren't set up very well. It's hard to find a game with a friend, or any specific room at all. Also, some of the blaster guns trail way behind your crosshairs and this gets annoying. As with any online shooter there are occasional teamkillers.

If you like first person shooters and/or Star Wars than get this game. It seems that Lucas Arts is releasing online patches quite often to fix all the problems in this game.
