There was a lot of controversy around this game when it first launched becasuse EA had essentially made it pay to win with all of the micro transactions. Well I am happy to report that the only micro transactions are for cosmetics and you can unlock everything in the game just by playing it.

This game simulates epic battles across the entire Star Wars saga, with graphics, sound and grameplay that would have you scratching your head and wondering if you're watching one of the movies. It is an incredibly fun romp across the galaxy.

When LucasArts was firmly in charge of developing their own line of Star Wars video games, quality control was a complete crapshoot. Sometimes the developer released winners, sometimes losers, and sometimes fascinating experiments that at least tried to do something different.

Superb graphics and amazing attention to Star Wars detail; Starfighter Assault is excellent and the story mode is a good effort; Plenty of game modes

Offensively cynical (and fiddly) progression system, whose reliance on luck and microtransactions destroys all sense of fairness; Mediocre gunplay

Star Wars Battlefront 2 hits all of the right notes in the heat of a pitched firefight. Blasters chirp, TIE Fighters scream, the orchestral accompaniment soars or crashes as the good guys or bad guys take the lead.

I thought 2014's Battlefront was a fantastic game, and compared to most AAA first-person shooters, it was a lot more approachable for people who don't necessarily play a lot of competitive shooters. For most parts of it, it was as simple as point and shoot.

Approachable and Fun Multiplayer; Space Battles; A Good Amount of Content At Launch; Great Performances; Fantastic Visuals and Audio; Playing as Solo and Lando in Campaign
