Star Wars: Battlefront review – fully armed and operational

One of the best-looking video games ever made and although relatively shallow the spectacle and excitement of the Star Wars universe comes across superbly well.

Incredible visuals and sound make perfect use of the Star Wars universe; Solid gunplay and a wide variety of modes; Walker Assault and Fighter Squadron are particularly good

The game's unashamedly shallow and its longevity is probably limited, at least in terms of long gaming sessions; Heroes are rarely as much fun as they should be

That's no moon - Star Wars Battlefront review

Nostalgia is a powerful tool. It signifies an emotional attachment to something, and that's valuable in its own right. Games like Shovel Knight or Pillars of Eternity wouldn't have happened if some didn't hold a longing for the Good Ol' Days.

Pure; unabashed reverence for the original trilogy; Fun; interesting hero characters; A visual / audio blockbuster

Shallow progression; Faceless soldiers with little meaningful customization; Lacking in content
