'Star Wars Battlefront' is a multiplayer shooter with a variable perspective. Players can switch back and forth between first- and third-person as their hearts desire. In true 'Star Wars' fashion, the battlefields are awash in blaster fire, thermal detonators, X-wings, walkers, and even lightsabers.

DICE had their hands full when they had announced they were making a new entry to the popular Star Wars video game franchise Battlefront. After the unfortunate end to Battlefront 3, it seemed fans and critics alike were warier than ever.

That lack of depth makes Battlefront a tough game to understand, because If you're a Star Wars fan and you like multiplayer shooters, then there's no question that you should invest in this game. You're going to have a pretty good time with it.

+ Outstanding presentation; + Walker Assault; Fighter Squadron; Supremacy offer great uniqueness; + Solid Survival and Mission campaigns

- Broadly lacks focus; - Too many modes feel like variations of other uninspiring modes; - Season Pass content should have been in the final game

captures the essence of Star Wars beautifully, harnessing the most exciting and memorable pieces of the universe for a unique and spectacular combat sandbox. Aside from awkward performances and a poor original score, Battlefront is a master class in aesthetic authenticity.

Huge sandbox; Great co-op missions; Spectacular multiplayer

Weak game modes; Weird music and VO

Star Wars Battlefront isn't as robust as its peers but it succeeds at scratching a nostalgic itch for Star Wars like no other game in the franchise. Those holding off from playing because of a lack of content can look to the future as DICE plans to launch five paid expansion packs.

As many others have stated this game suffers from a serious lack of content, especially in regards to having any sort of a decent Single Player experience. The online battles are okay, but get repetitive quickly and the really fun content is almost all in DLC.

I had no idea this game existed until watching some YouTube vids. Then I bought it and it's awesome! The graphics are better than the movies, the game helps you level up, and lets you live out your true Star Wars fantasies.

It looks like parents and children give this an average rating of 10 and up. This is wrong. Although the game itself is incredible in terms of graphics and realism, (5 stars) the bottom line is you are responsible for holding a weapon and shooting to kill other people.

A beautiful recreation of Star Wars, and a solid if simple shooter. This is a game you'll love intensely albeit for a short space of time.

Brilliant; authentic Star Wars experience; Some excellent game modes; Shooting is solid and accessible; Excellent online presentation

No decent solo play options; Lacks much tactical depth
