Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this game. Graphics and sound effects are amazing and true to the Star Wars franchise. The only critique is the lack of maps/worlds. The game was released with 4 worlds, then Battle of Jakku in December added another one, with a total of 5. This is fine for the smaller game modes, but for the large game modes, it means you'll be playing the same map a lot. If you buy the season pass, you'll get a lot of additional content over the next year, but is it worth the extra $50? We'll see.

Allow me to introduce you to Stan, Michelle and Zane, three very different gamers. After spending multiple hours playing Battlefront, they have differing opinions about Battlefront for a diverse set of reasons. Which one can you most relate to? Meet Stan. Stan is a hard-working guy who is totally focused on providing for his wife and two kids. Gaming used to be Stan's main hobby, but as his career and family has grown his gaming time has dwindled to a few limited hours per week (if he's lucky). Stan is also a massive Star Wars fan, never passing up the chance to watch one of the movies with his kids (who are also major fans) or to talk about the lore with his co-workers. When he first saw Battlefront's commercial a few months ago, he immediately became ecstatic about playing in his favorite Star Wars battles like in many of the older Star Wars games he remembers fondly. After picking up an X1 and getting started in Battlefront, Stan can't stop playing Battlefront when he does get his precious game time. He appreciates how easy it is to pick up the game and play. When Stan tried some of the popular shooters in recent years, he quickly grew overwhelmed at the various weapon perks, progression paths, challenges, etc., and loves that it has all been streamlined in Battlefront to be a simple list of unlockable weapons, in-game Star Cards and basic appearance options. One of his favorite things about Battlefront is that it's so easy to grasp he can play with his kids -- giving him a few extra hours each week to play his favorite mode, Walker Assault. There's no question in Stan's mind he made a great and fun investment. He and his family will be enjoying Battlefront for the foreseeable future. Meet Michelle. Michelle is an unashamed gamer, spending multiple hours each week on her PS4 in addition to other hobbies and her day job. While Michelle's game library consists of a variety of genres, she is no stranger to Shooters and regularly enjoys a decent KDR in Battlefield and Call of Duty. Being someone who grew up on Star Wars, she instantly remembered her fun early gaming days of Battlefront I&II on PS2 when she first read about DICE developing a Battlefront re-boot. She was excited, yet cautiously reserved, knowing the recent rocky trend of Shooters being Multiplayer-only focused with developers awkwardly balancing a $60 game with Season Passes/DLC. Still, she played the Battlefront Beta and was pleased with the simple gameplay. So pleased, she pre-ordered and continued to enjoy the full game upon release. While Michelle is comfortable with and can get wrapped up in the deep progression and customization of Shooters like Destiny and Call of Duty, 2014-2015's constant release of Shooters makes her find Battlefront's barebones approach very refreshing. She appreciates the arcade-like feel, and her past experience with Shooters made her quickly excel among other players online. Still, after a few hours she has a few concerns. Michelle doesn't like how there are only a few maps in the biggest modes, Supremacy and Walker Assault, despite there being 12 maps advertised and only more accessible on the smaller game modes. In addition, though she found several of the smaller modes like the Domination-esque Drop Zone and Heroes vs. Villains to be a blast, some of the other modes felt like tacked on derivatives with not much depth. Despite her concerns over the content being light compared to other recent Shooter releases, Michelle has no doubt she'll put 30-40 hours into Battlefront easily, even if it doesn't end up as her favorite Shooter of 2015. Meet Zane. Zane's only hobby is competitive gaming. He owns a PS4, X1 and a gaming PC that he frequently enjoys playing Counter Strike and Battlefield on. He has been in a competitive clan for a number of years that regularly practices multiple days (if not everyday) each week. Zane likes Star Wars, but isn't a major fan. He remembers loving the original Battlefront games, and upon seeing DICE's gameplay progress on the game, Zane instantly became skeptical. He felt it looked way too accessible, and he was very angry that DICE would alienate Single Player gamers by not including a complete Single-Player campaign. When the Beta came around, he only played a few hours before writing it off. There wasn't enough progression. There wasn't any deep way to customize your loadout, and Zane hated that if your blaster overheats you don't have a true Secondary to use in tight situations. Have I mentioned he felt he died too easily? Zane admits a skill gap is present, but it's not as precise or competitive as CoD or CS. When Battlefront released, he borrowed a copy from a friend and felt the same way. Engagements felt the same. Zane felt DICE really screwed the pooch on the amount of maps for the bigger modes. He was very happy to get back to his clanmates and wrecking kids in Black Ops 3, never looking back at Battlefront. ----- I hope you enjoyed my review and felt one of the above gamers were ones you could relate to in a way that shares your feelings on the game or will help in your decision to buy or not buy Battlefront. DICE built a multiplayer game that is designed to appeal to everyone, being as accessible as possible. By nature it will put off highly competitive, "hardcore" gamers. My review focuses on MP as I have not played any Survival Missions yet. Will update this when I get a chance to do so.

Son says its an ok game; the problem is that there isn't much of a game to speak of. It's only partially complete, and they're withholding the rest of it as a cash grab.

I was pretty excited about this game, but it ended up being a disappointment. It was nothing like the old Battlefront game for the PS2.

I brought this game thinking that it was going going be fun and exciting, but it let me down!! It would be a million times better if it had a story mode or something

This game could have been so much more. Paying $60 for Multiplayer only and then another $50 for a season pass? Egregious cash grab.

Just does battles and you have to the internet to fully enjoy. Wasn't impressed

This is a game that depends on how much you love star wars, mayhem, and simplistic gameplay. There is not a whole lot to this game. There are not many maps per game mode, and some the modes can prove to be a complete wash. There are offline modes that can be played solo or splitscreen with a friend, but the content is sparse there as well. Despite these flaws, I have managed to play the game for over 34 hours in a span of a month. Simply put, it is a fun game to play. I normally despise competitive multiplayer, but this suited me perfectly. It's best to get this game at half the normal price(30 instead of 60), because that is it's true worth. Even if you do pay full price, you could still get your money's worth.

The potential was there but in ea style they made it payable if you feel over excessive amounts of cash.

If you buy the game you are going to have to buy the season pass to get a whole games worth of content.

Didn’t like it all that much. No storyline to play so do t play it anymore.

Expect this to be like the original game play for Battlefront for PS2 but I was very disappointed.

Over promised and under delivered for a game that had so much potential

This game is kind of lame. It feels as if it were rushed to be made and lacks excitement

After playing the beta I knew I had to get this game. The graphics are excellent and the all around feel is very nice. The multiplayer is fun, but can sometimes be a bit dull. There are very few moments when you'll be super pumped during or after a match, but you'll still enjoy yourself a lot. The upside to this is that you won't really ever get angry when playing online :) The one thing that I don't like about this game is its lack of being able to start a party before the match with MULTIPLE friends. You can only invite one friend to be your partner and start a match from there, which isn't cool since I have multiple friends I want to play with & allowing for a party of greater than 2 people to search for a game is much more convenient for the gamer & should be a common sense feature of any online game. Other than this slight annoyance, I'm a big fan of the game. It's good fun and will definitely keep myself and most others entertained for a long while. I'm looking forward to continuing to play this throughout the year and beyond. May the force be with you!

I was a little disappointed with this game. It’s mainlyban online game

Fun for a couple of days to play with a friend, after that you will want to trade it!

Not really a Star Wars can, but the kids seem to get into it for a little while.

The old ps2 battlefront had more features. This one brags about co-op and split screen but it's just surviving waves. There is no single player/ story. The multiplayer is the entire game. It's fun but so much more could've been done with this great looking/sounding game. I wouldn't recommend it until the price drops a good ways.

Worst game ever! the advertisement look so good and fun. but it's actually boring.
