"Boring"
1 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I have never written a review but I found this game so bad I had too. I think a lot of people will disagree but I think the popularity for this game comes from its cult following. Within the first hour of playing this game it was back in its box where I think it will stay. It's an extreamly basic shoot em up that quickly became repetitive. Weapons and hero abilities were very basic. Words can't describe how disappointed I was. This was an opportunity to make something great but they have really missed the mark.

"Lackluster FPs and an insult to gaming"
1 stars"

Before you start a war to defend this game just think for a second, strip away the Star Wars skin and what do you have- An incredibly bare bones and lackluster first person shooter. But to be blunt this is a shell of a game, no campaign, no space battles, illusion of progression, a grab bag one one map per mode game types, ZERO connectivity within parties, and of course THE SEASON PASS THAT COSTS AS MUCH AS THE GAME! We all know EA is one of the worst companies in the world, let alone the gaming industry. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! EA will no doubt bring out a Battlefront 2 with all the things they purposely left out of this game AND still charge a $90 season pass for that too!

"Great graphics and multiplayer, but no campaign."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

There is kind of a single player mode where you do missions, but no real story mode or campaign. Other than that, awesome game.

"A Beautiful Galactic Failure"
2 stars"

I have been a massive fan of most “Star Wars” games, so much so that I find the Han Solo dance and song in “Kinect: Star Wars” kind of cute. My favourite game out of them all was “Star Wars: Battlefront II” on PC/PS2/Xbox was because of it's diverse maps, space to ground combat, map playlist and a large variation of characters and stuff from the prequels!!!

This game first caught my attention when I heard that it was getting made by the developers of the critically acclaimed “Battlefield” series and when they made the controversial decision not to include anything from the prequel trilogy. I got a chance to play this game at the EB Game Expo 2015 and since it was a demo I didn't really think much of the lack of maps but unfortunately it was the full game.

The first thing I want to mention about the game is the maps and how bland they are. They are so bland and despite a couple of differently decorated areas in each map they look so bland and are all the same. They are medium sized maps and only with the latest update do they add larger maps which are just as bland.

The graphics are beautiful with superb lighting but does lack detail. It's a very polished game and looks beautiful despite only playing on a 720p resolution.

The gameplay is fun and doesn't take long to get use to the controls. It's fun to play and is for the most part your usual FPS controls. You don't have to be the best gamer to master.

I would have to give this game a 5.4/10

"Great graphics but no story"
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Graphics awesome, game play awesome. Takes a long time to load each mission. But when you get there it seems to be a shallow limited scenario with limited to no character development. Recently played Destiney and Batman Arkham Knight, this seems a lot more like Plants vs Zombies Garden warfare.

"It's PRETTY good."

First, let's be clear: if you're expecting Battlefield in space, you'll be unpleasantly surprised. This is very casual. There isn't a wealth of maps, weapon/loadout customisation, or nuanced combat mechanics. It scores high marks for authenticity, the terrain, scenery and audio are just amazing. Unlike Battlefield, this a beautiful game that is a joy to explore. It has SOME tactical depth, but nowhere near as much as BF4. I am not a Star Wars fanboy, but there are certain things I loved/hate based on my childhood love of Star Wars. Changing Boba Fett's voice and unmasking him in the movie essentially dissolved the mythic sense he had about him. It is a major shame that despite the claim to faithfully reproducing the original setting/characters in this game, they have made Boba Fett sound like Jake the Muss. Also, stormtroopers should never be able to take off their helmets. NEVER. The entire idea behind that totally impractical white-on-black suit is psychological. That you can make your stormtrooper's head an asian chick or an old man greatly deviates from not only the Imperial ethos but also the faceless, androgynous characters the stormtroopers represent. I like that you can be male or female, and of course with the Rebels anything goes as far as races/ages are concerned because they are a hodgepodge militia, not a regimented force. This game is well worth getting. Hoth and Endor are just gorgeous, and shooting blasters feels, looks and sounds great. Gameplay isn't particularly deep, and deviations from the ‘true, original’ Star Wars might jar some fans.
