Game Description

Its probably not a complete coincidence that Star Wars: Battlefront comes out on exactly the same day as the original trilogy (or at least whats left of it after the Special Editions) DVD box set.

The fact that Battlefront sounds like a lot like Battlefield (as in 1942, Vietnam etc) is also probably not entirely down to chance, since this is essentially a Star Wars-ified version of EAs online classic. As such the game features first or third person shoot-em-up gameplay over 15 different environments from both the classic trilogy and the not-so classic trilogy. Unfortunately you cant mix and match the different eras, so each of the two sets of opposing factions have to stick to their own levels. Although the game has a much stronger single player mode than its PC based inspiration, the heart of the game is still the multiplayer mode that allows for up to 16 players online playing as more than 20 different soldier types, which sadly doesnt include Ewoks or Gungans (although the former are at least in the Endor levels as non-player characters). There are more than 30 different authentic Star Wars weapons to use (although not, as far as is known, lightsabers) and 30 different vehicles to pilot, including Scout Walkers, X-wings and speeder bikes.

Despite its obvious steals from the Battlefield series Star Wars: Battlefront is shaping up to be a more than worthy title on its own, with excellent graphics, plenty of variety and, most important of all, the chance to essentially play Star Wars, except with virtual characters instead of action figures.--David Jenkins.
