| | Customer Reviews: a gift for star wars fans (27 October 2008)when i saw a great trailer for this game i got it for christmas and i played it straight away.the game itself is amazing and you can choose to be any of the soildiers in each battle.it also features battlegrounds from the movies and you have to keep the enemys from taking over your post.you can either decide to play as the cis,the clones,the rebels or darth vaders clones. in conquest mode you must fight your way through hard levels and play in multiplayer mode.ther is also instant battles mode where you choose which army to play as and pick a level to play on.what a addictive one. WOW (07 January 2008)What a fantastic game (is what i thought when i got this game near to when it was released) It is still even by todays standards a very good game the sequel (battlefront 2) was a huge let down in my opinion but thats only because the first battlefront was so good. You definetely should buy this game if you haven't already. Wage war in a galaxy far, far away... (23 April 2006)This is a game which allows you to clad the white armour of a stormtrooper, grip the cold bowcaster of a Wookiee, see through the scope of a clone sharpshooter and roll into combat as a ruthless droideka, battling armies in a galaxy far, far away. Within the game, there are four different factions to fight for upon the battlefield: the Empire, the Rebellion, the Republic and the Confederacy- each with their different units and vehicles. Every faction has the same types of soldiers- basic troopers, long-range snipers, anti-vehicle heavy units, pilots and certain unique units to each army (eg: the agile Dark Trooper for the Empire and the strong Wookiee smuggler for the Rebel Alliance). You can take the role of any of these units, allowing you to choose how to fight in combat- be it sniping enemies from a Mos Eisley rooftop or launching missiles at Republic gunships on Geonosis. Concerning the many maps for you to wage war upon, these vary from Kamino's stormy Tipoca City to the icy wastelands on Hoth, the vast clean streets of Theed to the Wookiee villages upon nighttime Kashyyyk and several more. These maps feature famous landmarks from the Star Wars films such as Echo Base on Hoth, the Ewok village in the dense forests of Endor and the lethal Sarlacc pit in the dusty canyons of the Tatooine's Dune Sea. Scattered around each of the maps are command posts (CPs) that can either be controlled by your faction, the enemy's faction or be neutral, ready for the taking. These command posts are a vital part of playing Battlefront as not only are they spawn points for your reinforcements, but also if your faction has seized all the CPs on the map, you are victorious and have won the battle. This is not the only way to win however, as by killing all of the opposition you will also gain victory. To get the upper hand on your foes, you can utilize vehicles in combat. The land vehicles in the game include: the sturdy AT-ST and AT-AT walkers, swift Speeder bikes and STAPs, AAT tanks, Rebel combat speeders, Desert Skiffs, AT-TE walkers, rapid Hailfire Droids and others. On certain maps, starfighters are also available. The airborne vehicles in the game include: X-Wings, Y-Wings, Geonosian and Jedi starfighters, Snowspeeders, TIE fighters and bombers as well as the bulky Republic and Confederacy gunships. Overall, this is a very good game, enabling you to relive some of the most epic Star Wars battles. It is accurate to the films in most places and is great fun to just pick up and play- be it alone or in multiplayer. A Must Buy (16 November 2005)I received this game for my birthday last year and as soon I started playing it, I knew that I would have many hours of fun playing with it. The graphics are excellent and the gameplay is great (especially the fact that you can't play as a Jedi for a change). The good things about this game are that instead of having to complete missions and objectives, you just have to battle and it makes a change from all the other games. One of the several other good things is that instead of having to play as Jedi, you can finally pick up a blaster and play as a clone or a stormtrooper, a rebel or a droid. The only thing that bothers me about this game is taht some of the clone and droid (and some stormtrooper) units have just been created for the game. For example, clone sharpshooters. They do not feature in the films or books and they are also red, which can be quite confusing as colour on an Episode II clone trooper designates rank. I wondered if anyone else had thought this? All in all, this is a great game for any Star Wars fan or any other person who enjoys gaming. |
