LucasArts Blasts onto Store Shelves with the Release of Star Wars Battlefront for the PS2, Xbox and PC is the expected press release announcing that the new Star Wars action game is in stores, coinciding with the release of the original Star Wars trilogy on DVD: "The team-based action within Star Wars Battlefront is set in 16 unique locations across 10 diverse planets including Hoth, Geonosis and Endor. Players can select one of the 20 different soldier types from each of the four factions: Rebel Alliance, Imperial Army, Clone Army and Droid Army. Each soldier has specialized abilities and the freedom to use ground-based turrets found on the battlefront as well as over 25 diverse ground and air vehicles including the AT-ST, X-wing and speeder bike."

11. Crappy Battlefield knockoff Sep 21, 2004, 11:01 Nick Wilson
 
After playing this game on PC for a few hours, I must admit I'm pretty disappointed. It feels like a mediocre knockoff of BF1942 dumbed down for consoles. The maps are super tiny compared to BF1942 or BFV. All the different factions have the same weapons and loadouts. The graphics are sub-par. Singleplayer is a joke and can be beat in about 4 hours. Also the handling of the aircraft is totally crappy. I miss the good old days when star wars games were actually good, but I guess lucasfilms just sells the license to whoever will pay for it now.

I would advise everyone with a PC to pass this one up. If you have a console with internet it might not be too bad, but there are way better FPS games to play on PC.
