Star Wars Battlefront (PlayStation 2, 2004)

This is a great star wars game. No i'm not like one of those people at those game conventions. I simply am saying this is a good quality action shooter game. There are a wide variety of levels as well as cool characters to fight as. The graphics are great and the gameplay is good. Overall 5/5, Great game,Recommend getting.

What can I say about this game ..............................nothing but great replay the classic battles ..........................................leave a yes or no if what I wrote was helpful

I enjoyed this game a lot! This is another game that I spent hours and hours on... The wife hated it :P It has a great storyline, great characters, and great functionality. You can control a lot of Star Wars vehicles, animals, characters, guns, and ships. You are also able to switch from good to evil at your leisure.

Co-op campaign mode is awesome. This game is very similar to a capture the flag, Battlefield 1942 type of game. If you are only going to buy one, buy this one. It's better than Star Wars Battlefront: II

The game works and my son is happy. I was going to buy this game local at
target or walmart but they didnt carry it anymore because it is a old game we just didnt get until now. This game had the book that is a plus. It came quick it did have scratches on it but it does work. My son was happy. The tracking number on this order was off I purchased in in 8/08 and the tracking was for 1/02 kinda weird.

This once again is a great game. Just like all the other star wars games full of action, super graphics and many worlds and enemies to battle and defeat. I recommend this game to everyone, even if you are not a star wars fan, you will still love this game!

I bought Battlefront because the game offered alot of different levels of playing, with more options when it came to the players.The graphics are very good. I give it a A+ for all around playing pleasure.

Me and my son love it! We have it on PC x2 he is out of the country and we play it almost every day. Now that we both have PS3 i purchase 2 PS2 version and we play it online. I love it it's super!

Good game. It was fun and exciting. I collect all starwars games. I enjoyed movies too. I keep buying this starwars game from ebay.

i liked the detail graphic and it stays with the movies and ive alwayz wanted to play a star wars game on playstation since when i first played Star Wars Shadows of the Empire and so i heard about this game but i was always so busy to play games now i free time i recomand buying this game its fun and the thing i dislike about it is you can not play as a jedi but you can be the Rebels, Empire, Republic and CIS also known as The Separtist. Its a fun and Educational Game for Star Wars Fans out there.

Ask any Star Wars fan and they will tell you that Star Wars video games have been going downhill since "Return of the Jedi" on the SNES with few excpetions. Only lately with games such as "Rogue Leader" and "Knights of the Old Republic" have fans been given a reprieve from the status quo of mediocre games. "Star Wars: Battlefront" is next in the line of good, albeit not superb, games of the beloved trilogy.


Gameplay: The bulk of the gameplay centers around a Star Wars version of "Capture the Flag". On each world that the Rebels/Empire, Clones/Seperatists, Gungans/Trade Federation, etc. do battle, there are five or six bases that either side can capture. You need to either capture all of the bases or kill all of your opposition in order to declare victory. On paper, a mix of Star Wars combat and Capture the Flag, doesn't sound all that appealing, but once you sit down and play, you'll most likely be sucked in and, before you know it, four hours of your life will have disappeared.

One of the nice things about this game is that you can choose which side you want to fight on in the "Instant Action" mode of gameplay. For each affiliation (Empire, Rebels, Trade Federation, Clones, etc.) there are numerous different soldier types that you can fight as. For example, if you decide to fight as the Empire as I like to do, (DIE REBEL SCUM! MUAHAHAHAHAHAH!) then you can fight as a regular Stormtrooper, a Darktrooper, a Scoutrooper, an Imperial Officer, or others. Each different soldier has different strengths and carryies a different assortment of weapons.

In addition to fighting on the ground, in each level you can also take control of AT-ATs, AT-STs, AT-TEs, TIE Fighters, TIE Bombers, X-Wings, Y-Wings, Snowspeeders, Cloud City Fighters (I don't remember their name), Skiffs, Landspeeders, Tanks, and just about anything else your nerdy little heart could desire. You can also take control of enemy vehicles and rain death down on their unsuspecting troops. Be warned though, although you have a great many vehicles at your disposal, none of them control particularly well and so therefore, you'll probably be spending the majority of your time wth this game on foot, laying waste to Rebel or Imperial troops.

Graphics: The game takes place on such notable Star Wars locales as Hoth, Yavin 4, Kamino, Geonosis, Tatooine, Endor, Naboo and others, so the environments are quite varied and, considering the scope of many of the battles, the graphics are a sight to behold. The explosion effects are quite nice as well. You'll also get a sneak peak at Kashyyyk, the Wookiee homeworld, which is said to play a part in Episode III.

Sound: Familiar Star Wars tunes and great battle sounds. The voiceover of commanding officers saying "Our reinforcements have been cut off!" or "Victory is imminent!" does get very repetitive after a while, but that's pretty minor in the grand scheme of things.

Misc.

-In each battle, whichever two sides are fighting always have the exact same number of troops. It would have been nice if in some battles, you were outnumbered, and had to formulate a strategy that would even things up.

-Watching your charater get hit with a grenade and go flying trough the air is great and NEVER gets old.

We came to this game from the Lego StarWars series when our 6 year old was ready to take it up a notch.

Hard-core gamers would laugh at the shock to my system. I still haven't completely grasped how to handle the ability to control in three dimensions (3D). But this game makes me want to try!

I always liked Capture the Flag while growing up, so the basic game-play is great here. I love being able to jump in and out of vehicles and actually use them (to the best of my abilities)! I also love being able to choose the characters. It helps that you can actually go into options and change most of the buttons as needed. And the splitscreen playing is pretty good, too.

Graphics are pretty good, although there are a few transition/visibility issues that are distracting, particularly if you are close to objects, but I find that switching from 3rd person to 1st person view helps a lot.

There isn't a lot of plot to the game, but that isn't really the point of the game. It's to jump into the StarWars battles. And it does that well. Your character is only a small part of the battle, and it seems that the winning depends less on superheroics and more on what your character does to help the team. The battlefield is big and there is 'action' everywhere, but you only see the small portion where you are at... fairly realistic.

It is, by the nature of battle, a 'violent' game, but they didn't include any gratuitous gore that would make game play offensive. Like the forms of 'bad guy' 'good guy' that I played outside as a kid, when you die, you 'fall down' and have to go back to 'base' before you can rejoin the game.

The kids lovew the game it is easy to figure out how to play and the kids from 13 to 8 can't put it down.

Star Wars fans rejoice. My favourite FPS on my PS2 or PC.
Fantastic. When I play a FPS, I don't want complex mission, I don't want squad based tatics, I want fun straight forward gameplay.

Battlefront delivers, and better yet it delivers in the Star Wars universe.
It was my first PS2 game, and it has lots of replay value for me.

Great sound, great models, and great environments. I only wish there were more.

Plus the option to go on foot, in land based and flight vehichles, or hop in a stationary cannon, and take down some tie fighters. Various ways to complete missions, and perfect difficulty level settings for a mild player like myself.

Pros
+ Choose between Good & Evil.
+ Be a part of epic battles.
+ Take the war online.

Cons
- Vehicle controls need work.
- You only feel like a small part of the battle.
- Online play is not so smooth at times.

Comments
This is a great Star Wars game & a lot of fun. Taking part in epic battles makes you feel like part of the universe. But it is easy to die sometimes until you get used to crowd control. 'Rogue Squadron' has better vehicle elements. Why couldn't they borrow those elements?

Verdict
Must have for Star Wars fans. Must play for anyone else. Excellent addition for any collection.

This is one of my most favorite games of all time. Why? Because its Star Wars and you get to fight on nearly every planet you can think off. You get the play as the Empire, the Rebels, the CIS, and the Republic.

There are three different modes on the game and that is Galactic Conquest, Instant Action and Historical Campaign. In Galactic Conquest you get to choose a faction and battle it out with your enemy planet by planet. Every 4th victory (doesn't matter if you lose or not) you get to choose a planet to destory or cause an uprising to take over or eliminate the planet. In Historical Campaign, you get to play as all four factions and play in the order of the events in accordinace to the movies. In Instant Action its well just that. You get to choose which planet you want to fight in and in what time period. Galactic Civil War or the Clone Wars. You also have the Jedi hero bouns as a default which gives both sides a Jedi.

The things that I liked best about this game was being able to get in the AT-AT's and the other numerous battle tanks, the snipers, throwing a gernade at someone and watching it explode causing the person to fall forever off the edge (always a good laugh) and being able to play at Bespin and Rhen Var which are my two favorite planets.

I bought this game used AND loved it!!! You don't have to be a Star Wars fan to fall in love with this first person fighter game. What makes this game unique to me is that your not stuck with a sigle figher or stuck trying to fulfill a mission objective, or in other words, theres no one telling you what to do................ Your teamed up with an army fighing along side you and if/when you die, feel free to choose a different fighter!! You can choose many different infantry no matter what side you choose as well as over 30 different vehicles to pilot as well as many different weapons at your disposal. You can take out the galaxy on foot for ultimate hand to hand combat or strike your enemy from a multitude of vehicles including one of my favorites, the AT-AT's. It doesn't stop there either.............but i don't want to spoil it for you.

great game, good grafics and 2 player, bought it for good price and have had success in past with buying games on ebay

I bought this game for my son. He liked the game alot. For me, it was boring. You're on a big battle field or I guess different scenes from the movie shooting and trying to destroy the enemies. I'm not a big fan of shooting games, but if you like shooting games, this is for you. I really enjoyed the Star Wars Lego game more.

It was alot better than the second one and personally i don't think it should be rated teen. It is one of my favorite games. (Be a sniper, they are the best!)

A MA ZING

star wars battle front is a really cool game ii give it an a+ i got it because its cool good graphics

Ok, I'll admit I'm not a Star Wars fan...BUT this game is SO much fun to play. It's kinda tricky to control at first, because you have to use both joysticks to move around.

I'm seriuosly addicted to this game. My favorite thing about the game is you can be the evil side (which IMO is the better side) because I think they have better characters to choose from...they also have better guns too!
