Unless your very small or you like extremely repetitive gaming, this isnt for you. This practically one buttoned game can be fun with multiplayer and for the first few months. But after that its not worth it.

Eassssssssssssssssssy game

In virtually every game I have ever played, from the Atari 2600 onward, the player was at the center of attention. In this game, that is by no means the case. You will be one of approximately 200 players on the battlefield (which is a chaotic mess) with no special abilities (beyond being a pilot or sharpshooter, etc...). Depending slightly upon the settings, you can very well win a specific battle without ever leaving the safety of your bases. That should tell you just how important you (the player) is. I bought the game based upon it's rating here at Amazon and with the "Star Wars" name, but it is not to be compared with other games of the the same genre. RENT IT BEFORE YOU BUY IT!!!

Big disspointment for ps2

I waited and waited for this game to come out, then ran to get it. Boy, was i dissapointed. Playing the game doesnt have that cinematic feel. You feel immersed, but with no control. There is no real evolution as such. Just a shoot em up. Thats it! Graphics are ok. I sold mine the same day. Am going to buy an XBOX with KOTR. Ive had it wating for ps2 to get some good star wars games together. Never gonna happen.......

Yuck! Ughhh! Someone help me get these awful images out of my brain!

Star Wars Battlefront. The best-selling Star Wars game ever. HA! This game is a truck-full of old banana peels. The style of shooting is blah, the droids die almost immediately and it gives a poor rendition of "all the great Star Wars battles." To the makers, that ment the droid and clone armies fighting to the finish and Rebels and Imperials shootin' eachother. But to great Star Wars fans like me, this includes the battle in Episode V between Luke and Vader and the Episode I joust between Darth Maul, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, plus others. The gameplay is difficult and a lot of times I got killed was because of the stupid targeter keeping me glued in one direction and I couldn't see that Rebel from behind! And the characters weapons are all trash ecxept the snipers which hardly ever hit. Take my advice. Buy Battlefront 2 in November and leave this depressing pigsty on the ground.

I don't understand all the postive reviews...

It's a Star Wars game, but it's a pretty bad one. Ok, the graphics look awesome, as a multi-player game I could see this being good. Single player mode can have two extreems, easy or hard. Those aren't selectable settings, but the way you choose to play. At each "level" your character becomes immediately involved in a large battle, your character is one of many fighting this battle and there are no specific goals other than taking over command post. You can elect to piloting ships, steal an AT-AT etc.. but this really only serves to bring a loose bit of freedom. It makes the game a giant mush without any order to it. You can fall back and let the computer controlled team mates win the level for you or you can engage in combat and (usually) be destroyed almost immediately. Bottom line, this is a poor game. One of the worst Star Wars games ever made. Save your money.

Hi there ! I got this game for my husband , whom had been wanting it since he loves Zero Mostel, it had over 20 worlds was new ect.... WELL.. it does have lotttts of wookies , BUT the graphics is mmmm pretty good i guess , The save game Does NOT work & there are22 total levels with 15 missions each level YOU CANT DIE or you have to start all over again!!!! it wont save what you have accomplished so far !!!! WOW come on!! Then you get so far and at the end of one of the levels the last At-AT is totaly unbeatable not in any mode or setting the jedi trips out extremely erradicaly and to fast for you to catch !!! there are no real instuctions or context to the little book it shows the planes & controls for the joyatick or keyboard is all ,, and this is a 4 cd game!! help costs you at least 2.00 $ a minute or more ... I have also read reviews that come from people who really are into the Star Wars thing and they say the same its not worth it!! Compared to say CAll Of Duty it sucks the big one!!!!

Fails for the Single Player

The battles in this game are kind of short, and, what's worse, winning them doesn't depend on the level of player participation! As one reviewer noted, you can win many battles in this game by killing one enemy, or none at all. Maybe it's different with online play, but I've not ventured into that arena yet, and have no plans to in the future.

The graphics are much like the CGI of most George Lucas films; they're kinda pretty and also kinda plastic and dull. The same goes for the sound effects. The laser blasts sound... well they don't have that much "ump." Also noted by one reviewer, the player isn't at the center of the action in this game. It's just an all around dull experience; I won't be renting the sequel.

Man, I really, REALLY wanted to like this game. I've been waiting for months for its release. Now that I have it, I can say that I am thoroughly disappointed. So-so graphics, one-dimensional single player, and one of the WORST multiplayer games on the ps2. I've read a few game sites' review of this game, and I have to wonder if they played the same game that I bought...

Let's get this straight right now...there is NO DIFFERENCE between single player and multiplayer in terms of objectives. The only difference is that in multiplayer, you are playing with/against other players as well as AI bots. This game isn't like SOCOMII (a game it will be constantly compared to, fairly or not), where the single player game has different goals and employs a different style of play than the multiplayer. If you play the single player missions, you'll have a pretty good idea of what multiplayer is going to be like.

Speaking of multiplayer, maybe it's because I'm such a fan of SOCOMII, but I don't like the fact that the multiplayer games are all respawn games. Unlike SII, where once you die you need to wait for the round to be over, in SW:BF once you die, you wait a random length (between 1 and 15 seconds) and then you can respawn with a different character and from any of your team's respawn points. once you take away the fear of being eliminated from the round, you also take away a big chunk of the strategy aspect of the game. so far, i've only been in games where everyone was a chicken with their head cut off. there is very little planning or teamwork involved.

it doesn't take much to die in this game. i guess it's because you can respawn freely, but i found it extremely frustrating that no matter how much I dodge, or hide, it only takes about two shots to take down a player. snipers will rule this game. there are some good hiding spots, and players get so caught up in the skirmishes, that a halfway decent sniper could park just outside the main action and rack up the kills.

the one thing i like about this game over SII is that so far, lag doesn't seem to be a factor. Maybe it's because the game is new and there are still a lot of people who don't have it, but I have no complaints about the connection quality. What I do have a problem with is the fact that if you jump online there are no clans, no buddy lists, no search functions, NOTHING. C'mon LucasArts or Gamespy or whoever runs this show, you worked so hard on this game, why not go the extra mile (is it even the extra mile to include these functions in a game anymore???) and make it a little more attractive to players?

I understand that for those Star Wars fans, you're going to buy this game no matter what. I wrote this for the folks who are on the fence about buying it. I can say, as a fan of Star wars and third person games, that this game is not all it's cracked up to be. if i had it to do over, I wouldn't buy this game.

An OK game, can get really frustrating though (lousy AI)

Basically, this is the first FPS game I've bought. It's alright, and I like how you can play as the Empire. Unfortunately though, in Galactic Conquest mode, on the difficulty level "Hard", it's nearly impossible to win against the Rebels. Sure, a human player could easily rack up 50-60 kills on each level, but if you're just playing single player, forget about your AI teammates helping you out. Most of them just stand around and get killed, and hardly ever look for cover when being fired upon. Of course, the opposing AI, the Rebels, do splendidly well. Unfortunately I've played it on "Medium" difficulty and it's just way too easy. There shouldn't be such a disparity between medium and hard, since although hard is very challenging, it's almost impossible to beat, and you will get frustrated really fast-- especially since on the leaders board you will end up with like 60 kills, 9 deaths, and then the AI player below you on your team will end up with 5 kills and 10 deaths. And don't even think about flying anything. The controls are just way too awkward. Hopefully there's some techno-geek out there working on a way to let players use the Jedi.
