Star Wars: Battlefront

STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT

R E V I E W

Star Wars Battlefront; what a classic! If you haven’t played this game you are really missing out! Who doesn’t love Star Wars right? And to play in the shoes of an infantry soldier in the war. But its not just Rebel soldiers, you can play as the Rebels, Empire, Clones, or CIS (droids). Pretty awesome right? Of course it is! Lets get into some review.

The Cover art of Star Wars Battlefront

G A M E P L A Y --- Being made my LucasArts its going to be good! The graphics are pretty nice for the year it was made. The sounds were spot-on according to the movie. The dialog was pretty cool too. The voice acting didn’t sound cheap at all. There could have been more maps, but hey, the rest of the game makes up for it! You can choose either first-person or third-person perspective, both of which are very nice. The gameplay itself is very smooth. When you die, the game doesn’t restart at your last checkpoint. You re-spawn at a command post of your choosing. Its like Call of Duty online matches, just Star Wars themed, and you don’t have to be online! There is a Story Mode, an Instant Action mode, and a Galactic Conquest mode. The story mode consists of a bunch of missions in an order, with a back-story before each one. It is a pretty decent story mode. Not too short or long either. Instant Action is just like it sounds. You pick a map and BAM! There you are. Pick your side and you’re ready to fight. Galactic Conquest is a pretty interesting mode. It consists of an interface as if you are over-viewing the galaxy. You pick either the Clone Wars (Clones vs. CIS) or Galactic Civil War (Classic Rebels vs. Empire). Depending on which you pick, a set list of planets will appear, with lines connecting all of them. The object is to capture all of the planets, by battling on them, or over them in a space battle. You navigate between planets with a ship. You get one movement per turn. You can also space battle at anytime when ships of opposite teams enter the same space. You can upgrade your troops also. Since you start out with basic troops, you can upgrade and get more variety. For example, one of the CIS’s upgraded troops is the Droideka. Upgrades for each battle are also purchasable. Make sure you purchase upgrades regularly and don’t run out; it can make the difference between victory and defeat.

O F F E N S I V E  M A T E R I A L --- The game is based pretty much only around Violence so that may be an issue. Other than that there is no other offensive material that I saw. No language, no blood, no anything else! I love that about this game!

O V E R A L L --- Overall I give Battlefront an B+ on the JMRS and I recommend it to ages 8+. Everything is pretty awesome! When you first try this game you will be amazed by the quality especially for the PS2. An insanely awesome game you can get for cheap! Be sure to pick it up next time you’re near a GameStop!
