Star Wars Battlefront (EA/DICE)

[MartyG]

EA claim they're going to shift 13 million copies of the game: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/sta.../1100-6431840/

So, this is going to be pretty cheap to pick up on the 2nd hand market then

Anyone interested in this should try out halo warzone, plus you get a normal multiplayer plus a single/coop campaign for your money. Looking at it warzone is halos future DLC package. With just 3 maps available at the moment that come with the game.

And a fully functional map / mode editor, a theatre mode and free maps coming in the coming months.

Played the full game for an hour or so, still not convinced - the "single player" stuff is fluff you'll play once. Multiplayer isn't really any different from the beta from what I can tell.

Looks nice though.

4/5

"A beautiful recreation of Star Wars, and a solid if simple shooter. This is a game you'll love intensely albeit for a short space of time."

Giant Bomb 3/5

"Slick production values, solid controls, and tons of fan service can't make up for mediocre progression and a lack of content."

whens the release date?

[MartyG]

Today in the US & Thursday or Friday UK (conflicting info).

Less content in the main game than most ?20 dlc packs, glad most reviews are trashing but it won't stop a legion of idiots buying it.

[djtickle]

The 3/5 at Giantbomb seem's like a good shout. 4/5 at Gamesradar after what they say is really odd. The reviews should punish this game for lack of solo play and content.

That's a little harsh, [MENTION=938]Tobal[/MENTION]!

I'm sure a lot of people will have a lot of fun with this.
It may be an ephemeral experience, but they'll probably be giddy with joy as the music starts and they feel like they're in the films.

I don't think people who play this and have fun will be "idiots"!

[Colin]

For that reason there's a bit of me that still wants to buy it, but I very much doubt as someone who won't play online that I'd get much out of it.

Well I'm an idiot then I guess...But I'm getting it for 1/2 of retail here, so you can call me all the names you like

[Tobal]

I stand by my comments, even at at 1/2 price you're getting a really shallow multi player shooter with only 4 maps.

[Baseley09]

Seriously 4 maps?

[MartyG]

You get more maps if you give EA more money for the Season Pass.
