Star Wars Battlefront

Great!

You can finally take part in your favorite Star Wars battles, but is the Force really with this one? Read Review

A multiplayer online shooter set in the Star Wars universe featuring soldier sets from the series (Stormtroopers, Rebel pilots, AT-AT commanders, Republic Guards) and a wide variety of vehicles out of the films. Players take part in epic battles from both the original series (Episodes IV, V, VI) as well as the prequel trilogy (Episode I, II, III.) The game liberally borrows concepts from EA's Battlefield series, transplanting the competitive action into the Star Wars galaxy. Players team up or go head-to-head to fight on ten legendary planets from the George Lucas franchise and use a variety of weapons and vehicles, including X-wings, snowspeeders and AT-STs.

Star Wars Battlefront

PS2 Previews | Jul 15, 2004

For many, playing a game about war in the Star Wars universe is much more compelling than playing a game about war set on Earth. Unfortunately for these people, a whole bunch of good online shooters exist that re-create wars that really happened, but exactly zero exist that do the same for Star Wars. This is precisely the problem that Lucasarts and Pandemic hope to alleviate with Star Wars Battlefront. I got to spend some time with the game at a press event hosted by Lucasarts today, and I feel it safe to say that this particular world problem is in good hands. Read More »
