Star Wars Battlefront is finally here and we can finally take a look at what the rest of the review world is saying about one of the most hotly anticipated game of the year. While our review is still in the works, we can see all the places that got a copy early to see what the major and minor outlets thought of the game, and by the early looks things are, well, mixed.
AusGamers – 9/10
“Star Wars Battlefront might not be terribly considerate of solo players and its by-design accessibility might deter DICE’s hardcore Battlefield fans, but there’s no denying the multiplayer is a hell of a lot of fun, and as far as creating the feeling of being part of a Star Wars movie, it doesn’t get any better than this.” – nachosjustice
TICGN – 8.5/10
“Star Wars: Battlefront is fantastic both as a game and as a love letter to the Star Wars movies.” – Jordan P.
Game Trailers – 8.1/10
“Star Wars Battlefront is an epic cinematic experience”
Polygon – 8/10
“In a sea of multiplayer-focused shooters, Star Wars Battlefront distinguishes itself as much by what it does as what it doesn’t, and that comes at a price.” – Justin McElroy
Gamespot – 7/10
“Battlefront feels more like an homage to Star Wars than a substantial Star Wars game in itself.” – Mike Mahardy
VideoGamer – 7/10
|Star Wars Battlefront, then, is one of the best experiences of the year, if only for a short while.” – Steven Burns
Destructoid – 6/10
“Star Wars Battlefront feels authentic in many ways, but that authenticity is aggressively pursued at the cost of gameplay, and is often tacked-on.” – Chris Carter
Gadgets 360 – 6/10
“Unless you’re the sort who quotes dialogues from the movies verbatim, fantasizes about Princess Leia, and speaks like Yoda, you can safely pass on Star Wars Battlefront.” – Rishi Alwani
Attack Of The Fanboy – 4.5/5
“Beautiful but lacking, Star Wars: Battlefront will most certainly please Star Wars fans with incredible fan service from DICE. ” – William Schwartz
Digital Trends – 4.5/5
“The ambitious scope of Star Wars: Battlefront creates both its most fun and most frustrating moments.” – Phil Hornshaw
Games Radar – 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.” – Andy Hartup
Game Revolution – 3.5/5
“Whether or not Star Wars: Battlefront is worth your dollar may depend on three things: how much you love Star Wars, how much you wanted this to be Battlefield with lasers instead of its own game, and how much you are willing to gamble on EA and DICE supporting it with enough additional DLC content to keep it continuously interesting moving forward.” – Blake Peterson
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.” – Dan Ryckert
