Strengths: Virtually every aspect of the game is accurate (with regard to the movies). The planets, vehicles, and characters create a very realistic gameplay experience.
Weaknesses: There is a limited selection of playable characters and low difficulty level.
Summary: I saw commercials for Battlefront and didn't even think of purchasing it, despite being a big Star Wars fan. This is due to the fact that a great deal of Star Wars games lack in quality and simply bank on the franchise's namesake. A few months back, I found it at sub $20 price point and decided to give it a try. I was immediately surprised by the evident time and effort devoted by developer Pandemic Studios. It is clear that they worked hard to make this a fun and accessible game. If you are even remotely interested in Star Wars, this is a must have. It has all the characteristics of a great adventure game. I was satisfied with nearly everything save a few minor details. The few problems that stuck out, such as the lack of characters and other famous battles, seem to be taken care of in its sequel, Star Wars: Battlefront II. I would definitely say that this is the best Star Wars licensed game since the Super Star Wars series of games on the Super Nintendo.

Strengths: Licence. Full of action. Wookies.
Weaknesses: Wish there was more story. Some different objectives would have been nice too.
Summary: Action packed battling in the Star Wars universe. Gotta love it. Plus you get to bounce all over the galaxy and fight a whole range of people and vehicles. Tons of fun in short bursts but not a game you ll get hooked into for hours single player wise. A buy for any Star Wars fan and a worthy rental for anyone into gaming at all. Just remember, its more about quick action and fun than deep story and gameplay.

Strengths: Multiple characters to choose from, although some are much easier to play with than others. The levels are large. The game is a lot of fun to play in multiplayer mode.
Weaknesses: Even though there are multiple levels, they all seem to play the same after a while.
Summary: Star Wars Battlefront is a good game for Star Wars fans who like choices. You can choose sides, character type, and to play with or against your friends in multiplayer mode. It plays similar to the old James Bond game on Nintendo 64, only with many, many more players involved, especially fun on Live or with a group of friends. The game is also pretty short, so it won?t take up weeks to beat.

Strengths: Good graphics, good multiplayer, online capable, very good Star Wars game
Weaknesses: Weak single player, laggy online play
Summary: Star Wars: Battlefront takes the Star Wars experience to the online and offline multiplayer realm. The different gameplay areas cover all six movies, though less so with Episode 3. The game looks good, sporting good graphics and sound, and is one of the better Star Wars games out there for look & feel. The multiplayer works best online, though can be a big laggy and buggy with large-scale battles. The single player campaign isn't worth much, so without a broadband online connection, this game doesn't have much value. For Star Wars fans that want a great online experience, this is one to look at.
