Okay I just started playing it again after leaving it alone for a few months and I might as well review this game becuase I am bored


Star Wars: Battle Front

SW:BF is basically a clone of BF:1942 and BF:V (maybe used it's engine). I am a tiny bit dissapointed at a few things at the game including it's physics and AI.

I will start off with the physics, after you kill someone they will drop thier gun and when you take a quick jog over the body the gun (that is like a meter away from the corpse) magically moves with them. The game does not use ragdoll physics but that does not really matter.

Second is the AI. The computer controlled players are quite... well retarded. They basically have a chat to the enemy while you are trying to survive.

Finally, I have a list of a few things that kinda bug me in the game:

1) You can not kill the jedi heroes with guns! If a grenade goes off near them they will fly through the air and when they are flat out on the ground you shoot at them and the laser beam things magically bounce off them. But a speedbike kills them easily :dozey:

2) When you enter a vehicle and you wanted to be the main gunner and a Computer Controlled Player to be the pilot and already is the pilot in the tank/plane etc etc. You enter the vehicle and the Computer Controlled Player will jump out and run away. But if you actually success in getting a CCP as a pilot and you as a gunner. They don't drive :( they just sit there.

I do not reccomend getting excited about the game if you have not bought it yet. But still, it is better then other games I have :D
 
Wow, that's a short review.

Personally, I liked the game alot, mainly due to it's atmosphere. There were some minor bugs, yes, but they didn't overshadow the quality of the game.
 
battlefront is great, really fun multiplayer +)

and suprisingly good graphics for how well it runs.
 
Asus, I am sorta of a Star Wars fan. I am not saying the game is absoulute crap, it passes the time. I should get around to multiplater when my download limit restarts :o
 
i have read a PS2 magazing review (OPS2 7/10) where thy basically say its not at home on a console, because single player is extremely boring and not many people have the internet.

then i read a PC review, (PCgamer 60%) which says its a console game, because all the lasers travel really slowly and you cant hit anything, plus its full of loads of bugs and its designed for console gaming.


oh dear... looks like its not at home anywhere. that will teach them for tying in its release with the DVDS!!! .......well actually it wont, seeing as it sold well on every platform and made millions... oh well :(
