STAR WARS™ Battlefront (Classic, 2004)

First Battlefront is THE GAME for every Star Wars fan who was born in the prequel era. Well-known battlefields, clones shooting everywhere, originall trilogy stuff. It's sooo great. It was the best shooter in the Star Wars franchise up to it's own sequell. For me this game is much more better due to presence of starfighters and my favourite vechicle of enitre saga LAAT on land assaults. Is it worth playing today? And that's where minus comes... No. All of the content was later transported to BF2 by modders. Do what you want with your money, but have this in the back of your head. Anyway i highly recommend this game and the series!

Yes you heard that right. NPC heroes. Unlike the sequel you actually had AI heroes jumping about around the map rallying your troops and giving you that extra morale boost needed to win the day. I loved this feature back then and was disappointed to find out it was gone from Battlefront II. Oh and I fondly remember being able to mow down hordes of gungans with their puny (but deadly) shock grenades. Oh the memories!

I'm glad GOG was finally able to get this game back on the store shelves. This game has many things that its sequels (and two knockoffs) never included. My personal favorite is getting into a ship and ejecting just before it crashes into my enemies.

Back in the days of Battlefield 1942, every SW fan that played it thought about how awesome it would be to play that game in the SW universe. Youre not a hero, not a jedi, just a trooper in a huge battle. A mod team made Galactic Conquest for BF1942 that was wildly popular... a couple years later Battlefront was announced. This game had fantastic graphics that still hold up today. Its nothing like the current series calling itself Battlefront, but you can play it knowing how old it is and its still immersive, pretty, and wont make you cringe. As all Lucas Arts titles, it has classic SW music and effects. The whole package puts you right into some of the most iconic battles as a frontline soldier. You have battles between the Alliance and the Empire that are from the original trilogy. The gameplay is a lot like BF1942 with command posts all over the map, flying and land vehicles you may use, and tickets that count down with player deaths and when a team has a minority of the command posts captured. There are different classes that perform roles like regular troopers, engineers that fix vehicles and objects, and medics. It has an instant action option that allows you to pick a map rotation, or galactic conquest that allows you to pick a side and conquor the galaxy planet by planet againts fully functional bots for single player. It of course has multiplayer options as well. This was one of my favorite SW games of all time and one of my favorite series. If you want to experience the actual Battlefront series and a truly immersive SW experience, this game will not disappoint! You will see how far 2015 and 2017 strayed from the winning formula.
