STAR WARS™ Battlefront (Classic, 2004)

Ever since they remastered Star Wars BattleFront 1 and 2 for the current generation consoles, in doing so, they had removed the abaility to play them on the Xbox One if you had the original disc copies. I decided to buy BattleFront 1 for PC on here and it has been well worth it. Either GoG or the game will detect controllers plugged in, so that is very helpful, unlike Steam where you have to jump through a bunch of hoops to make it work, then pray they don't update it and it doesn't remember you controller or control button binds. Overall, same game as it was back in 2004. I'm running the game on an Asus Q55L from like 2015 with an i7 and 940m graphics card and there has been no issues. Yes the game still freezes on loading screesn, but unlike the console versions, it eventually gets going without issue.

Playing this game in Windows 11 on modern hardware and it's smooth as silk. The game isn't demanding enough to make VSync an issue on 60Hz monitors and my Creative AE-5 Plus soundcard is compatible with the OpenAL hardware acceleration. Action is fast & fair, the classic units are pure nostalgia, and the soundtrack is outstanding of course. Great pickup when on sale,

I've spent many hours on this game. Being immersed in a section of the Star Wars galaxy has a strong appeal. You have moments where you feel like a real Billy Badcat. On the other hand, a few levels are almost impossible to beat. It seems to require a fair amount of luck, and I don't like playing a level 50 times just to see if I can get one 10-second section of gameplay to go right.

Not a port. Console is blessed to even have experienced this gem as this was clearly inspired by Battlefield 1942. This is the all time best battlefront. The maps were tremendous, every battle was breath taking and no OP Jedi.

Fun game, barely works on Windows 11.
