Star Wars: Battlefront is a game based off the “Star Wars” movies. Everyone knows and loves the movies, of course, so a game about people fighting in space just makes sense!
When playing, you have 4 maps to choose from, including Endor, Hoth, Tattooine, and Sullust. Hoth is an ice planet, Tattooine is a desert planet, and Endor is like a jungle. So, the fighting environments each have very unique looks. Sullust, the one people are probably least familiar with, is a volcanic planet, but you’re mostly in a space station there while playing the game. So, in the battles, you attack your opponent on sandy plains to snowy mountains and even in space.
You have to pick your battles!
You can choose from a normal battle where you fight each other or a “Hero Battle”. In the normal battles, you can choose through multiple types of guns and other special equipment. In the hero battles, though, you can choose from different characters from the movies! Each of these are player vs player where you can fight your friends. You can also play multiplayer against your friends in the room or play online where you play with up to 39 other people.
A 3rd fighting mode, Skirmish mode, lets you play against computer teams of fighters and vehicles. Essentially, this is the same as online multiplayer mode except you can play it offline with no other players or just the ones in the room with you. You have less choice of who you can play as, though. For example, when joining the Imperials during skirmish mode, you’re always a storm trooper.
The biggest difference of multiplayer online and skirmish modes versus hero battles is that, in multiplayer online and skirmish, you can get in and fight in vehicles such as X-Wings and AT-ATs!
While fighting in any mode, you get fun weapons or special things you can do based on your character. For instance, you can get lightsabers if you’re someone “Force” related. In addition to lightsabers and blasters, other characters have special abilities. Darth Sidious can shoot lightning from his fingers. Boba Fett has a jetpack. Vader and Luke can jump inhumanly high. Also, for some reason, Han is really fast.
I love the game. Especially when I get to fight my friends.
