[Review] Star Wars Battlefront
Rating: T for Teen (which like PG-13, which is a red flag for me with movies, but games are different)
Synopsis: Battlefield 1942 with Wookies.
What worked/What I liked:
- you get to shoot gungans, a lot of gungans
- you get to shoot ewoks, a lot of ewoks
- the sounds was phenominal
- the graphics were liquid smooth on my computer
- you get to drive AT-ATs
- Wookie Smugglers + Ammo driod = teh win
- the republic gunship is the shit, a flying tank and one of the easier craft to fly
What didn't work/What I didn't like:
- maps were too small, especially the ones where you could fly stuff
- TIE Fighters and Xwings are not atmospheric ships in my book
- the bot AI while not impressive was better than bf1942's, but it was still limited
- historical campaigns didn't let you choose a side, while it was fun shooting gungans as part of the droid army, I would have preferred to play the Empire on the Endor mission
- bf1942 like mouse controlled flying
What I haven't tried yet:
- multiplayer online (just haven't had time), but I really hope it isn't like bf1942, where my online experience was ruined by people who were able to snipe me from across the far side of the map right as I spawned. Battlefront's sniper weapons aren't one-shot kill weapons so this may be better. Now I may just spawn in front of an AT-AT. :-)

Tonight, I try online...
Online was pretty fun. The server find interface sucks and I don't like to use gamespy. The only server I could find that was full and not password protected was on in the UK. I connected and it ran fairly well with only a few packet loss errors. If they came out with some larger maps, I think this game would be a lot better.
