The finest details are present with tiny scratches and imperfections adorning character models. Battlefront has set the bar high visually it is one of the most, if not the most gorgeous looking title on current-gen consoles. On top of this, all vehicles and units were modelled and rendered based on the original sculpted miniatures in the Lucasfilm Archives. Endor for example, was filmed in the Redwood National Park in California Hoth, on the icy wastes of Norway and Tatooine, on the arid flats of Tunisia. DICE took great care in developing and populating these worlds, having travelled to multiple locations used in the filming of the original movies they have precisely captured the look and feel of each locale.

I found myself gasping at the ice crystals hanging from the entrance of Echo Base, the flare of the A-Wing’s engines as it blasted through the laser-filled skies above Sullust, and the deep thump and recoil of the Imperial Walker’s cannons as it decimated Rebel units scurrying between the giant trees of Endor.īeautiful and visceral, the world around the player is intricately detailed and pays homage to the Star Wars universe in a way you have never seen before.īattlefront’s true colours lie in the attention to detail both visually and mechanically. Beautiful and visceral, the world around the player is intricately detailed and pays homage to the Star Wars universe in a way you have never seen before. Hoth, Tatooine, Endor, Sullust, and, most recently, Jakku play host to some of the most phenomenal multiplayer experiences I have ever had in a game.

Spanning 4 iconic planets, Star Wars Battlefront is the Star Wars shooter you have always wanted to play. Right down to that dent in Boba Fett's helmet. When it was announced that they would be wielding the proverbial lightsaber of a new Star Wars title I took comfort knowing it would be a crisp, polished experience.

Considering its lineage and pedigree of their Battlefield franchise, it needs little to no introduction. It’s safe to say that DICE is a major player in the multiplayer arena. However, the series has changed ownership to Disney and EA who have unleashed their first in what is sure to be a long line of Star Wars titles the development being handled by Swedish studio DICE. Star Wars Battlefront stands as a tribute to both the golden age of the saga and the outspoken fans who have long demanded a return to Pandemic’s epic titular series.
