Star Wars: Battlefront is one of the most highly-anticipated titles from the Star Wars universe in large part because of its ability to immerse you into scenarios from any of the five Star Wars titles. According to our crack game review Ben Kuchera, Battlefront excels at exactly that, reminding you at every turn that this is a Star Wars game.
You’re also reminded at every turn that this is a Star Wars game. The familiar John Warner music blasts at you from everywhere, and the sound effects are perfectly recreated from the movies. With Star Wars it’s always seemed to me that the sound is almost more important than the visuals. After the movies and the other games we know exactly what a blaster sounds like, we know how a lightsaber should sound, we know what music plays when. All these little details put you square into the Star Wars mood, and they’re all recreated perfectly here.
Star Wars universe: check. Playing as a storm troooper or rebel: check. Ability to frag JarJar Binks: check. Aside from those details, how does the latest from LucasArts stack up? Check out the review and find out.
