Star Wars Battlefront

To get in the spirit of the holiday season, I asked Facebook what their favorite snow level was – I got back Hoth from Star Wars Battlefront. Shout out to @TimCaloweh and @Jordan BestRoommate for the recommendation – this was a pleasant throwback to pull out and play again!
Have you ever wondered what would happen if Yoda fought Darth Maul on Hoth? Or if you drove a speeder full force towards an army of Wookies? Star Wars Battlefront lets you and your friends try just that.
–Verdict–
Art: Take the Star Wars movies, and put them in a game. In the old ones, this means old 3D graphics that didn’t stand up so great to the test of time. For the new games the graphics are absolutely breathtaking, usually rivalling or besting the movie’s special effects.
Gameplay: Traditional shooter, either first or third person. Difference is, some of the characters have The Force and others are intergalactic bounty hunters with jetpacks. Also, you can pilot ATATs and X-Wings. That’s pretty cool.
Replayability: Very high. I still have fun sitting down with a group of friends and playing team battles of Sith versus the Rebellion. If you notice, I’m talking about LOCAL multiplayer here – something that the new games are lacking for four players. Yeah, yeah – I know that there’s two-player arcade mode, but limiting the local choices to less modes and less people feels plain wrong when the old games crushed that category.
Would I recommend? If you have a PS2 or an Xbox, and want a fun sci-fi shooter whose playability stands the tests of time surprisingly well, then go and get yourself the original Battlefront series. If you’re looking for next-gen, Battlefield-esque graphics, prefer playing online, and are willing to pay 10x the amount that you originally paid to get the same number of characters in your game, then by all means go for the latest that EA has to offer.
