| Star Wars : Battlefront
I got this today, and have been playing it since I got home.
Wow. I think with the possible exception of Rebel Strike on the Gamecube ( And that's a tough comparison given that one's a spaceship game with FPS bits, and the other's an FPS with spaceship bits ) this is the best Star Wars game ever made.
I've just played through Hoth - and with the option to run about as a Snowtrooper, nick Taun Tauns... Or pilot a fucking AT-AT, it's as close to being in the film as anything's managed to date.
I imagine the PS2 and X-Box versions will be entertaining, but having played the PS2 demo, the PC version's still got that "Mouse and keyboard, and hi-res GFX" edge.
Nice to see the extra capabilities of the PC put to good use.
I can't wait to try this on a LAN! |

Right...I'll likely be doing a review of this for the mag, once Kenny gets round to editing my last piece. =/
Best thing they've done with the Star Wars game license since the SNES games. | |

Can someone confirm, is this just like Battlefield Vietnam but with Ewoks instead of Charlies? | |

5 classes, 5 races, same Battlefield engine style game except every major movie battle with infantry in it from Ep 1, 2,4,5,6 is recreated here with stunning emotion (if yer a fan)
Multiplayer, mind, so you and some friends can kill rebel scum in your AT-AT all day long | |

| Re: Star Wars : Battlefront
Got beta because of my 2 Galaxies accounts, infact I got 2 keys, one from each. The keys are tied to my account for Galaxies tho.
I just asked, it is closed mouth, oops apparently not even supposed to say Im in the Beta. I should learn to read t&cs. Aww well | |
