this game was pretty good but it wasn't long enough. using the first person mode is the best and makes it more lifelike.

Bought this for boys. They love it. The graphics are good. Hours of enjoyment. Have fun!

Ok this is a very well planned game. Sadly they should of spent a little more time on it.I will explain it in pros and cons.

PROS.

Fast loading time doesn't take too long.
Solid graphics.
Great gameplay, very easy to get used to controls.
Online is fun.
Good campaign...not sure if I spelled that right I forgot how to spell it :)
Good sound effects.

CONS
Sometimes while playing online people like to shoot rockets below your feet and make you fly up into the air for fun.
Sometimes graphics can get sketchy.
Music can get annoying sometimes in the battle scenes it's playing a nice little fru fru song while rockets and bullets fly everywhere.
"campaign" is very fun yet really short, but, do not fear!Galactic conquest is here and fun!
Players do move slowly.

Thanks for reading! by the way I think I splled campaign right =)

My boys (ages six and eight) have enjoyed this game for hours on end. The two player mode is more fun, since the single player mode doesn't require the player to do that much. I found some levels to be quite challenging.

I am a star wars fan and this game is cool. The clone wars and the galatic civil war are awsome. Play as the clone troopers, battle droids, rebels or imperials in the hot deserts in tattoine, or the cold landscape of Rhen Var or Hoth.I am definetly going to give this game a second go.Battlefront 2 is great but finish this game first before moving on.

Relive the greatest star wars battles of all time. Play as the CIS,Republc, rebels or the empire with authentic star wars music from episodes 1,2,4,5,and 6. Also play with over ten planets and fifteen enviroments in histoical campain galatic conquest or instit action. Rock on!

I've owned the game only for a few months. I've been a Star Wars fan for a long time and I just loved it when they came out with this game. I've always wanted to be a Storm trooped trudging through the snow on Hoth to attack the Rebel base and this game actually let's me do just that. The game is overall pretty good, except for the fact that the flying controls aren't really that sensitive so you wouldn't be pulling off any fancy mid-air manuevers in it. On certain levels you also can fight against not only the enemy, but the actual inhabitants of that level. Like on Endor, if you were the fighting agaist the rebels, you would also be fighting against the little Ewoks. Overall a good game, I would suggest buying it.

(NOTE: BF2 = Battlefront II, the successor of Battlefront)

The Good:
1. Navigation is hard to get used to at first, but becomes second nature very quickly.
2. Awesome infantry with many different weapon options including the concussion grenade (very cool), shock pistol and sniper rifle.
3. Great vehicles that are easy to pilot such as the AT-AT, AT-ST and snow speeder (and if you prefer head-to-head, you don't have to use the vehicles at all).
4. Wonderful worlds from the Star Wars saga including Naboo, Hoth and Geonosis (my three faves).
5. Different mission styles, difficulty levels and objectives create a replayable experience that rarely gets old.

The Bad:
1. Unfortunately, you can't play as a Jedi, like in BF2.
2. Not all of the worlds from all six movies are present (but this is understandable because of the time the game was made).
3. I've noticed that the sound gets mixed up every once and a while, but this is easily remedied by restarting the game.
4. There are not as many options for gaming as BF2. There are only three different types of options: Galactic Conquest, Historical Campaign, and just a single-player mode where you can choose the battle arena and what side you want to play for.
5. The controls are a bit hard to navigate at first, and I got the hang of it pretty quickly, but there are still things I haven't quite learned how to do yet.

This is my advice to anyone thinking about buying this game or BF2. Buy this game first, play it until you've mastered it on the highest difficulty level, then consider buying BF2. By that time, you'll have a better understanding of the controls and features of the game (which will eliminate the learning curve), you'll be ready for the higher skill level required for BF2, and the price of BF2 will have dropped some. That's my strategy and I think it's a good idea for every gamer that's considering this game. Anyway, buy this game if you like Star Wars, or even just like to play video games. It's really fun and addictive.

A very good star wars game. Graphics are above average and the gameplay is fun, although can get a little tiresome, as there isn't really a story mode of play to progress through.

Within the game, there are four factions to play as: the Empire, the Rebellion, the Republic and the CIS.

Within these factions there are multiple soldier classes like infantry, snipers, pilots, etc.- all with their different uses on the battlefield.
For example, whilst playing the Kashyyyk Docks map, snipers are valuable as there are high observation platforms to snipe the droids advancing up the beaches.

Most of the maps, Kashyyyk Docks included, are imaginatively created and fun to play. An example is the Tatooine Dunes map, boosting a dangerous Sarlacc pit and Sand People to battle against.

Also available on the battlefield are several vehicles which you can control. From the devastating AT-AT walkers to the speedy Jedi starfighter, there are vehicles on most maps.

Overall, a very good game in reasonably small doses as it can become tiresome.

This game works great on my aging computer (AMD 1900, 512 RAM, 128 MB video card), and it is now under $20 bucks. I enjoyed playing the single player games, but I like the on-line play even more.

A word about playing on-line: most of the people on-line are decent, however a few chat absolute nonsense/filth. Some of their screen names are even Alarming! If you have a child who wants to play this game on-line, I recommend that you get a second copy and play it online with them. Also, there is an option to "Vote to Boot" your mis-behaving teamates from the on-line game. I recommend doing just that when the bad apples start being bad apples.

The documentation, as in most games is a little lacking. So here is what I found out.
Switch Teams: by clicking the RED symbol over your to be spawn character.
Team Chat: by first typing "Y". Finish with [enter]. The text will be green.
Chat to All: by first typing "T". The text will be yellow.
Cycle through secondary weapons: "G"
Lay down: "X"
Crouch or stand up:"C"

Getting online is simple, and it is free. My friend plays this online with a 56K modem. This is a fun game for the Star Wars fan.

its NICE,graphics are good,fun to play,my friend is always begging to play split screen
heres a list of teams from best to last
1.CI$
2.repblic
3.empire
4.rebels

My 8 year old son bought this with his own money and loves it. Not too violent or scarey even though it's rated T. He loves it and would play it more often if I'd let him!

Can't say enough about this game. I love it so much, I've past it four times and still play it.

It's one of the best Playstation 2 games ever made. I think it's the BEST Star Wars game ever made.

The best part of this game is that you can be anything in the game. You can be any of the players you want to be. You can shoot any weapon you like. You can drive/pilot any machine in the game.

I've always loved the huge "At-At's" and wanted to drive one when I was a kid. Now I'm an adult and I've finally gotten to drive one. You can fly X-wing and Y-wing fighters, speeder bikes in the forest, or whatever else you've dreamed of driving/flying.

If you're a Star Wars fan like myself, you need to own this game! It's a must!

I don't know how anyone can rate this game less than five stars.
Thanks for reading!

This game really isn't that great. First of all, there's so much chaos and the graphics make it hard to tell who's who!! If it wasn't for the different color reticle (target indicator) I'd be shooting my own guys!!! I play on a 61" Sony TV and its still hard to make out the bad guys! Imagine on a 32 inch screen. Yikes!!!!

I bought this game 'cause I thought it would be fun to play in the wars that happened in the Star Wars universe. But, here's the thing. You can't change history. That's what's wrong with these history games. You can't change the outcome. You can only succeed, if not well you have to start over again. Being a sniper is utterly usless since the moment you fire on someone they see you and start firing at you and you are dead. You almost have to kill them with one shot and that's it.

This game isn't all that fun. But, since I spent the money for it ($15.00) I'm going to finish it. I don't like wasting money on things. And besides, I may get into this game and do a re-review on it. But, since the game is pretty much the same throughout; Stay alive, Capture Outposts, win at all costs, well there's not much room for improvement.

I heard that the Battlefront II is so much better than this one. Well, I may get it only because it's Star Wars. But, then again, I may just pass being that the first one wasn't all that great!!!

Disappointing. I've only had it a few weeks and have used up all the entertainment value I'll get from it. Just not that impressive in one-player mode. All the nooks and crannies and hiding places are pointless because the enemy does not attack, but waits for you to attack him. The levels are pretty basic, and don't stand up to repeat playing. Much of the game controls are clunky, especially flying.

Overall... some entertainment value, but a game that was clearly designed with multiplay in mind.

STAR WARS: BATTLEFRONT is a simulation game that allows the players to play various famous battles that occur in the STAR WARS movies. There are a wide variety of levels and though some are a bit more difficult than others, most are about the same difficulty. If you play the "Campaign" mode of the game, it doesn't take very long to beat (I beat it after only about 2 1/2 hours). The main reason I play this game is so that I can play with my family. Unlike the splitscreen version of HALO which places yourself against just one or two people, STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT gives you the option of placing your entire army against someone else's. This is a lot of fun and is especially entertaining and challenging when playing the "Conquest" option (which gives players various bonuses depending on how well they played before). In many ways, it's like a virtual galatic version of RISK. The only major negative thing about the game are some of the graphics: for instance, when trying to get a better view of what is going on in the screen I might try to move my character around to get a better angle, but what often happens is that instead of a better angle all I get is a see-through view of my character's body and no view whatsoever. Overall, this is a rather enjoyable game to play with other people and many STAR WARS fans will enjoy playing it.

this is one of the best games i have.you can get about 30 wepons.the game play is the best of the best. this game is werth $40.get this game.

When I was about 5 I couldnt get enough of star wars movies and toys, well now that im more older I dont like it that munch. While I was at a flea market I came across this game for 10 bucks. I heard that it was good so I bought it. I came home and put it and my PS2 and I was hooked!! And I dont really even like Star wars. I loved being a droid killy everything in sight. A very good selection of weopons and soldiers. I reccomend this game to anyone!!

the grapics sometimes can screw up and there could be more battle fields but al and all its a really good game(but star wars battlefront 2 is WAY BETTER!!!!!!)

This game is the most GETOLICIOUS game in the world. It's like grand theft auto all over again. Different gangs fighting one big battle. With the gangsta Luke and his father Vader. "Yo, Luke I'm joe fatha dawg". that was so cool in the movie. I bet all the guys who are under those helmets are geto.
Yoda's my home dawg. So u better watch out all u vader haters
PEACE OUT!:)

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAHA H A HA HA HA HA HA!

Wait a minute.................

WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA WHA!

Oh man, I wanted jedis and siths. But overall great game!!!

P.S. I gave educational value a 1 because you don't learn anything from playing video games! They make you become mush heads!

this game was alittle tough at first but after playing my son got the hang of it.then he went straight into galactic conquest.it got tough when he was two planets away.But its great for a while. Soon you'll get the hang of it and it will start to get boring. here is what makes it good.

PROS:
-good gameplay
-good graphics
-many options
-several ways to play

CONS:
-team isn't much help to you
-can't be a jedi

Now, I have not played Episode III or Battlefront II, but based on my other experiences...this game rocks.

I sat and played Battlefront for hours, and hours, and hours, more like 8 to be exact, per time. I thoroughly enjoy this title, and the modes are incredible...what's the best part of it now? The price! (...)and I think it's still worth the original price! X-Wings, Jedi, Wookies...sniping Gungans, they're all here! So do yourself a favor if you like first person shooters or any other war sim where you can control your men around you, and BUY THIS GAME! Go ahead, pick it up...I dare ya.

This game recieves a 10/10 from the staff at Phantom31017.com, and it is a definate must-have for any Star Wars fan.

Go...buy...now.

STAR WARS:
I am a hauge Star Wars fan and if you read this review, sometimes, you might have to change gears from a gamer who just plays games regardless, or a Star Wars fan who buys Star Wars stuff regardless. I like to play games for free time and I love Star Wars. So change your gears now.

GAMEPLAY:
Hi tech battlefield. The cool thing in this game is that you can control your teamplayers. For example:if you press the down directional button, you will command your team AI to follow you. Pretty cool. In other games, your team just follows you. A variety of weapons. You have to do the story mode to unlock characters. each character is asigned two weapons. Also, you can mount vehicles and run over droids or stuff.

GRAPHICS:
I don't know what you think butt compared to other games, this game has awsome clear graphics. And especially in battle games, when the field is intense, the clear graphics makes it clear to see your enemies. BEAutiful!

MUSIC:
Awsome score from the original Star Wars movies (4,5,6,) and from episodes 1,2,. The one problem with the music here is that it's missing my favorite the Duel of Fates. Still, they come up with some cool original songs.

THE DARKSIDE OF THE GAME:
Every game has it's fault's. The only ones here is in the graphics. The storm trooper helmet's are a bit too fat. Also, you are not allowed to play as Jedi. Death Star is not included and there are no space battles. If you pick a character, then you are stuck with two weapons. no changing unless you want to kill yourself and change. Jedi/sith characters are invinsible.

Overall a great game. I enjoyed playing it and i hope you do too.

I absolutely loved this game!

My friend let me borrow it and I was playing it basically every day. It's impossible to get bored of this game! When you beat the historical campain, you can always do instant action to have even more fun. The character choices are awesome. There are pilots, guys with machine guns, heavy weaponry guys, sniper guys, and guys with all different weapons. It's really cool when you have two people playing on splitscreen, because they can on the same team, or your enemy. There are tons of ways to play if u use your imagination! I haven't tried multiplayer, but i think it's gonna b awesome!

Pros:
Switch between 5 differnt characters on each team
Awesome weapons
Cool ships
Great battlegrounds

Cons:
None...

This game is great, best game ever in my opinion!

I got Battlefront a little more than a week ago and it is awsome. The graphics are sooooo cool. It's not that short, and it's not that long. How cooler does it get to shoot at everybody in sight. And it's so funny when you die. Several times when I got blown up to hell I would be rolling continuosly or falling down a flight of stairs. This is the best war game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you don't have it, you are probably in a galaxy far far away.

This is a great game for someone that doesn't like to play for long periods of time. For those of you who do play forever, I suggest you buy Battlefront 2. The graphics and soun are very good for a game made that long ago.

Wow, this is a nice game. I rented it at my local Blockbuster for giggles, and I was crying when we had to return it. The graphics are suberb. And when you hit someone, they die, none of the "I'm shooting him but strangley enough, he isn't dead" problems that killed me on SOCOM 2. But anyway, the weapon choices are really something. The gameplay will knock your socks off. You can play as the Rebels, the Empire, the Clones, and the CIS. Now for the immortal PROS and CONS list.

PROS:
1. Good weapon choice
2.Graphics are the best I've seen
3.Each player has different weapons and abilities, which I think is kinda clever
4. Lots of different maps
5. Downright fun to play
6. Three difficulty levels
7. I could go on and on, but now to the cons

CONS:
1. Lasers are kind of cheesy
2, That's it
So if you've got 20 bucks layin around go and buy this game, you won't regret it!

Star Wars!

Not only do you play as rebels or republic soldiers, you can play as the sepratist or as imperial soldiers. There is an online multiplayer mode and you have he "split screen" two player mode. The two player mode can help u on the campaign as well instead of battling each other head on.

in the campaign, there are two time eras: the clone wars (episode 1-3) and the galctic civil war (episode 4-6).
the first 3 levels of the clone wars you start out as sepretist droids. the rest of the lvls you are clones. sometimes jedi/sith "help" you out and slash lightsabers at your enemies. it doesn't help much, but it cool to have them around. Their moves look a little cheesy too. and when i say cheesy, i mean it's a piece of cheesy cheese. also, if you try shooting them, they block your moves. also, you are not allowed to control jedi of sith characters. the clone wars campaign was pretty short (7 lvls), and i haven't completed the galactic civil war campaign yet. the arrow pads are used to command troops. when you signify to follow you, only like 2 come with you.

graphics
overall great garphics, but the storm trooper (not clone trooper) helmets look very fat/cheesy. Some battles in this game are not exactly in the movie.

game play
the aim system is a circle in the middle of the screen if not aiming. if you zoom, it appears every thing is is closer (this only applies to 3rd person view) on 1st person view, when you aim/zoom, you are seeing threw a scope.
controls aren't that hard to get used to. the only thing wrong with this this thing is that when you choose to be a certain clone, you can't pick up any new items/guns.

overall

this was a great game and will last long (except for the clone wars campaign). there are extra things such as instant combat and galactic conquest but you don't need to know about those (now at least). the only thing i would want from this game is, that you would be able to control jedi and have duel lvls.

thanks for listening to my review!

star wars battle front is one of the best games that have been made on Ps2. It is not only fro star wars fans, it is also a great shoot em up game with heaps of different weapns and players to play as,worth paying the money for.

Star Wars Battlefront is a great game, despite a few minor flaws. Out of all the Star Wars titles I've played, it is by far the best. It offers all of the gameplay styles of the past Star Wars games, including battle on the aerial, vehicle, and soldier levels. You can fight as four sides on planets such as Bespin, Geonosis, Hoth, Endor, and Kashyyyk (One course, Rhen Var, was only in one short scene of Episode 3). The targeting and radar systems are good enough, but the missile lock-on systems are somewhat hard to use. You can fight as four sides, each with benefits and downsides.

Rebels: While the Rebellion lacks some of the firepower of the Empire, they have the best starfighters in the entire game. Their special unit, the Wookie Smuggler, can drop time bombs and shoot several enemies at once.

Empire: One of the best features of the Imperials is the ability to play as walkers- including the AT-AT, which can be used on Hoth and Rhen Var.

Republic: This group focuses mostly on heavy weapons, with armored tanks, walkers, and gunships at their disposal. They are very similar to the Imperials, but have better starfighters.

CIS (Trade Federation): Their vehicles are some of the worst in the game, but they make up for it with their droid soldiers. For the first time ever, you can play as the lethal Droideka, also known as the Destroyer Droid, from Episode 1.

There are only two real downsides to this game. The first is that you can only battle within your side's Era. For example, the Rebellion can not fight the CIS in a battle. Also, every mode of gameplay is almost exactly the same- you must kill enemy soldiers and capture their Command Posts - so the game can get repetitive at times. Still, I would highly suggest it for anybody with a PS2.

The battles in this game are kind of short, and, what's worse, winning them doesn't depend on the level of player participation! As one reviewer noted, you can win many battles in this game by killing one enemy, or none at all. Maybe it's different with online play, but I've not ventured into that arena yet, and have no plans to in the future.

The graphics are much like the CGI of most George Lucas films; they're kinda pretty and also kinda plastic and dull. The same goes for the sound effects. The laser blasts sound... well they don't have that much "ump." Also noted by one reviewer, the player isn't at the center of the action in this game. It's just an all around dull experience; I won't be renting the sequel.

Okay, you may not be a huge Star Wars fan, but still this game is awesome. I went to my friend's house and we played it in two player mode. At first you have to respawn every minute or so. But before long you can rule the battle field. There are two eras you can play in and both are fun. There are so many different troops you can play as you can play for months and not get tired of it.Then there are a ton of battles plus there are battles where you can go in all sorts of ships from tanks to speeder bikes to star fighters. If you are looking for a good game that will last a long time this is it.

This is a good game. It is great for non-gamers that stink because all you need is some practice and you will be killing 50 or 60 guys a level (and that's a lot after you play the game).

This game is rated T (for ages 13 and up) but it is not all that bad. You shoot the guy, he falls down, and he disapers, no blood no nothing. This is good for ages 8-12.

This game has good graphics, levels, and clips from the movie as cut-scenes!

This game will have you playing for months(thats the whole idea Right)!

This game is good. It has a lot of shooting and you get to be the dark side and the good side. It is 2 player and I battle my friend. You get to go to different planets where there are different guys to fight and you get to go in spaceships and vehicles.
