STAR WARS™ Battlefront (Classic, 2004) Reviews

Classic and nostalgia core

Great game.

classic star wars bf. BUY IT

Super dated, but good for nostalgia

this may be a 20 year old game at this point.. however i find it to be better than the 2 EA battlefront games...

WATCH OUT FOR THOSE WRIST ROCKETS...wait they don't say that in this one, damm.

surviving cloud city is a rite of passage to endure the hardships of adulthood

The maps have a nostalgia factor, but the AI is so genuinely bad at every turn. Friendlies wander in front of your bullets and grenades, enemies hide in random corners of the map instead of fighting, the droidekas are so ridiculously unbalanced. If you need your nostalgia fix just get BF2 (2005).

I have a lot of nostalgia for this game, and it still plays pretty well out of the box on this platform. Looks like multiplayer is dead, and the bots are... OKAY. Playing on standard difficulty they are a bit too easy. Playing on hard and they are a bit too hard (the enemies get drastically increased accuracy, while your soldiers lack it - In a 16v16 match, that counts for a LOT, and you can get a massive amount of kills and still not make up for the lack of your team's ability and lose anyway). I haven't played the newer battlefronts, but I think its safe to say this game, which I enjoyed very much, has now aged out.

"Just one more match" — me, 3 hours ago This game? Pure nostalgia. But it’s more than that. Yeah, it’s from 2004. The graphics are dated, the menus creak like an old PC case, and the AI still sometimes forgets how to shoot. But the feel of it? Still unbeatable. You drop into the middle of a chaotic battlefield — stormtroopers and rebels everywhere, tanks rolling through, starfighters dogfighting above your head — and for a second, it’s like you’re in Star Wars. The class system is simple but satisfying. The maps are iconic: Hoth, Endor, Kamino — every one has that “just one more round” effect. You can switch from soldier to pilot, jump in a speeder, grab a turret — it’s controlled chaos. The kind of game where you go from capturing command posts to crashing a snowspeeder into an AT-AT because... why not? Multiplayer is hit or miss these days (depends on community servers), but honestly? I don’t mind playing solo. Instant Action still slaps. It’s that old-school fun where it doesn’t take itself too seriously, but you still feel like a hero when you clutch a match with 10 reinforcements left. If you played this back in the day, it’s like opening a time capsule. If you haven’t? Just know it’s a classic for a reason.
