Wow This Game Is Bad

User Rating: 4 | Star Wars Battlefront PC

Sure the action, weapons, Star Wars lore and the engine performs well, but the few awful, lacking game modes are beyond putrid and boring.

In off-line mode, for instance, you literally have 8 maps/scenarios to play, every single one of them involves the same thing - run around shooting random enemies that pop-up on either side of the map and collect the "points" they drop until you win (gather 100 of them).

THAT'S it, other than "Hero battles" (do exactly the same thing but with "hero characters who have 3 powers!")

There is a "co-op mode" and "survival" mode - both are more of the same above - run around "surviving" for so many minutes on foot as enemies spawn and run at you - the same ones over and over, in the same small area .

There are no "objectives" or "capture points" or other strategic or fun node-based scenarios, the maps are all on one of what seem like the same 3 planets.

I got bored after a half hour. This and I assume Battlefield games are all about just running around shooting people randomly, that's it, that's most of what you do. The speeders are fun for a while but the game does nothing with them outside of multiplayer modes and the training mission - it's thin and repetitive, as is the simple and twitch-based "space combat."

I can't imagine taking a chance on another EA/Origin game at this point, this is as bad as it gets as far as let downs go.
