 Star Wars: Battlefront (xbx: 2004): Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Game-play for Star Wars: Battlefront, although not quite as polished as I’d like to see it, is a gaming experience that is rivaled by few in its genre, especially when it comes to Xbox Live.

 Star Wars: Battlefront II (xbx: 2005): Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Battlefront II is a good sequel, but it's got too much in common with the first game to make the upgrade a no-brainer.
Battlefront II easily conquers the first game with wise detailing on the levels, as well as fun modes with Conquer the Galaxy and lots of multiplayer options.
Battlefront II is also a great way to recreate those childhood fantasies of being smack in the middle of Hoth, Mos Eisley, Dagobah and the like, but in order to really experience the fun the game can offer you will need either a bunch of friends to play with or an Xbox LIVE account.

For the first time in gaming history, after countless games depicting various aspects of the rich Star Wars universe (including some we never wanted to see), players have the chance to step into the boots of the average soldier in the wars that raged across the galaxy.
There are three different game modes to play: Historical Campaign (featuring a series of "historical" battles from the Star Wars mythos), Conquest (in which players vie for dominance of individual planets) and, of course, Instant Action.

 Star Wars Battlefront Review
So it makes sense that when a new Star Wars game comes out, it invariably is met with loads of anticipation by the unwashed masses who want to capture the true feel of the Star Wars Universe in a video game.
The single player recounts various campaigns in the Star Wars universe, from the Droid and Clone Wars, to the Rebellion and beyond, and an addition called Galactic Conquest, where you can essentially rewrite the movies by attacking and conquering the various planets one at a time.
When all is said and done, this is a decent game that captures the epic feel of the massive Star Wars universe in one box, but the delivery certainly leaves a lot to be improved upon.

I was seven years old when Star Wars first came out, and I can still vividly recall reenacting the scenes with friends in my back yard — blasting our foes to smithereens with imaginary laser rifles and light sabers while saving the galaxy.
With the release of Star Wars: Battlefront by Aspyr, you can now relive those battles on your Mac.

It’s a dream come true for any Wars geek, old or new—that is, if you can handle the choppy action that looks like someone is stop-motion-capturing plastic Darth Vader action figures.
It helps a lot that the fields are littered with dumb computer-controlled bots—they provide lots of cannon fodder and the illusion that the battles are huge and epic, straight from the films.
