I've been looking at this, as its a new game which my pc can actually run and thinking about buying it as it looks quite nice (for such low minimum spec). But i've never tried anything like this or Battlefront 1, and would like to know if theyre any good before i go wasting £20 on it.

Has anyone got this or tried it? If so is it any good?


Thanks.

Well graphics dont really bother me too much, with my pretty bad system, mainly looking for just good gameplay so will more than likely be purchasing it fairly soon.

I was on the closed beta. Not a bad game. tis huge in places but lacks something... That's it, the controls suck and the graphics look a little dated compared to the like of HL2/FEAR and BF2. It is a vast improvement on the original though and the space battles truly rock.

Pirates can have jedi's so it stands to reason that uber laser guns can too.

Online: IGN found the Jedi vs gun-wielder battles to be unbalanced on the PC version.

ie Jedi's get pwned when they really shouldn't.

Battlefront is basically a starwars version battlefield with small maps and crappy gameplay.

I didn't think much of the first one as it just seemed to have nothing to it, it was a simple spawn run shoot, areas were empty giving no real cover or they were based around on type of transport aand if you were in anything else you would die.

Running around as a little man felt crapy and as if the team that did it had never made a FPS style game, and yet Reblic command came along and was fantastic feel wise, if they combined the 2 then they would probably have made a bloody good game.

I have only played the first one and it ut me off the open beta a while back for the second one, i suggest you either wait a while for a demo of the second one or just chance it, they may have made improvements over the first one.

I might give it a whirl as i am running out of games to play now and should give it a try before giving a complete bashing of the new game.

I hope they have increased the size of the levels, and done something with the feel of the spaceships.
