Star Wars Battlefront is a nice and amusing multiplayer shooting game for nostalgic people and those who never liked the remake.
Despite its age, it aged gracefully - the units are recreated pretty accurately, and the maps are big and detailed. As for the game modes, there's only one - conquering the map territory.
You choose your class, run around and shoot stuff, while conquering important strategic points on the map. You can cooperate with your AI teammates and, frankly speaking, they're not that dumb as you might think.
The game feels rather lacking with single player content. You get 16 missions across 5 movies (Episode III is missing because it wasn't released yet), and, also, the galaxy conquest mode.
Said conquest mode has a whopping number of 8 different planet setups, but most of them differ only in the way the planets are assigned to each faction at the start.
The unlockables are pretty poor too - some concept artworks, some prop photos. And most annoying that can be in a licensed videogame - poor quality stills from the movie. Ugh.
After more than a decade after its release, it is by no means a "must-play" (especially considering that the superior sequel exists), but if you're a fan and decide to spend 7-10 hours to unlock all maps, you won't have a bad time.
Overall, it's a fun distraction for lonely people - for a few evenings in a familiar setting of Star Wars. And if you have a like-minded nostalgic friend, you could try the co-op mode as well.
