“A classic bite size game that's not gonna take you an hour to finish a match. Still fun even if you're just playing with few people (3-5 of them real players) with bots. Also brings back a lot of childhood memories from…”
“This game has a special place in my heart: It was one of my first actual video games I have ever played back in early 2010s. Put tons of hours into it, don't know how many, since I played it with the CD. I do know that…”

“i like the diffrent game modes. the fac t that you can fly the ships like a tie fighter is cool. I like the diffrent characters. i don't like he fact that i cant be a jedi or sith. Overall i think its a great game, good…”
“Holy SNAP PC Hard Mode is no joke! I don't remember it being that crazy on console. Also, there's a framerate bug on the LAAT gunship which causes it to go SUPER fast for no reason. Apparently it can be fixed by locking…”

“this game is pretty fun. not as good as bf2 2005, but still good. they should remaster them. bf2 2005 has everything here but with prequel stuff too, and more classes and all that.”

“This is the best Battlefront classic. You can even crawl. It's clunky but still GREAT”
“Classic gem, better than EA's Battlefront, but BF2 (Pandemic) is better, this one is a bit more janky”
