I've started playing the new Star Wars Battlefront Beta, and I've got mixed-to-positive feelings about it.
First off, the game looks beautiful, even on the lowest settings. Some of the best graphics in gaming at the moment, which for a game which requires such processing power is saying a lot.
Secondly, it really feels like you're in the movies much more than the other two games. Now I love the other two games, the second being one of my favourite games of all-time, but they don't exactly feel authentic and close to reality. This game nails that.
The game plays smoothly, the small details like sound and design are great, so what is it that I don't really like about it? Honestly, it's the currency system that really annoys me. A currency system has been proven to be a failure many many times, and yet EA insists on adding it. The game would be fine without it, and it's annoying to grind for hours just to unlock one item and start again, and I'm sure EA will implement a way to pay real money for a sum of in-game currency.
There are some other stuff, like the Walker game mode is horribly unbalanced in favour of the Imperials, but to me, the good stuff more than outweighs the bad.
