The narrative gives you a real sense of purpose as to your objectives, and itвЂ™s easily the most popular game mode available on the beta. The latter is where you get to relive the glory days of BF2 by tying up an AT-AT with your little snowspeeder before it can blow up the rebel shield generator.

The beta comes with both online and offline gameplay, with two online modes: a Star-Wars skinned вЂZonesвЂ™ mode, capturing drop-pods in team-based combat and вЂWalker AssaultвЂ™, the Star Wars derivative of the objective-based game mode Battlefield has been rocking since the days of Bad Company. Suddenly you feel like youвЂ™re back in an arcade, particularly in conjunction with the big neon power-ups dotted across the map, turning you into anything from Darth Vader to an X-Wing to вЂthat dick on our team who canвЂ™t use artilleryвЂ™. Holding the aim button just zooms the camera rather than steadying any shaking or making you more accurate, so thereвЂ™s no advantage to using first-person.

You start in first-person mode, with all of the brutal aspects that BattlefieldвЂ™s influence has had, but holding down on the d-pad zooms the camera out to the classic third-person view of PS2 Battlefront. However, basing my review off the initial impression would be an injustice to the flexibility that Battlefront allows you. The graphics are very sharp, and we get to see some real next-gen power being used when the battle heats up, and plasma and laser fire starts streaking across the map. This is the origin of the brutality: grenades look as beautiful as they are deadly, vibrations and camera shakes give you a real sense of being fired upon (particularly in the Hoth trenches), and there is generally a sense of being at war rather than being in the meat-grinder of the old Battlefront multiplayer. The initial impression one is given when thrown into a game is a Battlefield game with a very good Star-Wars reskin. 'We are talking 40 player plasma-charged carnage complete with AT-AT stomps, force-chokes and bullshit kill-steals.' We are talking 40 player plasma-charged carnage complete with AT-AT stomps, force-chokes and bullshit kill-steals. What I am trying to capture with this recollection is just how fucking brutal Star Wars: Battlefront is. When we were playing Battlefront, this scream was happening all the time. Imagine the reaction of a cat on a rollercoaster as it swung round a particularly sharp corner and youвЂ™ll get the idea.

ItвЂ™s got vibrato, itвЂ™s got emotion, itвЂ™s got poise and shape. When we are gaming, for example, Anthony has a genuinely world-class вЂstress-shriekвЂ™, a squawk that emerges rapidly from his staccato chant of вЂnononononoвЂ™ when under serious pressure in combat. When you know someone a long time you pick up on nuances on their behaviour, and they give you insight as to their feelings on things. This seems like an odd way to start a review, but bear with me. ItвЂ™s right and proper behaviour for a gamer. IвЂ™ve known him a few years shy of a decade, and together weвЂ™ve travelled from the plains of Planetside 2 to the galaxies of EVE Online, swearing far more than necessary and shamelessly baiting anyone who tries to heckle us in a foreign language. I have a school-friend called Anthony, who is one of the few people from that time that I still regularly game with.
