However, it's the online multiplayer element of Battlefront that's really getting us excited here today, with two of the 16 maps fully playable - Endor from Return Of The Jedi and Kamino from Attack Of The Clones. Once you've conquered a planet, you unlock special bonuses to use in later levels, such as the Star Wars NPCs Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, who can bum through multiple enemies with their unique lightsaber weapons.

These include Hoth, Tatooine and the Wookiee planet Kashyyyk from the upcoming Star Wars Episode III.įinally, there's the Galactic Conquest mode, where you can create your own custom campaign and set off on a quest to rule the entire galaxy. Instant Action is just that - you can get straight into the battles and fight for any of the four factions (Imperials vs Rebels, or Clone Army vs Confederacy of Independent Systems) on any of the game's ten planets. First, the HistoricalĬampaign mode provides a story-based 17-mission experience across both the Clone War and the Civil War.

As well as shipping in legions of Stormtroopers and Rebels, LucasArts has set up tents with a 16-strong PC LAN, where I can sit and blast away at US journalists and the inhouse development team.Īlthough Battlefront is predominantly a multiplayer game, there are still three single-player modes for those less sociable gamers, with the ability to call on your Al squad-mates using simple one-key commands such as Follow Me' or Hold Position'. It's 7.30 in the evening and I've just arrived via minibus (complete with piped Star Wars music of course) to the Battlefront event, where San Francisco's National Park - the Presidio - is doing a mightily impressive job of doubling for the forest planet Endor. You can choose any side or soldier and jump right in. We're putting people in the middle of the battle, giving them the ability to use any vehicle and be any character they want.

This is Star Wars meets Battlefield 1942, says a brutally honest Zemke. Star Wars Battlefront could well be the game that the hordes of rabid Lucas fans have been chewing their replica lightsabers for - a first- and third-person squadbased multiplayer shooter set on locations from all six movies and the extended universe. We like being evil, says LucasArts' David Zemke, as he lines up his Scout Trooper's sniper rifle sight at an Ewok and downs the cuddly creature with one sharp blast to the head.
