My initial impression: Freaking amazing!
My experience: So there I was, just ripping apart the celephane wrapping on the box... with my Xbox already on, anxiously waiting to put the DVD in and bust some ewoks. Myfriend Tom Johnson calls me on the cell and screams, DUDE.. GET ON NOW! I hop on Live! tobe greeted with numerous Battlefront invites! (Gamertag: GooberDLX) ...
I jump into his server, him and his boss, with 10 bots and me with 11 bots. (24players with bots to fill the non character spots)... It was Hoth and I was Imperial!(Dark Side)... I selected a basic warrior and spawned at a snowy location with... :: drumroll :: an AT-STthat I could actually get into! Then I look up.. and see an AT-AT being attaked byTWO SnowSpeeders! All I could do was scream "Holy Shit! Did you see that?" There weretons of banthas, wookies, storm troopers, and rebels to make anyone drool! Thatwas only the beginning! I can't wait to spend more time with this game...
Pros:
Object models are stunningly realistic
Scenes are very accurate!
Scale of the vehicles are correct
Plenty of characters, spawns, and vehicles!
Objective based combat with awards system
Cons:
3rd Person default - though it helps in the game, its hard to get used to
Auto Aim default - turn the auto aiming off, shouldnt even be an option
< 60 fps - the game does look like it has a slower frame rate.
Some of the maps can be slightly small, while others are just right.
