<div class="IPBDescription">Dosen't suck!?</div> I was totally expecting this game to suck. Badly. But after getting it I am totally persuaded otherwise. Its as if it were battlefield...but done RIGHT. It is very fun and I'd suggest this to everyone. I was thinking it was be like the battlefield mod , but Its totally different. The core gameplay is the same, capture and advance, but it is ALOT faster and its possible to rack up alot of kills very quickly. Vehicles are amazingly easy to control and fun to use. You can even dodge and roll, use third person view, its fantastic. I had to stop myself for a few minutes and take a break off it and write this. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Does it have multiplayer? What's it like?

The fill up the levels on or offline, making it appear visually that you are a member of a grand force. A grand stupid force, the 433rd Idiot Legion, a futuristic jobs program for social detritus. You can't be proud of the **** these guys do. You'd better run your **** right over to those speeder bikes, because one of those **** is already on his way and he'll put it to no good purpose. They don't mind getting out if you want to get in, that's nice. But the all the livelong day they just do the stupidest ****, and for all the epic trappings and swelling music you are shooting fish in a barrel and that doesn't make a person feel heroic. When I heard about the special units for each side, the "heroes," I think I assumed that these were player controllable Super Classes that might be earned in some way. No, they're just more idiots - except it's an idiotic version of Darth Vader or something else you used to think was cool. Darth Vader in a corner, running, forever running, swinging his lightsaber at enemies which either do not exist or are so small we probably don't need to worry about them.
It's possible that there's a server out there with No Heroes and No Artificially Intelligent cannon fodder that avoids these complaints, which would create an experience a little more like what we're used to on the PC where there is no shortage of good capture and hold games. I was pretty excited about Battlefront, you'll soon see the ads I accepted for it in that idyllic period before release - I'm going to try it on one of the other platforms and see if it's a better fit before I give up on it.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I wait for a demo. I usually feel the same way as Tycho does about a game (apart from <i>Myst</i>), and I pick up an undertone which suggests dissatifaction. I'll see how it goes.
If it had come out in August, I'd have probably snapped it up.
check out this droideka mowing down a gungan >:D

Don't think so.
Regardless, I think I'll stick with Galactic Conquest for free. When I have SPARE cash, I might buy this... but tbh I'd rather spend my norma money on Evil Genius, or save up for nightmare of this winter where I'll see GTA, MGS3, etc...
Don't think so. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
The thread title would imply that the author was surprised that this star wars game didn't suck. Unless he really was asking a question of everybody, and none of us have been polite enough to answer it. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

A few sites gave the PC version a lower score then the consoles. The X-Box review had .1 more points then the PS2 one.
Star Wars technology is pretty advanced. They've got lightsabers!
