Credits are the game’s loot chase, unlocking a gallery of better weapons and character models or upgrades to multiplayer equipment and abilities. Star Wars Battlefront jams its prologue into five unlinked “training” snapshots from the game’s four launch locales (Tatooine, Endor, Sullust and Hoth), each with unique starred goals that yield credits. The original Battlefront games had single-player campaigns, story modes that softened newcomers’ landings. Or queue up “Supremacy,” a rowdy 20 versus 20 tug-of-war that pairs iconic vehicles with infantry struggling to take and hold control points situated in vast, elaborate playgrounds. Or crank the difficulty setting to “Master” and attempt to survive as a hero or villain (like Han Solo or Emperor Palpatine) in grueling score-driven matches that require rapid strategic repositioning and vigilant, hair-trigger gunnery.
Or straddle a 74-Z speeder bike as an Imperial Scout, hunting rebels while darting between redwoods at perilous velocities that shouldn’t work in a video game but thanks to clever level design somehow do. Here you can wing through Beggar’s Canyon behind the stick of an X-Wing, dogfighting waves of Imperial fighters with silken controls that at times evoke the feel of developer Totally Games’ old Star Wars space sims.
