The sights and sounds of Star Wars are so recognizable that the series sits in the uncanny valley of popular culture, making even this minor inaccuracy a major one. The one exception is the voice acting, as hilariously bad stand-ins take the place of James Earl Jones, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford (the last of which sounds like he should be going on about 'da Bears,' not how he intends to take on Darth Vader with a blaster pistol). There are movie-accurate hails of sparks and vapor in every explosion, an epic John Williams-style score (from composer Gordy Haab), and distinctive TIE fighter screams and blaster fire squawks. At some point, we've all wanted to escape to a galaxy far, far away, and this is at heart a game that wants to give you that simple escapism.īattlefront looks and sounds marvelously authentic to that Star Wars nostalgia.
The marketing for Star Wars: Battlefront would like to remind you that you love Star Wars.
