Should I get Battlefront? Help me decide.

I would say pass on this game. It is just OK. INMHO. It get a 6.0 out of 10.

It is fun for a while and the fun of playing in the Star Wars universe certainly has it's merits especially for any Star Wars Nerd/Geek out there. The downside is that, at least in the beta, there is not much variety in the game. It get's very repetitive and old quite quickly. Being a Dice game I thought for sure that there would be some interesting elements that would make it so that every game is different and with lot's of wow factor. So for there is none of that.

The boosts and powers you get from leveling are only so-so, the guns do not differ enough to really make it worth spending all your time leveling up. It is annoying that to get the basic items, like the grenade, that you need to reach a certain level. The funnest part is when you find the power-up to play as Luke/Vader but only one person can do this and you have to be at the right spot at exactly the right time. It is mostly gimmick and fain fare.

If you were to take away the Star Wars skins and sounds the game would lose almost all of it's appeal. Game variety is even worse than Battlefiled: Hardline. I expected more from Dice and was very much let down.

The game is average but gets the extra 1 point above average only due to it's Star Wars universe facade.
