For such a highly anticipated title, they really phoned it in on this one. Character animations are woefully simple, weapons feel unsubstantial, and the pacing feels really off. Like the only time the story unfolds is during cinematics. It's just "shoot, walk, shoot, walk, shoot, cinematic, walk, shoot, cinematic, walk, shoot, walk shoot, end of level. I really wish they'd stop forcing all of their titles onto the Frostbite engine, it runs well enough but the versatility it offers is incredibly one dimensional. I was THRILLED they finally came out with a star wars game with a story line, but it's more like watching a short movie with long stretches of playing a carnival shooting game. Cover mechanics might as well be non existent. As if they wanted to make something so appealing to everybody, that it offers nothing of significance to anybody.
