Good graphics sure, but this game fell off of what the original battlefront was by a long shot. No consideration from EA when it came to purchasing loot boxes to obtain power in the game caused a major imbalance in the online multi-player modes. It's a lot of fun, until emporer comes on day 1, maxed out stats because some doctor has purchased loot box after loot box to gain skill damage and just wastes your team. It was a heartfelt attempt best was ruined by EA and their greed. Also, ANY game that requires you to login to an additional server to play, such as EA servers, is a horrible system and a bad idea. If you cant login to EA, then you cant play, if EA is down but ps5/Xbox servers are up, doesn't matter, you cant play. The game was destined to fail upon release but sold well do to its franchise name. EA should sell the rights. To think there is even a petition for a third game to be made is absurd. The production cost of a game this caliber will be in the hundreds of millions and selling 9 millions copies isnt gonna cut it folks. If you wanted them to make a third game, you have to appeal to their wallets. Which means that YOU are the puppets at the whim of microtransactions that ruin the game itself.

Fun game with one huge drawback though. The "economy" takes credits from you just for using the ships. Sometimes it's over 100k credits which makes it very difficult high end to earn credits unless you plan on playing battleships all the time. Would rate a 5 star if that wasn't in the game.
