Would you like to take part in the most spectacular battles in the Star Wars franchise, or even turn them around to change history? Have you ever wondered how does it feel to engage in a dogfight with X-Wings, decimate the Gungans as a B-1 battle droid, or liberate Cloud City alongside Rebellion infantrymen? Well, wonder no more. Star Wars Battlefront 2004 awaits.
Released in 2004 by LucasArts and developed by Pandemic Studios, Star Wars Battlefront is a classic third-person shooter set in the Star Wars universe. You are a soldier fighting for one of the sides of the ongoing Star Wars conflict. Fancy a quick skirmish or a long-lasting campaign taking place on all key planets and star systems in the galaxy? Then gear up and let’s go!
The Gameplay
The single-player campaign takes place during the events spanning all five movies, excluding Revenge of the Sith, which wasn’t released at the time. With 4 factions from the original and prequel trilogy available – Galactic Republic, Confederacy of Independent Systems, Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance – you choose from 5 soldier classes and have a blast accomplishing mission objectives during the most-renown Star Wars battles ever – battle of Hoth, Endor, Grassy Plains or Kashyyyk, to name but a few. Each faction has a hero character – Mace Windu, Count Dooku, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader – which fights arm-in-arm with you and helps you achieve your goals.
You may switch perspectives, turning the game into a regular FPS. There are plenty of means to get by during battles – you have over 25 air and land vehicles at your disposal like AT-STs, X-Wings and hoverbikes, as well as other equipment, e.g. turrets. Additionally, the game offers two other modes of play: Galactic Conquest and Instant Action, in which you get to subdue all galaxy planet by planet, and jump into a quick battle, respectively. What’s more, a multiplayer up for 32 players is now available on the Steam PC version of the game.
