Pros
Pro Fun team-based combat
Battlefront has fast-paced action and large scale battles between The Empire and the Rebels. There's a lot of shooting involved, so expect to see a flurry of laser beams overhead constantly.
Most of the battles involve taking or holding a location from the opposing side. You can move around on foot or jump using your jetpack, which is useful for scaling walls and hills. You can enter various vehicles such as the AT-AT walker, which makes for great fun.
When you die, you'll respawn after a short delay. This causes it to become a tug-of-war where one side slowly overpowers the other.
Pro Recreates many beautiful movie-like locations
Fight against the Empire or the Rebels in beautiful locations from the films, and visited and recreated by the developers: Hoth, Jakku, Endor and Tatooine.
Pro Split-screen co-op
During a current trend to leave out this feature, Battlefront includes local co-op where you and a friend can fight off waves of imperial troops and walkers. This mode is also available online as well.
Pro Iconic Star Wars characters featured
Play as favorite classic Star Wars characters. Luke, Han, Leia, Boba Fett, Darth Vader and the Emperor are all there.
Pro Gameplay is similar to the original games
The gameplay of Battlefront follows closely with the style of the original games, with fast-paced action and large scale battles for the fate of the galaxy.
Pro Solving puzzles is done in a unique manner by requiring the player to juggle their active player and skillset
Use the unique abilities of each of the three characters to advance through the story by manipulating objects on different planes, in order to solve puzzles that block the players’ progression. Being able to switch characters on the fly creates for many puzzles that are fun but difficult.
Pro 3-player online or local co-op actually helps in puzzle solving by combining thinking
Trine always has three characters involved, even in single-player mode. When you play alone you have to control them all. By teaming up with friends, each player can control a single character, helping you solve puzzles even more quickly.
Pro The use of vibrant colors and a cartoony art style show of the capabilities of the graphics engine very well
The graphics are three-dimensionally rendered with vibrant colors and a pleasing, cartoony art style. They give a real sense of the fantasy world they are meant to illustrate.
Pro All skill trees are refined to the point of every one being useful in some way
The more you play the more powerful your characters become. While there are fewer skills in this game than previous releases (they did away with skill trees), the skills have been refined to make sure that what is in the game is more useful. This shows a level of polish.
Pro Humorous dialogue gives some welcome reprieve from the puzzle solving
The chatter between characters and the narrator is well written and funny, making for an enjoyable presentation where the dialogue is concerned.
Cons
Con No campaign
There is no single-player campaign; and it seems there never will be. No rich story to go with our current generation Star Wars shooter. Only limited Co-op missions fighting off waves of enemies.
Con Expensive season pass
While some DLC has been free so far, like the Battle of Jakku; EA and DICE set a pricy amount of $50 for the season pass, bringing the total cost to over $100 just to purchase the game and season pass at face value.
Con The move from 2D to 3D shows a number of flaws
It's difficult understand the z-axis and where things are in space, which makes the puzzles more fiddly and less cerebral.
Con Somewhat simplistic combat
The game includes combat, but it is often overly simplistic in its execution.
Con Lacking story
The story is also unfinished, apparently the developers ran out of funds.
