The hum of lightsabers and the roar of TIE fighters, burned into the memory of a whole generation.

No gut pick here, so on to the detail. And it's the soundtrack that hits the ceiling: this 2005 Battlefront sits ahead of more than 90% of games on its OST, closely followed by attachment, ahead of three quarters of titles, and art style, ahead of 70%. The tension is right below: controller feel and the idea of taking it to a desert island drop under the middle. People love this game for what it stands for far more than for how it plays in hand. All of this rests on one to three votes per line, so to confirm.

Next to today's Star Wars shooters, sleeker and tighter, this classic bets on nostalgia, sonic identity and the weight of its universe rather than gunplay precision.

So, for who? For you if you love diving back into the golden age of galactic battles, soundtrack first. A lot less if you're after modern, tightly tuned handling.
