In multiplayer, this works to at least some degree.
Battlefront isn't just nostalgia for the 70s and 80s, but for the turn of the millennium too. Of course, that's partly the intention: the original two Star Wars Battlefronts were well-loved on console, even if they didn't quite measure up to Battlefield in the eyes of PC players. The confusing thing about Star Wars Battlefront - in any mode, though I'll be writing about multiplayer separately in a day or two - is how it looks like the newest, fanciest, prettiest game around, but feels like some PlayStation thing whose name you can't remember that you played with college mates in a boozy haze fifteen years ago.
