In one of my previous notes, the one about Star Wars, I've mentioned a new game related to this franchise which was going to be released. I've already had enough some time to test it, so I'd like to share my impressions.
First of all, the audiovisual aspects are stunning: you might have a hard time believing it's not a movie. The sounds of all the vehicles, blasters and explosions are really immersive!
Moreover, it feels like a genuine Star Wars experience, letting you relieve some of the scenes of the original trilogy, either as a mere rebel / imperial stormtrooper, or as one of the heroes or villains, such as Han Solo or Darth Vader.
Unfortunately, there are some things I did not like. The game seems to lack in content: it only has a few maps for each game mode, which might get repetitive after a while. It also falls noticeably short when it comes to weapons and gear selection in comparison to its competitors, namely Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and Destiny. It's a part of a marketing strategy, as four expansions are to be released in 2016 for a hefty total price of 50$: it's not an unusual way to make business in this line of entertainment, but it doesn't really make you the most liked games developer. Many people also complain that it's not complex enough to keep you interested for a longer period of time.
All in all, it's a game you can fall in love with, but will probably get you bored of you decide to spend more time with it without investing more of your hard earned money.
Well, what about Star Wars, then? Have you seen it yet? Oh, and one thing: if you decide to write about it, please remember to keep your post spoiler-free :)
