I picked this up on Friday night and I have spent around 8 hours on it so far. I have mixed feelings about it to be honest, it looks incredible, the draw distance on the maps and just the look and feel of the environment is outstanding.
Some of the maps are better than others and the same can be said for the game modes, I've tried all of them and my personal favourite is Supremacy which is kind of like a cross between Conquest & Rush on Battlefield.
There are some really epic battles when both teams are fighting for the middle of the map, and it definitely feels like a typical Star Wars battle with blasters firing all over the place, AT-ST's rocking around, X-Wings & Tie Fighters flying above you etc.
My main concern is that the game just feels really light on content. I thought Destiny was light on content but this is even worse than that. The single player starter missions can all be done in under 3 minutes and there are only 5 of them. The other 10 missions are all the same thing in a slightly different map and they only take a few minutes each too. It's frustrating as it just feels very empty, it shows you a very short cutscene and then plops you into the mission and before you really get a chance to get going the mission is over and you're left feeling ripped off.
There is absolutely no story or anything else and it feels like the missions are just there as a bit of filler. There are only 4 maps on multiplayer but the maps do vary depending on the game mode, the same as Battlefield did. So if you play Endor on a deathmatch type game you are in a different part to if you play it in Supremacy.
The hero elements are good, it's great becoming Darth Vader / The Emperor / Boba Fett mid match to really turn things around for your team. There are some exciting game modes as well where you just play as heroes and that is really good fun too.
Overall I'm not sure how long it will last for me, there are only 21 guns to unlock in the whole game and about the same again in perks, I've already got 1/3 of them so I'm not sure what longevity there will be once I have got all of them.
I think it will give me something to do when I have an hour to kill, but once Just Cause is out I think this will be shelved.
