it's 2024 and I'm back to playing the
original Star Wars Battlefront games
like many others I have some fond
memories of the original Battlefront
games my older brother and I would spend
many early mornings and late nights
huddled around a CRT TV playing
Battlefront 1 and 2 in the dark on a
PlayStation 2 screaming with
excitement this year Aspire has brought
back these two classic gains and is
making them available to a newer
audience with the Star Wars Battlefront
classic collection going back to these
games nowadays is like time traveling
back to a simpler time for those who
wish to revisit these old memories the
games have been preserved just like you
remember but for those who have never
played these games or are more used to
Modern conventional Shooters these games
are a bit of an oddity either way Star
Wars Battlefront classic collection as
worth checking out as a fan of the
series and as a historical artifact even
though the games are 20 years old now
they feel older than that I haven't
played them since they first came out
but jumping back into them today
especially the first one can take some
getting used to for starters the
controls aren't the typical controls of
modern Shooters there isn't an updated
standard control setting that applies to
both games
the first game standard controls have a
fair amount of aim assist and sticky
reticles the hit detection can be way
off with some force abilities or
lightsaber hits feeling like they should
be connecting but aren't and some game
modes last way longer than your typical
Halo or Call of Duty matches which are
much
snappier but really that should be
expected with games of this era at the
time Call of Duty hadn't become the big
influence uential shooter Juggernaut
that it is today and multiplayer
Shooters like Halo and Battlefield were
still finding their footing discovering
what kind of styles and gameplay
mechanics their audiences enjoyed the
most Battlefront as in this same boat
with the developers still figuring out
what made a fun competitive shooter in
actuality the best part about these
games is the amount of features both
Battlefront games especially Battlefront
2 have a lot of single player content
that is still fairly impressive the most
notable feature as Galactic Conquest but
consider as well that Battlefront 2
which only came out a year after the
original Battlefront was able to add
Heroes versus Villains Space Battles and
refine the shooting mechanics getting
rid of stick reticles to make combat
smoother there's a lot packed in here
for those uninterested in playing online
multiplayer these games have a lot to
offer in terms of single player
campaigns that can be fun to play and
replay whether on your own or with a
friend
