The original and certainly the most defining version of the legendary Star Wars Battlefront series. I own almost all versions. I skipped the 2015 remake. It's this version, along with the STAR WARS™ Battlefront™ II remake, which I keep returning to replay endlessly.
Older sister core fundamental. Loading screen makes me incredibly happy. Every single time I drop in I am triangulating something. Will I get to the bottom of it? Probably not. Highly Recommend. :)
