#26 – Star Wars: Battlefront (2004)

Developer: Pandemic Studios

Publisher: LucasArts

Release Date: September 20, 2004

2004’s Star Wars Battlefront provided the catalyst for one of the most famous Star Wars game series of all time. A multiplayer-based shooter, Battlefront catapulted players into huge Star Wars battles with the intention of allowing the player to feel as though they were a small part of something much bigger.

Battlefront was very popular with fans at release, although it wasn’t without its downsides. A lacking single player element combined with poor artificial intelligence gave this game room for improvement.

Despite this, Battlefront’s popularity couldn’t be denied, and the game scored a very respectable 82/100 score on Metacritic (PlayStation 2), which would be beaten by its successor a few years later.
