Aside from the fun and frantic Space Battle mode, the first Battlefront is vastly superior. The multiplayer conquest levels in Battlefront 1 are bigger and more densely layered with the small touches that bring them to life. The weapons in Battlefront 1 seem more powerful and the selection of weapons is vast compared to the pittance on offer in the sequel. The new Battlefront seems to want to restrict choice and variety, it frankly seems like a lazy and greedy mess. I can see myself putting more hours in Battlefront 1 rather than enduring this clumsy effort.
