The problem with Battlefron is that, while the engine is good, and the mechanics of the game are good, LEC rushed Pandemic to release the thing in conjunction with the damn DVDs. SOOOOOOoooo, what you end up with is a well built game, which lacks every single thing which would make it replayable beyond a couple of days. You cannot alter the conditions of play, the length of games, pit Empire against CIS, rebel against Republic, etc, etc. There's also no strategy involved in the game AT ALL. There's no reason to capture and hold command points, as EVERY game devolves into a deathmatch, usually centered on vehicles. IF LEC and Pandemic get off their asses and release the SDK, the game will be a fantastic play, and enormously rewarding. In its current state, I'd say rent it for a couple of nights.
