To scratch that itch, Aspyr's new Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection now provides polished, definitive versions of both original games. It just didn't feel like Star Wars: Battlefront. The series was eventually rebooted in 2015 (with a sequel in 2017), but the newer games failed to capture the nostalgia of the originals - they worry more about plot and, upon launch, getting players to commit to microtransactions. The First Battle of Geonosis like you’ve never seen it before. This resulted in two straightforward space shooters that offered several game mode options and (in the sequel) the ability to run alongside Darth Vader. The first two games relished in pitting good against evil, the scrappy Rebels against the fascist Galactic Empire (take your pick, Battlefront doesn’t judge). They're similar to other classic shooters from the PS2 era, like Medal of Honor: Frontline, in the sense that they've mastered simplicity. Though plenty of Star Wars games have come and gone in the last two decades, no one could ever forget Star Wars: Battlefront I and II. So I charge forward towards almost certain demise, and hopefully, victory. Then again, this is Star Wars, and one soldier’s life (cloned or otherwise) barely matters against the scale of a massive intergalactic conflict. Even as a Clone Trooper, clutching my Blaster Rifle and armored like a bug, I feel constantly exposed on the planet’s dry, open plains. The orange Geonosis desert makes for a motivating training ground.
