Say what you like about Star Wars Battlefront's lack of content, but there's one thing you cannot deny; when it comes to 'magical moments', DICE's creation is head and shoulders above the rest, and it's largely down to the sheer Star Wars factor. Gameplay-wise, Battlefront stands above the crowd, but the fact that you can enjoy it all in a universe so gorgeously adapted for gaming takes it to the next level. The maps are stunning, but seeing the characters come to life on-screen is simply beautiful. Whether you're a nameless rebel or faceless stormtrooper, the characters feel alive, while there's a handy selection of heroes and villains who can aid your cause on either side of the force. They don't come along often, but it's always great fun hopping in control of Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and the explosive Boba Fett among others. Of course, Battlefront's reliance on DLC has been well-documented, but the potential is huge. We're going to be seeing more maps and weapons dropped into the game from the existing Star Wars films, plus an exciting boost from The Force Awakens. But we're most looking forward to new heroes and villains to charge into battle. Who do you want to see?
