First off, the positive notes: this game looks gorgeous and the soundtrack is fantastic. You really do feel immersed in the Star Wars universe. This makes it even easier for the awful gameplay to ruin your love of Star Wars. There's about 10 weapons that all play the same and one hand cannon that is impossible to beat. The hit detection is the worst I've ever seen in a game. There's no way to counter many of the cooldown based weapons, so you'll die a lot without having made any errors. The game's been hacked and there'll be somebody in just about every match with astoundingly good aim or map awareness. You'll routinely spawn into groups of three to five enemy soliders or get sniped before you can even move. I tried to stick with the game and see if my love of the Star Wars universe would win me over but this game is unplayable.
Best Buy also sold this as a download code in a box, so you still have to go through the painful Origin download without getting the better refund policy.
