The "Star Wars" franchise finds itself in new territory as a large-scale first person shooter title that emulates the Battlefield series, but just how do fans receive it?

There are "Star Wars" games that have been fairly successful, however Star Wars: Battlefront will be a first for the franchise in terms of genre. The style was enough to peak the interest of fans of the movie series and FPS gamers alike, but does the content scratch beyond the surface? Here are what some critics have said about it.

Gamespot

Gamespot finds the content to be fairly shallow, as there isn't much to be excited about beyond the first couple hours of gameplay.

"If nothing else, Star Wars Battlefront is an exercise in pure spectacle, laid out in all of its neon glory ... The first 10 hours are packed with these moments, and it's worth playing just to watch them unfold. But Battlefront doesn't go much deeper than its ambitious surface appeal. It front loads its best content, only to fade in quality as the hours roll by. Star Wars Battlefront's skin is beautiful, but its legs are shaking, and threaten to buckle with time."

Giant Bomb

Giant Bomb cautions players to not expect much more than a flashy Star Wars FPS.

"If the impending release of The Force Awakens has you in the mood for a casual online shooter set in the Star Wars universe, this game can certainly provide that for a dozen or so hours. Battlefront initially checks all of the boxes for being a great Star Wars game, but its limited amount of content and lack of meaningful progression kept me from wanting to return for more than a brief visit."

GamesRadar+

Despite the simplistic style of the game, GamesRadar+ is still incredibly impressed with the final product.

"Rarely has any video game pushed pure, uncomplicated joy so forcefully to the fore. Sure, as a shooter, this can be rigidly simple at times, and does occasionally leave me yearning for something a little more complex and involving because I'm that guy who spent the rest of 2015 playing Destiny. As a wonderful recreation of some of my most cherished childhood fantasies (and you will feel the same, such is its universal appeal) Star Wars Battlefront is an absolute triumph."

VideoGamer

VideoGamer believes there is something for all gamers to enjoy in the title despite the lack of content.

"Star Wars Battlefront, then, is one of the best experiences of the year, if only for a short while. Completionists may stay with it to unlock figures for the in-game diorama which shows how many challenges you've completed, but others will find their interest has waned long before that. Too limited in its maps and modes to keep people hooked, it will nevertheless provide enough fun to jump onto once in a while, hear that famous score and maybe take down an AT-AT. Those who wanted a Battlefront III, however, will have to wait a little while longer."
