No. I have the PC version. If your not big on online its boring. And from what ive heard the online part gets boring after a short time too.

If you have LIVE and like multiplayer games that don't really require much thinking, yes.

Wait for a $20 price tag. Then get it, it gets boring after a week, or at most a month. Besides, Halo 2 - 27 Days, Don't waste your money. :)

IMO, no rent it at most. i rented it and played it only 6 hours before i got bored.

It's a great game. I don't understand the fear of dying comment. Since when does anyone have a fear of dying when playing a video game? If he means he didn't care his character died a lot, then maybe he needs to get better at the game. Your stats post at the end of every round. You wouldn't everyone to think you're dragging the team down, would you?

If you like multiplayer games than get it for sure. I'm pretty sure everyone who's saying it's boring is only playing the single player. The single player gets bpring after you beat it once but it's the multiplayer that makes the game good. If you like star was and you like playing shooters online than you should love it.

I played it a lot for the first week then it got boring because noone strategizes on live to try and win. Rent it.

I see that it is a good rental game but not a good one to buy. Thanks everyone.

i meant it because it doesnt matter if you die... you have no permanent stats so it really means nothing to die since people mostly only look at their stats at the end of the game then quickly jump into the next one and you dont have an amount of lives before its game over in a round... so its just mindless running around and shooting things to me

Short story: Rent it.

If you like Battlefield 1942 but want the same online game with a Star Wars feel, SWBF is that game.

The single player campaigns are not much to do, you can blaze through the conquest in a few hours. But you can take a friend along in split screen.

I would say right now no. It's not worth it because Halo2 is coming out.

Its a fun game as long as you can find a lag free game. Which is very difficult to find.

It does suck when your teammates are idiots. I was holding down echo base against about four other players, setting up mine traps and what not. I kept asking for help, but all I got was "We're in the awings, we can't do anything."

Well, I'm good, but no one could hold that base against so many other players for more than ten minutes. We ended up losing by with a 8 to 3 count with them holding all of the bases. I scored higher than anyone on the match by a wide margin. Needless to say, I left that game.

But if you're playing with decent mates, it's fun as hell.

I played it I few times on live and it is pretty good but it is too easy. I haven't beat the galactic conquest and I am getting top kills on my team. It is really fun if you're playing with good people.

Why but it when you can save it to your box and save 45$?

Probably because most people like to play their games legally.

Don't even consider it as a SP game. Like someone said, its BF with Starwars only not as good. Its suposed to be a team based MP war game, but it sounds like no one playing is organized enough to get the team part of it. Thats what really sinks or swims these titles (team play).
