6.0Despite this being a disappointing re-release of beloved classics, I still had an enjoyable trip down memory lane playing the single-player content. That said, the minimal improvements aren’t enough to recommend at the current price.

Critic reviews
- Smash Jump5.0As a big Star Wars fan, I couldn’t wait to experience the praises of the original Star Wars Battlefronts, but as a gamer, I am let down by a mediocre effort made by Aspyr. Certainly the games have its charms in setting its missions based on epic moments from the Star Wars Saga, looking aesthetically great, and being able to play as fan favorite Jedi. However, these wonderful things are quickly bogged down by a myriad of performance issues, outdated shooter gameplay and overall jank.
- GameSpot3.0Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection is ultimately just disappointing. It's unclear whether it wants to be a remaster or a collection that preserves two major games from Star Wars' history, but in both instances, it fails. This is neither an accurate representation of what Battlefront and Battlefront 2 were, nor does it make enough adjustments to bring two decades-old games into the modern era. The result is a collection that's not really fun to play, and well worth skipping.
- SKNR.net6.0As it stands now; the collection comes across more as a work in progress that does show promise and hopefully will be given the attention and care that it needs to give fans the updated yet retro Star Wars experience they desire.
- Digital chumps7.5Still, Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection isn’t beyond redemption (one saving grace being that the game wasn’t steeped in the microtransaction controversy that accompanied the 2015 Star Wars: Battlefront release), and I think Aspyr realizes it, having announced a forthcoming patch to be delivered soon. This comes at a crucial moment for Aspyr, which lost out on the Knights of the Old Republic remake for Windows and PlayStation 5, and its parent company, Embracer, moving the project over to another studio. Aspyr, in turn, is under the gun to make Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection right, get the bug count down, and deliver the experience that was promised to an eager world of Star Wars fans. It wouldn’t be unheard of for a series of patches to make everything as it should be, but the uncomfortable question remains as to why this went out the door in the condition it was in the first place.
- Pocket Tactics4.0While the campaigns are nostalgic and fun to revisit, the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection is largely disappointing. The multiplayer mess feels inexcusable, robbing players of the basic fundamentals of a Star Wars multiplayer game. Not being able to finish matches due to crashes, struggling to even get into a game, and a lack of servers make this one of the worst multiplayer experiences I’ve had for some time.
Gamer reviews
STAR WARS: Battlefront Classic Collection
The game is pretty good. It is an upgrade to the original Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2, with a slightly better multiplayer and offline campaign. Hopefully, some fixes go through to make this game even better. It is a lot of fun to play with anyone and I hope more people get this game.
