Look, I’ve made it quite clear that my experience is limited to the Space Battle mode. I haven’t played a single match of the trooper stuff. For all I know it’s a nightmare.
I’ll say this though - the space battle stuff is one of my favourite gaming experiences of this console generation thus far. Very clean experience, controls are on point, match length and dynamics are extremely well calculated always providing a sense of urgency. I fully expect to extract at least 50 hours from that mode, and probably much more if they keep adding maps at a decent clip.
That being said, I think I have unusual taste in games. I very much beer toward more arcade like experiences, especially on console. So far though, this mode of this game has the potential to join my top 20 gaming experiences ever. We'll see how it plays out.
