It's got a rhythm to it that few shooters can match.

The match plays out in three acts: three sets of uplinks, three chances to damage the walkers, three paths in and out of the sprawling maps and three distinct stages. Basically, the game divides into two teams of two: the empire, marching slowly into some sort of rebel base with their massive AT-ATs, and the rebels, trying to capture uplink stations to guide their Y-Wings into attack the walkers, then unleashing on their targets with everything they've got when the Y-Wings bring them down. The best part about Walker Assault is the way it manages to weave a uniquely Star Wars narrative into the experience of competetive multiplayer. The single-player missions are actually pretty fun, mostly for how they let you appreciate this game's incredible visuals without all the stress of multiplayer.

The rest of the modes - Cargo, Blast, Droid Run, Drop Zone, two hero-focused modes and Fighter Squadron - feel like disassemblies of Walker Assault that can't quite capture the magic that happens when all these systems are working together. It's a frenetic firefight without the overarching structure to keep things in order, and it descends into chaos. Collecting these tokens will grant you access to Heroes or Villains - depending. There's plenty of other game in there too (well, not plenty, but definitely more), but Walker Assault is so far and away the actual Supremacy - the game's only other 20 v 20 mode - has all the bad about Walker Assault with none of the good. Star Wars Battlefront's Hero Tokens spawn in select locations of a map. Mostly, when I say that, I mean that I like Walker Assault.
