The highly-anticipated Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection officially arrives on Xbox in just a few hours' time (in fact, it's already available in some regions), and therefore the first reviews have dropped - including here at Pure Xbox.

We've kept our review unscored for the time being until we can test some 64-player online battles, but it's definitely going to get a positive verdict as long as everything works correctly at launch. But what about everyone else?

Below, you can see what some other critics are saying about the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection:

Pure Xbox (Review In Progress - Positive)

"If you’re not in it for online play, and only want to participate in solo and local play, we would argue the affordably priced backward compatibility versions offer more than enough. If you do want to relive the glorious online battles of yesteryear in a fresh package though, the extra credits of the Classic Collection may be worth the asking price."

GamingTrend (85/100)

"Battlefront Classic Collection may have a few quirks here and there, but it’s a solid release of both of these classic Star Wars games. Each one has something a little different to offer, and with the additions of the new maps and two new characters, it’ll be something I’d think most Star Wars fans would be excited to get their hands on."

God Is A Geek (8/10)

"Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection provides an authentic experience for Star Wars fans. Whether you’re upset the visuals haven’t been improved, it’s still a great shooter that replicates the excitement of those big scale battles you’ve seen in both the movies and the TV shows."

WhatIfGaming (8/10)

"Overall, this is largely the same classic Battlefront experience bundled for a new era. There aren’t many significant improvements or additions here (for the PC version), but dedicated servers will hopefully go a long way to ensure a healthy player base. This is the definitive way to enjoy these games whether you’re here for single-player or multiplayer content."

TechRaptor (7.5/10)

"Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection is a rather underwhelming package. It adds little to two already fantastic games, but what little improvements it does add (like upscaled textures and support for modern hardware) are nice to have."

Based on what we're seeing so far, it seems like Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection will sit around the 80 mark on Metacritic when all's said and done, which feels like a big success for a relatively unaltered port of two older games.

If you're eager to get back to these two classics ASAP, we've prepared a Battlefront Collection release times guide elsewhere on Pure Xbox - and you can pre-order the game on the Xbox Store right now for £26.31 / $31.49.
