It's an amazing mod! The game had so much potential especially since the introduction of Clone Campaigns, but Expanding Fronts bring the game to a whole new level!

I was amazed, that from now on we have more playable fractions and a variety of unique units from across Star Wars stories (be it Kyle Katarn or Daala, Zann Consortium or Clone Wars series). A lot of efforts put into details and Star Wars lore.

It's fun to play through existing missions with these novices, as well as try new campaigns, such as Episode I and battle of Jakku.

This mod is definitely worth trying out for all who love Expanded Universe of Star Wars and beyond.

Dark Forces one of the first FPS I played. Even though some consider it to be a clone of Doom, it has its spirit. What could be better than exploring different locations from Star Wars and fighting off stormtroopers and mercenaries from all over the Galaxy?

While Star Wars Dark Forces was probably one of the first SW games I played in my childhood, Dark Forces II was actually the one, which showed what Star Wars was like besides the adventures of Luke Skywalker. It presented a much larger Galaxy with its variety of weapons, enemies and new locations, which became the setting stone for the next games, released years later.

I've been watching the mod for many years, and it was nice to see as the project was moving towards its completion. Set in not so distant future as a prequel to Deus Ex, the 2027 includes all the aspects of the original game, but also introduces new gameplay elements and graphics among other things.

Level Design. The maps are really good, be the European cities or remote locations like a secret base. You start your mission in a Versalife-like HQ and later find yourself in Paris. While it's the same city as in the original game, you are to explore a different region, which is much larger and includes quite a lot of places of interests. Here you can engage enemies in vivid shooting or remain silent, if stealth approach is more preferable.

I must be frank - the Moscow missions are the ones I enjoy the most. The developers made a good job recreating the underground station, the Pushkinskaya square, as well as some historical parts of Moscow centre. The feel is close to Paris locked down by MJ12 in the original game, dark and tense, while you can always sneak through tiny and cosy streets, sometimes meeting interesting characters (and sidequests).

The game has ties to the DeusEx, but you can also meet some characters from Deus Ex - The Invisible War here.

I hope someone will make a mod, which adds all dialogues to this wonderful modification.

When you play this game, you can expect:
- completely new locations like Paris, Moscow and Siberia
- new characters (new skins and appearances)
- multiple new enemies and allies
- new weapons (models)
- enhanced graphics and effects
- new plot with several endings
