LOS ANGELES -- Star Wars: Battlefront looks like a battle scene plucked right out of the movies -- only you're in control of the action.

Electronic Arts and DICE revealed a first look at actual gameplay from the upcoming shooter -- something fans have been screaming for since the game was first revealed. The goods are up at the top of this post.

There was a Battlefront video revealed at Star Wars Celebration earlier this year; that showed "game engine" footage from the planet Endor.

But that's not the same as seeing what a player will actually see in the game itself -- and the good news is this is just as impressive.

This five minutes of raw gameplay cuts back and forth between Rebel and Imperial action to give a broader sense of how a typical battle might shake out on either side of the conflict.

This footage comes from the level set on the ice planet Hoth, famously featured in Star Wars: Episode VI - The Empire Strikes Back. And it ends with what you might call the biggest match-up of them all.
