Head out on the mission itself and it's no less spectacular. The sheer joy of sitting in the cockpit of an X-Wing is probably enough to do that, mind. There are scores to chase, which offer you an excuse to go back. The toys never looked this good, and to sit in the cockpit of such an exquisite model is quite the eye-opener. Glance around the cockpit and for anyone who's ever spent lonely Saturday afternoons running around their living room with a Kenner model in their hands it's something of a revelation. Much was made of the photogrammetry used in the building of the main game, and that approach - whereby the assets are pulled in many instances from the film props themselves - comes into its own here. That's the joy of Battlefront in VR, really. It's been rendered beautifully, the detail even more impressive once you're sitting in the cockpit where there are so many delightful incidentals - you can push pretty much any button, pulling up the targeting computer or shifting the S-Foils into attack position with the appropriate whine from Lucasarts' soundbanks.

The mission starts with a tour of an X-Wing fighter, which you're free to investigate from various different angles. It's a fleeting and fairly shallow single mission set in the heavens that takes Battlefront's Fighter Squadron mechanics and wraps them up in cotton wool while dousing it all with a fair splash of spectacle. A playthrough takes no longer than 15 minutes, and in truth there's not much reason to return to it when you're done. The Battlefront VR experience that's just released as a free expansion for owners of DICE's shooter is short.
