ShadowSam19 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I don't have a first hand account, but my friend bought it and says it awesome. And I don't believe its an average rts game, as it has space combat (a whole new dimension) as well many other different aspects, such as the "control and manage the whole universe" thing. In addition, it doesn't take as much micro-managing as other titles. Plus the SW thing adds alot, with many creatures, planets and classes adding diversity. If you want an average rts with just a star wars skin added, play galatic battlegrounds, though I actually enjoyed that game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelAssassin Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 i have the game, i am enjoying it aswell. There are a few problems with overpowerment example, the rebel artillery obliterates anything in its range strorm troopers, at-ats, even the imperials own artillery dont stand a chance. there isnt any resource collecting, you get money after each 'galactic day' depending on what planets your have and if you have any mines. A lot has been taken out of the game thats been found in various XML files and there are several mods being made that will make use of the content thats been removed. the space battle are where the game really is awsome. star destroyers, Death stars, Corvettes, x-wings, tie fighters, the Millenium Falcon and loads of other ships but no super star destroyer :( . And you can use the death star ingame (moves VERY slowly on the galactic map) if the rebels dont have red squadren to counter it then the planet and all your troops and buildings on it are as good as dead. The red squadren and death star become a game of cat and mouse towards the end of the game. i had a battle yesterday that lasted an hour as both teams had so many capital ships. And there is an awsome cinematic camare that zooms into the action and gives you awsome camera angles the land battles arnt really like any other RTS (with the exception of rome: total war) you have to move troops and tanks to a planet where you have space control, you can then land troops down and attack the enemy base. you can only use the troops you bring down in a battle, you cant build anymore, so you have to fight tacticly. As the defensive team you get a base that you have built previously (so if you didnt build a barracks or vehicle factory the only troops you can get are the ones that are stationary at your base. overall i would say that the game is good, not up there with AOE but its is still worth buying. www.PETAkillsanimals.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Pretty poor game. The first few hours are great, especially if you like Star Wars, but it has no depth, and hence it becomes boring. The most interesting aspect is the space battles, but they aren't very interesting. You can only control a few units at once and once these are dead you can instantly call in reinforcements. This means that battles can be drawn out for ages if both sides have massive armies, and the only real tactic is to move you ships around sensibly and focus fire on the offensive targets. It's a shame because this game could have been so much better. Obviously my opinion should not be taken as fact, but I don't think that this game is worth the price. It might be in a few months when the price goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianbur Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I haven't played it, but I read a review of it. They didn't give it a good review, and it doesn't really look up to much. Just a typical Star Wars cash-in probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
