Games & Gear : Star Wars: Empire at War

I cannot put into words what this does for the Star Wars universe. Finally, after years of waiting, we get a game that is worthy of the Star Wars Name. The Gameplay on this game is truely amazing. You are thrust into the Star Wars universe, amist a massive Galactic Civil War, a war between bitter rivals, the noble Rebel Alliance to restore the Republic and the powerful Empire. You suddenly find your self in the control of one of the two factions, the fate of the galaxy is in your hands. Also, the multiplayer is just amazing. Very few games have this level of multiplayer. I love it. Hide Full Review

This is the best Star Wars game I have ever played(and i have played a lot). The cinematic mode is awesome, and though ground battles are a bit long, they are still fun. The two campaigns require different strategies, with the Rebellion focusing on hit and run while the Empire is about full on assaults. The campaign carries a balance of stealth missions, combat missions, and missions with special objectives. In terms of space battles this the game to go to. The representation of the battles is simple, and there is no hassle in controlling your units. The controls are intuitive, and the gameplay is not too fast paced. This as I said, is the best Star Wars game in recent times, and one of the best RTS games of all time. Hide Full Review

If you have ever played Star Wars Rebellion you will love this game, if you have never played Star Wars Rebellion you need to get that game first, I base all my opinions of any game onto that game. The gameplay of EaW is very intense, fast paced, but very fun. Space battles are gorgeous.



Cons: First off this game is still $50.00 it was released too long ago to still be $50.00, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is only $15.00 at CompUsa so if you are low on cash get SC:CT instead of Star Wars Empire at War and maybe, just maybe LucasArts will drop the price. Hide Full Review

A decent star wars title. The space combat is well done, and has some variety. Ground combat is nice to look at, but if you want a good ground contol game, buy Dawn of War. Star wars ground battles quickly become to similar in style and mission. The campaign is fun, and some good planning lets you run rampant with the death star. One of the better star wars games in a while, but I find it's sitting on my shelf a lot now. I doubt I'll buy the expansion, but if you don't have the game, give it a few months, wait for some kind of gold edition, pick it up when the expasions packed with it, and you'll probably get a good buy. If not, 29.99 should be about all it's worth. Hide Full Review
