A Fresh RTS [Posted on 2007-01-09]
different units in this game are very well balanced out. For this reason, it is difficult to produce only one unit and try to overrun the opponent. The method of reinforcement is also different than anything I've seen before. Units no longer appear outside their respective structure but can be brought out onto the field at different locations, changing the tactical dynamics of the game. The ability to hold units in reserve without having them take up population points also changes the dynamic. Different units can be used better tactically because of this.

Overall the game is very enjoyable and well worth the price. It is surprisingly good for a Star Wars franchise game.

More Star Wars [Posted on 2007-01-09]
My 15 year old can't get enough Star Wars. He is happy with this one and there is an expansion pack available, too. The price is a huge savings over my retail store finds- love that!

Star Wars Strategy as it should be [Posted on 2007-01-09]
For those not familiar with Star Wars strategy games, Empire at War combines the best aspects of all the previous titles. It is a definite improvement over Rebellion, incorporating part of its interface and making it more accesible, as well as simplifing many of the aspects of galactic managment. The tactical space battles are superb becoming by far the most entertaining aspect of the game. The tactical ground mode is also OK, using simplified resource managment as in Force Commander but with a friendlier interface such as in Galactic Battlegrounds. This is the Star Wars strategy game fans have been waiting for more than a decade.

A delight for RTS & Star Wars fans. [Posted on 2007-01-11]
This game has all the elements of a good real-time strategy game and most of the heroes from the early Star Wars movies. It also has a smart storyline which connects the prequels to the original films. There are both space and land battles, but the space ones are far more elaborate and fun. The only problem with this game is the mutliplay. It uses the Gamespy network, which is notoriously unreliable, and doesn't force patch compliance. This means that there are usually very few players online sharing the same version and connections are laggy or simply not available. Just the same, this player fully enjoyed the single-player campaign.

Empire at War a Great Game [Posted on 2007-01-12]
So far I only play the tutorials and one mission but the game is amassing, the graphics the control. You are in the world of Star Wars is very addicting and very fun I really recommend this job, buy it.
