Great game!

Star Wars: Empire at War is a rather entertaining game with a lot of replay value. The graphics for the game are very well done with lots of sounds that you would hear from the Star Wars movies. The game itself has an entertaining campaign mode for both fractions in the game. The other single player modes such as skirmish battles have some maps that are rather uneven. Taking control of certain points as soon as you can for its resources or power ups can easily turn the tide of battle for you or your opponents. Even though the game itself is tailored to a certain crowd, people that are unfamiliar with the Star Wars Universe can also enjoy the game.

There are two different fractions in the game. The Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance. Players can also control familiar heroes and villains such as Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. Both sides have advantages and disadvantages. Each fraction seems to specialize in opposite battlegrounds. Empire in space and the Rebels on the ground. I'll break down each sides ground and space units starting with my personal favorite, The Empire.

The Empire's space units compose mostly of heavy ships like the Star Destroyers and frigates. They are lean and they are mean and can stand up to lots of punishment. Even with only 20 points worth of ships can appear on the map (assuming the player's aren't running any mods)they prove that quality beats quantity. The only problems the Empire have in space, their ships cost a little bit more than the Rebels and takes a little longer to build a fleet. But it is worth the wait for the awesome fire power the Empire delivers in space.

The ground units for the Empire seems to lack diversity. You have your Stormtroopers, light tanks and heavy tanks. Not much to really

The game is a fairly nice game, not too hard in any way. I think its kinda fun controlling your troops rather than playing as one man. It's not a new game, so it doesn't have that good of graphics, but i think you should get it if your into real-time strategy games.

One of the greatest RTS games(at least in space) of all time.

This game is great. it deserves a 10 because the game is still being tailored to by fans even though its been almost 6 years. i have been playing this game for 3 of those years, and i enjoy the game still. the amount of mods there are for the game, the community support, its awesome.

The space battles, best ive ever seen. Skirmish battles, usually i auto resolve unless its a major battle, theyre generally not fun.

This is a pure joy to play. The strategy of ground and space in one package, who else has ever done that? With the open coding to allow mods keeps this game alive as well. It would be really nice to see a Babylon 5 mod at some point...

Pretty Good Game!

I love the fact you can choose Empire! Finally, game where Star Destroyers and Stormtroopers are on MY side! Well, I know Battlefront 1 and 2 also have it, but you can't control an entire fleet of Star Destroyers! 1st Strategy game ever played actually!

Good game with OK graphics for the time, but amazing gameplay. Buy for the mods.
