It's Not A Jedi Mind Trick- An Excellent Star Wars RTS Is Finally Here

by billservo , Nov 27 '01
Pros: Solid RTS engine, recognizable Star Wars units, robust network play.
Cons: Minor sound problems and mouse behavior.
I'll go ahead and blame this on my console upbringing, but I could never get into real-time strategy (RTS) games. I have a hard time waiting for that "perfect moment" to unleash fury on enemy bases then in the heat of the battle I never feel I have the...

Is there a word in Wookiee for Happiness?

by GravityGirl Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 30 '02
Pros: easy to learn, fun if you have played AOE2, much much more.
Cons: none worth mentioning except for some annoying sounds
I have been hit with Star Wars fever. After having seen Episode 2, I am now fervently trying to figure out what is going to happen in Episode 3. I have gone so far as to rent the trilogy looking for clues. I know that if I was a true fan, I would own...

"They Won't Be Around for the Sequel."

by c_squared_smm , Jun 30 '02
Pros: It's possible to control six of the major Star Wars races.
Cons: They all play the same. There are also some technical issues. Same old RTS gameplay.
Well, I won’t, at least. Particularly if the sequel is of this quality.

Being a very big Star Wars fan, I was very excited about this game when it was released, and bought it the very day it hit the stores. After having about 5 hours of fun...

Age of Galactic Empires

by Bruguru Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jan 02 '02
Pros: Great detail, graphics, music, log-term playability.
Cons: None come to mind.
You’ve seen Star Wars 117 times and its still not enough. You’ve read all the books, listened to the soundtrack, stood in line for the premieres of all four sequels, and yet something is still missing. Fear not, faithful Star Wars fans, for Lucas...

Bad Name Good game

by key-2-vip , Jan 12 '08
Pros: Complex Storyline, character development, mixture of RPG/action adventure elements
Cons: Minor bugs/crashes
As the title says, the main detraction from the game may be its unwieldy title. I think it may have sounded great in French of Flemish (it is made by a small Belgian studio, Larian), but in English it just comes across as trite and sounds forced. ...

Finally, a decent Star Wars RTS!

by dougwolfe , Jan 10 '02
Pros: Star Wars! A good RTS system.
Cons: Some control quirks. Voices aren’t the originals.
I’ll start off with two things:
1) I am a big Star Wars fan. I’m not so much building lightsabers and dressing up as a Stormtrooper or anything, but Star Wars is my absolute favorite.
2) I have heard this game uses the Age of Empires engine,...

Age of (the) Empires, too!

by Brood_McEto , Nov 17 '01
Pros: Good RTS set in Star Wars Universe
Cons: Doesn't add a whole new dimension
A long time ago, in our own galaxy, LucasArts put out quality software that usually brought up the whole genre. X-Wing was the first Space Combat sim that was any good, and (almost) every title in the X-wing series was really good, and brought new...

At Last, An RTS For Star Wars Fans!

by johnenfield , Dec 08 '01
Pros: It's everything Rebellion and Force Commander should have been wrapped into one game.
Cons: View control is too limited, not all voices are done by the original actors.
Lucas Arts has teamed up with Ensemble Studios to create the first true RTS set in the Star Wars universe. Galacic Battlegrounds is a classic-styled real-time strategy game that is based on the game engine from the Age of Empires series. The game is...

Deja Vu, the feeling you've played this game before

by lhandren , Mar 25 '02
Pros: Impressive array of Star Wars equipment and characters, easy to learn
Cons: AoEII with Star Wars graphics pasted over the units, unstable single and multi-player modes
I really enjoy playing this game, I'm a big Star Wars fan. In fact, I'm able to wile away hours at this game blowing up Rebellion scum and driving the wookies before my AT-AT walkers! But then, I can also spend hours playing Age of Empires II, which is...

Is 10 the Best Flight sim yet?

by samf2000 , Oct 15 '06
Pros: Best graphics yet in the series
Cons: Not many people will be able to run this sim without slideshow framerates.
After 25 Years making Flight sims, Microsoft came out with its newest version MSFS X . While their other fight sims added better graphics, more planes and tutorials MSFS X Adds way more in the form of Missions. Many people who are hardcore flight simmers ...

Nothing New, I preferred ST: Armada

by memnoch_osh , Jun 17 '02
Pros: Star Wars Units
Cons: Bad Plot, Rehashed RTS feel, Overly-balanced teams
Plot:
The timeline of the plot seems to wander all over the movies timelines. It starts at Episode one and ends near episode 6 (not sure, didn't play to the end) but I didn't feel "inside" the plot. How did Chewbacca become a major leader of the...

Arguably The Best Star Wars Game Ever

by fogman444 , Jun 02 '03
Pros: An Incredible Star Wars Game, massive replayability, full-featured Senario Editor included
Cons: None
This is an incredible game, especially for the Star Wars line which is plagued by half-hearted or otherwise just bad games. However, this is a shining star, a delite for any star wars fan. Based on the Age of Empires engine, the game is rock solid....
