Star Wars crossed with Command & Conquer, some missions in space, other missions on planets. A nice combination...

This is an amazing game. Not just because it's Star Wars, but the fact that you can now play on the side you want and see how the vehicles/ships fight as well as command your own army into battle. This is a very good concept of a RTS game.

GRAPHICS
=========
Absolutely fantastic. They did such a great job with the designs, maps, even the explosions look so realistic. And I love how you can view exploding ships up close either manually or by watching the battle cam. Every ship and vehicle is precisely detailed right down to the hanger bays of the Star Destroyers and Calamari Cruisers.Plus the battle detail of the lasers and how ships slowly fall apart when they explode is a very nice tough. They took notes and did their homework when it comes to graphic detail.

CONTROL
=========
Very nicely done. I do like the fact that it's fairly simple and straight forward, no need to learn much. The only thing you will need to learn is that certain ships are better equipped to fight certain enemies. Just because you have a Star Destroyer doesn't mean you can defend yourself from every star fighter that comes your way. The only thing I would have liked is if the game allowed you to manipulate true 3D while your in space, similar to how Star Trek Armada II did. This way you have to pay close attention to everything, make you think more and react more. I also don't like the fact that you are limited to how many ships and soldiers you can make. Not to complain too much but the way I see it, if you have the resources, we should be able to make as much as we see fit. Plus as long as we can handle the upkeep (Such as having 2 outposts to add more soldiers) I don't see why we can't have more than the limits.

OVERALL
========
A very brilliant concept with a good mix of game play and knowing the strengths and weaknesses of every ship and vehicle. This is one RTS you can't go wrong with. Plus it's a fantastic multi-player if you're into that kind of thing. You can't go wrong with this title or game.
