Star Wars: Empire at War

A gd game that could have been great.

While this game blows past Star Wars strategy games out of the water, it could have been better. The land battles are a chore and doesnt seem to be as manageable as the space battles.

The real time turn based system is IMO not suitable for a game like this, the system used by the Total War series is much better.

Graphically, I'm not that bothered bout graphics as its the gameplay that counts more, its certainly gd enough for its scope. Sound is excellent but hey, its Star Wars :)

Overall, any enjoyable ride for Star Wars fans and strategy fans in general -
