This is an expasion?! impressive.just needs a twiking and it would be perfect.
Gameplay
Same stuff as the old one. an RTS thats starts you with structures you produce troops and you assault your enemies.its great but i could use more troops and something added in to the skirmishes... This time they added a new faction called the Consortium.there some Criminal masterminds who hate the Empire and Ignore the Rebel's power to struggle.Tyber Zann leader of the pack has evil motives and tricks up his sleave and his greatess and most use weapon Corruption.it adds new gameplay to the Galactic Conquest yet feels more like you conquered a planet temporarily. it adds bonus and the Corruption options are Bribery,Racketiring,Kidnapping and so on.unlike the rebels who feed technology made by the Imperials and unlike the Imperials who Discover new techonology by there own Facilities and Projects the Consortium refers to old techonolgies dating back to the Clone Wars and the Black market where Ilegal Technology is found.they have units unlike others feels a bit overpowered at times but can also fail and perish sometimes depending on who plays and who plays against.But the dont forget the Rebel sumbags and the Dirty Empire they too get new toys to play with and spam the idiots who fight them.Empire get those dark troopers yet no arc caster like Battlefront 2 but its sad yet..whatever.Rebels finally get Yoda who chickened out before the release of the original Empire at War core game.but there are some issues such as the battlecam camera has not been fix because you can see some frigates stick inside each other with such an Impure fact in public is really annoying and disqusting.other glitches invole some units getting stuck some reapper then disappear and worst of all orbital bambardments all over the map XD.but lets not say it sucks these rarely happen but exceptions for the battlecam glitch which dosent affect gameplay but experiences of the young audience only.they added some tiny features like Infantry paths unaccesible to veichles and more realistic weather and terrain effects.
Graphics
They arent very good but aren very bad the robots and other Technology look good but the humans like ugly cubish and hard as a rock which make cutscenes odd to look at.
Sounds
the sound of the Orbital Bambardment dosent sound so much like a BOOMBLAMMOOOKABOOOWEEEE but more like some EMP wisper..
Value
Value its cheaper then the core game but still around $20 so you so it depends on you $20 is not what i would call cheap just umm extra for me.
Overall
its an expasion that adds more pezaz and more of the bugs they use to have..What the Hells is up with that?! its annoying yet it dosent bother the gameplay much just the experience so but this you star wars geeks and may the force be with me only and none for you!
