Do NOT buy this - Notoriously buggy, and a bug that after sometime you can't select your units

The game is notorious for being full of bugs. All the others I can live with, except for the fact that after some time in galactic conquest, you can no longer select your units and give them orders, leading to that game being uncompletable.

After messaging LucasArts about it, they don't seem to ever be fixing it, and therefore I can only advise that this game is broken except if you only want to complete the campaign.

If you do still decide to buy the game, you should check the LucasArts forums, Petroglyph forums, and other fansites like everythingeaw for threads on things like 'unable to select units' before you do so, as I believe any Star Wars fan will be frustrated with this game in the end. Even Petroglyph confirmed with me that the game engine needs patching, but they can't do anything without LucasArts giving the go ahead.

If this bug didn't exist, the game would be otherwise almost perfect.

    Before I purchased EAW FOC I did some homework. I made sure the SSD was available for actual play and it was, but only in Galactic Conquest. As for the Eclipse, it is only available in Campaign for the Zann Consortium an... Read Full Review
