Basic RTS with many limits.

User Rating: 7 | Star Wars: Empire at War PC
Before you rate this review as unhelpful, read the whole thing! Then rate it whatever you want.

It's a fun game with some things that other RTS games don't have, such as a choice of battling land or space, a wide variety of units, heroes (extra powerful units such as Vader's TIE Squadron), and a few other things.
If that were all I had to say, this game would probably get an 8.5+

But that's not all I have to say. Here are the negatives of this game.

One resource, collecting the resource is too simple (send any ship, even a figter, to an asteroid and click build mining facility for the mining facility to build itself, your ships can move away and it will still build), population limit (this is the worst. In space, the limit is 20! Augh!), and a few other things.

Combine the 8.5+ of the good parts with the bad parts, and you'll get close to a 7.

Conclusion:
If you're an RTS newb, this game is great. If you need something more advanced (more population, resources, and more) you should go for a different RTS. Rent the game if it's one of your 1sr RTS games, or if you don't know what type of RTS gamer you are.
