Summary: Gold Back 2008-10-27
Comment: The product is consistent with other lucas arts products. I do wish they'd develop another fly fighting game moreso than these strategy battles.

Summary: A great Star Wars game.. 2008-09-30
Comment: Now this is a fun game for anyone who has ever wanted to command a fleet of star destroyers... Like me. Fun game, build up your forces for ground and space combat. Concur planets and set fleets to protect them, command legendary characters such as Luke, wedge, mon mothma, Vader, han solo, boba fett..
Absolutely worth a play.

Summary: A little great, a little suck! 2008-09-17
Comment: This game is, at various times, oodles of fun and a major test of patience.
I like "Star Wars". Always have. The video games for the series have generally been pretty good, too. Games like "X-Wing" and "TIE Fighter" (both aching for new versions. You listening, Lucasarts?), "Knights of the Old Republic", and the various "Lego Star Wars" games have all been excellent.
This game, sadly, departs from that legacy and is just... acceptable. Barely.
Don't get me wrong. Parts of it are great! The space battles are wonderfully fun! There's nothing like taking the Death Star and assaulting Alderaan, blowing it to smitherines and cackling all the while!
On the other hand, the land battles are slow, plodding, boring and dull. It takes forever to move your people and machinery around. Once you've done that, it takes forever for them to overcome enemy positions or groups. Even once you've done THAT, you might get stuck spending several minutes knocking down a building. To make matters worse, you're limited on the amount of forces you can bring down to a planet, so the slowness can't really be alivated. Even on the game's fastest settings, the land battles are still an exercise in patience, or lack thereof.
The graphics and sound effects are fine, and the game runs smoothly enough. I like the planetary conquest setup, where you get more credits based on the number of planets you control. In fact the only thing I don't like about the game is the land battles. Since that's about half the game, you can see where we have a problem.
