Star Wars: Empire at War

"Star Wars: Empire at War is the best strategy game available set in the Star Wars universe. An in depth single player offers you single battles, wars for domination of a galaxy of planets or a well developed story campaign. There is also a mutliplayer option and overall this is a top quality title."

"Ultimately, there's no single aspect of the game that really demands your interest. To place it in perspective I've also refreshed my memory of Rome: Total War and Dawn of War. The pace and visual impact of Dawn of War make Empire At War's RTS sections simply disappear into the shadows, and the tactical map of Rome Total War would have been a fine game even without the beautiful sieges and epic battles that underpin it; Empire At War by contrast looks a little but like "My First Wargame". But hey, at least it's not Force Commander."

"Hardcore gamers looking for a deep strategy game, or a complex RTS, may look elsewhere. Empire at War is an elegant title with broad casual appeal that shies away from the kind of depth that could have needlessly complicated what is essentially a great casual title."

"Star Wars fans finally get to play a strategy game worthy of the license."

"The game looks awesome right off the bat, too, with dozens of highly detailed units of wildly varying size duking it out to classic Star Wars music. Lighting, explosions, and heat shimmers are already in, and the team is looking at implementing several different types of cameras in addition to the standard isometric perspective. We were shown one tracking camera that would get right behind a unit or formation and follow it as it raised hell, with explosions and missiles going off left and right. It's really pretty neat and ought to make for some sexy screenshots."
