I especially like fact that you can zoom all the way in on the action. The galactic map makes organization much easier and overall, the game is quite attractive. Anyway, the movie mode is kewl allowing you to view your battles and other activities from a cinimatic point of view. Of course, that said, the last RTS I played was most likely Red Alert (lol). I'm still getting the hang of how things work but I'm already impressed with some things I've not seen before in an RTS. It's been a long time coming and to my delight, the product is quite nice. I must say I'm very happy to see that someone has finally decided to create a "worth while" RTS for the SW franchise. Too bad people can't "rent" PC games, because I think this would be a good one to sit down, play, beat, and return. You'll soon wish that each planet could hold as many buildings as you want. The number of buildings and spacestations per planet is limited.
Yet, managing what planet produces what is pretty basic. Plotting what planet to attack next and which planets need to be defended is both strategically challenging and involving. Overall, planet capturing management is pretty fun. "Go for this type ship first, then that type ship next, then that ship last.you win." Over and over.
If I want an AT-AT drop, I want it to be in the center of the battle, not 20 miles away, where is has to lumber to the fight.Īlso, in both space and ground battles, if you learn what to kill in the correct order, the action gets really repetitive and predictable. True, there are reinforcements available, but only a certain amount per planet and they can only be dropped off in designated areas. I want upgrade shops and unit producing barracks wherever I want. Personally, I enjoy resource collecting and/or hunkering down and building walls and turrets, but this games does not allow you to build anything other than anti-vehicle/unit turrets or medical bays (in pre-determined spots). BUT, Vader can pretty much take out an entire army and beat any single player mission single handed. Yes, you do have heroes, and yes, they should be able to kick some major butt. If you have played any amount of RTSs, you will know that these ground battles are pretty boring. The ability to target a large ship's shield generator or laser cannons with your Tie Fighters or X-Wings makes micromanagement a blast.
The zoom option is alot of fun and really makes you feel like you're in one of the Star Wars movies. They are a TON of fun, offering a variety of ships and cruisers that each contribute differently to the battle. This is 2006.c'mon, let's see something a bit more impressive, please.
That said, when I uprgaded my PC, and the graphics were not impressive when turned to High. The graphics for SW:EaW are not too demanding. It's nice to be able to play a new game on a relatively low-end computer.
