Not worth it imo.. The game is extremely shallow. The space battles are the only mildly fun part, the ground battles are a absolute chore..

From reading the reviews it sounded pretty fun. I'm installing it right now. It'd have to be pretttty bad to not be worth $5.

EaW was pretty fun, but at noted above, the ground battles sucked. Spaces battles were where it was at.

It managed to make Star Wars boring.

I didn't like the game when it came out, I bought it today for the low price, I still don't like it. I don't know why I bought it. Even the mods don't help. I ... I don't know.. why did I buy it?

Empire at War is great if you have delusions of grandeur and love star wars. The ground battles are terrible, but the space battles are amazing. I've heard that steam ran out of keys, though. So if you buy it, you'll have to wait a little bit to play it. Definitely worth 5 bucks. No question.

Ground battles are alright, but you can't go wrong for 5 dollars.

I didn't enjoy it as much as Galactic Battlegrounds but the space battles are pretty neat. Land battles, not so much.

Don't expect it to have the depth and balance of Starcraft or even one of the older Command & Conquer's. As it's one of those games that has a lot of neat ideas besides it being Star Wars; like its cool looking but unbalanced and messy space battles. And it's the same picture for its ground battles. Nonetheless, for $5 I say it's worth it just to see all of the Star Wars units for a few hours.

It's not at all the same kind of game as starcraft or c&c.
