Why is everyone else rating this so high??? @_@ sloppy game!
the game has a few modes , the basic ones being missions but you can also do a 'galaxy conquest' mode which tries to add a strategy element into the game (which really doesent work... at all.)
So the 'mission' levels are usually a case of "X number of [insert race] need to be killed , you have to kill them all" and then you run around a badly made level with your gun and struggle to kill X wookies/ewoks/whatever due to the poor control system and the terrible fog (much like that seen in the dynasty warriors games) , and then wehey! mission complete - the next mission comes along , guess what? same thing only with another race and map! great fun! NOT.
The conquest mode is pretty much the same sort of thing , only you have a few allies (2 maybe 3 useless bots on your side) and the game takes on a flagpoint sort of game (like battlefield) . more of the same pointless killing , few map screens , moving your battleships around and then you bump into an enemy battleship - this alternate style features flying towards a giant ship and slowly shooting it for about 10 minutes until the thing blows up , no exciting dogfights as obviously the enemy couldnt give a damn whether or not their life support is being destroyed. [oh. my. god. kill me.] 10 minutes of contemplating your suicide later and the mission is complete and you can go back to the map screen to choose a level and the whole process repeats itself until you go back to your local gameshop and dropkick the store manager for allowing such a poor game to fill their shelves.
oh and just to top it all off , the game plays at a horrible 30fps all the time.
Hope my review serves as a guide to not wasting your money.
