Absolutely great game, eye catching battles, but still some problems

User Rating: 8.3 | Star Wars: Empire at War PC
Empire at war is a great game no doubt and is really fun. I like the space battles especailly, they are a really good sight to see. But even though its a great game with great features, every game has its problems and every game deserves some criticism so here is mine.

First of all I think that the game did a bad job with the heros, vader is not very good in space, boba fet is way better. And i dont like how having the heros by your troops doesnt give them any power ups like on bfme(leadership). also they should have made more main heros like yoda and luke skywalker, and the sith lord and mace windew and even darth mal, and also why are r2 d2 and c3po in the game, they could have put cooler heros in their places and other people on the jedi council in the game. Some people are saying that since yoda is in exile he is not on the game. The fact that he is exiled realy should not matter because Obi Wan dies and he is still in the game so therefore any hero should be in the game. Even if you say that Obi Wan died but he was around enough to see this point of time, so he should be in the game because technically he was alive for a while. The point of the game is that they want it to be cool and successful, well then they should have put in more cool heros, dead or not. It seems like they threw in heros that are nothing special, luke is in the game but in red squadron i really didnt find the heros in space very effective except for boba, because he has a really good special.

i also dislike the maps, on each map there is one main point on the map everyone wants, and when u get it u win because then u get loads more cash. i think they shoulod have put more meteor mines in different more spread out places, or put them by your base so and some out in space so that there isnt a primary spot to fight at and everyone has a good source of income because once you get the meteor mines that are clustered in the middle, the game is almost over and there really isnt much resistance you can put up. i think they need to create better maps or give the players the ability to make maps.

Even with all this wrong with the game it is still a great game, still has bugs but will get worked out. I like the way you tech and i also like the way you manage recources and how micromanaging isnt a prolem, that is a plus. It is very cool the way space battles are fought and how you can really customize your battles with where you want to attack first. it is an excellent game and a great buy and even with the problems there are really cool ships, vehicles and units, the battles are great the graphics are fine and the gameplay is overall fun.
I believe that single player galactic conquest and comapign are difficult and will be long lasting and fun.

the game is deffinitly worht playing and will be even better once multiplayer bugs are worked out.
