Good guys wear White!!
Welcome to a game where numerous planets litter the galaxy and you have to take control of them, one by one by one. Build space fleets, have insane battles above the planet before you swoop in to mop up the mess down below. Space battles are very interesting in this game, those of us who played starcraft way back in the day remember the "space" missions. This is that, for the new generation, it was the logical step in the more than right direction.
Building a base does happen in this game, do not get me wrong there is base building. But it happens from space. No more grunts running around building up the base. Now it happens from safety of planetary orbit. And when you making that crushing run from space to the planet, good old handy Tie Bombers to come in and "lay the place to waste like".
The graphics in the game are pretty solid, its not Halo 2 in RTS format, but a RTS game isnt all about looks. In my opinion RTS game rely less on graphics than any other game genre. But this game still looks very nice.
All in all this game is by far one of the best RTS of all time, right up there with Star Craft: Brood Wars, and Warcraft III: Frozen Throne. It has the total package, and if you are either a Star Wars fan OR a RTS fan dont walk, but RUN out to the closet game retailer and BUY THIS GAME
