Great game! Change is Good!

User Rating: 8.8 | Star Wars: Empire at War PC

I don't want to go into the long and boring details, but the GameSpot review hit the nail on the head. The game is fun, fresh and highly addictive. Tons of gameplay to keep you interested for months.

Also, the multiplayer is a blast. had a 4vs4 game and it was amazing. Who would have thought shared bases would be so awesome!

The only real issue I have is with the GameSpy online servers. They make you jump through hoops just to get into a game. This is no fault of Lucas or Petroglyph, just shoddy firewall code on GameSpy's end.

Conculsion, get this game. By far the best SW RTS ever and is a great change of pace from traditional RTS games.
