The high quality of space battles in this game more then make up for short comings in land battles. High quality graphics, visual angles, zoom. Massive battles that can last as long as reinforcements are continue to drop out of hyper space. Whats not to love? Repetitiveness can be an issue here in-terms of game-play, so if you have ADD, maybe this one isn't for you.
Heroes add an interesting aspect to the game, they are so powerful that not using them is a serious disadvantage. Space AI is also quite good, hiding units and ambushing you capital ships with bombers and such. Overall the best Star Wars strategy game ever made.
