"Get in there; I don't care what you smell ! !" - Han Solo
Immersive, addictive. I have it for only 2 days and my eyes are red from the lack of sleep ! Empires at war is a great game and not only for SW fans. It reminds me the long forgotten Pax Imperia strategy game, with the land battle as a bonus.
First, the game isn't that easy. Commands are quite instinctive and the Campaign mode throws you right in the battle immediately. Instant action and long time strategy on a delicat mix. Plus the familiar Star Wars universe with famous heroes and good'ol Solo humour !
The conquest mode will test your ability in both ressource management and tactical commandement. You definitevely can't win if your too this or too that.
Even if the concept is definitively not new, LucasArt managed to create a refreshing game that will please to a lot of us.
The only thing you need to know about this game is : "Magic tricks and hokey religions ain't no match for a blaster at your side, kid."
