Awesome sights, sounds, and epic battles. But lacks the compelling strategy element that will keep you thirsty for more.

User Rating: 7.8 | Star Wars: Empire at War PC
This is good game but lacks the gusto to be a great game. While the graphics, sound, and epic star battles are spectacular the 3 mini-game design is can be broken down to a RTS cookie cutter game. Unit building becomes very repetitive and moving your ships around becomes exceedingly cumbersome late in the game. Another flaw in this game is the blatant unit overbalancing which breaks combat down to make sure you have several of every unit type. Also the unit que is frustratingly crippled to five at a time, and it ensures that you will make stops to each planet every turn. In the end I have to give this game a 7.8, but I probably won't touch this game again now that the campaigns are done. Definitely one for the die hard fans.
