Empire at War is a really good game that puts the best of Star Wars in a well put together Real Time Strategy Game. The size of ships and vehicles compared to smaller ships and infantry is quite accurate and this adds a feel of reality to the game. All basic Star Wars stuff from the X-Wings to the Shield Generators, this game has it all to create the ultimate Star Wars feel. The graphics are very neat, assuming you got the muscle power of course. Heroes have really cool features, or special abilities, that make the game much more fun. The reinforcement points on land battles take strategy to a new level changing focus from controlling the most powerful base to controling simply more reinforcement points, and this forces you to concentrate on your forces and thus your fight strategy rather than your economy which makes this game really interesting. Overall this game has lots of fun, innovative things, and lets of course not forget the Star Wars feel you get from it. If you are a fan of Star Wars, even if you don't really like RTS, you should try this game.
