Overview

Set a few years before the events of Episode IV: A New Hope, LucasArts' Empire at War lets you wage war on the ground and in space, as well as experience the creation of the Rebel Alliance, the strengthening of the Empire and the beginnings of the Galactic Civil War.

Key Features:
Using an entirely new game engine created by the Las Vegas-based developer Petroglyph, Empire at War features beautifully rendered land and space battles set on memorable planets such as Yavin IV, Tatooine, and Dagobah, as well as never-before-seen environments taken directly from the Star Wars films and expanded universe novels.

In the game, you choose to join either the Rebel Alliance or the Galactic Empire, building and setting up tactical forces to unleash upon the enemy in real-time 3D. You can also bring memorable Star Wars hero characters into the action to help turn the tide of the battle as players build, manage, and upgrade their space and ground-based units, vehicles, troops, and base structures.

    Great graphics and reasonably fun to play but after a week of use the graphics corrupted and no amount of updating or fiddling solved this. I've taken it of my MAC now and I'm not sure I'll bother again. Shame really.

    Fantastic game, superb graphics! You get to play a variety of different formats, from galactic conquest to story-based games, with the ability to play as all the heroes along the way. The ability to switch to cinema mode at any stage of a battle is great if you just want to sit back and watch the action as if you were really there and you never tire of watching the Death Star destroying worlds.

    There are only 2 criticisms of the game; First, the number of different options for galactic conquest mode are very limited so it won't be long before you're crying out for an expansion pack, and secondly, the system requirements really do need to be that high! I'm running it on a 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac with 2gb of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT graphics card with 256mb of VRAM and whilst this is fine most of the time, if you play a long game and give the other side time to build up it's forces, the game starts to really slow down and I've managed to lock it up a couple of times, so the faster your Mac, the better!

    Overall, for any true Star Wars fans, it's another 'must have' game. I just can't wait for some expansion packs!     …More
