Star Wars: Empire at War demo released

[Thrik]

Yes, it's yet another Star Wars game. It's an RTS by Petroglyph though and it does look fairly nice, so I'll be giving it a go once the damned thing downloads. I do love my RTS games.

There's a list of mirrors being maintained here if anyone's having trouble getting it from the official links. Which is basically GameSpot.

Played it a bit, donno I like the idea but it didnt feel as neat as I had hoped it would :G

I'm looking forward to it, but I'll wait until the retail release is out, so I get the full experience. My god, I can't wait. We need a good Star Wars RTS.

<3 RTS

I enjoyed it, as an avid RTS player and someone who has played just about every star wars game to-date( Yes that includes Star Wars: Force Commander) what i liked about Empires at War was that it felt like Star Wars rebellion which I enjoyed a lot. It allows an RTS to have a massive scale and a micro-managment hell which I don't mind. I like the space to ground combat and the idea behind the things in orbit to have an effect on the ground forces. What I did not like about it was the lack of control in respects to what you can build and battles themselves... you could not attack a player more then once at the sametime and once your in the battle your stuck there, which makes me wonder how Multiplayer would work if its realtime.

i learned from watching my bro play battlefront 2 that star wars games are gay.

ps - i think they made the name of that star wars game very similar to battleFIELD 2, so when kids ask for battlefield 2 for xmas their parents bought a shitty star wars game on accident.

lol yeah maybe

I think the game was kinda crappy, since there was no micro. An RTS without micro should be turn based.

[wacko]

wtf are you talking about ???? no mirco?? did you even play the thing ?
