Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds

This game while good, doesn't really have much that makes it spectacular. If you want a Star Wars themed RTS, then this is a good start. It will play like A.o.E., so it won't take long to get going. Naturally there are Hero units. The building of fighter craft, Naval vessels and Jedi/Sith units are basically what makes this stand out from some RTS games. Anyway the gameplay is solid and the game story works within the confines of the Star Wars universe. Plus providing some background stories for movies 4, 5 and 6.


Unfortunately, this game(like most) suffers from the inevitable repetitiveness and boredom that occurs from playing it for too long. The Map editor or Scenario editor, is a great way to breathe life into the game if you've gotten bored with it. There are cheats that can make it a bit more interesting as well. It has just about everything there to use. Considering all the units and characters available, experiment with it. The official online service for this game no longer exists to my knowledge.


Basically, it is Age of Empires 2 with a Star Wars coating. Simply put, and it isn't for everyone though.

i love it...

I love Age of Empires and i love Star Wars so this game works for me. It's almost exctly like AoE but a thousand times better. You must have the Clone Campeigns expansion to make it better though. It's fun on-line an single player. 10$ at Wal-Mart.....GO BUY IT.

The Miser Says: Get Up and Go buiy this game NOW!!!

If you like building fortresses and conquering the galaxy then you will need to have this game in your library. It has one of the most wide ranged characters I have seen in a game. I've had this game for a while and still find myself amazed at how much fun it is to play. To me it is well worth spending the money for it. If you liked Kindoms, then you will love this one. THX
