60 Second Review of…
Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds
Mark's Review: Hey, its better than Force Commander,
but it didnt hold my interest long enough for me to get too
far into it. There are much better RTS games and after Episode 1,
I just cant work up any enthusiasm for anything Star Wars.
This really does feel more like a mod than an original game. I think
the arts a bit screwy too, as things arent the proper
scale. Walkers are only a bit bigger than Stormtroopers and Tie
Fighters hover. Bleah. Its like the coffee thats been
sitting in the pot all day.
Tom's Review: An AOK TC. If you're not game geek
saavy enough to know what that means, then you should dig Galactic
Battlegrounds. If you are saavy enough, but you're also a Star Wars
baby (i.e. a male born between, say, 1960 and 1970), then you should
dig Galactic Battlegrounds. But if you're a real time strategy aficionado
looking for the next nifty new thing, well, stick to Kohan. LucasArts
has taken Ensemble's Age of Kings engine, slathered it with a thick
layer of Star Wars stuff, and tweaked just enough things under the
hood to make this more than just a skin job. And damned if I can't
stop playing, Star Wars baby that I am.
