60 Second Review of…Star Wars: Galactic BattlegroundsMark's Review: Hey, it’s better than Force Commander,
but it didn’t 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 can’t work up any enthusiasm for anything Star Wars.
This really does feel more like a mod than an original game. I think
the art’s a bit screwy too, as things aren’t the proper
scale. Walkers are only a bit bigger than Stormtroopers and Tie
Fighters hover. Bleah. It’s like the coffee that’s 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.
