Good Game, but ...

Ok so I it is an old game and it is star wars, which is awesome. I think the last RTS game for Star Wars before this was Galactic Battle grounds so yeah if you are looking for the newest Star Wars RTS this is it. I got it origianlly for PC but could never find the expansion. I bought it again for my mac because I remember how many hours I spent playing it. However, it begins to grow old after several games because its the same stratagey over and over again. Even though it is an RTS it seems to become linear after a while. Sure their are some Random side missions that pop up here and their that are cool to try and do but let’s be realistic, I’m not going after a side mission when the Rebels have a bunch of Mon Calamari Cruisers waiting for me … that is just dumb. Anyways if you are considering buying this game I would wait until the include the expansion pack. The expansion pack adds a third faction which I think would make the game less repetative because with three factions you don’t know who is going to be the bigger threat so it will force you to be more adaptable. However if you are a huge Star Wars fan I would so just go for it and grab the expansion if or when they make it because to be honest those space battle are always a blast for me, especcially if I am bringing a ton of Star Destroyers and Victory Class Destroyers up a against a massive fleet and a fully upgrded space station … You can probably tell I like the Empire more.

Over all its a good game but when it comes to the galactic stratagy it gets repatitve. You go for the same planets over and over again each play through. Because they hace the same resources, bonuses, or strategic location every time. And you do that while also trying bolster your frontline planets to repel any attack the other side might throw at you. Yeah its fun but worth $20 I don’t think so if it goes on sale yeah go for it. I hope this helped!
