Star Wars Empire at War Summary

Lucas Arts and its most popular license from a galaxy far, far away explore the RTS genre for the third time with Star Wars: Empire at War. Set a few years before the events in Star Wars: Episode 4, the game makes itself great by letting players take command of the Rebel Alliance or Galactic Empire throughout the entire galaxy, offering a wider selection of strategic possibilities. Instead of concentrating on one particular region, players must consider the effect of their actions on other planets as well as in space. Each faction makes real-time choices on a galactic map using available ground troops, fleets, and other units from the Star Wars universe, including such iconic characters as Obi Wan Kenobi, Han Solo, Darth Vader, Admiral Ackbar and Boba Fett. The goal is to defeat the opposing side by gradually taking control of as many star systems and strategic points as possible. This game is a must play for any Star Wars or RTS fans.
