The game plays alot like Age of Empires 2, but with alot more stuff. I'm not a Starwars nerd and i thought the game was cool.
Decent game, but could be better

I love Star Wars stuff.
When I saw this game, I knew that I just had to have it. I was not expeting all that much, so I got what I expected.
This review is for the Mac version of this game.
The game is OK. Some challenges and some just really easy stuff. Interface is clunky and not as good as Starcrafts. Basically, just go and buy starcraft. It looks better and is more fun to play.
Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds is a must for die hard Star Wars fans. But, if you are looking for a really fun game to play, try starcraft.
Not as good as the game it borrowed its engine from

Now the game itself is very fun and challenging and has a lot to offer but the engine they used was AOE2s. They did a bad job using it. I found that there was very poor path finding and the AI was pretty crappy. Besides those downsides a solid RTS
THE BEST GAME IN THE UNIVERSE

Everything looks great - it should be very fun. Even the pleasure of wiping out Jar Jar and all his kin doesn't make up for the fact that this game requires you to spend FAR too much time managing your units, tech levels, structures, etc. There are few opportunities for any tactics other than 'build to the highest tech level, then swarm the other guy'. This gets old FAST.
Total Annihilation, for example, is the granddaddy of RTS games, but still has the best gameplay I know of. You can go high tech, or swarms of low tech, or whatever, and there are many many different ways to win any given level. Not true w/ Star Wars:GB. Ya kinda gotta do it the way they envisioned it, and by the time you collect the FOUR different resource types, build a few dozen buildings, and upgrade ten technologies, you (or at least I) am mighty tired of clicking.
The software also crashes my G4 800 running OS 10.1 pretty regularly. Only a full restart will bring it back up. The only other software capable of doing this is Microsoft Internet Exploer.
All in all, pretty dissapointing. I'll go back to playing my 4 year old copy of Total Annihilation.
An Addictive Masterpiece!

I usually play shooters, like Duke Nukem, Quake and Doom. Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds has converted me into a strategy game fan. Everyone that I have introduced it to loves it! Best of all, you get to kill Jar Jar and his entire Gungan civilization (or the Wookies, Galactic Empire, Naboo, Rebels, or Trade Federation - depending on who you have it in for). Buy it for hours of entertainment.
