lately there has been a boost of Star Wars ground battles. and i don't have anything wrong with that. however, i love flight sims; and the X-Wing series was absolutely brilliant. with the new movies i think we have lost focus of the thrill of flying the Mellinium Falcon into the Death Star. and flying an X-Wing, trying to outfly the enemy TIE fighter. the last installment of the X-Wing series, X-Wing Alliance, introduced players to an incredible story line. yet it still had its quirks. but what game doesn't. i think there needs to be more space action in the future.

Eh

ill admit, im a bit of a starwars fan. I thought this game was going to be great, i had always dreamed of a star wars game that was like age of empires. And this one even uses the same game engine!!!but after playing it for about a week, it starts to get bad. The replayibility is horrible, and if you own age of empires (age of kings) you will notice that the art in star wars galactic batlegrounds apears hurried and low quality compared to age of empires age of kings. Also, it apears that the game wasent adapted for a futuristic game, it seem exsiting the first time you set a bomber on a building, just as its about to make its expected run though, it stops in mid air and procedes to drop uninspired balls of greenstuff on the target.
all in all this game seems slaped together and poor use has been made of the tried and true AoE game engine, i dont recomend this game to anyone but the most avid star wars fans.

Very fine addition to a decent game

The expansion to Galactic Battlegrounds was an improvement. The gameplay, additional sounds and the new civilizations make it worth the buy. I play this game online a few hours everyday, so you could say I find it pretty addicting. It really isn't a bad game at all.

While Galactic Battlegrounds gets on the right RTS road, it doesn't go the distance. In a nutshell, it feels like an AoE mod more than a stand-alone game. A few improvements to the unit AI and some tweaking of structural hit points and we just might have a solid Star Wars RTS on our hands.

A kick @$$ game Part 2

Much like the previous missions in the original game, the expansion missions are just as addictive and just as fun. Again the game does not stray far from the Starcraft, Warcraft, and AOE platforms, with good graphics, and a great replay value. The setting is episode 2 and you are given the option of two different armies...the confederacy or the galactic republic. Unlike the original Galactic Battle grounds, you are forced to play in order: confederacy, then republic, for this game, like the blizzard titles, follow a story line.
