One of the Greatest RTS games: Revisited

Galactic Battlegrounds was a perfect blend: Star Wars and Age of Empires. It proved to be a game with tons of options and replayability. Now this expansion pack addresses every problem and missing part of the original game. There are some main attractions with this x-pack, mainly the Episode 2 heroes, civilizations, and campaigns. But current features are not left alone, each civ gets more units, bonuses, and is carefully outlined to be more different than it was in the original game.
With more units for the scenario editor and a few surprises LucasArts hasn't revealed yet, this x-pack promises to give a great game, a lot more than that it all ready has.

Although Age of Empires is not the greatest game in my opinion, StarWars Galactic Battle Grounds is close. Coming in third after Final Fantasy and Starcraft of course. You build lots of buildings and lots of troops in a mix of Starcraft and Age of Empires. 80% Age of Empires. This exansion pack just adds on some great new stuff to play with. Re kindling my passion for the game.

Clone Campaigns: One of the most worthy expansions ever.

I have many reasons to give this a good rating, because it left me with no doubt in my mind about what I thought of it. I just recently seen Episode 2, and after I saw it, I wanted a game related to it. Since all Star Wars Episode 2 games weren't due out for a few months, I settled for Galactic Battlegrounds and Clone Campaigns. I was on a macho powertrip about how cool it would be to control the Clone troopers in real-time tactics after the bad-to-the-bone performance they gave in the movie. I played it and realized that to control your team, you actually have to think as if you were one of them, you could not just run in and take out every enemy, you had to think. It gives you 14 new levels, 2 new civilazations... The Republic and the Confederacy with new upgrades and buildings. It is chock full of Episode 2 content from the Clones to appearances by Obi-Wan and Jango-Fett plus Vehicles such as the Jedi Starfighter and the Slave 1. This is one of the only expansions this side of Diablo 2 where you get the most bang for your buck.

Clone Campaigns is Cool....

I'm content with this expansion pack. The republic are a fun civilization to play especially with the tech 4 upgrades. They added some great new upgrades and research for exisiting armies including power droids. The new Fortress armies caught me off guard at first because of thier sheer destructive power, but i got use to them. Enough bang for the buck to get me back into playing the game and having fun doing it. The new Star Wars locales are fun to play and entertain. After reading the instruction manual for the game and reading what's been added and changed, it made the game a lot more fun. It's a good expansion for your bucks, if your a fan of Episode 2 as well as the original Galactic Battlegrounds. Just the fact that AT-AT's can now fire at air targets as well as ground targets make it almost worth it alone. Hope to see another expansion with a lot more civilizations. Maybe for Episode 3 ??? Like Starcraft - Brood War i have yet to go back to playing the original game, this is much more fun.

More fun then shooting wamp rats

This game is based on a favorite game engine of mine Age Of Empires. I really enjoy setting up my empires and duking it out with computer generated opponets as well as online ones.More so I suppose with the computer because I can save the game and come back to it when I feel like it from any point in the battle.Lucas Arts did a fine job of putting together something that I find very entertaining. I've encountered several reviews that really aren't fair to this game just because it incorporates other cultures like the Wookies. SO what? It's just more civilizations to fight with and that makes the game.
The Clone expansion cd really adds alot more to the game.If you have kids or are an old kid like me then do yourself a favor and get this game.

If you liked any of the Age of Empires games, you will absoulutely love Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds and this awesome expansion pack! Tons of fun to play, especially online at [URL]. Many new features/units added from the original, which was already a whole lot different from the Original AOE series. It's everything good about the game turned futuristic, with the theme of Star Wars twisted in! Whether you build an amazing fleet of ships, toops, mechs, heavy destruction weapons, air combat unites, or what have you, there are so many different options and ways to have fun with this game! Will provide endless hours of fun and enjoyment offline or online, I guarentee it! Must-have for any Star Wars fan, action/strategy game enthusiast, AOE fan, or any old regular person that likes computer games! I am not a huge gamer but I am really into this game! Get it, you won't regret your decision!

amazing

Expensive Patch

After thoroughly enjoying SWGB, I must say that I am sorely disappointed with the expansion. The bulk of the changes are balance issues, things that other publishers (e.g. Blizzard) provide with a free patch.
The missions are disappointing as well. Three of the missions are introductory and basic, which makes them seem pointless after completing the forty-odd missions from base game. Almost all of the missions are linear, eliminating the need for any kind of tactical thinking. Also, the cartoonish depiction of the hero in the Republic battles gave me the impression that this was a hasty project for the developers.
The new units were intriguing and fun. The emphasis on Jedi forced me to use a component of the game that I hadn't played much previously. I honestly didn't notice much change in the environments, though--they just seemed to be slight variations of those from the base module except for one (Sarapin). And I definitely didn't feel that the soundtrack was changed in any way.
While not without some worthwhile qualities, Clone Campaigns is just too expensive for what it delivers. Perhaps for multi-player this is a must have, but for single players it just is not worth the price.

MUST HAVE EXPANSION PACK

If you have star wars galactic battlegrounds and are tired of the same thing you shoukd buy this pack first of all you have new reserch upgrades also new mechs and troops also 2 new civilazations galatic republic and the confederacy. some examples of some of the improvements are you can make controlable predeters (only confederacy can do this) see in episode 2 the stadium battle sequence. also you can make power droids to move where power is needed also a major imporvement is the now ship you can make at the fortresses these ship a super powerful and count as 2 persons on you soilder count they destroy every ground troop within a certian area including you own troop so be careful also they balanced the game more so certan troops are less effective then they were in the frist bounty hunters don't kill jedi as easy and air craft don't kill anti aircraft troop as easy. some down fall about this game is it still takes about 3 hr to finsh a skermish also I thought it would be more new thing than it really has but all in all its a solid expansion and it worth your money if you are a fan of the first so I give it 5 stars.
