This game as you already know looks alot like Age of Empires 2. Now this means that the game engine will be good, but will the game be good?

It's hard to take 1 very good game like Age Of Empires 2 and duplicate it, and simply change the units from mideval units to Futuristic Star Wars units. This will work, but the game won't be as good, even when you use the same game Engine as Age of Empires 2

As Force commander got good reviews, but after the game came out, people started giving it bad reviews.

This game will be great

Long before they announced this game, i had secret dreams about my favorite game: aok blended with my favorite pastime: starwars. Lucasarts gives me a wonderful christmas present :)
Just check the screens, perhaps it is not revolutionary but it is very fun!!!

Pass This One By...

A game little more than an AOK (Age of Kings) mod. Counterstrike took Half-life farther than this one takes AOK. Here's why its bad:

1. AoK Engine (Dated, took no progrmmaing)
2. Graphics are TERRIBLE. When you have a guy move his feet stay in the same position.
3. Imbalance, planes are terrible everything can be destryoed by 1 massed unit. Everyone picks the same "civilization"
4. Star Wars Name. This may seem like a good thing, but it show unoiginality, and will sell millions of copies just because of the name...

'GALACTIC BATTLEGROUNDS' not bad at all

Ensemble Studios, creators of the classic Age of Empires series, have proven themselves again with a real-time strategy game that anybody in the galaxy can agree on now with "Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds'.

It would seem that "Starcraft" has been at the helm of the sci-fi themed real-time strategy genre for some time now, but with the release of "SW:GB", the rules may change a little bit, and Blizzard may certainly have a run for it's money. Having played the demo of SW:GB, I can only speculate what the full version will be like, but from where I stand now, it looks promising. The game play is very engaging, almost as much as Age of Empires II. The developers have really taken their time to tap into every facet of the Trilogy, and that's another thing that makes the game fun, it's familiar and interesting to even the heaviest Star Wars fan. Not only are the battles faught on the ground, but in the air with TIEs and X-WINGs. The excitement and energy of SW:GB derives directly from Trilogy itself!

The only real detrement I found in the game was the movements of some of the characters, they didn't look very natural. But this is definitely excusable. The gameplay makes up for that. I've already pre-ordered this game, and mind you, I'm a busy college guy, but I'm very anxiously awaiting the release of the full version of the game, it aught to be something else, or atleast cause "a great disturbance in the Force". Pre-order yours today!

A Must For Any Star Wars Fan...

This game is excellent. Based on the Age of Empires II engine, this game is one of the best in real-time strategy. Not to mention that AOE II players will feel right at home with similar hot-keys and navigation. Multiplayer games are exciting and can last for hours. If you like real-time strategy, regardless of whether or not you are a Star Wars fan, you'll love this game. However, being a fan makes it even better. Another awesome game from Lucasarts.

great

Yeah, it is Star Wars, but ... it leaves a lot to be desired. Units run off and do idiot things, there is no move and attack function, the scenarios are alternately ridiculously easy and horrifyingly complex, with no real middle ground. It has the Star Wars name, but that is about it.

Star wars galactic battlegrounds is awsome!!!!!!

I had a lot of fun playing this game. There really was only one problem. This would be that it is a total clone of Age of Empires 2. It is the AoE game engine set in a Star Wars galaxy. The units are exactly the same. For example, there is a unit in AoE that is called the ram, it is resitant to arrows and destroys buildings. In Star Wars there is a unit called a pummel. It is resitant to lasers and destroys sturctures. This sounds pretty similar, right? I suggest that you buy Age of Empires, and you love it, to buy this game. You should try AoE out first.

Cool Game

Just to keep it short, I really liked this game. It plays like Age of Empires, which is easy enough to use. I, personally have taken a favor to playing as the Wookies against the Trade Federation. The only problem I see with the game is that my computer crashes alot. But the computer is older and would crash even if I weren't playing the game.
