Great Game for its time

This was one of the finest Star Wars game storylines I've ever seen. It rivaled that of Jedi Knight I: Dark Forces II. The graphics are fairly decent for being from 1998. The gameplay is great. It is really an awesome RTS. The Campaigns are really challenging and very fun. Although it isn't that fun to play more than once, there are some very challenging missions that will make your head spin. Also, the story, the rise and fall of Brenn Tantor and then his redemption. Then he even lives to see the fruits of his labored redemption. The story is great and it is vaguely reminiscent of Darth Vader's storyline.

Very Good, but not the best

I found this game very good. It's graphics are spectacular, and its AI is very intelligent as well. However, if you wish for a game and are on a rather tight budget, don't use up money on this game. Wait for a while until the price goes down.

Not Cool....

Im yet another Die-Hard Star Wars Fan. As soon as I heard of Star Wars: Force Commander, I instantly rushed too my local EB. I threw the CD in my 'puter and...waited... Once it was done I drooled at the prospect of commanding my troops into battle...as soon as i saw the first mission..my smile faded...graphics are ok sound is a knock off of Pearl Jam, and the camera stinks. If you buy this game, you have my pity my friend.

As someone who used to play video games as a youngster, I was excited to initiate the process of picking the hobby back up as an adult. Being a Star Wars fan, the box this game comes in caught my eye. It made me think I would be able to jump right in and start fighting the enemy. I was extremely disappointed. This game is difficult to learn and boring. Unless you have hours and hours to invest and are easily amused, please take a pass on this one. I learned that one needs to read reviews of these games and target what you're looking for before jumping in and just buying the games off the shelf.

The BEST Realtime Srategy Game to Date

I just got this game yesterday. I was engrossed in it for hours. I finally had to stop playing because I was afraid my CD would catch on fire pretty soon. Go out ad buy STAR WARS: FORCE COMMANDER!

GREAT GAME

I can't believe all of the complaints about this game. I think that it is great. It is all a matter of perspective. I think that if a you have fun playing a game, then it is a good game. And baby, Force Commander is fun. It doesn't take much to look past the tiny glitches and become completely engrossed in this game. ..............BUY IT. HAVE SOME FUN, BECOME COMMANDER BRENN TANTOR....LEAD YOUR TROOPS TO VICTORY!

Nice but Not all that

Nice game for the first two levels, but the little things make the difference; such as bunkers cannot fire and only hold two soldiers. The game gets confusing and the story jets off in certain points. A much better game of the same genre is Ground Control. FOCOM also is very unrealistic because AT-ST's cannot destroy soldiers well at all. Another downside of this game is the unit limit, which is very annoying. 2 stars is very fair if not nice for this game.

Buy Starcraft instead of this

I'm a huge Star Wars fan and was excited to play ForceCommander.....but I'm glad my friend bought it instead of me. Theinterface, as other reviews say, is horrible. And the graphics are just as bad (the movie scenes are good....but those are 5% of the game). I played this for a whole evening, hoping it would get better and it didn't. Starcraft has a much better interface and graphics.

Too bad about the interface...

This would have been a great game except for the actual user interface. What a mess! Unless you are a 5th dimensional being with 20 eyes, you got lost while trying to manage the games meandering views. Locking onto troops in order to give them orders is a tortuous exercise.

I gave up after two hours and uninstalled this programming mistake. This is another LA game that does'nt live up to it's promise.

To many bugs to deal with

I'm a pretty adament Star Wars fan, although i'm not to crazy about episodes 1&2, but that is for a different review, so naturally i went out and bought this game when it first came out. Unfortunately it is riddled with problems that even it's impressive graphics couldn't overcome. In theory it is a good game, but in theory utopia is possible. I can see how the creators envisioned it, and i'm not angry with them, just disappointed they put out an obviously defective product. Game crashes, and controls that get impossible to use the more units you have destroy all enjoyment of this game. I got only a little bit into the Missions before i couln't take it anymore. By the way, i have a Athalon 1.2, 400 Megs of ram, and a 128 voodoo 4 card, so there should be no problems, but for some reason there are. Overall i'd have to give this game:

Graphics: 4.0 (nice at the time, a little dated by this point)
Sound: 4.5 (some nice music and the such, but repetitive after a while, and some slight skipping)
Gameplay: 1.5 (this is where it loses a ton of points, it's an impossible game to play, even with overwhelming odds on your side, it's next to impossible to beat the computer)
Replay: 1.0 (I must admit, i tried numerous times to play this game, i just can't make it though an entire game it's to tedious.)

This game was good in theory, and from my understanding, Lucas Arts has made a much better one, so i recomend buying that.
