Sweet RTS
This is a Really good game. I've played my fair share of Command and Conquer games, and this has them beat... bad. I like the fact that you can manage your own planets and defences, and I really like the hardpoints system (one where you can take out certain weapons/ vital systems on the ships). This game is also really good for gamers who are trying out the RTS genre, other than the fact that time does seem to move a little fast for everything that needs to be done during a battle. The campaign mode is excellent for learning how to play the game, and the games creators did a really good job about keeping it challenging (and perhaps a little frusterating) but without making it too dificult. Galactic Conquest is a different story, however, you will need to do a lot of pausing to keep up with the computer on the galactic map. I have not tried the multiplayer yet, so I can't speak for that. One of the biggest things that has frustrated me is the fact that the AI is a little, what's the word, strange. For instance, if the enemy attacks you, sometimes it will attack you with a crap load of X-wings or infantry. I have also had issues with my own units. Like, I would tell a ship to attack something that is within range of it's weapons, having destroyed something right next to it, and my ship responds by flanking it, or simply turning around and running. All of that could probably be fixed with an update or two. I give it five fun stars because this game kept me entertained for 4 months straight as my only game. I only give it 4 overall because the AI is a little funky, and when all your ships turn around and run in the crucial moment of a battle, it tends to aggrevate the best of us. I look forward to the Forces of Corruption Expantion.
Boring....................................................
when i first purchased this game I thought it would have action not strategy. all you do is command not live the battles. When I first played it i nearly fell asleep. Dont buy this crappy game.
Not terrible
I had high expectations for this game... but I think it falls short. The campaigns are a bit rigid and don't leave much room for player improvisation. For actual battles, an organized way of using units tactically is very difficult to come by. ^M
