    "Don't buy the full game without reading my review."

    June 30, 2008  |   By Joan1.0

    Version: Star Wars: Empire at War demo

    Pros

    Fun at first.

    Cons

    Demo takes forever to download, you can't really do much, if you buy the game you not only quickly find out how boring the game is, it screws up your computer. Me and my friends all have totally different computer models, being Star Wars fans we all bought it, and had to delete it within a month cause it was screwing our PCs up. These fan reviews are mostly from people who dont have the game yet. I know. I was reading these reviews before I got the demo, and bought the game. I thought it would be just as good as youre thinking it will be. If you like space battles buy Homeworld 2. These land battles suck majorly. It's really painful, as a Star Wars fan, to be assaulting Hoth with AT-ATs and full battalions of snowtroopers, and have fifteen rebels with blaster pistols and three with rocket launchers destroy your entire force. Ask someone reasonable who has had the game for a little while if it's fun. If they've had it for well over a week they will probably know how good it is. Sincerely sorry everybody for bursting your bubble.

    "Truly Star Wars"

    November 28, 2006  |   By mauro_vos

    Version: Star Wars: Empire at War demo

    Pros

    +Extremely cool looking space battles with nebula, asteroids and moving planets (!).

    -Somewhat borring though, after a while.

    +Loads of mods to be downloaded.

    +Map editor. -Doesn't work on my pc.

    +Lots of maps can be uploaded from other players, created with the map editor. Units that 'auto-spawn' won't be counted in the pop cap, this should compensate the cap in space.

    +Land battles are fun anyway.

    +Darth Vader and Obi-Wan (and others).

    +Galactic Conquest, just like in Battlefront.

    +Very simple to create a new account, all you need is a nickname and a password.

    +Star Wars fans MUST get this game.

    Cons

    +Map editor. -Doesn't work on my pc.

    -Small scale land battles, so you won't exactly be able to reproduce the battle of Geonosis from episode II.

    -Also because of the pretty low population cap. Annoying in space.

    I thought my full game review could help you deciding about downloading the demo version.

    -No Super Star destroyer or playable Death Star. (you need the expansion)

    -Poor construction capabilities on both land and in space.

    -Larger amounts of infantry woud make the game more realistic. (battalion of 9)

    "Very fun, and quite a large demo"

    October 30, 2006  |   By jouno53

    Version: Star Wars: Empire at War demo

    Pros

    This demo besides being Star Wars (the best thing every) if very fun. You get to play 90% of the tutorials and 1 skirmish mission. I would highly reccomend this to anyone interested in buying this game.

    Cons

    The only thing I don't like is that the download speed was about 65kb/s instead of the usual 150.

    "Fair, Not Great but fair."

    October 22, 2006  |   By megarollman

    Version: Star Wars: Empire at War demo

    Pros

    Realistic models of Star Wars ships and characters. Great cinematic mode.

    Cons

    In cinematic mode ships fly through each other and space stations. Random camera placement without user input.

    VERY SLOW PLAY!! Limited troop and/or ship count available during battle. Extrememly small maps.
