Version: Star Wars: Empire at War demo
"Don't buy the full game without reading my review."
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.

Had the full game for half a month, no complaints. Amazing game. Closest thing to a computer problem I've had is a bug where the icons in EAW screw up. But if you get the Forces Of Corruption expansion, you'll only find yourself going into the original to play the campaigns anyways.
Sorry to hear you've had a screwed up experience with such a spectacular game.
In the original game, you're right - the land battles are disgustingly bland - but Petroglyph gave them a real boost in FOC.
