Version: Star Wars: Empire at War demo
"RTS with Combat Emphasis"
Pros: The first thing I noticed about the demo was how great the sound was. The game does a great job of using Star Wars music and sound effects, everything from blasters to the distinct utterings of Chewbaca. When issuing commands to your units you'll often hear them responding with quotes from the movies.
The gameplay was excellent and I enjoyed the fact that the emphasis of the action is based on combat and not largely on economics. There's only one resource to gather, which is a relief after playing games that require 5+. The game also has a nice interface making it easy to control different groups of units at the same time, which is a huge plus in any RTS.
Cons: Space combat could have been better if the game allowed 3d movement in space. The hero units feel overpowered (even if it is Star Wars).
