User Comments about the Star Wars Empire At War Gold Pack (PC DVD)

The product is consistent with other lucas arts products. I do wish they'd develop another fly fighting game moreso than these strategy battles.



no complaints. Product came on time, sealed and new like it was stated. Not bad I must say. great service. would buy from this seller again.



I like the graphics and the game's features, having heros is fun, as well as the space stations and different forms of combat: space and land.



Fun game, build up your forces for ground and space combat. Now this is a fun game for anyone who has ever wanted to command a fleet of star destroyers. Like me. Concur planets and set fleets to protect them, command legendary characters such as Luke, wedge, mon mothma, Vader, han solo, boba fett.Absolutely worth a play.



I like the planetary conquest setup, where you get more credits based on the number of planets you control. Once you've done that, it takes forever for them to overcome enemy positions or groups. There's nothing like taking the Death Star and assaulting Alderaan, blowing it to smitherines and cackling all the while.On the other hand, the land battles are slow, plodding, boring and dull. Barely.Don't get me wrong. Even on the game's fastest settings, the land battles are still an exercise in patience, or lack thereof.The graphics and sound effects are fine, and the game runs smoothly enough.


To make matters worse, you're limited on the amount of forces you can bring down to a planet, so the slowness can't really be alivated. Always have. This game is, at various times, oodles of fun and a major test of patience.I like "Star Wars". Games like "X-Wing" and "TIE Fighter" (both aching for new versions. Since that's about half the game, you can see where we have a problem. The video games for the series have generally been pretty good, too. Even once you've done THAT, you might get stuck spending several minutes knocking down a building.


acceptable. It takes forever to move your people and machinery around. Parts of it are great. You listening, Lucasarts)., "Knights of the Old Republic", and the various "Lego Star Wars" games have all been excellent.This game, sadly, departs from that legacy and is just. The space battles are wonderfully fun. In fact the only thing I don't like about the game is the land battles.
