Star Wars: Empire At War PC comments

Star Wars: Empire at War puts the power to command an entire war for the Star
Wars galaxy in the hands of players, giving them the freedom to determine how
they play the game within the completely scalable and accessible gameplay. Set a
few years before the events of Episode IV A New Hope, LucasArts’ new PC game
lets players wage war on ground and in space, as well as experience the creation
of the Rebel Alliance, the strengthening of the Empire and the beginnings of the
Galactic Civil War.

Using an entirely new game engine created by the Las Vegas-based developer
Petroglyph, Empire at War features beautifully rendered land and space battles
set on memorable planets such as Yavin IV, Tatooine and Dagobah, as well as
never-before-seen environments taken directly from the Star Wars films and
expanded universe novels. In the game, players choose to join either the Rebel
Alliance or the Galactic Empire, building and setting up tactical forces to
unleash upon the enemy in real-time 3D. Memorable Star Wars hero characters can
be brought into the action to help turn the tide of the battle as players build,
manage and upgrade their space and ground-based units, vehicles, troops and base structures.
