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 completely scalable and accessible gameplay. Set a few years before the events of Episode IV A New Hope, LucasArts’ Empire at War lets players wage war on the 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.

Nice game, if you can play it.
I'm sure this is tons of fun, judging by the tutorials. Sadly, a bug currently causes certain versions of EaW to crash upon loading saved games, rendering the game essentially unplayable, and I am experiencing that very problem. I contacted Aspyr's customer service department to inquire about a possible ETA for a patch to fix the problem on affected releases of this title, and unfortunately the response was: a long time from now, in a galaxy far, far away... maybe.

Space war gameplay like movie
This is a very nice game.strategy game base on Star Wars movie. actually i am not an Star Wars fans but kinda like the movie. This game is same like other strategy gameplay like Total War ect. But this game is more complex because our war on land and outer space. all aircraft and soldier is adapted from original movie. the graphic is awesome. and the coolest feature is when we on war or not we can make the camera like real movie on widescreen watching the battle on movie perspective, i never find this feature on others game. How about music??? awesome!!! taked from original movie. So for anybody who like strategy game this is you must have.really recommended!!!!
