I am planning on getting this game tomorow and I'd like to know if it's worth buying. The dozens of screenies look good, but i wanna here it from you guys.

Yes, yes, YES! It's probably the most engaging RTS game I've played since Red Alert 2. No annoying resource management; just straight-up Star Wars action. The one thing that really made the game for me was just how intense it was. No, "Yes, m'lord." "Attacking." "Pew, pew." like in many strategy games- everything is urgent and dramatic. The animations are great too- a fight will never look the same twice. You'll need a decent rig, though.

I think it would be worth buying. Like TheTao said you need a nice rig but only if you want to have max graphics. The gameplay is awesome and online play pwns.

One question: would a comp that runs BF2 be able to run EAW?

Well, depends. If your computer can handle SWBF2 with no problems, generally speaking probably it would.

Oh, and should you get it? No question. If you like RTS games, and star wars, definatley reccomend it. If you loved star wars: galactic battlegrounds and star wars: force commander, then you will love Empire @ war. So yeah, if u like the screens and gameplay, you should get it.

Off-topic : Alright, car_gussy!, if I were you, I would exploit either Microsoft© Windows XP Game Advisor or System Requirements Laboratories® in order to determine whether Star Wars : Empire At War could be properly used on the Computer(s) the concerned Microsoft® ActiveX® Controls will be installed on, which will be probably more efficient than comparing this LucasArts video-game with Star Wars Battlefront II...

yeah buy EAW
really cool game

Well, I was out today to get EAW, and i checked my major stores (staples/wal-mart) and NO EAW!

Staples sells office and school supplies. WalMart isnt really good. I suggest going to GameStop if there is one. (It might be only an American company though). U should be EAW at an electronic store.

Off-topic : As clearly precised by moncal' inside his last message, I guess you will have many more chances to get your hands down on Star Wars : Empire At War thanks to "Online Stores", such as Amazon.com, where you will be able to get the concerned LucasArts video-game for interesting Prices, as stated on this web-page...

There's always Electronics Boutique(Canadian store?) and Bestbuy, the ones nearest me always have a rockstar selection of games.

Off-topic : OK, Kyross, the Store you have called "Electronics Boutique" is in fact part of the GameStop® Network - Which means such a a place mustn't be only scattered on Canadian Territories -, as clearly stated on this web-page...

Unfortunately there are no stored specializing in electronics. Well there are but they probably won't have it... Thanks for the Feedback and I'll try getting it from the Internet.

Off-topic : Also, in case you didn't know the existence of such a Specialized Web-Site, car_gussy!, I would highly advise you to look at closely the content of this PriceRunner web-page, which refers to all the possible Locations you could order and obtain Star Wars : Empire At War from...

Of course you should buy Star Wars: Empire at War. It's really a great game with many differant ways you can defeat your opponent. You could kill their leader, destroy all their planets, or just wipe them out, ALL of them...

BUY IT!!!!!!! This game is very very very kool!!! And very easy to mod!!! Kool Mods!!!!!

Off-topic : Well, I assume I shouldn't show so much "understanding" while facing such Troubles, but I am going to simply explain you that GameToast members resembling to you have never been that welcome on this Message-Board, because of the fact they usually post questions whose eventual answers are way far from interesting their respective Authors, additionally to the annoying behavior they adopt opposite to other users of the local Community once Remarks similar to the current one are phrased and submitted to the concerned users...
