Amazon.com Product Description:
Star Wars: Empire at War (Collector's Edition) is a Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game that is, quite simply, amazing in its scope and grandeur. This game has all the elements that both hard-core Star Wars fans and dedicated strategist gamers are looking for. In Empire at War, you must fight battles in space and on the ground, giving the game a dual-layered design that forces you to operate on both an involved strategic level as well as a tactical level. Add epic-looking battles with dozens of great touches, outstanding sound effects that you've come you've come to expect from LucasArts, the contrasting play styles enabled by playing either the rebellion or the empire, and a broad array of unforgettable characters, and you've got a game that lets you truly immerse yourself in the Star Wars universe.

Land battles are highly enjoyable and extremely challenging, involving heavily armored AT-ATs and more. View larger.

The storyline of Star Wars: Empire at War occurs between the two trilogies through the end of "A New Hope." As a player, you'll be involved in virtually every aspect of the conflict between the Rebels and the Empire. You must simultaneously manage your economy, develop technology, build factories, planetary defenses, ships, and space stations, as well as get information on new planets and maneuver your various forces around the galaxy. Unlike some strategy games that are decided by who has hoarded enough resources to overwhelm the enemy, it is just as important to build your forces up in an intelligent fashion in order to take over the galaxy. And to ensure that you're never allowed to sit back and relax, everything all happens in real time, so if you spend too long considering what to build or where to send your fleet, you'll be inviting a massive, debilitating attack from the computer.

Star Wars: Empire at War has a huge number of variables you'll need to consider. Many planets have unique bonuses, such as allowing certain units to be created more powerfully or cheaply, thereby increasing your credit income by different degrees, as well as only allowing the largest ships like Mon Calamari cruisers and Imperial Star Destroyers to be built on certain planets. And the Empire and Rebels obviously both have their differences. The Empire usually generates a lot more money, which it can use to eventually overwhelm the rebel forces if left unchecked, but it has to find them first by sending out probe droids to seek out their forces. The Rebels, on the other hand, have far fewer resources, which can make them more difficult to play and learn, but they can steal technology and sneak raiding parties past many of the Empire's space defenses. And each of the two sides has their own distinct Hero units, which can be extremely powerful and can sway the course of battle greatly. You can use Palpatine or Mon Mothma to reduce a planet's production costs; C3PO and R2D2 to steal technology or hack into an enemy's turrets and turn them against their own troops; Darth Vader to force-push entire groups of enemy soldiers on land; or Boba Fett to crush concentrations of fighters by dropping seismic charges in space. To balance out these massive powers, both sides can hire generic bounty hunters to try and eliminate a rival hero from the game.

While the land battles in Star Wars: Empire at War are highly enjoyable and extremely challenging, involving heavily armored AT-ATs and more, the space battles are truly breathtaking. Seeing a Star Destroyer crawling with bright-blue ion energy, watching an entire wave of X-wings explode into flame, or witnessing a fully-armed and operational Death Star blow a planet to smithereens are unparalleled experiences in this galaxy or any other. And the visual and sound effects aren't the only thing that will amaze you during a space battle. The bigger units like space stations and Star Destroyers all have hard points pertaining to different systems. You can target these different systems to cripple ships in different ways, taking out their shield generator, weapons system, or engines to reduce their effectiveness, or taking out the hanger on Imperial capital ships to thin out their fighter cover. And as you destroy a cannon or shield generator, that piece will break off and float away, and while most ships eventually explode, the Mon Calamari Cruisers and Imperial Star Destroyers will actually tear in to pieces that continue to linger throughout the battle. What's more, you always need to watch out for ships the AI (artificial intelligence) might be hiding in asteroid belts, waiting to spring them on the flanks of your fleet at the worst possible moment.

The strategic layer of Empire at War takes place on a two-dimensional galactic map showing you all the planets. In the full campaign mode, you must consider and plan around more than 40 such planets, whereas in some of the simpler conquest scenarios, you may end up dealing with as few as eight or 10 of them. Instead of playing in the campaign mode, you can play multiplayer matches over a LAN or online with up to eight players. The LucasArts' matchmaking system makes finding an opponent easy, and if you are playing a head-to-head match against a friend, you have the ability to save a match and reload it to continue at a later time. Delivering a presentation that is as epic as the films themselves, Star Wars: Empire at War is ideal for any fan of strategy games, and absolutely necessary for Star Wars aficionados.

This Collector's Edition is also packed with bonuses, including five new playable Skirmish maps that span the galaxy from the shipyards of Kuat, to land and space battles on Ryloth and Polus. You also get exclusive concept art that illustrates the evolution of the game's look, and two screensavers that celebrate the Star Wars universe with X-wings, TIE fighters, and a demonstration of the Empire's ultimate weapon -- the Death Star. Plus the Collector's Edition ships with four wallpaper images and a 3D lenticular package.

- A real star wars Rebellion
Star Wars Empire At War is the way the old Star Wars Rebellion
game should of shipped back in the 1990's. The graphics are excellent and the game is not as long and slow as the original Rebellion game. the only thing they need to improve on this gamewould be to add more of the chracters from the original rebellion game like Admiral Griff and Thrawn on the Empire side and Wedge Antilles on the side of the Republic , they could also expand the game out by adding a Clone war addon and also ...

- Building on Rebellion
'Star Wars: Empire at War' is the game most gamers and Star Wars fans were hoping for when they got 'Rebellion' many years ago. 'Rebellion' was a real time strategy in which you built fleets and conquered the galaxy planet by planet in an attempt to overthrow the Empire or subdue the Rebel Alliance depending on which side you chose.

'Rebellion' was lacking in many areas. For one, there was ground based combat for the player to control. Sure, you could make armies of Storm Troopers ... Read More

- Fun but its missing something
The concept and gameplay is great in my opinion, but they took too many short cuts on the sound and graphics. Multiplayer is annoying if you use a router or have a firewall because it disconnects a lot. Nice game but it could have been ALOT better.

- Reviewing Collectors content
This game is worth 4.5 stars, but the collectors content isn't. For $10 dollars extra, it's just not worth it. One of the screensavers is nice, and the extra maps are good, and the shiny box is cool, but not for the price. For a excellent review of the game, check out the other review. My advice is to get the normal edition and save the money (for Jedi Acadamy?).
