Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds (PC, 2001)

I'm not a real big fan of RTS's, but Galactic Battlegrounds was a much different experience for me. I'll admit that it's likely due to the Star Wars lincense attached to it. I found the license itself was used very well. The sound is classic Star Wars, and they've made lots of Characters and Vehicles from the universe available to the players. There are also a number of building and unit upgrades to set your sights on. The graphics are clear, and do the job. Although they still serve their purpose, they have aged well when you compare it to the RTS's that have followed it.

As far as the gameplay goes, I found it very addictive. Not so much the main game mind you. I barely played the campaigns included in the game. It was the map creation mode that kept me up to 3am on more than one occassion. Building then playing my own maps was fun, easy, and intutive. I fought the battles I wanted to fight. I loved every minute of it. And there was an abundance of those minutes. Online play is also available to take your gameplay even further.

Still a joy to get into, I would recommend it to RTS and Star Wars fans alike.

Star War Galactic!
Is a game complet
I Love it beacause you manage your resources and execute single or multiplayer battles as you or your team deploy your armies!!

Star Wars is one of my favourite film sagas and favourites for video games! I like strategy games that take strategic thinking and I can't wait to beat this game on single player mode for the original version and the Clone Campaigns expansion!

This is one of the Worst RTS games ever created. It is 1995 RTS technology being sold to a 21 century gamming generation and only hopes to pass the sloppy graphics and phinicy game play by attaching the name "star wars" to it. The controls are the simple but the animation is choppy and the story line leaves no supprises. I expected a lot more from lucus arts. It is hard to believe that a game as great as starwars battle front and this monstrocity could have been made by the same company. If you are looking for a star wars RTS I would have to recomend Star Wars an empire at war. Not the greatest RTS in the world but next to this pice of crap it is a God send.

My children, ages 8 and 14, LOVE this game. As a mom, I could do without all of the dying noises, but if you're a Star Wars fan and a computer gamer, you'd enjoy this game. The kids like the different scenarios/stories in the game.
