Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds

The Good
Very addicting game with a Warcraft III like feel to it, gathering resources and building an empire that will eventually strike at the enemy. There's a lot of options to choose from, lots of maps and so many different units to research and build. The graphics are pretty good, the character animations are really good. (ex. When the Gungans fish (food gathering) they jump into the water repeatedly until they fill their quota and make a drop off) it was rather amusing the first time i saw that.

The Bad
There seems to be no way to rotate the map, buildings, walls, etc which can make building a bit difficult at times. [If there is a way someone PLEASE let me know]. The game doesn't require much PC resources to run, however when you play a big game (200 characters max per team) the game slows down considerably, even freezes up for a short period too, it's really annoying! [i'm sure of course a better PC would correct that particular annoyance]. The attack units (Turrets mainly) can be really "dumb" at times. (ex. When built close enough to enemy units (buildings) they will fire at will (good thing) however when the enemy attack units become aware of this (foot soldiers, siths, etc) they will attack the turrets now rather than stop firing at the buildings and attack the soldiers they continue to fire at the buildings, in turn they take extensive damage, eventually the turrets will "wise up" and do the right thing, too little too late sometimes. All in all though it's a minor flaw. i still love the damn game!

The Bottom Line
Galactic Battlegrounds is a very addictive game, if you like games of this genre than give this one a shot, you'll love it.
