Empire at War!

Ok, so no, I wasn't too thrilled when I first tried out SW: Empire at War. For some reason, it just seemed a lot harder than WC3. There is a ton of multitasking which, as I've mentioned somewhere before, I'm horrible at doing. I don't multitask. If I do, it is the bare minimum of what could be considered multitasking!

Now that time has passed, I've retried, several times, SW: EaW, and have now found that it has grown on me. So far I've only played the easy lvl, which is still hard to me. After many trial and errors of how to play the game, I've finally managed to beat the ai. It's a very simple way to beat it actually.

No, I will not spoil it by telling you what to do, unless you ask and want me too. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to playing it more now. I'm doing a lot of single campaigns so I can get used to the gameplay more for the day we all play that when we want to play something different than WC3! Go buy it!

The graphics remind me of Command & Conquor for some reason. I do like that you can zoom in and out on the land battles, though it isn't really that usefull other than to look at the action up close and personal. I still find it difficult to watch in the cinematic mode because you can't control your troops there, only watch them, which could be bad if the battle turns against you. Of course all you have to do is get out of the cine mode and take back control, but that's annoying. Cinematic works best for me in space battles, for when your force (haha, get it?)is big and strong enough, all you have to do is watch your fleet destroy the rebel scum! I mean the Empire... yeah.

One great thing when you are the Emire, and I'm sure it's the same with the Rebels when I do that one, at least in single campaign mode, is when you are controlling Darth Vader, or even the Emperor. You can almost use them to clear the entire map! Yes, they are that powerful! One key factor to it though is to make bacta tanks. If not, yer toast! Why the Sith need to sit in a bacta tank and Obi Wan doesn't you may ask? Well, choose yer path and find out!

Choose your destiny...
