Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great game, but limited gameplay
Great game overall. I played Star Wars Rebellion (the game which this apparently was based off of) back in the '90s, and really enjoyed it. When I saw the trailer for Empire at War, it was like an updated version of Rebellion. Empire at War is great because you control everything from the large-scale economic/industrial growth (like creating factories and economic centers on different planets) to commanding the movement of different fleet all the way down to commanding individual ships/units in ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A lot of fun if you recognize what it is

You control troops and vehicles on the planet surface, building and preparing and working out a strategy for capturing enemy bases and building up reserves of both defenses and credits (which does strike me as funny; I thought basically the Empire just took what it wanted, eh?).

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Game is Fun! No Problems!
Game has worked great, seemed to crash once, hasn't since and it's been a lot of fun.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I Lost My Husband
Apparently this game is a huge hit.
I gave this game to my husband as a gift and we have had only rare sightings of him since.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Completely unusable on MacBook Pro
Main menu is not readable (appears as blue/gray boxes) and makes the game completely unusable. Buyer beware! (running on OS X Tiger 10.4.11 with Empire 1.05 Rev A).
