all games

Everything looks great - it should be very fun. Even the pleasure of wiping out Jar Jar and all his kin doesn't make up for the fact that this game requires you to spend FAR too much time managing your units, tech levels, structures, etc. There are few opportunities for any tactics other than 'build to the highest tech level, then swarm the other guy'. This gets old FAST.

Total Annihilation, for example, is the granddaddy of RTS games, but still has the best gameplay I know of. You can go high tech, or swarms of low tech, or whatever, and there are many many different ways to win any given level. Not true w/ Star Wars:GB. Ya kinda gotta do it the way they envisioned it, and by the time you collect the FOUR different resource types, build a few dozen buildings, and upgrade ten technologies, you (or at least I) am mighty tired of clicking.

The software also crashes my G4 800 running OS 10.1 pretty regularly. Only a full restart will bring it back up. The only other software capable of doing this is Microsoft Internet Exploer.

All in all, pretty dissapointing. I'll go back to playing my 4 year old copy of Total Annihilation.

If you have played Age of Empires II, it won't take very long to get the hang of this game. However, that might make this game boring if you've worn out your interest of that game. Even so, the AE II engine has been completely reworked into the Star Wars Galaxy, with much of the familiar characters, vehicles, and planets of the movies. Playing the scenarios lets you use various main characters such as Darth Vader and Chewbacca. Many sound bytes have been used from the various movies, though a few get overused, especially the "Ahh!!" when some units get killed. The graphics are decent and it ran well on my G4 400 which is getting too slow for most newer games.
Despite the fact that most of the game feels like Star Wars, it would have been interesting if more unique units and features were available since in regular game play, it doesn't matter how many resources you have gathered or how advanced your technologies are, you aren't going to get the Millennium Falcon or a Star Destroyer. At least you can get an AT-AT or X-wing. Overall, I recommend Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, especially for Star Wars fans. I just have to wonder if there is a Spaceballs mod out there somewhere??

I used to like this game. was kind of fun. not it bores me out out of my wits. Let's start out with the graphics. Ok, the Millenium Falcon is huge in the movie, but in the game...(sigh)its the size of about ten people. Lets look at the Jedi and Sith. The only difference between the two is that they fight differently with different colered light sabers. If a jedi comes to an enemy building, why the heck would he hack at it with his LIGHTSABER? Its also a frame rate of oh, 3?! Now lets look at the mechs. There are, count em, 4 DIFFERENT MECHS! AWESOME! The Pummel has...whoa...2 ATTACK! there are also about 10 maps. the campaigns are just disproportionately boring. Chewbacca has a crossbow, yet he shoots lasers! How can ewok hang gliders hover? Why can't they just fly in a circle like airplanes in Empire Earth? Also theres about 10 different animals. The terrains are boring. Grass and dark grass. If you walked by and said hi to a Gungan medic, would she\he\whatever say stupidly, "Just a fleshy wound!"? Echuu Shen-Jon is a black character, but in the game he's white. C-3PO Can't walk that fast! Ok, Ok, Ok lets just leave it at that there are no Pros and many Cons. I hate this game. People who think this game is "The BEST GAME IN THE UNIVERSE", should breathe deeply and rethink their life.
