Jeeez they were a bit harsh :(

I guess this is going to be one of these games you either love or hate:

the graphics are not particularly pleasant

frankly it can look a bit **** even if there are more than 300 different unit types

There's still plenty lacking

Lacks depth in places

Pathfinding can prove troublesome

The similarity of some unites is a more serious flaw. Using a magnifying glass to work out who's got a gun and who's got a plum can take up valuable seconds in the battlefield

They scored it 84% and put it on par with Red Alert 2 and Conquest: Frontier Wars

and they do say at the end that it's a fine RTS and one of the best Star Wars games to grace a pc.

:D lol and they showed a little guide to creating levels with the editor by creating the scene in the original where Luke and C-3PO go of looking for R2-D2, complete with Tuscan raiders :D

I can't wait, no matter what any review says, I've been wanting this game for years - incidentally Star Wars lego was my idea about 16 years ago, only nobody bothered to ask me :D

No I bought the mag today, I checked the site earlier and they don't have it yet.

If I've got time this weekend I'll copy it up myself and post it over at Battlegrounds UK and let you know :)

I used to build x wings out of the bits of lego that had hinges :D and used the flat panels like the grass for wings for tie fighters lol

Well, 84% (plus the fact that both RA anmd Conquest got something similar ) make it a good review in my humble opinion ...

like i have alreday said, you can have darth mauls ship and it can cloak!!
can it transport units though, and can the ewoc glider, i think pc zone said yes but not in so many words

it would be so cool to have darth maul gurded by boba fetta along with a couplle of probe droids in the cloaking darth mauls ship.

i think we all know pretty much what to expect from this game, and wow i realy want it!
when does it come out in the uk shops?
