5.0 out of 5 stars I'm kind of glad that I held off buying these games...., August 25, 2004

By	OAKSHAMAN "oakshaman" (Algoma, WI United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I held off buying either Galactic Battlegrounds or Clone Campaigns because of reviews that told me that it would be a waste of money if I already had Age of Empires. I see now that this was a bogus opinion. I found this 2 CD set of both games to be a blast- it combined two of my favorite interests- Star Wars and Age of Empires. I mean I've had every version of Age of Empires from the original to the Conquerors expansion and I did not get tired of it. If anything it rejuvenated the whole thing for me. There are plenty of new twists here with new weapontry, technology, civilizations, and scenarios.

Of course there was one advantage to holding off this long to get these games. This jewel case set is MUCH cheaper than buying the two when they first came out. And if you are already familiar with the AOE engine you need no manual.

This is the kind of game that you come home to tired after a full day of work and still end up playing it way too late....

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Multiplayer, October 20, 2004

Good Game --> Stellar price

Any (well almost any) Star Wars fan / Real Time Strategy (RTS) fan will enjoy this game. Galactic Battlegrounds' multiplayer is great particularly because of the ability to create up to 250 units. This entitles for massive scale battles raging over any (again, almost any) of your favorite Star Wars world. It's great especially since the trilogy came out on DVD; it helps draw together the entire Star Wars galaxy.


Really fun with friends and great to have on a boring Saturday afternoon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Star Wars + Age of Empires = A Damn good time, August 29, 2005

By	Auggie "Ben" Doggie (Lindenhurst, NY) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

While not new or groundbreaking, this game is a lot of fun. Especially if you're like me and are a diehard Star Wars fan and you've enjoyed playing Age of Empires. The graphics were pretty good for it's time and the sound is the usual incredible Star Wars experience, gone are the days of X-Wing's terrible voice acting. Each of the sides are similar, but have some of their own unique units. At a time when Star Wars games were don the decline in quality this was a breath of fresh air. It also will run pretty well on a low end machine, in todays times that's hard to come by. It's definitly worth the $9.99 price of admission.
