Posted by John Grothier - PC - UK and Europe A long time ago in a galaxy not too far away, good Star Wars games were hard to find. Just lately, however, a few rather good games based on the popular movie franchise have been released, and Star Wars: Empire at War looks like continuing the trend. LucasArts are giving PC players the opportunity to control the fate of the galaxy in an all new real-time strategy (RTS) game titled Star Wars: Empire at War. The games story is set a few years before the events of Episode IV A New Hope, and the game will give players the opportunity to rewrite history - as well as experience the aftermath of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, the creation of the Rebel Alliance, and Darth Vader's inevitable rise to power. Star Wars: Empire at War uses an entirely new game engine created by the Las Vegas-based developer Petroglyph. The game will feature beautifully rendered land and space battles set on memorable planets such as Hoth, Tatooine and Dagobah as well as never-before-seen environments taken directly from the Star Wars films and expanded universe novels. In the game, players can choose to join either the Rebel Alliance or the Galactic Empire, building and setting up tactical forces that can be unleashed on the enemy in real-time 3D. All of the gameplay and action within Star Wars: Empire at War is a persistent, meaning that strategic and tactical elements from previous events will have a permanent effect on the galaxy. As players build, manage and progress their space and ground-based units, troops and vehicles, memorable Star Wars hero characters will begin playing a role in key situations. In addition to the single player campaign mode, the game will include a two-player Empire vs. Rebellion mode and up to eight player online skirmish modes. Star Wars: Empire at War is scheduled for a release in this autumn.
