IGN: Review Artikel & Video

Auf IGN.com wurde ein Review zu Empire at War gepostet! Doch anders als erwartet erzielt Empire at War dort nur eine mittelmäßige Wertung: Die Tester bemängeln dort, dass dem Spiel taktische Tiefe fehlt und für das Setting nicht aufregend genug ist.

Star Wars: Empire at War definitely scores big in terms of style. Gamers who are looking for an authentic Star Wars experience will not be disappointed with this one. It evokes all the charm and excitement of the childhood action figure wars that have been fought all across the nation over the last thirty years. When you add in the great sense of scale and the comprehensive roster of units available, Empire at War is like the ultimate digital toy box, at least for the original trilogy.
What really stinks is that the actual gameplay isn’t exciting enough to support the setting. Admittedly, the developers are hampered by the two-sided nature of the fight and by the limited roster of units, but there’s just no escaping the sense of repetition that starts to kick in after the first few hours. You’ll still enjoy seeing the units fight it out in front of your eyes but you just won’t care as much about the tactics of it all.

So setzt sich die Wertung bei IGN zusammen:

Präsentation: 8.5/10
Grafik: 8.0/10
Sound: 8.0/10
Gameplay: 6.5/10
Motivation: 7.5/10
Gesamtwertung: 7.6/10 (Gut)
