Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic takes place just a few years after the Mandolorian Wars, thousands of years before the events in the Star Wars movies we know and love. Two Jedi, master Revan and his apprentice Malak, led the Republic's forces to victory and pursued the Mandalorians into deep space only to return as Dark Jedi at the head of a huge fleet of Sith warships. Its your task to find out why. The storyline could have been a standard coming-of-age yarn, but is instead a genuinely interesting adventure which gradually unravels your connection with these events. The game's planet-hopping adventures are driven by your exploration of these connections and how they relate to your larger goal of discovering the source of the Sith's sudden fleet. During your adventure you can explore side quests minor (such as racing swoops or gambling) and major (such as uncovering the fascinating back stories of your companions). Star Wars fans will get a kick out of the rich lore introduced in the game, particularly the Tatooine storyline that reveals the origin and history of the Sand People. Gameplay is an abbreviated form of Wizards of the Coast's d20 Star Wars RPG game system. The player creates a character as a member of one of three starting classes (soldier, smuggler, scout) and then later chooses a Jedi class (guardian, consular, sentinel). Joining the player's character are other Jedi, warriors, thieves, droids, a wookiee, and even a Mandolorian. Combat is real-time turn-based, meaning the turns are seamless but the player has the option of pausing the action at any time to issue orders or direct any character to use a certain Force power, ability, feat, or item. Graphics range from adequate to exceptional. Lightsaber graphics and environmental effects (like waving grass, clouds, and weather) bring the world to life. Complete with sounds straight out of the movies, the thrilling combat is Minimize

Universal conquest, armed invasion of alien planets, Wookie ... Read more

Universal conquest, armed invasion of alien planets, Wookiees with hairy flares and X-Wing fighter squadrons. They're all in Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds and they're all, happily, superb. Star Wars games have had a chequered history on the PC, ranging wildly between the very good (X-Wing/TIE Fighter) and the utterly awful (Force Commander). It's great to see, then, that LucasArts are firmly back on track with their newest PC release, a real-time strategy affair based on the highly successful Age of Empires engine. There's nothing essentially new here for the hardened RTS gamer. Resources need to be mined, units built and technologies researched in the race to crush the opposition. All of this is handled in time-honoured format--build workers, cut down things, process the results through factories and hardware pops out at the end of the process. What gives this the edge is the Star Wars setting and the quality of the graphics, which are visually appealing and stay accurate to the wealth of Star Wars information that already exists. There are six basic "races": human Rebels, the Empire, Gungans, Wookiees, the Trade Federation and the Naboo, each with their own specific weapons and tools--there's nothing quite like sending a squadron of AT-ATs into battle and watching them smash the Alliance to bits. The sound helps massively here with dozens of samples included that sound very much as though they've been taken from the movies. In addition to the standard hardware afforded each side, Force alliances come into play and it's possible to side with either the Jedi or the Sith depending on your preference. It's also possible to conjure up Jedi Knights and Sith Dark Lords. Unit balancing is pretty good here, there are no invulnerable units, everything has definite strengths and weaknesses and if you think tactically there are ways around any problem, provided you have the resources. Tactically, the computer plays a nifty game and doesn't make too many silly mistakes making this a great one-player experience. Moving to the multiplayer game takes things to a whole new level, however, and provides genuinely exciting gaming. As an addition to the current family of Star Wars games, Galactic Battlegrounds is a real winner, combining depth of gameplay with a genre that's familiar to the vast majority of gamers. This is top stuff. --Redfoo Khanzada Minimize
