Lord JayVizIon Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 they gave it an 8.2, a fun game but also implied it's not innovative enough to some degree... here's the review... SWGB on GAMESPOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygomaticus Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 i can see why the graphics got a 7 honestly i must say this games graphics could be better but i dont see what there is to give it an 8 in gameplay when aok got 9 they r basically the same well still an 8.2 aint so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord JayVizIon Posted November 21, 2001 Author Share Posted November 21, 2001 yeah, but the average rating from 64 fans is 7.3, which is worrisome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygomaticus Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 i never take heed of those ratings those people dont appreciate games a real starwars fan should rate the game i think well anyway could have been worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffdark Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 since this is the first game I've ever owned, I must say it's awsome. I'd give it 9.4. i never played AOE, so i wouldn't matter it it was the same to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygomaticus Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 what do u mean by it being the first game u ever owned anyway i would give it a 9+ too but except the graphics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lord Tirion Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 I am never one for ratings. God gave me a mind of my own, I dont need to let other people tell me what game is good and what is not or the pros and cons of the aspects of a game. I extremely enjoy playing SWGB and I think it is a great game and thats my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthTenor Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 That's interesting. They gave Empire Earth 7.9! ANd most people over at age of heaven/SWGB are dissin GB because EE is 3d. Who cares it's fun and it's Star Wars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tie Guy Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 No reviewers seem to understand the HUGE difference between the units of different civs. On paper they may look similar, but anyone who has played teh game should be able to tell you otherwise.

Guest Wanderer_Man Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 This is what I have found on all the reviews, I highly doubt any of the reviewers really spent time looking/playing the game, they may play for a few hours (or not play it at all as evident in PCGamer) and then throw together a review, but not enough to do it justice, oh well I hope people will trust their own judgement and try it out first before believing blindly in a review.

I hear you tirion, the only thing is that i don't think people are giving the much deserved respect this game should get. it sucks when all the reviewers talk about the gaming being too much of a clone from AOK. they should dig deeper and get more of a feel for the game b/c it has its differences...

Guest Admiral Odin Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 This is why Demo are around. So you can decide for yourself on whether or not you like a game. I buy a game for a few reasons. 1.Watched it Develop and like what the game entails. 2.Looks like fun 3.I've played the Demo and loved the game 4.Somebody I trust recommeded it to me. I never listen to reviewers who I have no idea how they look at things. Is this person an AoE buff, does he not like star wars. Did he ever play AoE. These things and more influence a critic. When you read it you get a biased opion. Make up your own minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GIR Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 I'm a little shaken by the review from Gamespot, but who gives a care I'm getting it even if it got a 6. I've been waiting for this since January when it was announced, and also i have the demo and it rocks hard. I play online everyday, im LAMINATEDSTEAK.

Dvlos Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 Gamespot sometimes pissed me off they get you all excited about buying games then they wait 2 weeks to review it. They talk so good about the civs then they start off with: "Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds will send Star Wars purists into a tizzy. Tauntauns on Tatooine? Dewbacks in outer space? Naboo Fighters tussling with X-Wings that haven't been invented yet? TIE Fighters with shields? And since when do Wookiees have tanks? The Star Wars universe already requires a willing suspension of disbelief, but most fans at least expect some internal consistency. " What the hell is this? Tie's with shields? I think he missed his period cramp pills this morning and wrote the dumbest review ever. Naboo Fighters tussling with X-Wings that haven't been invented yet? The stuff about nova carbon ore and food being AOK's carbon nova ore and food is already mentioned in the preview. The stuff about the aircraft... already mentioned.. I wish they would discuss more their opinions and insight on gameplay, online play, and game balance. We already know this is Star Wars and AoK mixed together it was stupid to reiterate all this again. Too many times Gamespot and PCGamer hype up a game, then slam it around in a review they are confusing like that. How do we know? Has anyone seen Episode 3 yet? Bah the review was alright but if you want suspension of disbelief read the previews, then reread the review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wettis Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 I'm suprised that the game got that good reviews. The low altitude hovering aircraft and the troops that have to be still to fire is enough to break this game all by it self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boba Sith Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 I am suprised about the score as they gave a long list of bad points about the game, then gave it a score of over 8. (GO BOBA SITH! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate ppl running around tellin ya "this game is better than that one, cause it got 0.997 % more at xxx" !! If I played a game and liked it, I buy it, and a bad review doesn't matter !! I fared well with this attitude (save one exception :damn you Demonworld II !!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth_Nixon42 Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 Who gives a smeg about the graphics? I certainly don't, I think the textures of the terrrain and buildings are a million times better than AOK. And here i read that some braindead monkey is writing that they are nothing on AOK ( i think it was Gamespot or something stupid) I am a gameplay over graphics person all the way.....
