Sorry if theres already a thread for this. I didn’t see one, so…

I’m so pissed of. I bought this game thinking it was gonna be like age of empires, where you get to build little cities and defensive structures and hunt for wookies or something, but instead its more like warcraft, and you just follow the little trails that are already made for you, and theres no exploring and theres its ungodly complicated for as little action that’s involved. Granted, I only played the tutorial and 5 minutes worth of the actual game, but still. I actually nodded off during the tutorial. WTF. If this game doesn’t get better Im gonna trip out. That’s $50 I could have put toward another sled dog.

I downloaded the demo and it was good, but I decided to waste my money on something else.

Haven't played it myself. EB(pretty much the only video game store around here)has a 7 day return policy. So if you're quick, you can get your money back.

We don't have anything like this where I live. That's just sad because the only videgames you can rent where I live are Xbox games on Blockbuster. The games are mostly awful games or games that you need to buy, not to rent (Why would anyone rent GTA:SA?)

I agree, EAW is terrible, one of the world system conquering thingies can't be completed because the system isn't full connected, that and most of your starting force is on planet that you can't even reach. I was expecting something Star Wars: Total War. What I say is, Lucas Arts should stick to adventure games, such as Monkey Island 5, Grim Fandango 2, Indiana Jones, and stop making Star Wars games, give them to someone that knows what the fuck they are doing. But thats just my two pence.
