Star Wars - Force Commander (PC)

I was wetting my pants in anticipation when I first heard this game was coming. Command and Conquer but with Star Wars vehicles and creatures - what more could I wish for. And then (after having pre-ordered) I got the game... and... I almost cried. It is absolutely appalling and LucasArts should be truly ashamed on a tired and shoddy cash-in. I have been a fan of LucasArts in the past - Dark Forces was an excellent game, but this is poo on your shoe. The graphics are pretty poor, with ugly wireframes drawn round units when you select them, and badly textured terrains. The sound is also pretty lame, although having the Star Wars tune ringing in my ears ...  Read the complete review

What a terrible game Star wars Force Commander is. I bought it after hearing good reviews of it. I got it home, installed it and thought" what have I bought" Graphics are very blocky. The screen is very slow as there is a lot for the processor to handle. The game is jerky, the gameplay is useless and the idea behind it is poorly thought out. you take control of the Empire so straight away you are fighting for the forces of evil. Not a good idea. The missions are very similar. Destroy everything else/ Get inside a building/ capture some installation. I was very dissapointed and almost took it back to get a refund of my £29.99. ...  Read the complete review

Having played FC to the best of my abilities, I have to say that I was wrong to give it 4 stars. It is pathetic. After the first 4 or 5 missions the game becomes stupidly hard to play. The computer gives you enough time to build up a small army before attacking you with the biggest one you have ever seen, giving you no chance whatsoever. Add the fact that there are no difficulty settings and the game becomes too hard to be enjoyable. The graphics are terrible and even on really low detail, the game still runs far to slow! It is hard to see why a game looking this bad needs such a good machine to run it. Ground Control looks far better and runs about 3 times faster. The ...  Read the complete review

I think not a long wait for a Star wars strategy game. I was expecting this to be awesome. The missions are set around the time of the Star Wars films and you will notice this. Graphics: Crap even on a 32bit card I am running the tnt2 ultra gamer, 196mb ram and a P2 300 not the latest spec but boy you don`t see slowdown as bad as this (not all the time) The plus side good storylines, video I am in two minds I can` honestly say I would recommend this at the same time I know the die hard Star Wars fan will get it (me) ...  Read the complete review

I've read a lot of bad reviews for this game, and I find this criticism totaly baseless. Force Commander is one of the best games(if not the best game) I've ever played, at first the complex camera angles are difficult but if you play through the training missions enough they become easier. The graphics and storyline are great and if you like Star Wars I deffinately recomend to part with your fourty dollars, the most fun unit to control is the At-At, especially in groups, because they obliterate everything in their way so easily. For a Star Wars gamer this game would be sheer fun, if weren't a Star Wars fan myself, I'd give the game a four star rating, ...  Read the complete review
