In Empire at War, the action takes place both in outer space and on the surface of planets, but the interconnection of the two is one of many important strategic aspects that you'll consider as you make your way through the campaign and galactic conquest scenarios.
The real-time action in Empire at War takes place on two different layers--a strategic layer, and a tactical aspect, which are the battles you fight in space and on land.
The game gives the defender some advantage in that any existing space station in orbit over a planet, as well as planetary defenses like ion cannons or hypervelocity cannons, can contribute to the battle, along with whatever fleet happens to be around.

The video game allows players to control new character Dash Rendar, whose adventures in the game weave in and out of the overall storyline.
The game depicts assisting Dash Rendar in the capture of the Imperial freighter Suprosa, which was carrying the secret plans to the second Death Star.
At one point, the Shadows of the Empire video game was actually going to be centered around Boba Fett, but this decision was changed when LucasArts thought to instead make a Boba Fett game (which has yet to ever be made) and Dark Horse claiming exclusive rights to center their version around Boba Fett.

 PC VIDEO GAME REVIEWS... Empire of the Ants __________|
The anthills are a shade of brown with lots of ants running inside and outside as the game progresses; while the ability to rotate your view is nice, they certainly don't look all that 'sharp'.
At first blush the game looks like a fairly standard real-time strategy game, although the view is zoomed in a great deal for obvious reasons.
Empire of the Ants uses standard mouse controls, like most RTS games, although you can use stuff like the arrow keys to make your life a little simpler.

The main story of the game is fairly interesting, but what is truly amazing, is how it seems to fit in the world of the Jade Empire.
It fits the style of the game, which as mentioned is based on ancient China, and rings of royalty.
All other songs in the game fits their setting as well, from the mellow music in the dying forests, to the cheerful and calm music of places like Tien's Landing and the Two Rivers school, where you start.

 PC VIDEO GAME REVIEWS... Empire Earth __________|
The game is 3D, which is nice, but the units are fairly undetailed, with weak texturing and not many polys.
The game spans what amounts to all of human history, albeit with gaps here and there; you'll find yourself starting off in prehistory, progressing through the Stone Age, Bronze Age and the like, coming up through ancient Greece, and eventually finding your way to the 20th century and beyond.
The game does have a number of bugs--I had structures eating my own units once--but many of them are resolved with a patch that came out on the first day of the game's release.

 Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (video game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
LucasArts's Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire video game was one of the first games made available for Nintendo's 64-bit system, Nintendo 64.
It is based on the Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire multimedia project and takes place as a backstory between Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.

And perhaps it is the game's stunning first level that makes the rest of Shadows of the Empire such a letdown.
While playing Shadows of the Empire, you control Dash as he struggles through ten levels of play, which encompass piloting a snowspeeder, doing battle in the Outrider (a ship resembling the Millennium Falcon), cruising on a speederbike, and running on foot through several levels of Doom-style, first-person shooting.
The game's ambiance is often remarkable; at times you truly feel you are lurking in the bowels of the Empire's darkest corners.

 Star Wars: Empire At War PC Video Game Review by AceGamez
Star Wars games have always been exceptionally well presented, down to the intricate level of detail in the films themselves, but it's usually in the gameplay stakes that they tend to fall down.
Star Wars: Empire at War is a real-time strategy throughout, whilst running along the same lines as the Total War games.
Unfortunately, Empire At War simply doesn't have the gameplay, the sound or the visual flair to make you want to keep playing, whether shifting your troops via the galactic map or fighting off enemies on land or in space.

Empire Earth 2 builds upon the success of its predecessor by adding unique units, powers, leaders, and inherent bonuses to all of the game’s 14 different civilizations.
The game’s artificial intelligence will be more reactive, dynamic, and variable than its predecessor’s, able to adapt to human opponents in ways that are more engaging for the player.
Empire Earth II represents one of the strongest advancements in real-time strategy games to come along in a long time.

Jade Empire’s focus mode, an effect where the player can move faster at will, turns the game to fl and white and images, except the player become blurry, an effect which is gorgeous.
While Jade Empire is not a ‘gore-fest’ there is a significant amount of violence, which usually takes the range of punching, kicking, and the like, but there is blood and players are capable of decapitating human opponents.
The game does show a potential pitfall of heavy drinking, often in the form of making indirect remarks and sarcastic compliments about the wife he married while he was too sick to think about things.

The game needs some tweaking and oiling in places, but if the development team have time to do this, Glory will be a pretty solid strategy game, if not offering much wider appeal beyond fans of the genre.
