This game, at first, I felt was going to be the same as previous games that I have played in this genre. However, I found the Galactic Empire game exciting and it held my attention span for a lot longer than most other games. I loved the vividness of the colours, and the graphics that are used are so up to date that it is incredible. In some respects, I did compare this game to another similar game, Star Wars, but I discovered that it did not lack in pace, as I found that Star Wars did.
I enjoyed the way that different characters interacted with each other, as well as the cool light reflection of the characters.
The only way I can explain how much I did enjoy the graphics of Galactic Empire is by quoting a phrase which also summed up the graphics within the critically acclaimed game, Timesplitters 2. The quote is: 'the most retina-scorching barrage of state-of-the-art graphics. . .' also relating to the graphics are the vivid colours used which emphasise the precision detail created by the gamers.
Put it this way: one of my friends asked me a couple of weeks ago about what was the best action game that I was currently playing and for me it had to be Galactic Empire! Since I have
recommended this game to them, they have been raving about it. It is such an awesome combination of action, strategy and space simulation that it leaves a little something for every type of player. It is sort of like a 5X game in space.
I do hope that they bring out a sequel so that i can sink my gaming fingers also into that one, however, sequels never tend to beat the original, which is disappointing. I think it could be especially so in this case, because Galactic Empire will definitely be a tough act to follow.
If you like amazing graphics and want a mind tingling game to play, please purchase this game, of for no other reason than the respect for some finally decent graphics which can hold your attention span until the end. Best of all is that once completed it does not become so boring that you cannot play it over and over again to become a Galactic Empire master! It has so many twists and turns that it has awesome replay value, and random generations help to make sure that it is never the same game twice. Give it a go.
