Star Wars: Force Commander, which casts you as one of the Empire's sinister agents, takes the Star Wars universe into the real-time strategy (RTS) genre. The gameplay follows standard RTS control conventions, so anyone familiar with StarCraft, Command & Conquer, and the like will be able to enforce the Emperor's will in no time. Force Commander differs from traditional RTS games by eliminating resource gathering. Instead, players receive command points for accomplishing mission objectives, controlling key buildings, or blowing up enemy units. Command points are used to requisition troops and buildings from an orbiting Star Destroyer. Star Wars fans will find much to love in the plot. Force Commander begins with your small training platoon being ordered to investigate a certain escape pod that has crashed on Tatooine. Caught up in events that will forever change the galaxy, your career takes you to such far away worlds as Tatooine, Yavin, Hoth, Endor--even Coruscant. With each successful mission comes an increase in rank and larger forces of Storm Troopers, speeder bikes, TIE Fighters, and AT-ATs. Being able to take part in the Echo Base assault on Hoth (and other key conflicts from the movies) is a Star Wars fan's dream come true, and we'll be forever grateful to LucasArts for giving us the opportunity to hunt down Ewoks on Endor. --Mike Fehlauer Pros:
- Play as the Imperials or the Rebels, in single player and online
- Fully 3-D units and terrain
- Units gain experience, and surviving units can be used in subsequent missions
- Perfectly authentic sound effects
- Storyline puts you in the pivotal battles of Star Wars
Cons:
- Hefty system requirements
- Occasional texture breaks on the 3-D terrain
- Units not from the movies look out of place
- Ugly interface
Amazon.com Product Description
With its breathtaking 3-D environments, Force Commander draws players into a real-time strategy that is wrapped in a story line intersecting with some of the greatest moments in the Star Wars epic. The game begins just prior to the Empire's search for the droids in Star Wars: A New Hope and ends after Return of the Jedi. Along the way, players experience firsthand the decisive Battle of Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back, plus several new locations and conflicts created exclusively for the game. The intense, real-time nature of the game, coupled with a classic Star Wars story, offers fans and gamers the chance to truly live the adventure. Unique to Force Commander is the opportunity to be a commanding officer of the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire.

 Force commander is awsome May 19, 2002
lets cut to the chase this game is one of the best games out there because of the STORY you're Brenn Tantor
A stormtrooper that gets promoted to a luitenent in the Imperial army the first level has you looking for the escape pod from episode
IIV and ends after episode V the graphics are cool and so is the music But I still Really like the STORY.
 A Good Game But Still not as good as I hoped July 16, 2001
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Like I said in my title, a good game but still not as good as I hoped. First of all to make the game perfectly smooth, you have to have a brand spankin new computer. I have a 450 mhz pentium 2, 128 mb of ram, and an excellent video card. If your comp is anything less, I recommend upgrading your computer befor purchasing this game. The game play is good though. The mission and skermishis are fun, but the game is very limmiting. It's imposible to have as many units on the front intro all at the same time. And the fighters can act stupid sometimes. And something weird is on the back of the box, it shows A-Wings, yet there are no A-Wings in this game. The camera buttons are also very hard to learn, so playing the tutorial is a MUST if you don't know them by heart. The graphics and sounds on this game are remarkable. I mean Even the smallest Stormtrooper, or the largest AT-AT is detailed to the bone. I think this game is supposed to be a recovery for the not so great game, Star Wars Rebellion. (I also have a review about Star Wars Rebellion) Next time, I hope they make a game more like rebellion but much better. With Rebellion a good idea back fired. This game also doesn't hold your intrest very long, at least it didn't for me. Final Verdict: 3.5/5
 Too bad about the interface... April 13, 2001
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
This would have been a great game except for the actual user interface. What a mess! Unless you are a 5th dimensional being with 20 eyes, you got lost while trying to manage the games meandering views. Locking onto troops in order to give them orders is a tortuous exercise. I gave up after two hours and uninstalled this programming mistake. This is another LA game that does'nt live up to it's promise.
Force Commander is the best!! February 23, 2001

For all you Command & Conquer/Star Wars fans this game is for you!
Very Disappointed January 20, 2001
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Maybe I'm not one to talk, but this game was so terrible that I almost cried. First of all, the graphics are not at all great. Then the controls are messed up. Next there's the realism factor. Ground troops can destroy AT-AT's without much trouble, and that makes no sense. I have a list of other problems, but due to the number of curses on it, they probably wouldn't let me put it on the net. So in conclusion, Lucasarts can do a much better job.

Well there is a bounty hunter H.Q. and Clone one too, so there probaly should be a jedi one too.
