contents

iGames announced that it will host an one-day premiere and two-week showcase for LucasArts' Star Wars: Empire at War at over 150 member centers across North America, including Canada and Mexico. Star Wars: Empire at War puts the power to command an entire war for the Star Wars galaxy in the hands of players, with battles focused on action-packed combat rather than tedious resource gathering. Set a few years before the events of Episode IV: A New Hope, LucasArts' new PC real time strategy game lets players wage war on ground and in space, as well as experience the creation of the Rebel Alliance, the strengthening of the Empire and the beginnings of the Galactic Civil War.

Using an entirely new game engine created by Petroglyph, Star Wars: Empire at War features beautifully rendered land and space battles set on memorable planets such as Yavin IV, Tatooine and Dagobah, as well as never-before-seen environments taken directly from the Star Wars films and expanded universe novels. In the game, players choose to join either the Rebel Alliance or the Galactic Empire, building and setting up tactical forces to unleash upon the enemy in real-time 3D. Memorable Star Wars hero characters can be brought into the action to help turn the tide of the battle as players build, manage and upgrade their space and ground-based units, vehicles, troops and base structures.

Star Wars: Empire at War carries an ESRB rating of 'T' for 'Teen'.
