PS, lots of cool Flash videos at the review link at the top of this page.

Found a demo here too.

Not sure yet if this game supports multiplayer or not.
I do not buy any game unless I can battle online.

Getting the demo now...

So what'd you think of it, corey? I think the demo has some bugs, at least for me. It worked fine for my friend.

I'm not sure about the game itself, it seems pretty complicated, much more so than starcraft or warcraft. It hasn't really hooked me yet.

Demos always have bugs, think of them as a beta.

I like the game, in fact I got the full version.
Never did get the demo, to many were DL'ing it, and the connection was soggy.

What I like about it is it will tell you when you fire it up if there is an update.
Click yes, the game exits, and gets the new patch.
Not as swift as World Of Warcrafts or Steams updater for Half Life 2 and Counter Strike Source, but it is nice that they let you know there is an update for it.

Graphics are good, and of course StarWars music always rocks.
My youngest son will try it out this weekend when my boys come over.

Both my sons were really into Starcraft and the old Warcraft, so they should be pretty comfortable playing this.

Me, I never really got into this type of game where you have to click on your players and take stuff out of your inventory, I like the ease of first person shooters much better.

I can not wait, UT 2007 will be out by years end hopefully.

Also put all settings on the max for this Starwars game, and it looks very nice.

I may get into it later, and perhaps if members get it, we can start up a clan or whatever later.
