Civilisations now gain a bonus when allied with other civilisations. The subtle refinements don’t stop there either. There are also new technologies to master including A-wing research, Superconducting Shields and new Droid Upgrades. Maybe LucasArts is hoping that the addition of new units for the original six civilisations will make up for its lack of depth elsewhere.Ī-Wings, Power Droids and Controllable Predators are just a small selection of what’s on offer, and in fairness the complete list of new units is impressive -look out too for much needed Al improvements. Hardened GB players will easily complete both campaigns in a matter of hours. (the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic), but still, just one measly campaign each seems a little restrained on LucasArts’ part. True, the film only introduces two new civilisations For a start there are only two new campaigns. It was a forgone conclusion that Galactic Battlegrounds would expand into the Episode II universe, but this skinny effort is probably not what most GB or Star Wars fans expected.
Add-on packs are notorious for their cost-effective ability to stoke the dying embers of a game’s shelf life and Clone Campaigns is no different.
But let’s put it all in perspective, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns is only an add-on pack and as such you wouldn’t expect it to be on the same epic level as the film. In contrast, the first game to be based on this new cinematic phenomenon is small, decidedly unspectacular and unlikely to be spoken about in anything above a secretive whisper.
