Still the same game I remember, classic Doom-like action, just looks much nicer and has some decent QOL improvements. Get it on a sale :)
Manage your spies, assassins, resources, bases and fleets while exploring the galaxy and building up your forces to control it. It's a VERY old game. The 3D graphics are VERY ropey. The Fast setting goes too fast and the Slow setting too slow so you spend most of your time speeding through the days until something happens, at which point you desperately change it to Slow before something bad occurs. Despite all these issues, I can easily spend hours playing this game. I love the immersion, the idea of playing with all the Star Wars toys and creating my own saga, with it's own twists and turns: Han and Chewie got caught sabotaging an Imperial planet! Do you try to rescue them, or just invade it? Do you send Luke? Bad luck, he's gone to Dagobah. It needs a long list of QOL improvements, but if you can put up with the quirks, the age and the micromanaging, you'll find yourself engrossed in this galactic strategy.
Could never get into 3, but this one I'm regularly wasting a Sunday afternoon with. Graphics that still hold up and look nice, great sound... love it.
