While it's no surprise that the game's fans are hungry for more content, the expansion pack is good enough to attract gamers who passed on the original based on our earlier criticism. Today the team has released a brand new expansion pack, Forces of Corruption, that not only builds on their previous successes but also remedies many of the problems we had with the original game.
Though we loved the overall presentation of the game - specifically the fact that it really felt like Star Wars - we were less than enthused by the predictability of the combats, both in terms of the limited unit rosters and the tiny, straightforward maps. The gang at Petroglyph managed to translate the popular Star Wars franchise into a real-time strategy format, recapturing the magic and appeal of all those backyard action figure wars we fought as kids. Last year's Star Wars: Empire at War seemed like a surefire hit.
