Empire at War (Collector's Edition)

The strategic layer of Empire at War takes place on a two-dimensional galactic map showing you all the planets. In the full campaign mode, you must consider and plan around more than 40 such planets, whereas in some of the simpler conquest scenarios, you may end up dealing with as few as eight or 10 of them. Instead of playing in the campaign mode, you can play multiplayer matches over a LAN or online with up to eight players. The LucasArts' matchmaking system makes finding an opponent easy, and if you are playing a head-to-head match against a friend, you have the ability to save a match and reload it to continue at a later time. Delivering a presentation that is as epic as the films themselves, Star Wars: Empire at War is ideal for any fan of strategy games, and absolutely necessary for Star Wars aficionados.

This Collector's Edition is also packed with bonuses, including five new playable Skirmish maps that span the galaxy from the shipyards of Kuat, to land and space battles on Ryloth and Polus. You also get exclusive concept art that illustrates the evolution of the game's look, and two screensavers that celebrate the Star Wars universe with X-wings, TIE fighters, and a demonstration of the Empire's ultimate weapon -- the Death Star. Plus the Collector's Edition ships with four wallpaper images and a 3D lenticular package.
